The Fourth Sunday of Easter April 25, 2021 Mission Sunday Zoom Invitation: Click Here The Fourth Sunday of Easter April 25, 2021 Mission Sunday Welcome to The Light of Christ Anglican Church (TLC). At TLC, we engage with what it means that God’s Kingdom is not only a future promise but also a present reality within our world even now, ushered in by Christ. This reality shapes our worship and life together. It speaks into the way we embrace community in our multi-ethnic and multi-generational context as one big family. Worship is the core that brings all aspects of our identity together. In worship we celebrate the King who loves us and has redeemed us, and who invites us to join in His Redemptive story within the world. A Note to Our Guests If you are visiting TLC for the first time, it is our hope that you would feel very welcome. Here are a few thoughts on how to make that happen. ▪ Everything you need to follow the service is in this bulletin. ▪ Are you new to liturgy? Please do not be bothered. We are not about perfection. We are ordinary people gathered to worship. ▪ If you are comfortable doing so, we encourage you to let an usher know it’s your first time. They can help make your experience smoother. For example, you may find it helpful if you sat next to a member who knows their way around here and can answer quick questions for you. Regular Events Sundays 9:30 am, Worship Service on Zoom & at TLC Mondays 9:30 am, & 6:00 pm Women’s Group on Zoom Tuesdays 7 am, Morning Prayer on Zoom 7 pm, Vestry Meeting (2nd Tuesdays) on Zoom 7 pm, Men’s Bible Study on Zoom Wednesdays 6:30 pm, Youth Group Thursdays 7 am, Morning Prayer on Zoom 5 pm, Women’s Bible Journaling on Zoom Saturdays 9 am, Men’s Bible Study (2nd and 4th Saturdays) on Zoom The Gathering Processional (Please stand) O Worship The King (Lyons) O worship the King all glorious above And gratefully sing His power and His love Our Shield and Defender the Ancient of Days Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise 2 O tell of His might O sing of His grace Whose robe is the light whose canopy space His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form And dark is His path on the wings of the storm The earth with its store of wonders untold Almighty Thy power hath founded of old Established it fast by a changeless decree And round it hath cast like a mantle the sea O measureless might ineffable love While angels delight to worship Thee above The humbler creation though feeble their lays With true adoration shall all sing Thy praise Celebrant: Alleluia! Christ is risen! People: He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Celebrant and People: Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Collect Celebrant: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Celebrant: Let us pray. O God of all the nations of the earth: Remember the multitudes who have been created in your image but have not known the redeeming work of our Savior Jesus Christ; and grant that, by the prayers and labors of your holy Church, they may be 4 brought to know and worship you as you have been revealed in your Son; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. The Word A reading from Acts. (Acts 17:16-23, 32-34) 16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols. 17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there. 18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. And some said, “What does this babbler wish to say?” Others said, “He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities”— because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection. 19 And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting? 20 For you bring some strange things to our ears. We wish to know therefore what these things mean.” 21 Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there would spend their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new. 22 So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. 23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘To the unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked. But others said, “We will hear you again about this.” 33 So Paul went out from their midst. 34 But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them. Reader: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God. A Psalm. (Psalm 99:1-5) 1 The LORD is King; let the people tremble; * he is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth shake. 2 The LORD is great in Zion; * he is high above all peoples. 5 3 Let them confess his Name, which is great and awesome; * he is the Holy One. 4 "O mighty King, lover of justice, you have established equity; * you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob." 5 Proclaim the greatness of the LORD our God and fall down before his footstool; * he is the Holy One. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. The Gospel Anthem (Please stand singing) Wonderful Words of Life Sing them over again to me Beautiful words wonderful words Wonderful words of life Wonderful words of life Let me more of their beauty see Beautiful words wonderful words Wonderful words of life Wonderful words of life Words of life and beauty Teach me faith and duty Gospel Reading (Luke 10:1-9) Deacon: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. People: Glory to you, Lord Christ. 1After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and greet no one on the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you. 7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 9 Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord. People: Praise to you, Lord Christ. 6 Children’s Worship The children proceed to their fellowship following the banner.

  • Revival Devotion
    Lord, Show us Marvelous Things. Amen Five simple words that can revive your heart for 2019. Lord, Show us Marvelous Things. Jeremiah 33:3 Amen Church Family, My prayer for our church is above. Five simple words that encapsulate my heart for our church for 2019. Thank you for continuing this journey together, as we pray for personal and corporate revival. I believe that in my time as your pastor that the need has never been greater for revival in our church and in our homes. In order for revival to come, we must begin an inspection of our lives. This guide is written with that in mind. As you read, allow the Holy Spirit to begin the work of revival in your life. Would you be willing to pray? Jesus, You know every one of my sins. Please show me my spiritual brokenness and allow me to repent in my heart. Help me to confess and turn from my sins. Renew a right spirit within me. Let revival begin in me. I am excited to see what the Lord is going to do in and through our church family. Thanks for the honor of being your pastor. Please join me in praying... “Lord, Send a Great Revival!” Day Read Psalm 85 Jason Brown was the highest paid center in the NFL, playing for the St. Louis Rams. In late 2011, Jason had two children, and a mansion with two fully- stocked bars, yet he and his wife were "dying inside" and were likely headed toward divorce. As a Christian, Jason had to admit that his relationship with Jesus was a ticket to forgiveness and little else—until he released his grip on money and football.

  • May the Lord Bless His People with Peace
    Welcome to Crosspointe Lutheran Church! Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing Public Domain (Lutheran Service Book 686) Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. While the hope of endless glory, Fills my heart with joy and love. Teach me ever to adore Thee, May I still Thy goodness prove. Here I raise my Ebenezer, Hither by Thy help I’ve come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wand’ring from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood. Oh, to grace how great a debtor Daily I’m constrained to be; Let that grace now like a fetter Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee: Prone to wander, Lord I feel it; Prone to leave the God I love. Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above. Call to Worship Reader:We gather in the name of the Lord; the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. All: May the Lord bless His people with peace Reader: You keep us in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You All: Let me hear the word of the Lord for He will speak peace to His people Call to Worship Reader: You shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace All: O Lord, You ordain peace for us by the work You’ve done for us Reader: The Lord says, “I will be with you to give you peace in this place.” All: In Jesus God is with us and He shall be our peace Confession of Sin Reader: Most Merciful God; All: You cried out to Your people by the prophet Isaiah, that if we would pay attention to Your commandments then we would have peace like a river.

  • Verse of the Month
    SEPTEMBER 2019 Volume 18, issue 1 Christian Hills School A Ministry of Christian Hills Church Getting to Know… th by Zoie Balaskas & Jori Lambert, 8 Grade This is Ms. (Connie) Lapinski’s first year here at CHS. She knew she wanted to be a teacher in her junior year of high school. She first taught second grade in a public school. She has one sibling, a brother named Joseph (Joey). She was saved when she was just three years old. When she was watching a video about Jesus, she wanted to know why they killed Him. Her mom explained to her why and she gave her heart to Jesus right there and then. When she is not teaching, she is an umpire, singer/songwriter, and a freelance writer. She recorded an album called “The Road” in 2016 while in Tennessee. The album is on iTunes and Google Play. She also enjoys exercising, playing softball, listening to music, and going shopping. Ms. Lapinski’s favorite part about teaching is having interactions with students, building relationships with them, and watching them reach their full potential. Her favorite subject is reading (ELA) because she loves doing book studies and learning about the characters and plots. Her favorite Bible verse is Galatians 2:20-21 which reads: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness comes by the law, then Christ died in vain.” KJV Ms.
