A Service of Word and Prayer November 1, 2020 St ALL SAINTS’ DAY A Service of Word and Prayer November 1, 2020 St. John’s Episcopal Church Powell, WY 1 WELCOME Today’s service is one of praise, prayer and scripture. Current guidelines for worship in the Episcopal church do not allow us to sing, even with masks on. Communion, too, is a challenge during pandemic. But we are here as the people of God, to worship and to encounter the holy in each other. There is nursery care for children 3 and under, and Godly Play for 4 and older. Godly Play goes outside when weather permits, and masks are required for all kids. All Saints Day Today is a “principle feast” day. The Episcopal Church has seven such important days: Easter Day, Ascension Day, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, All Saints' Day, Christmas Day, and the Epiphany. All Saints’ Day is always on November 1 and celebrates all the saints, known and unknown. November 2 is All Soul’s Day, a time to remember and commemorate family and friends who have died. The Christian celebrations of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day stem from a belief that there is a powerful spiritual bond between those in heaven (the "Church triumphant"), and the living (the "Church militant"). We are better together. Stay healthy. Use hand sanitizer, avoid touching your face, eyes, nose, and mouth, and cover coughs and sneezes. Refrain from touching each other. Handshakes? Hugs? No, sorry. Avoid touching the backs of chairs; please leave chairs in place. If you know you have been in contact with someone who may have been exposed, or have traveled outside of the state, we recommend you wait to come to church for 10 days after you have returned. Vulnerable adults (65 and older or with compromised immune systems), are encouraged to stay at home as much as possible. Wear masks when you are in public and maintain physical distancing. You must advocate for your own health. Those who lead during worship are screened before the service. And we keep track of who is here each Sunday for tracing, if needed. 2 Servers Greeter Carra Wetzel Worship Leader Reader Tammy Legerski Preacher Megan Nickles Intercessor Laura Greathouse Sound Oscar Trevino Our Prayer Concerns Anglican Cycle of Prayer: The Church of the Province of West Africa, The Most Revd.

If you are not receiving an invitation with link each week, email Tim at [email protected]. This is a contemplative service that emphasizes spiritual peace. It takes about 25 minutes. Compline, also known as Night Prayer, or the Prayers at the End of the Day, is the final church service (or office) of the day in the Christian tradition of canonical hours, which are prayed at fixed prayer times. The English word is derived from the Latin completorium, as compline is the completion of the working day. 3 News In a time of global pandemic, unprecedented civic unrest, political polarization, where can we find spiritual ground? The answer of course is the most simple: Jesus Christ. Jesus was born in such a time as this and is born for such a time as this. Featuring provocative, imaginative, and engaging short talks from both world- renowned speakers and emerging voices, Christ | Christmas | Covid will provide space to grieve and lament, while reclaiming the prophetic hope of this season. This online event features presentations from Michael Curry, Diana Butler Bass and Thursday, November 19, 10:30am-1:00pm CST Thursday, November 19, 9:30 am-12:00 pm. It’s free.

