July 18, 2021, 5:00 pm Eighth Sunday after Pentecost Seek and Be Found: An Instructional Eucharist Welcome Welcome to St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral; we are so glad you are here. St. Paul’s is a safe and welcoming place for all people. If you are new to St. Paul’s we encourage you to get connected with our weekly email newsletter. You can sign up online at stpaulsokc.org.

If you are fully vaccinated, wearing a mask is not re- quired.

The Lord is my shepherd; * The Gospel is read by a , I shall not be in want. or if a Deacon is not present, by a . He makes me lie down in green pastures * and leads me beside still waters. 3 He revives my soul * and guides me along right pathways for his Name’s sake.

At the beginning of Advent, all the green hangings and vestments are Lesson Ephesians 2:11-22 changed to purple. [You may be seated] A Reading from the Epistle to the Ephesians. Remember that at one time you Gentiles by birth, called “the uncir- cumcision” by those who are called “the circumcision” —a physical circumcision made in the flesh by human hands— remember that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us. He has abol- ished the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace, and might reconcile both groups to God in one body through the cross, thus putting to death that hostility through it. So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built to- gether spiritually into a dwelling place for God. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. [Please stand as you are able]

The creed is a eternally begotten of the Father, collective statement of faith and not God from God, Light from Light, an individual mandate. 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.

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 for- giveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.” Therefore, according to his command, O Father, We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory; 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 the Blessed Virgin

HYMN NOTES Savior, like a shepherd lead us - Hymnal 708 In the 19th century hymnal editors often failed to identify authors. Dorothy Trupp, in the first edition of Hymns for the Young, 1836, left all hymns unsigned but this text is likely to be by her. The words are based on the idea of Jesus as Shepherd plus a few ideas from Psalm 23.
