Come, People of the Risen King Come, people of the Risen King, who delight to bring Him praise; Come all and tune your hearts to sing to the Morning Star of grace. From the shifting shadows of the earth, we will liftour eyes to Him, Where steady arms of mercy reach to gather children in.

Rejoice, Rejoice! Let every tongue rejoice! One heart, one voice; O Church of Christ, rejoice!

Come, those whose joy is morning sun and those weeping through the night Come, those who tell of battles won, and those strugglingin the fight. For His perfect love will never change, and His mercies never cease, But follow us through all our days with the certain hope of peace.

Come, young and old from every land – men and women of the faith; Come, those with full or empty hands – find the riches of His grace. Over all the world, His people sing – shore to shore we hear them call The Truth that cries through every age: “Our God is all in all”!

THE LESSON BCP 126 DEUTERONOMY 4:1-9

A reading from the book of Deuteronomy

4 So now, Israel, give heed to the statutes and ordinances that I am teaching you to observe, so that you may live to enter and occupy the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you. 2 You must neitheradd anything to what I command you nor take away anything from it, but keep the commandments of the Lord your God with which I am charging you. 3 You have seen for yourselves what the Lord did with regard to the Baal of Peor—how the Lord your God destroyed from among you everyone who followed the Baal of Peor, 4 while those of you who held fast to the Lord yourGod are all alive today.

5 See, just as the Lord my God has charged me, I now teach you statutes and ordinances for you to observe in the land that you are about to enter and occupy. 6 You must observe them diligently, for this will show your wisdom and discernment to the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and discerning people!” 7 For what other great nation has a god so near to it as the Lord our God is whenever we call to him? 8 And what other great nation has statutes and ordinances as just as this entire law that I am setting before you today?

5 9 But take care and watch yourselves closely, so as neither to forget the things that your eyes have seen nor to let them slip from your mind all the days of your life; make them known to your children and your children’s children.

Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.

THE PSALM

Whoever walks blamelessly and does justice; Who thinks the truth in his heart and slanders not with his tongue.

Who harms not his fellow man, Nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor, By whom the reprobate is despised, While he honors those who fear the LORD.

Whoever lends not his money at usury, And accepts no bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things shall never be disturbed.

6 GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

Congregation stands as the Gospel is processed and read

Speak, O Lord Speak, O Lord, as we come to you, To receive the food of your holy Word. Take your truth, plant it deep in us; Shape and fashion us in your likeness. That the light of Christ might be seen today In our acts of love and our deeds of faith. Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us all your purposes for Your glory.

THE GOSPEL

Deacon ☩ ☩ ☩ The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

MARK 7:1-23

1 Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes whohad come from Jerusalem gathered around him, 2 they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without washing them. 3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders;4 and they do not eat anything from the market unless they wash it; and there are also many other traditions that they observe, the washing of cups, pots, and bronze kettles.) 5 So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of theelders, but eat with defiled hands?” 6 He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written,

7 ‘This people honors me with their lips,

but their hearts are far from me;

7 in vain do they worship me,

teaching human precepts as doctrines.’

8 You abandon the commandment of God and hold to humantradition.”

9 Then he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejectingthe commandment of God in order to keep your tradition!10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.’ 11 But you say that if anyone tells father or mother, ‘Whatever support you might have had from me is Corban’ (that is, an offering to God)— 12 then you no longer permit doing anything for a father or mother, 13 thus making void the word of God through your tradition that you have handed on. And you do many things like this.”

14 Then he called the crowd again and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand: 15 there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile.”

17 When he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 He said to them, “Then do you also fail to understand? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile, 19 since it enters, not the heart but the stomach, and goes out into the sewer?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, “It is what comes out of a person that defiles. 21 Forit is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, 22 adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”

After the Gospel,

8 Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

Speak, O Lord Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds; Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us. Truths unchanged from the dawn of time That will echo down through eternity. And by grace we'll stand on Your promises, And by faith we'll walk as You walk with us. Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built And the earth is filled with Your glory.

THE SERMON

9 THE NICENE CREED BCP 126-127 The Deacon says

Let us confess our faith in the words of the NiceneCreed:

Deacon and People

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, visible and invisible.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only-begotten 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 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,

10 who proceeds from the Father [and the Son], 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 BCP 128-129 The Deacon or other person appointed says these prayers

Let us pray for the Church and for the world, saying, “hear our prayer.”

For the peace of the whole world, and for the well-beingand unity of the people of God.

Reader Lord, in your mercy: People Hear our prayer.

For Foley, our Archbishop, Steve and Quigg, our Bishops, and Alan, our Bishop Coadjutor Elect, and for all the clergy and people of our Diocese and Congregation.

Reader Lord, in your mercy: People Hear our prayer.

For all those who proclaim the Gospel at home and abroad; and for all who teach and disciple others.

Reader Lord, in your mercy: People Hear our prayer.

11 For our brothers and sisters in Christ who are persecuted for their faith.

Reader Lord, in your mercy: People Hear our prayer.

For our nation, for those in authority, and for all in public service especially Joseph, our President, Roy, our Governor, our judges, congressional representatives, and all those who hold positions of public trust.

