Holy Eucharist – 10 AM

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD

Prelude “Come, Holy Ghost, Our Souls Inspire” arr. by Wilbur Held

After the prelude, a bell is rung three times. This ringing of the bell does not merely announce the start of the opening hymn; it is a call to quiet ourselves.

We hope you will take advantage of this invitation to be still.

Opening Acclamation BCP, p. 299

Celebrant Alleluia. Christ is risen. People The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia.

The Celebrant then continues

4

Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every race and

nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

First Reading – Acts 2:1-21

A lector reads the first reading from Scripture, first saying

A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles.

The first reading will be read in French this morning, as a way to recall the giving of the Spirit to the early Church, manifest in people hearing “God’s deeds of power” in their own languages.

Quand le jour de la Pentecôte arriva …

The full text in English follows.

When the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one

place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.

Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs -- in our own languages we hear them speaking about God's deeds of power."

All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" But others sneered and said, "They are filled with new wine." But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, "People of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o'clock in the morning.

"No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

5

In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh,

and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women,

in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.

And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist.

The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord's great and glorious day.

Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

At the conclusion of the reading, the lector says

Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. People Thanks be to God.

The Psalm – Psalm 68:1-10, 33-36

The People sing the Psalm following what is known as “Simplified Anglican Chant.” Each half-verse of the Psalm is sung on the reciting note up to the last accented syllable (in bold print below).

25 O LORD, how manifold are your works! *

in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

26 Yonder is the great and wide sea with its living things too many to number, * creatures both small and great.

27 There move the ships, and there is that Lev-iathan, * which you have made for the sport of it.

28 All of them look to you * to give them their food in due season.

29 You give it to them; they gather it; * you open your hand, and they are filled with good things.

6

30 You hide your face, and they are terrified; * you take away their breath, and they die and return to their dust.

31 You send forth your Spirit, and they are cre-ated; * and so you renew the face of the earth.

32 May the glory of the LORD endure for ever; * may the LORD rejoice in all his works.

33 He looks at the earth and it trembles; * he touches the mountains and they smoke.

34 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; * I will praise my God while I have my being.

35 May these words of mine please him; * I will rejoice in the LORD.

37 Bless the LORD, O my soul. * Halle-lujah!

Second Reading – 1 Corinthians 12:3b-13

A lector reads the second reading from Scripture, first saying

A Reading from the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians.

The second reading will be read in Spanish this morning, as a way to recall the giving of the Spirit to the early Church, manifest in people hearing “God’s deeds of power” in their own languages.

Nadie puede decir: Jesús es el Señor, sino por el Espíritu Santo …

The full text in English follows.

No one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

7

All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses.

For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body -- Jews or Greeks, slaves or free-- and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

At the conclusion of the reading, the lector says

Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. People Thanks be to God.

Gospel Hymn “Celtic Alleluia”

As the Gospel Book is brought forward, the following “Alleluia” is sung twice through.

Gospel – John 20:19-23

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

When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of

the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Temple authorities, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Sermon – The Rev. Jedediah D. Holdorph

The Renewal of Baptismal Vows BCP, p. 292

On the Feast of Pentecost, in place of the Nicene Creed or other Affirmation of Faith, the People are invited to renew their baptismal vows).

Celebrant Do you reaffirm your renunciation of evil and renew your commitment to Jesus Christ?

People I do.

Celebrant Do you believe in God the Father? People I believe in God, the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth.

Celebrant Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? People I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

Celebrant Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? People I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Celebrant Will you continue in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers?

People I will, with God's help.

Celebrant Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord?

People I will, with God's help.

9

Celebrant Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ? People I will, with God's help.

Celebrant Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself? People I will, with God's help.

Celebrant Will you strive for justice, freedom, and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?

People I will, with God's help.

The Celebrant concludes the Renewal of Vows as follows

May Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and bestowed upon us the forgiveness of sins, keep us in eternal life by his grace, in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

Before continuing in the usual fashion, the Celebrant offers prayers for those who have died during this coronavirus pandemic.

After a time of silence, the Celebrant offers concluding prayers.

O God of grace and glory, we remember before you this day those who have died. We thank you for giving them to us, their families and friends, to know and to love as companions on our earthly pilgrimage. In your boundless compassion, console us who mourn. Give us faith to see in death the gate of eternal life, so that in quiet confidence we may continue our course on earth, until, by your call, we are reunited with those who have gone before; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord; and let light perpetual shine upon them.

May their souls, and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace and rise in glory. Amen.

11

The Exchange of the Peace BCP, p. 360

The Council of Nicaea, in the 4th century, forbade kneeling and confessions throughout the season of Easter. Accordingly, the confession will be omitted this morning.

As able, all stand and prepare to greet one another in the Lord’s name, the Celebrant first saying

The peace of God be always with you. People And also with you.

Please greet any who may be near with a word of peace.

