Amen. Gloria in excelsis Deo Rupert Lang Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth, goodwill to all. Almighty God, we worship you, we give you thanks and praise your Name.

Amen. The Christmas Pageant We invite you to sing along as the children present the glorious story of Jesus’ birth. For each hymn, the organ intro- duction will be your cue. Hymnal 102 “Once in royal David’s city” Irby Kate Burns, soloist Once in royal David’s city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for His bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child. Hymnal 101 “Away in a manger” Cradle Song Away in a manger, no crib for his bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. Hymnal 96 “Angels we have heard on high” Gloria Refrain Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo! Hymnal 99 “Go tell it on the mountain” Traditional Spiritual Refrain Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere; go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born! Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born, and God sent us salvation that blessed Christmas morn. Refrain Hymnal 128 “We three kings” Three Kings of Orient We three kings of Orient are; bearing gifts we traverse afar, field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star. Refrain O star of wonder, star of light, star with royal beauty bright, westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light. Hymnal 100 “Joy to the world” Antioch Joy to the world! the Lord is come: let earth receive her King; let every heart prepare him room, and heaven and nature sing. Sermon The Rev. Ed Bacon A period of silence is kept. The Nicene Creed Mignon Crawford Because the language we use about God matters, the Church has considered and revised it for hundreds of years. In 2018, the 78th General Convention of the Episcopal Church approved the trial use of the original form of the Nicene Creed adopted by the Council of Chalcedon in 451, in place of the creed revised in 589 because scholars believe the earliest version of the creed is the more accurate. The Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches already use the 451 language. At St. Luke’s we are always looking to enrich worship and in that spirit, the clergy has included the 451 Nicene Creed in today’s liturgy. We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. 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 became truly human. 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, 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 Ann Cramer In trust and love, bringing our lives before God, let us pray. God of peace, we pray for St. Luke’s and the Church throughout the world. That we may be salt of the earth and light to the world. We pray for our country, for the city of Atlanta, and for all people throughout the world, lead us into ways of justice and peace. That we may respect one another in freedom and truth. Awaken in us a sense of wonder for the earth and all that is in it. Teach us to care creatively for its resources. God of hope, comfort and restore all who suffer in body, mind or spirit. May they know the power of your healing love. We pray for the hungry, homeless, sick, suffering, lonely, dying and all those in any need or trouble. Make us willing agents of your compassion. Strengthen us as we share in making your people whole. Give to the departed eternal rest. Let light perpetual shine upon them. Concluding Prayer O God, you make us glad by the yearly festival of the birth of your only Son Jesus Christ: Grant that we, who joyfully receive him as our Redeemer, may with sure confidence behold him when he comes to be our Judge; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. The Peace Celebrant: The peace of Christ be always with you. People: And also with you. THE HOLY COMMUNION Offertory Anthem Some children see Him Alfred Burt Adelaide Boedecker Griffin,soprano Some children see Him lily white, Some children see Him almond-eyed, the baby Jesus born this night. The children in each different place Some children see Him lily white, this Savior whom we kneel beside. with tresses soft and fair. Will see the baby Jesus’ face Some children see Him bronzed and brown, some children see Him almond-eyed, The Lord of heav’n to earth come down. like theirs, but bright with heavenly grace. Some children see Him bronzed and brown, with skin of yellow hue. with dark and heavy hair. And filled with holy light. Some children see Him dark as they, O lay aside each earthly thing sweet Mary’s Son to whom we pray. And with thy heart as offering, Some children see him dark as they, come worship now the infant King, and, ah! they love Him, too! ‘Tis love that’s born tonight! —Wilha Hutson and Alfred Burt Eucharistic Prayer B Celebrant: God 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. It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth. Because you gave Jesus Christ, your only Son, to be born for us; who, by the mighty power of the Holy Spirit, was made perfect Man of the flesh of the Virgin Mary his mother; so that we might be delivered from the bondage of sin, and receive power to become your children. 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: Sanctus Rupert Lang Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and God of might. Heav’n and earth are full of your glory, glory to You O Lord most high.

  • Gloria in Excelsis Deo
    Gloria in excelsis Deo For the Bach cantata of that title, see Gloria in excelsis 1 History Deo, BWV 191. "Gloria in excelsis Deo"(Latin for “Glory to God in the It is an example of the psalmi idiotici (“private psalms”, i.e. compositions by individuals in imitation of the bib- lical Psalter) that were popular in the 2nd and 3rd cen- turies. Other surviving examples of this lyric poetry are the Te Deum and the Phos Hilaron.[3] In the 4th century it became part of morning prayers, and is still recited in the Byzantine Rite Orthros service.[1] The Latin translation is traditionally attributed to Saint Hilary of Poitiers (c. 300–368), who may have learned it while in the East (359–360); as such, it is part of a loose tradition of early Latin translations of the scripture known as the Vetus Latina.[3] The Vulgate Latin transla- tion of the Bible was commissioned only in 382.[4] The Latin hymn thus uses the word excelsis to translate the Greek word ὑψίστοις (the highest) in Luke 2:14, not the word altissimis, which Saint Jerome preferred for his translation. However, this word is used near the end: tu solus Altissimus, Jesu Christe (you alone the Most High, Jesus Christ). 2 Present-day Greek text 3 Present-day Latin text Glória in excélsis Deo et in terra pax homínibus bonæ voluntátis.

  • The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ
    The Diocese of Los Angeles The Parish of Saint Patrick The Episcopal Church in Thousand Oaks Nativity, Shane Guinn THE NATIVITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST The Holy Eucharist + December 24, 2020 + 7:00 pm WELCOME TO ST. PATRICK’S AS WE CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF JESUS The days are short at this time of year. The nights are long. Many of us come from houses and yards draped in lights. Inside there may be a Christmas tree bringing a light of promise to our homes. Those same Christmas lights have led us out of the shadow of darkness to worship together this Christmas. Here we shall hear of angels, of shepherds, and of Mary and Joseph wondering about the future of the baby Jesus. They may have seen the star overhead in the night sky. Others, wise men from the East, were on a journey following that light, probably not knowing what it meant. Many of us bring questions about God, about the meaning of life, along with our own empty places or struggles. No one comes with all the answers. It’s just so much better that we come with a sense of wonder and expectation and hope as we sing Silent Night, Holy Night. May the gift of this Christmas Eve find you hearing God’s call to follow Jesus in the new year that will give us the rest of the story. Many of us know that as we tell his story, we are finding the Christ in the story of our own lives. Please come back.

I ask you in the abundance of your goodness to heal my ills. Cleanse my sins, enlighten my blindness, enrich my poverty, and clothe my nakedness. Make me ready to receive the Bread of angels with such reverence and humility, such sorrow and devotion, such purity and faith, such purpose and intention as shall best lead to my salvation. Dear God, grant that I may so receive the Body of your only-begotten Son, that I may be worthy to be incorporated into his Mystical Body and counted among his members. O most loving Father, let me see your beloved Son, whom I now intend to receive, veiled indeed in this life, revealed throughout eternity face to face.
