Psalm 22:23-31 New International Version

23 You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel! 24 For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.

25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you I will fulﬁll my vows. 26 The poor will eat and be satisﬁed; those who seek the Lord will praise him— may your hearts live forever!

27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, 28 for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations.

Community Journal Ongoing If you haven't viewed the Community Journal lately, take a moment to check out some of things that have been posted recently. And if you haven't posted and you have the time, create a slide of your own as a way to stay connected with one another during this time.

Volunteer Opportunities Ongoing In the time of COVID, a time of great need and hardship for many people in our cities and communities, it can be really easy to get overwhelmed by the feeling we can't do anything because we must stay isolated and detached from our greater community as much as possible. We wanted to make sure that if you do want to give back, to volunteer, to give time, money or effort, there are still so many organizations that need your help! With everything from cooking dinner for people and food distribution to virtual visits to residents isolated in nursing homes there are so many things you can do! To check out a full list of opportunities in Orange County, visit the United Way COVID-19 Volunteer Needs page.

Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16 New International Version

1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless. 2 Then I will make my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.” 3 Abram fell facedown, and God said to him, 4 “As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. 5 No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you. 7 I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. 15 God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. 16 I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her.”

Hearing God’s Word As we come to God’s Word, may our hearts be fertile ground to receive what God has to say to us this morning.

Mark 8:31-38 New International Version

31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.” 34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

Confession In the hands of grace, confession becomes for us a gift to help realign ourselves with God’s good intentions for us.

A PRAYER OF CONFESSION (in unison) God of mercy, you sent Jesus Christ to seek and save the lost. We confess that we have strayed from you and turned aside from your way. We are misled by pride, for we see ourselves pure when we are stained, and great when we are small. We have failed in love, neglected justice, and ignored your truth. [PAUSE FOR REFLECTION] Have mercy, O God, and forgive our sin. Return us to paths of righteousness; through Jesus Christ, our Savior, Amen.

Book of Common Prayer

ASSURANCE OF PARDON

[If you would like to participate in the response, you can unmute yourself at this time.] This saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we, free from sins, might live for righteousness; by his wounds we have been healed.

Eucharist The term Eucharist literally means “grateful.” In gathering around the bread and the cup, we celebrate together a meal of thanksgiving.

WORDS OF INSTITUTION The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Benediction A benediction is a “good word.” As you go back out into the world, may you receive God’s good word of blessing on you.

May God bless you with a restless discomfort about easy answers, half-truths and superﬁcial relationships, so that you may seek truth boldly and love deep within your heart. May God bless you with holy anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may tirelessly work for justice, freedom, and peace among all people. May God bless you with the gift of tears to shed with those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, or the loss of all that they cherish, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and transform their pain into joy. May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you really can make a difference in this world, so that you are able, with God's grace, to do what others claim cannot be done. And the blessing of God the Supreme Majesty and our Creator, Jesus Christ the Incarnate Word who is our brother and Saviour, and the Holy Spirit, our Advocate and Guide, be with you and remain with you, this day and forevermore. Amen.

A Four-Fold Benedictine Blessing

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