Birthday/Anniversary Blessings (along with other special prayers/announcements)

For birthdays:

Watch over your children (child), O Lord, as their days increase; bless and guide them wherever they may be. Strengthen them when they stand; comfort them when discouraged or sorrowful; raise them up if they fall; and in their hearts may your peace which passes understanding abide all the days of their lives (life), through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For anniversaries:

O gracious and everliving God, look mercifully on your servants. Grant them your blessing, and assist them with your grace, that with true fidelity and steadfast love they may honor and keep their promises and vows; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

EDUCATION FOR MINISTRY AND THE GRADUATION OF KAKE HUCK

Education for Ministry (EfM) is a unique four-year distance learning certificate program in theological education based upon small-group study and practice. Since its founding in 1975, this international program has assisted more than 100,000 participants in discovering and nurturing their call to Christian service. EfM helps the faithful encounter the breadth and depth of the Christian tradition and bring it into conversation with their experiences of the world as they study, worship, and engage in theological reflection together.

Kake Huck is the current mentor for the Education for Ministry program here at Trinity. This morning, she is also its most recent graduate.

The Presider introduces the reason for today’s celebration, saying

Today we celebrate the graduation of Kake Huck, who has completed four years in Education for Ministry, studying the scriptures, church history, and theology. For all students in EfM, these years are also marked by community, reflecting on living out our beliefs in our daily lives, and purposefully seeking where God is calling us to ministry. Let us join together with Kake in this celebration.

The Presider then continues, inviting us all into prayer of thanksgiving for the rigorous work of EfM and those who take such work seriously, first saying

Let us pray.

Presider Give thanks to our God for all scriptures: Graduate For psalms and letters, for gospels and books, All Give thanks and praise to God. Presider Give thanks to our God for God’s body, the Church: Graduate For ministers and priests, for congregations and parishes, for bishops and

dioceses, for worship in all forms and styles, and for the whole family of saints. All Give thanks and praise to God.

13

authors. All Give thanks and praise to God. Presider Give thanks to our God for this graduate of Education for Ministry. Graduate And for all who have graduated in years past. All Give thanks and praise to God. The Presider offers a prayer on behalf of the other participants of EfM at Trinity, first saying

Kake, your classmates treasure the life they have shared with them in your worship, in your study and in your ministries. You are a part of their lives, and they thank God for your presence in their midst.

The EfM Group would normally encircle Kake and lay hands on her as the prayer continues

Presider Loving God of all, bless and keep our sister Kake with your daily grace, that she may continue to grow and to serve you each day of her life. May your Spirit be a constant companion through her joys, her sorrows, and her daily life, that she may feel your love always. Bless us all, in our worship, study, and ministry, that we may continue to serve you daily, in all that we say and do. This we pray in the name of your son our Savior, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

We offer Kake her diploma, saying

On behalf of your EfM group and The University of the South School of Theology, welcome to the community of EfM graduates.

Offertory Hymn “Like the murmur of the dove’s song” Hymnal 513

15

The Great Thanksgiving: Eucharistic Prayer B BCP, p. 367

The People stand. The Celebrant, whether bishop or priest, faces them and says

The Lord be with you. People And also with you.

Celebrant Lift up your hearts. People We lift them to the Lord.

Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People It is right to give our thanks and praise.

Then, facing the Holy Table, the Celebrant proceeds

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, through Jesus Christ our Lord. In fulfillment of his true promise, the Holy Spirit came down on this day from heaven, lighting upon the disciples to teach them and to lead them into all truth; uniting peoples of many tongues in the confession of one faith, and giving to your Church the power to serve you as a royal priesthood, and to preach the Gospel to all nations.

Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

Celebrant and People

The Celebrant continues

We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son.

16

For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, "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; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, "Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me."

Therefore, according to his command, O Father,

Celebrant and People

We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;

The Celebrant continues

And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.

We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with [ and] all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation.

By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN.

17

Lord’s Prayer

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

All 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 for ever. Amen. The Breaking of the Bread BCP, p. 364

Communion Music “Come Down, O Love Divine” arr. by Lyndel Leatherman

Prayer after Communion

The ancient tradition of the Church reminds us that when it is impossible to be present at a celebration of the Eucharist, and to receive Holy Communion, the desire to be united with Christ (and the People of God) in the Sacrament is enough for God to grant all the spiritual benefits of Communion.

The presider invites the following prayer to be said by all:

Since I cannot at this time receive communion, I pray you to come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and let nothing separate me from you: come and dwell in the fullness of your strength; be my wisdom, and guide me in right pathways; conform my life and actions to the image of your holiness; and in the power of your gracious might, rule over every hostile power that threatens or disturbs the growth of your kingdom; who with the Father and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

(following James Koester, SSJE, adapt. from Saint Augustine’s Prayer Book)

The Blessing of God’s People

The bishop when present, or the Priest, may bless the people, saying

May Almighty God, who enlightened the minds of the disciples with the Holy Spirit, richly bless you, that you may abound more and more for ever. Amen.

May God, who sent the Holy Spirit as a flame of fire that rested upon the heads of the disciples, make you shine with the pure light of that sacred presence. Amen.

May God, whose Spirit caused those of many tongues to proclaim Jesus as Lord, embolden your life and send you out to bear witness in word and deed. Amen.

And the blessing of God Almighty, Creator, Redeemer, and Giver of life, be upon you and remain with you for ever. Amen.

19

Closing Hymn “Come down, O Love divine” Hymnal 516

The Dismissal

The Deacon, or the Celebrant, dismisses the People with these or similar words
