The Liturgy of the Palms

OPENING ANTHEM

Celebrant Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord.

People Peace in heaven and glory in the highest.

Celebrant Let us pray.

Assist us mercifully with your help, O Lord God of our salvation, that we may enter with joy upon the contemplation of those mighty acts, whereby you have given us life and immortality; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. PROCESSIONAL GOSPEL READING: Matthew 21:1-11

1When Jesus and his disciples had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. 3If anyone says anything to you, just say this, ‘The Lord needs them.’ And he will send them immediately.” 4This took place to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet, saying, 5“Tell the daughter of Zion, Look, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” 6The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; 7they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. 8A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!” 10When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, “Who is this?” 11The crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.” BLESSING OF THE PALMS

The Celebrant then says the following blessing

Celebrant The Lord be with you.

People And also with you.

Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

People It is right to give him thanks and praise.

It is right to praise you, Almighty God, for the acts of love by which you have redeemed us through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. On this day he entered the holy city of Jerusalem in triumph, and was proclaimed as King of kings by those who spread their garments and branches of palm along his way. Let these branches be for us signs of his victory, and grant that we who bear them in his name may ever hail him as our King, and follow him in the way that leads to eternal life; who lives and reigns in glory with you and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.

Today we celebrate our annual observance of Palm Sunday, the start of Holy Week. The liturgical color is red, and we begin our worship with the Liturgy of the Palms and the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. Though Jesus rejected being a king, that is what we celebrate today before descending into the later events of Holy Week which culminate in the death of Jesus on the Cross.

SECOND ANTHEM Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. THE PROCESSION

Deacon Let us go forth in peace.

People In the name of Christ. Amen.

During the procession, all hold branches in their hands. PROCESSION HYMN

All glory, laud, and honor (Valet will ich dir geben) Blue Hymnal 154

PROCESSION COLLECT At a suitable place, the procession may halt while the following or some other appropriate Collect is said

God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

While we process around the altar in the church, you are invited to process around your home. You might even

carry and wave around your own branches.

This might produce a fond memory that will not soon be forgotten.

The Word of God

Moment of silence – In Lent we will be kneeling and observing a minute of silence at this point in our

worship.

THE COLLECT OF THE DAY

Celebrant The Lord be with you.

People And also with you.

Celebrant Let us pray.

Almighty and everliving God, in your tender love for the human race you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and also share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Lessons

The people sit.

FIRST READING: Isaiah 50:4-9a A Reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.

4The Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens— wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught. 5The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I did not turn backward. 6I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I did not hide my face from insult and spitting.

7The Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame; 8he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me. 9aIt is the Lord God who helps me; who will declare me guilty?

Reader The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God.

Now that we have finished the Litany of the Palms, our worship continues with the same format and words that we use most Sundays of the year. The prayers and readings give us a preview of what is to come in the rest of Holy Week. As you worship from home with our live streaming of the service you may decide to stand and kneel at the appropriate times. You can know that the others worshipping today are doing the same body movement as you are. What a way to do community!

Psalm 31:9-16 The cantor introduces the refrain, then all repeat.

The cantor sings the psalm.

9Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; *

my eye is consumed with sorrow,

and also my throat and my belly.

10For my life is wasted with grief,

and my years with sighing; *

my strength fails me because of affliction,

and my bones are consumed. All repeat the refrain.

11I have become a reproach to all my enemies and even to my neighbors,

a dismay to those of my acquaintance; *

when they see me in the street they avoid me.

12I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; *

I am as useless as a broken pot. All repeat the refrain.

13For I have heard the whispering of the crowd;

fear is all around; *

they put their heads together against me;

they plot to take my life.

14But as for me, I have trusted in you, O Lord. *

I have said, “You are my God. All repeat the refrain.

15My times are in your hand; *

rescue me from the hand of my enemies,

and from those who persecute me.

16Make your face to shine upon your servant, *

and in your loving-kindness save me.” All repeat the refrain.

SECOND READING: Philippians 2:5-11 A Reading from the letter of the Apostle Paul to the Philippians. 5Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, 6who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, 7but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, 8he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death— even death on a cross. 9Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, 10so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Reader The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God.

