Service of Worship All Saints Sunday November 3, 2013 Eleven o’clock in the morning Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God “The Mystical Supper,” icon by Simon Ushakov, 1685. Today we celebrate All Saints Day, which is a time for the Church to remember all those saints, known and unknown, who have gone before us and have faithfully walked the Christian path. The mood of this service is one of celebration and joy for all those people who have borne fruit for the kingdom by their service to Christ. Today we welcome new members into the communion of saints through the sacrament of baptism. We will also share in the sacrament of communion, remembering our mysterious connection with Christian saints, past and present. The congregation is asked to remain silent during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation.

Arcus (b.1959) My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden. For, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations. He hath shown strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent empty away. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed forever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be: world without end.
