Welcome Thank you for joining us today as we gather together to worship our Savior and King, Jesus. This service is a liturgical service, meaning the congregation is an active participant. Theologian James K.A. Smith writes, liturgy “shapes and constitutes our identity by forming our most basic attunement to the world... our ultimate love/desire is shaped by practices, not [only] ideas that are merely communicated to us.” So we orient our heart and mind through the rhythm of poetry, song, vows, music, bread and wine. And through that process, we immerse ourselves into the ancient story of the Christian faith.

In the liturgy, the congregation participates in the bold liturgy. During the Communion portion of our service, all baptized Christians are welcome to the Lord’s Table. Restrooms are located in the outside breezeway located next to the parking lot. At this time please silent your phones or noisemakers.

Preparation As we gather together into this sacred time, quietly consider anew the mystery of the Word becoming flesh and dwelling among us. Just as Jesus the Christ was present two thousand years ago walking with and among his people, so we believe that in the gathering together of God’s holy church, Jesus meets us here as our risen Lord and King.

The Prelude

Call to Worship Celebrant I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; People I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. Celebrant I will be glad and rejoice in you; People I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

The Processional “YE SERVANTS OF GOD” Author: Charles Wesley Tune: William Croft

1. Ye servants of God, your Master Proclaim, And publish abroad His wonderful name; The name, all victorious, of Jesus extol; His kingdom is glorious, He rules over all.

2. God ruleth on high, almighty to save, And still He is nigh, His presence we have; The great congregation His triumph shall sing, Ascribing salvation to Jesus, our King.

3. “Salvation to God Who sits on the throne!” Let all cry aloud, and honor the Son; The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim, Fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb.

4. Then let us adore, and give Him His right – All glory and power, all wisdom and might, All honor and blessing, with angels above, And thanks never ceasing, and infinite love. The Acclamation Celebrant Alleluia! Christ is risen! People The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!

The Processional is the act of movement in worship by a group of people for the sake of all. In the Entrance, the procession symbolizes the entire congregation coming before the Lord.”

The Collect for Purity Celebrant Let us pray. Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord.

People Amen.

The Rector’s Welcome* At this time, children are invited to come forward to receive a blessing and then dismissed to Sunday School or Nursery.

The Summary of the Law Jesus said: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 22:37-‐40

Celebrant Lord, have mercy. People Christ, have mercy. Celebrant Lord, have mercy. The Gloria Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; you are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Praise Songs 10,000 REASONS (BLESS THE LORD) Authors and Music: Jonas Myrin and Matt Redman (2011) Chorus: Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul; Worship His holy name. Sing like never before, O my soul; I’ll worship Your holy name. 1. The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning, It’s time to sing Your song again, Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me, Let me be singing when the evening comes. Chorus 2. You’re rich in love and You’re slow to anger. Your name is great and Your heart is kind. For all Your goodness I will keep on singing; Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find. Chorus

3. And on that day, when my strength is failing, The end draws near, and my time has come; Still, my soul will sing Your praise unending Ten thousand years, and then forevermore! Chorus

“I WORSHIP YOU, ALMIGHTY GOD” I worship You, Almighty God; There is none like You. I worship You, O Prince of Peace; That is what I want to do. I give You praise for You are my righteousness. I worship You, Almighty God; There is none like You.

Why do we sing in church? As God's people gather for worship, we focus our attention on God and away from ourselves by singing together. We respond with thanksgiving to God, because we have hope. And we sing because it is the best and most complete response that we can utter.

The Collect of the Day Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And with your spirit. Celebrant Let us pray.

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

First Lesson ...................................................... Genesis 22:1-‐14

The Message * “The Cost of Discipleship” The Rev. Jonathan G. Smith

The Sermon Guide: Matthew 10:34-‐42 (The Voice) 34 Do not imagine that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 I have come to turn men against their fathers, daughters against their mothers, and daughters-‐in-‐law against their mothers-‐in-‐law. 36 You will find you have enemies even in your own household.[a] 37 If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, then you are not worthy of Me. If you love your son or daughter more than you love Me, then you are not worthy of Me. 38 If you refuse to take up your cross and follow Me on the narrow road, then you are not worthy of Me. 39 To find your life, you must lose your life—and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 40 Anyone who welcomes you welcomes Me, and anyone who welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. 41 Anyone who welcomes a prophet and surrenders to his prophecy will receive a prophet’s reward, and anyone who welcomes a righteous person and conforms to the righteousness that surrounds him and proceeds from him will receive a righteous man’s reward. 42 And anyone who has given so much as a cup of cold water to one of the little ones, because he is My disciple, I tell you, that person will be well rewarded.