This psalm is an individual lament and a

prayer for deliverance from enemies. Because of illness the psalmist is

shunned by all, which results in shame.

THE PASSION GOSPEL: MATTHEW 27:11-54

Deacon The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew.

People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

11Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said, “You say so.” 12But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he did not answer. 13Then Pilate said to him, “Do you not hear how many accusations they make against you?” 14But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed. 15Now at the festival the governor was accustomed to release a prisoner for the crowd, anyone whom they wanted. 16At that time they had a notorious prisoner, called Jesus Barabbas. 17So after they had gathered, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you, Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Messiah?” 18For he realized that it was out of jealousy that they had handed him over. 19While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for today I have suffered a great deal because of a dream about him.” 20Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed. 21The governor again said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.” 22Pilate said to them, “Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” All of them said, “Let him be crucified!” 23Then he asked, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Let him be crucified!” 24So when Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.” 25Then the people as a whole answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!” 26So he released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be crucified. 27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s headquarters, and they gathered the whole cohort around him. 28They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29and after twisting some thorns into a crown, they put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand and knelt before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 30They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head. 31After mocking him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him. 32As they went out, they came upon a man from Cyrene named Simon; they compelled this man to carry his cross. 33And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), 34they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. 35And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots; 36then they sat down there and kept watch over him. 37Over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” 38Then two bandits were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 39Those who passed by derided him, shaking their heads 40and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking him, saying, 42“He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. 43He trusts in God; let God

deliver him now, if he wants to; for he said, ‘I am God’s Son.’ ” 44The bandits who were crucified with him also taunted him in the same way.

It is traditional for us to stand for the

reading of the Gospel. You may do this at

home as you hear the reading. As the Gospel

is announced, some people use their thumb to make the sign of the

cross on their forehead, mouth, and

heart. These three locations indicate that

the Gospel reading is to enter the mind,

voice, and heart.

45From noon on, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 46And about three o’clock Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 47When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, “This man is calling for Elijah.” 48At once one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink. 49But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.” 50Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last. 51At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, and the rocks were split. 52The tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. 53After his resurrection they came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many. 54Now when the centurion and those with him, who were keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were terrified and said, “Truly this man was God’s Son!”

Deacon The Gospel of the Lord.

People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

SEQUENCE HYMN Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Blue Hymnal 172 (see page 7) Verse 2 THE SERMON The Rev. Rob Keim

THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE

All kneel as you are able.

Let us pray for the Church and for the world.

Grant, Almighty God, that all who confess your Name may be united in your truth, live

together in your love, and reveal your glory in the world.

(Silence)

Lord, in your mercy

Hear our prayer.

Guide the people of this land, and of all the nations, in the ways of justice and peace; that we

may honor one another and serve the common good.

(Silence)

Lord, in your mercy

Hear our prayer.

Give us all a reverence for the earth as your own creation, that we may use its resources

rightly in the service of others and to your honor and glory.

(Silence)

Lord, in your mercy

Hear our prayer.

In this season of Lent there are several times in worship when you may kneel as you are able. Kneeling before God has a different feel and it signifies our humbleness. Some people do not like to kneel or cannot kneel. Feel free to stand or sit as an alternative to kneeling.

The Holy Communion

OFFERTORY SENTENCE

The Celebrant says Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and make good your vows to the Most High. OFFERTORY ANTHEM When I survey the wondrous cross Arr. Richard Shephard

When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. See from His head, His hands, His feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. (Isaac Watts)

DOXOLOGY

The people stand and sing.

The Great Thanksgiving

The People remain standing.

The Celebrant continues

We praise you and we bless you, holy and gracious God, source of life abundant. From before time you made ready the creation. Your Spirit moved over the deep and brought all things into being: sun, moon, and stars; earth, winds, and waters; and every living thing. You made us in your image, and taught us to walk in your ways. But we rebelled against you, and wandered far away; and yet, as a mother cares for her children, you would not forget us. Time and again you called us to live in the fullness of your love. And so this day we join with Saints and Angels

in the chorus of praise that rings through eternity, lifting our voices to magnify you as we say: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest. Glory and honor and praise to you, holy and living God.

To deliver us from the power of sin and death

and to reveal the riches of your grace,

you looked with favor upon Mary, your willing servant,

that she might conceive and bear a son,

Jesus the holy child of God.

