The Eleventh Sunday a Er Pentecost s The Eleventh Sunday aer Pentecost August 8, 2021 11 am Welcome to St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church The Tree of Life is Growing Here We are called to offer sanctuary in the city, to grow in God’s love, to seek the renewal of the world Welcome to this service of Holy Communion. We rejoice in this opportunity to gather together for worship and fellowship. If you are with us in the church, we are delighted you are here. At this service, masks are optional for those who are fully vaccinated. As we move to this new phase, we continue to hold as one of our highest values a climate of mutual trust and respect. There are many reasons why some may choose to remain masked, regardless of vaccination status. Welcoming one another in good faith, as God has made us welcome, is one of the hallmarks of our tradition and one of the practices that will lead us into the future. If you are joining us virtually, know that we are grateful for your presence and continue to seek ways to make this an inclusive experience for you. When the time comes for communion, we invite you to trust, with us, that for generations the church has assured us that when we are absent from the table, the sincere desire to receive communion conveys all the benets of the sacrament itself. A prayer for you to say at the time of communion is included in the leaet. As we gather for worship together in our dierent locations, we are making dierent choices of how to participate. Please know that, just as you are welcome to “come as you are” in the physical church, so we hope you will participate here “as you will.” As you are comfortable, stand, sit, kneel, sing, speak, and, if you have capacity, join in the chat. Children are always welcome to participate fully in worship, as they are able and interested. If you are joining virtually, we invite you to visit our website: http://www.standrewdenver.org/children-families/godly-play for resources to enhance your child’s participation. For those in the church, you will nd busy boards, service guides, and books in a basket in the Narthex to help your child participate with you in worship.

Amen. The People sit. The First Reading 1 Kings 19:4-8 Elijah went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a solitary broom tree. He asked that he might die: “It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my ancestors.” Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said to him, “Get up and eat.” He looked, and there at his head was a cake baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again. The angel of the Lord came a second time, touched him, and said, “Get up and eat, otherwise the journey will be too much for you.” He got up, and ate and drank; then he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God.

The Holy Gospel John 6:35,41-51 V The Holy Gospel of Our Savior Jesus Christ ☩ according to John. R Glory to you, Lord Christ. Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” Then the Jews began to complain about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” They were saying, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” Jesus answered them, “Do not complain among yourselves. No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my esh.” V The Gospel of Our Savior. R Praise to you, Lord Christ. At the invitation of the preacher, the People sit The Sermon The People stand and sing The Nicene Creed harmonization: Jeffrey Rickard 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 of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucied under Pontius Pilate; he suered 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 gloried; 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.

  • SAINT LUKE the EVANGELIST GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH September 21, 2014
    SAINT LUKE THE EVANGELIST GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH september 21, 2014 the sunday after the exaltation of the precious Cross Saint Quadratus, Apostle of the Seventy preached the Word of God at Athens and at Magnesia (eastern peninsula of Thessaly), and was Bishop of Athens. His biographer called him “a morn- ing star” among the clouds of paganism. He converted many pagans to the true faith in Christ the Savior, and his preaching aroused the hatred of the pagans. Once, an angry mob fell upon the saint to pelt him with stones. Preserved by God, St Quadratus remained alive, and they threw him into prison, where he died of starvation. His holy body was buried in Magnesia. In the year 126, St Quadratus wrote an Apologia in defence of Christianity. Presented to the emperor Hadrian (117-138), the Apologia affected the persecution of Christians, since the em- peror issued a decree saying that no one should be convicted without just cause. This Apologia was known to the historian Eusebius in the fourth century. At the present time, only part of this Apologia survives, quoted by Eusebius: “The deeds of our Savior were always witnessed, because they were true. His healings and raising people from the dead were visible not only when they were healed and raised, but always. They lived not only during the existence of the Savior upon the earth, but they also remained alive long after His departure. Some, indeed, have survived to our own time.” In July of 1274, the Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII accepted a union with the Roman Church at Lyons, France.

  • The Church and the Ministry in the Early Centuries
    The Church and the Ministry in the Early Centuries Author(s): Lindsay, Thomas Martin (1843-1914) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: Scholars can only reconstruct what the lives of the first Christians were like with the limited evidence available to them. In 1902, this Scottish theologian set out to do just that, and published a series of lectures he had given on the sub- ject. Drawing from biblical and other ancient texts, Lindsay paints a picture of first century churches, their leaders, and their missionaries. In particular, he traces the development of the ministry itself and how it evolved into the priesthood of the Catholic Church. As well as investigating how Roman religious customs influenced the early Church's hierarchy, he briefly sketches some of the first Christian controversies concerning the roles of church leaders.

After the Ascension, St. Quadratus preached the Word of God at Athens and at Magnesia (eastern peninsula of Thessaly), and eventually became the Bishop of Athens.

  • BQOK REVIEWS RELIGIONS Or the FAR EAST
    BQOK REVIEWS RELIGIONS or THE FAR EAST. By George C. Ring, SJ. Milwaukee: Bruce Publishing Co., 1950. Pp. 350. $6.00. It is generally conceded that the average American's knowledge of the short course of events which comprise the history of his own nation, except for a few famous names and dates which have been dinned into his conscious­ ness, is woefully vague and leaves much to be desired. And when it comes to the cultural, religious, or historical background of nations more physically removed in space, especially of those which have been traditionally con­ sidered primitive, occult, and inferior, such as the nations of the Orient, a state of ignorance is approached which may well be called abysmal. Here again, a few key names such as Confucius, Buddha, and Mohammed may be known, or terms such as Nirvana or Zen may be recalled, but even in cul­ tured and educated circles it would be difficult to find anyone able to develop these themes with accuracy, intelligence, or understanding. Father Ring has done just that. At a time when oriental nations are intruding themselves upon our international consciousness, he has brought forth a brief but accurate and highly readable account of their corporate vicissitudes with divinity, and the external manifestations of this in their national existence. The word "brief" is used with regard to this book only in a relative sense; it is brief in relation to the vastness of its subject matter. And on this ac­ count it must be said that second only to Father Ring's precise, scholarly research is to be placed his power to endow necessary catalogues of persons, places, and dates with vivid and sustained interest.