Hear God’s Message. Pray for the readers, the preacher, the witnesses and others who may bring a word from God. Pray that the ears and hearts of everyone will be open and respond to God.

The Affirmation of Faith

“The Nicene Creed”

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, visible and invisible.

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, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and 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, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified who 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.

The Prayers of the People* After each petition the following is said

Minister Lord in your mercy. People Hear our prayer.

Minister Let us pray for the whole state of Christ’s Church and the world.

Almighty and ever-‐living God, in your holy Word you have taught us to offer prayers and requests, and to give thanks for all whom you have made. We appeal to your mercy, Gracious Lord, that you might hear our prayer. Lord, in your mercy,

When we affirm our faith together, it reminds us that we are part of an ancient and global faith. This was the last great creed of the undivided church. The Nicene Creed forms the great theology of the Holy Trinity, the great drama of redemption, and the hope of restoration from sin through faith in Jesus Christ.

Prayer is a vital act in Christian worship. To aid in preparing the congregation for prayer, the church developed litanies dating back to the early church of Antioch. A litany is a prayer form in which a minister says or sings a petition followed by a congregational response. Prayer doesn’t change God-‐ prayer changes us. Through prayer we are changed and transformed into the image and likeness of Jesus Christ. To pray means that we must be open and willing to change.

Hear our prayer.

Inspire your universal Church by your Spirit, granting that all who confess your holy Name may agree in the truth of your holy Word and live in unity and godly love. Lord, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer.

Give grace, heavenly Father, to all Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, that by their life and teaching, they may proclaim your true and life-‐giving Word, and rightly administer your holy Sacraments. Lord, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer.

Help us to fulfill your great commission; making disciples of all nations; teaching them to obey all that you have commanded. Lord, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer.

We ask you to rule the hearts of all who govern us, especially Barak Obama, our President. May they administer justice, govern wisely, and strive for the welfare and peace of the whole world. Lord, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer.

Grant your heavenly grace to all people, especially these gathered here, that with meek and reverent hearts, we may hear and trust your holy Word, devoting our lives to your righteous service. Lord, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer.

We humbly ask you, gracious Lord, to comfort and strengthen all those who, in this earthly life are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer. I invite you to add your own requests at this time.

Spontaneous prayers are offered here.

We bless your holy Name for all your servants who departed this life in your faith and fear, praying you would grant us grace to follow their good examples, that with them we might partake in your heavenly kingdom. Lord, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer.

Page 12


Minister Heavenly Father, grant these our prayers for Jesus Christ’s sake, our only Mediator and Advocate, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.

Confession and Absolution* Minister All who truly and earnestly repent of your sins, and seek to be reconciled with your neighbors, and intend to lead the new life, following the commandments of God, and walking in his holy ways: draw near with faith and make your humble confession to Almighty God.

All Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

Celebrant Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who in his great mercy has promised forgiveness of sins to all those, who sincerely repent and with true faith turn to him, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Peace Celebrant The Peace of the Lord be always with you. People And with your spirit.

Repent. Because sin is so pervasive in our lives, examine your conduct by the rule of God’s Commandments. Repent of your sin, and forgive those who have sinned against you so that your Heavenly Father may forgive you. Fully receive God’s Love in your heart, mind, body and spirit.

The Offering and Hymn “HE IS OUR PEACE” Author: Kandela Groves; (1975) Tune: Kandela Groves He is our peace, who has broken down every wall. He is our peace, he is our peace – (Repeat) Cast all your cares on him, for he cares for you. He is our peace, He is our peace. – (Repeat)

The Great Thanksgiving

“The Doxology”

Praise God from whom all blessings flow, Praise Him all creatures here below. Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise Him above ye heavenly host, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Celebrant 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 just and right so to do.

“The Eucharist is the definitive action practiced in the Christian community that keeps Jesus Christ before us as the Savior of the world and our Savior, and ourselves as sinners in need of being saved. The Eucharist is the sacramental act that pulls us into actual material participation with Christ (eating and drinking bread and wine) as he gives his very life “for us and for our salvation” (cf., the Nicene Creed)... The Eucharist puts Jesus in his place: dying on the cross and giving us that sacrificed life. And it puts us in our place: opening our hands and receiving the remission of our sins, which is our salvation.”

