Discerner of hearts,you look beneath our outward appearance

and see your image in each of us.Banish in us the blindness

that prevents us from recognizing truth,so we may see the world through your eyes

and with the compassion of Jesus Christ who redeems us. Amen.

Faith“For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a

mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move

from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will

be impossible for you.” —Matthew 17:20

Integrity“Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,

whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,

whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there

is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

—Philippians 4:8

Inclusiveness “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor

free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one

in Christ Jesus.” —Galatians 3:28

Compassion“When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he

had compassion on them and healed their sick.”

—Matthew 14:14

Social Justice“He has showed you what is good; and what the Lord

requires of you: to do justice, and to love kindness and

to walk humbly with your God.” —Micah 6:8

Stewardship“There will come seven years of great plenty

throughout all the land of Egypt. After them there

will arise seven years of famine, and all the plenty will

be forgotten in the land of Egypt; the famine will

consume the world.”—Genesis 41:29–30

MissionIn the spirit of the Gospels, the mission of Trinity Church Wall Street is to build generations of faithful leadership,

to build up neighborhoods, and to build financial capacity for holy service in New York City and around

the world. Our mission is grounded in our core values.

VisionWe seek to serve and heal the world by building neighborhoods that live gospel truths, generations of

faithful leaders, and sustainable communities.

Core Values

Core Values guide us in carrying out our mission and realizing our vision.

By their nature, core values are touchstones for prayer, discernment, ongoing conversation, and action. We seek

a deep understanding and ongoing engagement with Trinity’s Core Values. Over the years, we will continue

reflecting on what our Core Values mean in their application; how they challenge and inform decisions and actions

in Trinity’s ministries, and how they help our ministries be aligned with our mission and vision.

Welcome to St. Paul’s ChapelPlease add your voice and heart to the prayers. Everyone is welcome at Jesus’ Table, and everyone’s voice is needed to tell the Good News of God’s love in Christ. Please help others find a place near you, and greet the person next to you as we prepare to worship together.

If you would like to pray with someone confidentially, for yourself or others, go to the altar rail during communion time.

About this ServiceThe season of Lent—from an Old English word that means “Spring”—lasts 40 days, from Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday.

Traditionally, this time of year has been a period of solemn preparation, self-examination, and repentance. Remembering the time Jesus spent in the wilderness before beginning his ministry, some Christians adopt Lenten “disciplines”: giving up an item of food, taking on a prayer or devotional practice, taking a technology fast, or simply setting aside time each day to be present with God and those they love.

Although each Sunday is considered a “little Easter”—a time of joy and a rest from our fasting—services in this season take on a more thoughtful and quiet tone. We begin with a Confession of all the ways we know we stand in need of God’s never-failing mercy.

We’re glad to have you here with us as we walk the road to Jerusalem together.

The Liturgy of the WordThe First Reading 1 Samuel 16:1-13 GWMV p. 69, adapted

Reader A Reading from the first Book of Samuel.

God said to Samuel, “I know you’re upset that Saul won’t be king of Israel, but it’s time to move on. Fill your horn with oil and go. I will send you to Jesse, because one of his sons will be the next king.”

Samuel said, “I can’t do that. If Saul hears about it, he’ll kill me.”

God said, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I’ve come to sacrifice this to the Lord.’ Invite Jesse to the sacrifice. Then I’ll show you which of his sons you shall anoint.”

That’s what Samuel did. When he got to Bethlehem, the leaders of the city were scared, and asked if he’d come in peace. Samuel replied, “Yes. I’ve come to make a sacrifice to the Lord. Join me.”

Jesse and his sons went with Samuel. Samuel saw Eliab, Jesse’s oldest, and thought he must be the one. Everyone thought for sure he’s come to make Eliab the next king. But God whispered to Samuel, “He looks like a king, tall and handsome, but he’s not the one. I’m looking for someone with a special heart, not someone with special looks.”

Jesse called another son to meet Samuel. But he wasn’t the one either. Then another son. And another son. Seven sons in all came by Samuel to see if they’d be chosen king. Samuel finally said, “Is that the last of your sons, Jesse?”

Jesse said, “Well, the youngest is out in the field keeping the sheep.”

Samuel said, “Send for him to come in.”

They went and called David in from the fields. He was rugged and handsome and had beautiful eyes. Then God whispered in Samuel’s ear, “Anoint this one. He’s the next king.” So Samuel emptied his horn of oil on David’s head, surrounded by his brothers. And God’s spirit came upon David that day, and stayed with him. Then Samuel left and went on to Ramah.

The Word of the Lord.People Thanks be to God.

Sequence Hymn WLP 825

Please stand as you are able. The hymn will be sung two times.

Words: Psalm 103; Music: Jacques Berthier (1923-1994)

The Holy Gospel John 9:1-41 GWMV p. 71, adapted

Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Deacon As Jesus was walking along on a Sabbath day, the day when you weren’t supposed to do any work, he saw a man who had been born blind. His disciples asked him, “Teacher, whose sin caused this man to be born blind?” Jesus said, “Nobody’s sin caused his blindness. But now God’s goodness can be revealed in him. Remember, I am the light of the world.”

Then Jesus spat on the ground, and made mud with his saliva. He spread it on the man’s eyes, and sent the man to wash in a nearby pool of water. When the man came back to Jesus, he could see.

