8:00 a.m. - The Holy Eucharist & HomilySeasonal SentenceYou are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, that you may declare thewonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.1 Peter 2.9The Gathering of The Community (Page 230)Celebrant: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and thefellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.All: And with thy spirit.Celebrant: Let us pray.All: Almighty God, unto whom all hearts be open, all desires known, and fromwhom no secrets are hid: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration ofthy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holyname; through Christ our Lord. Amen.The Summary of the LawCelebrant: Our Lord Jesus Christ said: hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord;and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, andwith all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first and greatcommandment. And the second is like unto it: thou shalt love thy neighbour asthyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.All: Lord, have mercy upon us, and write both these thy laws in our hearts, webeseech thee.Lord, have mercy upon us.Christ have mercy upon us.Lord, have mercy upon us.The GloriaAll: Glory be to God on high, and in earth peace, good will towards men. Wepraise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee, we glorify thee, we give thanks tothee for thy great glory, O Lord God, heavenly king, God the Father almighty.O Lord, the only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of theFather, that takest away the sin of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou thattakest away the sin of the world, receive our prayer.Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us. Forthou only art holy; thou only art the Lord; thou only, O Christ, with the HolyGhost, art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen.3

The Collect (Page 365)Celebrant: Let us prayAlmighty God, you have taught us through your Son that love fulfils the law. Maywe love you with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength,and may we love our neighbour as ourselves; through Jesus Christ our Lord, wholives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.All: Amen.The First Reading: Genesis 22:1-14After these things God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" And he said,"Here I am." He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, andgo to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of themountains that I shall show you." So Abraham rose early in the morning,saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac;he cut the wood for the burnt offering, and set out and went to the place in thedistance that God had shown him. On the third day Abraham looked up and sawthe place far away. Then Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with thedonkey; the boy and I will go over there; we will worship, and then we will comeback to you." Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on his sonIsaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. So the two of them walkedon together. Isaac said to his father Abraham, "Father!" And he said, "Here I am,my son." He said, "The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for aburnt offering?" Abraham said, "God himself will provide the lamb for a burntoffering, my son." So the two of them walked on together. When they came tothe place that God had shown him, Abraham built an altar there and laid thewood in order. He bound his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar, on top of thewood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to kill his son. Butthe angel of the Lord called to him from heaven, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!"And he said, "Here I am." He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy or doanything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheldyour son, your only son, from me." And Abraham looked up and saw a ram,caught in a thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered itup as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place "The Lordwill provide"; as it is said to this day, "On the mount of the Lord it shall beprovided."Reader: The Word of the Lord.All: Thanks be to God.4

Psalm 13 (Page 717)1How long, O Lord? will you forget me for ever? *how long will you hide yourface from me?2How long shall I have perplexity in my mind, and grief in my heart, day afterday? *how long shall my enemy triumph over me?3Look upon me and answer me, O Lord my God; *give light to my eyes, lest Isleep in death;4Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” *and my foes rejoice that Ihave fallen.5But I put my trust in your mercy; *my heart is joyful because of your savinghelp.6I will sing to the Lord, for he has dealt with me richly; *I will praise the name ofthe Lord Most High.Loving and merciful God, hear the prayers of those who cry to you, and shinewith the light of your presence on those who live in the shadow of death. Maywe rejoice in your saving help and sing you songs of praise in the name of ourrisen Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.The Second Reading: Romans 6:12-23Do not let sin exercise dominion in your mortal bodies, to make you obey theirpassions. No longer present your members to sin as instruments of wickedness,but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death tolife, and present your members to God as instruments of righteousness. For sinwill have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By nomeans! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedientslaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads todeath, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God thatyou, having once been slaves of sin, have become obedient from the heart tothe form of teaching to which you were entrusted, and that you, having been setfree from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. I am speaking in humanterms because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented yourmembers as slaves to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so nowpresent your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification. When youwere slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. So what advantagedid you then get from the things of which you now are ashamed? The end ofthose things is death. But now that you have been freed from sin and enslavedto God, the advantage you get is sanctification. The end is eternal life. For the5

wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus ourLord.Reader: The Word of the Lord.All: Thanks be to God.The GospelReader: The Lord be with you.All: And with thy spirit.Reader: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew (10:40-42)All: Glory be to thee, O Lord.Jesus said, "Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes mewelcomes the one who sent me. Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of aprophet will receive a prophet's reward; and whoever welcomes a righteousperson in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous;and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in thename of a disciple - truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.Reader: The Gospel of Christ.All: Praise be to thee, O Christ.HomilyThe Apostles’ Creed (Page 251)All: I believe in God the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth:And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, andburied; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; heascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty;from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints;the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body,and the life everlasting.