Page 14


The Sursum Corda 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; who on the first day of the week overcame death and the grave, and by his glorious resurrection opened to us the way of everlasting life.

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

The Sanctus Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of power and might. Heaven and earth are full, full of Your glory. Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest.

The Prayer of Consecration Almighty God, our heavenly Father, in your tender mercy, you gave your only Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption. He offered himself and made, once for all time, a perfect and sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. He instituted this remembrance of his passion and death, which he commanded us to continue until he comes again. So now, Father, we ask you to bless and sanctify, with your Word and Holy Spirit, these gifts of bread and wine that we may partake of his most blessed Body and Blood.

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

After supper, Jesus took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink this, all of you; for 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 in remembrance of me.”

The Proclamation Celebrant Therefore, we proclaim the mystery of faith: All Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

Page 15

2 9 J U N E 2 0 1 4

Celebrant Lord and heavenly Father, with these holy gifts we celebrate the memorial instituted by your beloved Son, remembering his passion and death, his resurrection and ascension, and his promise to come again. Grant that by his merits and death, and through faith in his Blood, we and your whole Church may receive forgiveness of our sins and all other benefits of his passion, making us one body with him that he may dwell in us, and we in him. And here we offer to you, O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies, to be a living sacrifice, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Great Amen Celebrant 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 forever. AMEN

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as

it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.

And 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 Fraction Celebrant Alleluia. Christ our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed for us, once for all upon the

cross. People Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia.

Page 16


The Prayer of Humble Access* We do not presume to come to this your table, merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness,

but in your abundant and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under your table. But you are the same

Lord, who always delights in showing mercy. Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of your dear Son Jesus Christ and to drink his

blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

The Ministry of Communion All Christians are welcome to receive communion. Note: Trinity Anglican Church uses real wine.

Communion Song “LAMB OF GOD” Author: Twila Paris (1985) Tune: Twila Paris 1. Your only Son, no sin to hide, But You have sent Him from Your side To walk upon this guilty sod, And to become the Lamb of God. Refrain 2. Your gift of love they crucified, They laughed and scorned Him as He died; The humble King they named a fraud, And sacrificed the Lamb of God. Refrain

3. I was so lost I should have died, But You have brought me to Your side To be led by Your staff and rod, And to be called a lamb of God. Refrain: O Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God; I love the holy Lamb of God. O wash me in His precious blood. (1,2) My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. (3) Till I am just a lamb of God

Page 17

2 9 J U N E 2 0 1 4

“I LOVE YOU, LORD” Author: Laurie Klein (1978) Tune: Laurie Klein I love You, Lord, and I lift my voice To worship You, O my soul, rejoice! Take joy, my King, in what You hear; May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear. Post Communion Prayer Heavenly Father, we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and for assuring us in these holy mysteries that we are living members of the Body of your Son, and heirs of your eternal kingdom. And now, Father, send us out into the world to do the work you have given us to do, to love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and forever. Amen.

The Blessing of the Congregation The peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you, and remain with you always. Amen.

“The blessing is an authoritative declaration of God’s favor on the people. Like the Aaronic blessing of the Hebrew form (Num. 6:24–26), the Christian blessing proclaims God’s continued presence with the people of God’s name (Phil. 4:7).”

Page 18


Recessional Hymn “GOD OF GRACE AND GOD OF GLORY” Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Tune: John Hughes 1. God of grace and God of glory, On Thy people pour Thy power. Crown Thine ancient Church’s story; Bring her bud to glorious flower. Grant us wisdom; Grant us courage for the facing of this hour, For the facing of this hour. 2. Lo! The hosts of evil round us scorn Thy Christ, assail His ways! From the fears that long have bound us, Free our hearts to faith and praise. Grant us wisdom; Grant us courage for the living of these days, For the living of these days.

3. Cure Thy children’s warring madness; Bend our pride to Thy control. Shame our wanton, selfish gladness, Rich in things and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom; Grant us courage, Lest we miss Thy kingdom’s goal. Lest we miss Thy kingdom’s goal. 4. Set our feet on lofty places; Gird our lives that they may be Armored with all Christ-‐like graces In the fight to set men free. Grant us wisdom; Grant us courage That we fail not man nor Thee, That we fail not man nor Thee.

The Dismissal Minister Go in peace to love and the serve the Lord. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleuia!

People Thanks be to God! Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleuia!