Engaging the Word of God It has become our practice on Sundays to gather in small groups for bible study. This method requires no special theological skills. It honors the truth that all the baptized have access to the wisdom and guidance of God. The flow of the study should allow for a godly oscillation between what is being heard deep within and what is happening in our engagement with the world. Why Just One Reading? The Episcopal Church generally uses the Revised Common Lectionary, which uses four pieces of scripture each Sunday: the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), a Gospel reading, something from the Epistles (letters from Paul and others) and a Psalm. Though the Revised Common Lectionary has united the church in its reading of scripture and has given much-needed structure, it doesn’t present scripture -- especially the Hebrew Bible -- in a way that helps people to become fluent in the first language of faith. In essence, it is a lot of bible, but not that much story. The Narrative Lectionary is an attempt to take nine months to tell the great sweep of our story, and help Christians learn the language of our ancient past. We are trying it out here at St. John’s. The NL also chooses a short passage from the Gospel to echo the primary reading. It is this passage we use for bible study. 4 Prelude “Let Saints On Earth in Concert Sing,” Skip Cleavenger. Of the Father’s Love. “Noyana/Come, Come, Ye Saints,” BYU Vocal Point. Lead Thou Me On. “For All the Saints,” Concordia Singers. Hymns for All Saints. Opening Acclamation We stand. Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And blessed be God’s kingdom, now and for ever. Amen. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised: there is no end of God’s greatness. One generation shall praise your works to another and shall declare your power. All your works praise you, Lord, and your faithful servants bless you. They make known the glory of your kingdom and speak of your power. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: let everything bless his holy name for ever and ever. 5 Penitence Since we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, looking to Jesus in penitence and faith. Lord, you are gracious and compassionate: Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. You are loving to all and your mercy is over all your creation: Christ, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Your faithful servants bless your name and speak of the glory of your kingdom: Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Almighty God, who forgives all who truly repent, have mercy upon us, pardon and deliver us from all your sins, confirm and strengthen us in all goodness, and keep us in life eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Prayer of the Day The Lord be with you. And also with you. Let us pray. God of holiness, your glory is proclaimed in every age: as we rejoice in the faith of your saints, inspire us to follow their example with boldness and joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 6 Song of Praise Psalm 145:10-21 10 All your works shall give thanks to you, O LORD,* and all your faithful shall bless you. 11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom, * and tell of your power, 12 to make known to all people your mighty deeds, * and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations. * The LORD is faithful in all his words, and gracious in all his deeds. 14 The LORD upholds all who are falling, * and raises up all who are bowed down. 15 The eyes of all look to you, * and you give them their food in due season. 16 You open your hand, * satisfying the desire of every living thing. 17 The LORD is just in all his ways, * and kind in all his doings. 18 The LORD is near to all who call on him, * to all who call on him in truth. 19 He fulfills the desire of all who fear him; * he also hears their cry, and saves them. 20 The LORD watches over all who love him, * but all the wicked he will destroy. 21 My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, * and all flesh will bless his holy name forever and ever. 7 Reading We sit. Lord God, as you spoke long ago through the voices of your prophets, speak to us here, speak to us now, through the power of your Spirit in the words from the story of 1st Kings. After the reading Word of God, Word of life. Thanks be to God. Sermon Affirmation Do you believe and trust in God the Creator, source of all being and life, the one for whom we exist? We believe and trust in the Creator. Do you believe and trust in God the Child, who took our human nature, died for us and rose again? We believe and trust in the Child.

  • Glocal Religion and Feeling at Home: Ethnography of Artistry in Finnish Orthodox Liturgy
    religions Article Glocal Religion and Feeling at Home: Ethnography of Artistry in Finnish Orthodox Liturgy Tatiana Tiaynen-Qadir Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Turku, Turku 20014, Finland; tatiana.tiaynen@ttaq.fi Academic Editors: Victor Roudometof and Peter Iver Kaufman Received: 19 December 2016; Accepted: 9 February 2017; Published: 13 February 2017 Abstract: This paper adapts a glocalization framework in a transnational, anthropological exploration of liturgy in the Orthodox Church of Finland (OCF). It draws on long-term ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with participants of liturgy from Finnish, Russian, and Greek cultural and linguistic backgrounds. The main argument of the paper is that generic processes of nationalization and transnationalization are not mutually exclusive in practitioners’ experiences of liturgy in OCF, but rather generate a glocal space that incorporates Finnish, Russian, Karelian, and Byzantine elements. Individuals artistically engage with glocal liturgy on sensorial, cognitive, social, and semantic levels. What is important for the participants is a therapeutic sense that comes from a feeling of ‘being at home’, metaphorically, spiritually, and literally. People’s ongoing, creative work constitutes Orthodoxy as their national and transnational home. Keywords: glocal religion; Orthodox Christianity; glocalization; transnational anthropology; artistry; liturgy; home; therapeutic 1. Introduction Most contemporary Orthodox churches across the world are divided into national or diasporic churches; the latter of which is often organized alongside ethno-national and linguistic lines. National churches include, for example, those of Greece and Cyprus, where histories of entanglement between Orthodoxy and nationalization date back to the 19th century. In Russia, Orthodox Christianity emerged as a signifier of individual and collective national identity after the Soviet collapse [1].