Rick Armstrong & Rob HansfordThe Confession & Absolution (Page 238)Celebrant: Hear what comfortable words our Saviour Christ saith unto all thattruly turn to him.Come unto me all that labour and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you.Matthew 1.28God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, to the end that allthat believe in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3.16Hear also what Saint Paul saith.This is a true saying, and worthy of all to be received, that Christ Jesus came intothe world to save sinners. 1 Timothy 1.15Hear also what Saint John saith.If anyone sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sinsof the whole world. 1 John 2.1,2Let us humbly confess our sins to almighty God.All: Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things and judgeof all people: we acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness,which we from time to time most grievously have committed, by thought, wordand deed, against thy divine majesty. We do earnestly repent, and are heartilysorry for these our misdoings. Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; for thy7

Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we mayever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life, to the honour and gloryof thy name; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.Celebrant: Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hathpromised forgiveness of sins to all them that with hearty repentance and truefaith turn unto him: have mercy upon you; pardon and deliver you from all yoursins; confirm and strengthen you in all goodness; and bring you to everlastinglife; through Jesus Christ our Lord.All: Amen.The PeaceCelebrant: The Peace of the Lord be always with you.All: And with thy spirit.Please greet one another with a sign of peace.Offertory Interlude (Great Is Thy Faithfulness)Prayer over The Gifts (Page 365)Celebrant: Let us pray.God of wisdom, receive all we offer you this day. Enrich our lives with the gifts ofyour Spirit, that we may follow the way of our Lord Jesus Christ, and serve oneanother in freedom. We ask this in his name .All: Amen.Eucharistic Prayer B (Page 243)Celebrant: The Lord be with you.People: And with thy spirit.Celebrant: Lift up your hearts.People: We lift them up unto the Lord.Celebrant: Let us give thanks unto our Lord God.People: It is meet and right so to do.It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all times, and inall places, give thanks unto thee, O Lord, holy Father, almighty, everlasting God,creator and preserver of all things.Therefore with angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven, welaud and magnify thy glorious name; evermore praising thee and saying:All: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts, heaven and earth are full of thy glory.8

Glory be to thee, O Lord most high. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of theLord: Hosanna in the highest.Please kneel or sit as you are able.Celebrant: All glory be to thee, O Lord our God, who didst make us in thine ownimage; and, of thy tender mercy, didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to takeour nature upon him, and to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption.He made there a full and perfect sacrifice for the whole world; and did institute,and in his holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of that hisprecious death and sacrifice, until his coming again;who, in the same night that he was betrayed, took bread; and when he hadgiven thanks to thee, 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.”Likewise, after supper, he took the cup; and when he had given thanks, he gaveit to them, saying, “Drink this, all of you; for this is my Blood of the newcovenant, which is shed for you, and for many, for the remission of sins. Do this,as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me.”Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, we thy people do celebrate and make,with these thy holy gifts which we now offer unto thee, the memorial thy Sonhath commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed passion andprecious death, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension; and looking forhis coming again with power and great glory.And we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father, to hear us, and, with thyWord and Holy Spirit, to bless and sanctify these gifts of bread and wine, thatthey may be unto us the body and blood of thy dearly-beloved Son Jesus Christ.All: We praise thee, we bless thee, we thank thee, and we pray to thee, Lord ourGod.And we earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness to accept this our sacrifice ofpraise and thanksgiving, whereby we offer and present unto thee, O Lord,ourselves, our souls and bodies. Grant, we beseech thee, that all who partake ofthis holy communion may worthily receive the most precious body and blood ofthy Son Jesus Christ, and be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction; andalso that we and all thy whole Church may be made one body with him, that hemay dwell in us, and we in him; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord; Bywhom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honourand glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end. Amen.9

The Lord’s PrayerCelebrant: And now, as our Saviour Christ hath taught us, we are bold to say,People: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdomcome, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our dailybread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass againstus. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is thekingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.The Breaking of the BreadPeople: We do not presume to come to this thy table, O merciful Lord, Trustingin our own righteousness, But in thy manifold and great mercies. We are notworthy So much as to gather up the crumbs under thy table.

Amen.O Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world: have mercy upon us.O Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world: have mercy upon us.O Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world: grant us thy peace.Celebrant: The Gifts of God for the People of God.All: Thanks be to God.Communion Interlude (As The Deer Panteth)Prayer after Communion (Page 248)Celebrant: Let us pray,All: We most heartily thank thee, almighty and everliving God, that thou dostgraciously feed us, in these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the mostprecious body and blood Of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ; assuring us therebyof thy favour and goodness towards us; and that we are living members of hismystical Body, which is the blessed company of all faithful people; and are alsoheirs through hope of thy everlasting kingdom.