Reader Lord, in your mercy: People Hear our prayer.

For all those who are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity [especially______].

Reader Lord, in your mercy: People Hear our prayer.

For all those who have departed this life in the certain hope of the resurrection, [especially______,] in thanksgiving let us pray.

Reader Lord, in your mercy: People Hear our prayer.

Additional prayers may be added. Thanksgivings may also be invited

The Celebrant concludes with this or some other appropriate Collect.

Heavenly Father, grant these our prayers for the sake of Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Advocate, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

12 THE CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION OF SIN BCP 129-130 The Deacon or other person appointed says the following

Let us humbly confess our sins to Almighty God.

Silence

The Deacon and People kneel as able and pray

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone, We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

The Bishop or Priest stands and says

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who in his great mercy has promised forgiveness of sins to all those who sincerely repentand with true faith turn to him, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

13 THE COMFORTABLE WORDS BCP 130-131 The Celebrant may then say one or more of the following sentences, first saying

Hear the Word of God to all who truly turn to him.

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. MATTHEW 11:28

God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. JOHN 3:16T

The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance,that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. 1 TIMOTHY 1:15

If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father,Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 JOHN 2:1-2T

THE PEACE BCP 131 Celebrant The Peace of the Lord be always with you. People And with your spirit.

WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS

Please reference the announcements and relevant QR codes near the back of this bulletin.

14 THE OFFERTORY

During the Offertory a hymn, psalm, or anthem may be sung. The Deacon or Priest prepares the Holy Table for the celebration.

The following may be said.

Celebrant Ascribe unto the Lord the honor due unto his Name; bring offerings and come into his courts. PSALM 96:8

OFFERTORY HYMN

Come Down, O Love Divine Come down, O love divine, seek Thou this soul of mine, And visit it with Thine own ardor glowing. O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear, And kindle it, Thy holy flame bestowing.

O let it freely burn, til earthly passions turn To dust and ashes in its heat consuming; And let Thy glorious light shine ever on my sight, And clothe me round, the while my path illuming.

Let holy charity shape and refashion me: Now, bending, breaking, burning, then restoring. As iron in the fire, when Thou a soul inspire, Then glows it red with love, Thy hand adoring.

And so the yearning strong, with which the soul will long, Shall far out-pass the power of human telling; For none can guess its grace, till love create a place Wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling.

15 THE DOXOLOGY

Praise God from whom all blessings flow Praise Him, all creatures here below Praise Him above, ye heavenly host Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost Amen!

THE SURSUM CORDA BCP 132 The People remain standing. The Celebrant faces them and sings or says

Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And with your spirit. Celebrant Lift up your hearts. People We lift them up to the Lord. Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People It is right to give him thanks and praise.

The Celebrant continues

It is right, our duty and our joy, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

Here a Proper Preface is sung or said.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who on the first day of the week overcame death and the grave, and by his glorious resurrection opened to us the way of everlasting life.

Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever singthis hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

16 THE SANCTUS Celebrant and People

↓ Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord, God of power and might, Heaven and earth are full, O Lord, full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest, hosanna to the Lord. Hosanna in the highest, hosanna to the Lord. ↑ ☩ Blessed is he who comes, who comes in the Name of the Lord. (2x)

THE PRAYER OF CONSECRATION BCP 132-134 The People kneel or stand. The Celebrant continues

Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself; and when we had sinned against you and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent your only Son Jesus Christ into the world for our salvation. By the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary he became flesh and dwelt among us. In obedience to your will, he stretched out his arms upon the Cross and offered himself once for all, that byhis suffering and death we might be saved. By his resurrection he broke the bonds of death, trampling Hell and Satan under his feet. As our great high priest, he ascended to your right hand in glory, that we might come with confidence before the throne of grace.

At the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it, or lay a hand upon it, and here* may break the bread; and at the words concerning the cup, to hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing the wine to be consecrated.

17 On the night that he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks, he broke it,* and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take, eat; this is my Body, which is given for you: Do this in remembrance of me.”

Likewise, after supper, Jesus took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink this, all of you;for this is my Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for you, and for many, for the forgiveness of sins: Whenever you drink it, do thisin remembrance of me.”

Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:

Celebrant and People

Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father,in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, and we offer you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Word and Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son Jesus Christ. Sanctify us also, that we may worthily receive this holy Sacrament, and be made one body with him, that he may dwell in us and we in him. In the fullness of time, put all thingsin subjection under your Christ, and bring us with all your saints into the joy of your heavenly kingdom, where we shall see our Lord face to face.

All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. Amen.

18 THE LORD’S PRAYER BCP 134 The Celebrant then says

And now as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to pray:

Celebrant and People together pray

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

THE FRACTION BCP 135 If the consecrated Bread was not broken earlier, the Celebrant breaks it now.

A period of silence is kept.

Celebrant Alleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. People Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia.

19 THE PRAYER OF HUMBLE ACCESS

Celebrant and People together may say

We do not presume to come to this your table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in your abundant and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under your table; but you are the same Lord whose character is always to have mercy. Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of your dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

THE AGNUS DEI BCP 136 The following is sung or said

Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world; have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world; have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world; grant us your peace.