“Whoa!” said his neighbors. “Isn’t this the blind man who used to beg? It can’t be. It looks like him. But this man can see. What is going on?” The man said, “It’s me!” “Who opened your eyes for you?” they asked him. “Jesus did,” the man said. “He put mud on my eyes, and when I washed it off, I could see for the first time in my life.”

“Where is Jesus? We want to talk to him.”

“I have no idea where he went,” said the man. The neighbors took the man to the leaders of the church. They asked him questions about how he’d been made to see again. So the man told them his story.

“Hmpf,” said the leaders. “This can’t be God’s doing; nobody who believes in God works on the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can anyone do such a miracle apart from God?” So they asked the man, ‘’What do you think about this Jesus? It was your eyes that he opened.”

“I think he’s a prophet,” said the man.

7

Some people refused to believe he’d ever been blind at all. So they called the man’s parents and asked them. “Is this your son and was he born blind? How is it that he can see again?” The parents said, “Yes, this is our son who was born blind. We have no idea how he can see now or who opened his eyes. Ask him. He’s an adult. He’ll tell you.” His parents were afraid of those people, because they had said they were going to kick anyone who believed Jesus was the Messiah out of the synagogue.

The church leaders found the man and started questioning him again. The man said, “All I know is that I once was blind, and now I can see.”

“But how did he do it?”

The man said, “I already told you my story and you didn’t listen to me. Why do you need to hear it again? Is it because you want to be a follower of Jesus?”

“Ha! Not us. You may be a follower of Jesus, but we are followers of Moses. We know God spoke to Moses, but we have no idea where this Jesus comes from.”

“Isn’t that funny,” the man said. “You say you don’t know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. God may not listen to people we think are sinners, but we know he listens to those who love and obey him. I’ve never heard of anyone born blind being able to see. If Jesus weren’t from God, he wouldn’t have been able to do that.”

Then the church leaders chased him away. Jesus came and found him, and asked him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

“Who is he, sir? Tell me, so I can believe in him,’’ said the man.

Jesus said to him, “You have seen him with your very own eyes. He’s the one who is speaking to you right now.”

The man said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped Jesus. Jesus said, “I came into this world so that people who had been blind could see. Those who are able to see might become blind, though.” Some of the leaders heard Jesus say this. And they said, “We’re not blind, are we?”

Jesus said, “If you were blind, and you knew it, there wouldn’t be a barrier between you and God. It’s because you think you can see everything that a barrier between you and God exists.”

Please stand as you are able.

Celebrant We believe in one God,All the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Sanctus WLP 785

Sung two times.

Words: Variation on a traditional liturgical text; Music: Composer of melody unknown; arr. based on a two-part version as taught by Pablo D. Sosa (b. 1933)

Celebrant Holy, mighty, and merciful Lord, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Because of your great love, you sent us your son, Jesus. He reached out to heal the sick and the suffering; he preached good news to the poor. On the cross, he opened his arms to all.

On the night when he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread and gave you thanks; then he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying: “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”

After supper, he took the cup of wine; when he had given thanks, he gave it to them to drink, saying: “This cup is the new covenant in my Blood, shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sin. Do this for the remembrance of me.”

And so, remembering his death, resurrection, and ascension, we await his coming in glory. Pour out upon us, and upon these gifts of bread and wine, we pray, your Holy Spirit of love. Unite all who share in this heavenly food, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be all honor and glory, now and for ever.

All AMEN.

The Lord’s Prayer BCP p. 364

hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Sisters are InWeekdays, Trinity ChurchFive days a week, for an hour each day, a Sister of St. Margaret sits quietly in a pew, waiting for anyone who needs to talk, pray, or just sit quietly with someone. “Sister Gloria and I share this ministry,” Sister Ann Whittaker, SSM, said. “I firmly believe people in the world need someone to listen to them in a non-judgmental way. But it also takes courage for the person speaking to come and do it!” The sisters are in most weekday mornings or afternoons before or after the 12:05pm service.

Congregational Voice“He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord” (Proverbs 18:22 KJV). This is my favorite verse because it is true. It doesn’t say he who finds a woman, it says a wife. A wife is someone who is really with you through thick and thin. Not every woman wants to be a wife! —Thom Quash

This is a service of Holy Eucharist according to Rite II, which begins on page 355 of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP). Scripture readings are appointed by the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) and are excerpted from God’s Word, My Voice (GWMV) by Lyn Zill Briggs, which is a version of Biblical texts considered more accessible for children. Hymns come from The Hymnal 1982, Wonder, Love and Praise (WLP), and Lift Every Voice and Sing (LEVAS). The Prayers of the People and other service elements usually taken from the BCP may also come from additional sources as noted, including

the Book of Occasional Services (BOS), Enriching Our Worship (EOW), and A New Zealand Prayer Book (NZPB).

The image on the bulletin cover is the Trinity Seal. Inspired by The Revelation to John 10:1–10, it represents the arrival of the first Anglican Church in the colony of New York in 1697. The seal features a “mighty angel” with a “face like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire,” straddling the sea and the land and transferring the Gospel, brought from England by the ship, to a child, a symbol of the young colony of New York. In the scroll below the angel’s feet appear the words “JURO TEMPUS NON FORE AMPLIUS” which translate as “I Swear That There Shall Be No More Delay,” referring to the urgency of establishing the Church. Bulletin cover poetry is from the Revised Common Lectionary project sponsored by the Jean and Alexander Heard Library and the Vanderbilt Divinity Library, a division of the Heard Library.
