T And when he spoke to me, a spirit entered into me and set me on my feet; and I heard him speaking to me. He said to me, Mortal, I am sending you to the people of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me; they and their ancestors

1 have transgressed against me to this very day. The descendants are impudent and stubborn. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, "Thus says the Lord GOD." Whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house), they shall know that there has been a prophet among them. Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. PSALM 123 -tune: Winchester New

1. To you, O Lord, we lift our eyes, To you enthroned in heaven above; As servants wait for those they serve, So we look up and wait God’s love. 2. Have mercy on us now, O Lord; Contempt has been our lot too long. Too long have we been mocked and scorned, Derided by the proud and strong. THE HOLY GOSPEL Mark 6:1-13 Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark. People Glory to you, Lord Christ. esus left that place and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. On the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him Jwere astounded. They said, "Where did this man get all this? What is this wisdom that has been given to him? What deeds of power are being done by his hands! Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him. Then Jesus said to them, "Prophets are not without honor, except in their hometown, and among their own kin, and in their own house." And he could do no deed of power there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them. And he was amazed at their unbelief. Then he went about among the villages teaching. He called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff;

2 no bread, no bag, no money in their belts; but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics. He said to them, "Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place. If any place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you, as you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them." So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent. They cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them. Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ. THE SERMON The Very Reverend Dr. Michael Sniffen, Dean of the Cathedral THE NICENE CREED 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: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from 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, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He 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: THANKSGIVING FOR NATIONAL LIFE Deacon In peace let us pray to the Lord. Intercessor Almighty God, giver of all good things: We thank you for the natural majesty and beauty of this land. They restore us, though we often destroy them. People Heal us.

People Forgive us. Intercessor We thank you for the men and women who have made this country strong. They are models for us, though we often fall short of them. People Inspire us. Intercessor We thank you for the torch of liberty which has been lit in this land. It has drawn people from every nation, though we have often hidden from its light. People Enlighten us. Intercessor We thank you for the faith we have inherited in all its rich variety. It sustains our life, though we have been faithless again and again. People Renew us. The People may add their own petitions. Officiant Help us, O Lord, to finish the good work here begun. Strengthen our efforts to blot out ignorance and prejudice, and to abolish poverty and crime.

OFFERTORY HYMN (sung by ALL, standing) Thaxted

God of all power, Ruler of the Universe, you are worthy of glory and praise. Glory to you for ever and ever. At your command all things came to be: the vast expanse of interstellar space, galaxies, suns, the planets in their courses, and this fragile earth, our island home. By your will they were created and have their being. From the primal elements you brought forth the human race, and blessed us with memory, reason, and skill. You made us the rulers of creation. But we turned against you, and betrayed your trust; and we turned against one another. Have mercy, Lord, for we are sinners in your sight. Again and again, you called us to return. Through prophets and sages you revealed your righteous Law. And in the fullness of time you sent your only Son, born of a woman, to fulfill your Law, to open for us the way of freedom and peace. By his blood, he reconciled us. By his wounds, we are healed. And therefore we praise you, joining with the heavenly chorus, with prophets, apostles, and martyrs, and with all those in every generation who have looked to you in hope, to proclaim with them your glory, in their unending hymn: SANCTUS & BENEDICTUS Robert Powell

And so, Father, we who have been redeemed by him, and made a new people by water and the Spirit, now bring before you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord. On the night he was betrayed he took bread, said the blessing, broke the bread, and gave it to his friends, and said, "Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me." After supper, he took the cup of wine, gave thanks, and said, "Drink this, all of you: 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 this for the remembrance of me." Remembering now his work of redemption, and offering to you this sacrifice of thanksgiving, We celebrate his death and resurrection, as we await the day of his coming. Lord God of our Fathers and Mothers; God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob ;Sarah, Rachel and Rebecca, God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: Open our eyes to see your hand at work in the world about us. Deliver us from the presumption of coming to this Table for solace only, and not for strength; for pardon only, and not for renewal. Let the grace of this Holy Communion make us one body, one spirit in Christ, that we may worthily serve the world in his name. Risen Lord, be known to us in the breaking of the Bread. Accept these prayers and praises, Father, through Jesus Christ our great High Priest, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, your Church gives honor, glory, and worship, from generation to generation. AMEN. THE LORD’S PRAYER THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD Presider Alleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. People Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia.

Send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart; through Christ our Lord. Amen. THE BLESSING Presider The peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and may the blessing of Almighty God be upon you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and remain with you now and forevermore.

The organ music today was written by American , as we celebrate the birth of this country. The Opening Voluntary was written by Calvin Hampton, known as both an organist and . From 1963 through 1983, he was organist and choirmaster at Calvary Episcopal Church in the neighborhood of . His “Fridays at Midnight” organ recital series, which ran from 1974 to 1983, was among the most well-known and popular organ recital series in American history. Before Hampton's death, Erik Routley, an eminent authority on church music, called Hampton "the greatest living composer of hymn tunes."[2] His settings of the Episcopal liturgy are used in many other

10 traditions, and his choral works are innovative and challenging pieces of sacred music. The Closing Voluntary was written by Richard Proulx, one of the most prominent composers of composer of liturgical music in the past decades. He served as a consultant on several important hymnals, including The Hymnal 1982 of the Episcopal Church, the United Methodist Hymnal and the Roman Catholic hymnals Worship II (1975) and Worship III (1986). His setting of the Sanctus in A Community Mass (S 125 in our Hymnal) has been translated into numerous languages and appears throughout the world. Richard was Director of Music at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago from 1980 – 1994, where he established a thriving, innovative choral program that helped point the way for Roman music in the years following Vatican II. (a personal note – I worked with Richard at Holy Name from 1982 – 1992). He was also responsible for the 1989 installation of a monumental Dutch organ in the Cathedral built by the renowned firm of Flentrop Orgelbouw which remains the largest mechanical-action instrument ever imported into the US. The tune of the Offertory Hymn “Thaxted” is taken from The Planets of Gustav Holst and we will now begin to use it regularly.