Living among us, Jesus loved us.

He broke bread with outcasts and sinners,

healed the sick, and proclaimed good news to the poor.

He yearned to draw all the world to himself

yet we were heedless of his call to walk in love.

Then, the time came for him to complete upon the cross

the sacrifice of his life,

and to be glorified by you.

On the night before he died for us,

Jesus was at table with his friends.

He took bread, gave thanks to you,

broke it, and gave it to them, and said:

“Take, eat:

This is my Body, which is given for you.

Do this for the remembrance of me.”

As supper was ending, Jesus took the cup of wine.

Again, he gave thanks to you,

gave it to them, and said:

“Drink this, all of you:

This version of our Eucharistic Prayer is

from the supplemental Episcopal resource

called Enriching Our Worship.

Page 13: St. Barnabas’ Episcopal Church...2020/04/05  · St. Barnabas’ Episcopal Church Palm Sunday | April 5, 2020 God’s discerning, inclusive, Christ-centered church, engaged in outreach

Page | 13

This is my Blood of the new Covenant,

which is poured out for you and for all

for the forgiveness of sins.

Whenever you drink it,

do this for the remembrance of me.”

Now gathered at your table, O God of all creation, and remembering Christ, crucified and risen, who was and is and is to come, we offer to you our gifts of bread and wine, and ourselves, a living sacrifice. Pour out your Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Body and Blood of Christ. Breathe your Spirit over the whole earth and make us your new creation, the Body of Christ given for the world you have made. In the fullness of time bring us, with Barnabas, and all your saints, from every tribe and language and people and nation, to feast at the banquet prepared from the foundation of the world. Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, to you be honor, glory, and praise, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Deacon says

As our Savior Christ has taught us, we now pray,

People and Celebrant

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins,

as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial,

and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power,

and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.

The Breaking of the Bread

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: grant us peace. The Celebrant says The Gifts of God for the People of God. All are welcomed at God's table.

This is the ecumenical or contemporary version of the Lord’s prayer that is used across many denominations.

If you are using your own bread and wine, then you may serve yourself at this time. With the bread you say out loud “the body of Christ, the bread of heaven.” And, with the wine you say “the blood of Christ, the cup of salvation.”

COMMUNION HYMN What wondrous love is this Blue Hymnal 439

Moment of silence – In Lent we will be observing a minute of silence at this point in our worship.

After Communion, the Celebrant says

Let us pray.

Celebrant and People

God of abundance, you have fed us with the bread of life and cup of salvation; you have united us with Christ and one another; and you have made us one with all your people in heaven and on earth. Now send us forth in the power of your Spirit, that we may proclaim your redeeming love to the world and continue for ever in the risen life of Christ our Savior. Amen.

This version of our Post Communion Prayer is from the supplemental Episcopal resource called Enriching Our Worship.

Organ Voluntary O Sacred Head, Sore Wounded Arr. Michael Burkhardt

based on HERZLICH TUT MICH VERLANGEN by Hans Leo Hassler, 1564 - 1612

This Parting Hymn became popular during World War II. We have

added it to remind us of the joy we will have

when we are “released” and reunited with one

another. We will continue to sing the

various verses of this hymn until we meet

again.

Making donations to St. Barnabas – As you know, COVID-19 has temporarily suspended our in-person

worship but many of us want to continue to contribute to St. Barnabas. We have several options to continue

giving as we progress through this change in how we worship.

Electronic transfer This might be a good time to consider setting up electronic transfer of funds. At St. Barnabas we have Quick Pay with Zelle set up and many banks and financial institutions also use this software. Payments can be set up as one-time or recurring. To transfer money, use the email address of the Financial Secretary ([email protected]) as the recipient. If you have questions or difficulties setting it up, call Janette Sofranko at 805-801-4526 Auto pay from your financial institution Many banks and financial institutions offer a service often called Auto Pay or Bill Pay. It’s fairly easy to set up on line if you do on line banking. We have several donors using this option today. The payment can be set up one time or recurring. The bank will issue the check on the date you give them and mail the check to St. Barnabas. Mail your check You can also mail your check to St. Barnabas.