  • The Liturgical Movement and Reformed Worship 13
    The Liturgical Movement and Reformed Worship 13 The Liturgical Movement and Reformed Worship COMING across a certain liturgical monstrosity, a Scottish Churchman asked : " What Irishman perpetrated this ? " Greatly daring therefore, the writer, though Irish, because the Irishman turned out to be an American, confines his remarks in this paper to the Scottish Eucharistic Rite, as limitations of space prevent discussion of other Reformed movements on the Continent, in England, Ireland, America, and elsewhere. The aim of the Reformers concerning the Eucharistic Rite was threefold : (i) Reform of the rite. The earliest Reformed rites were based on the Hagenau Missal, and their lineage through Schwarz, Bucer, Calvin, and Knox is traced by Hubert, Smend, Albertz, and W. D. Maxwell. (ii) That the worshippers should be active participants in the rite. This was achieved principally by the use of the vernacular and the introduction of congregational singing. (iii) Weekly communion. This ideal failed because of medieval legacy and the interference of civil authority, so that quarterly communion became the general practice. Public worship, however, when there was no celebration, was based on the eucharistic norm. The second half of the seventeenth century, and the eighteenth century, proved to be a period of decline and poverty in worship, and liturgical renewal in Scotland only began in the nineteenth century. This falls into four periods. (a) Prior to 1865, when it was principally the work of individuals. (b) After 1865, when the Church Service Society was founded and the principal leaders were G. W. Sprott and Thomas Leishman, both of whom knew their history.

  • Musical Assemblies: How Early Christian Music Functioned As A
    Musical Assemblies: How Early Christian music functioned as a Rhetorical Topos, a Mechanism of Recruitment, and a Fundamental Marker of an Emerging Christian Identity by Jade Brooklyn Weimer A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto © Copyright by Jade Brooklyn Weimer 2016 Musical Assemblies: How Early Christian music functioned as a Rhetorical Topos, a Mechanism of Recruitment, and a Fundamental Marker of an Emerging Christian Identity Jade Brooklyn Weimer Doctor of Philosophy Centre for the Study of Religion University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This dissertation examines the various ways in which early Christ-followers incorporated music into their religious discourse and ritual practice. Scholars have primarily focused on two particular areas of inquiry: the cultural and religious 'origins' of early Christian music and the history of music within the context of church liturgy. Music, however, played a much greater role within Christian assemblies than simply existing as part of religious liturgy. I contend that music helped shape an emerging Christian identity within early Christ-following assemblies and collective singing became a vital component in defining in-group and out-group boundaries. Early Christian writings also demonstrate that hymn compositions were used as pedagogical tools, rhetorical devices, and mechanisms of recruitment to attract new members. I begin by examining Greco-Roman and Jewish primary source materials that reference or describe the nature of musical practice in antiquity in order to contextualize my study of musical references in early Christian texts. The next section utilizes recent developments in cognitive science to illustrate the importance of collective singing in establishing a group identity, creating cohesive social bonds, and evoking particular emotional responses.

  • Liturgy Without Prayerbook
    LITURGY WITHOUT PRAYERBOOK David J. A. Clines A liturgy is a set form determining the content, order, and phraseology of a service of worship. In comparison with the printed liturgies of other Christian churches, Brethren forms of service would seem at first sight to be entirely non-liturgical; but closer acquaintance with Brethren practice reveals that the content, order, and (to a certain extent) phraseology is in fact determined, by custom reinforced by theological explanation. One may thus speak of Brethren unwritten 'liturgy',1 or rather, 'liturgies', for there are minor regional differences and some churches which do not conform at all. There are of course separate liturgies for the various services of the church, but attention will be concentrated here on the 'morning meeting'. It will be suggested in this article that Brethren liturgy, partly because it is unwritten, and partly because of peculiarly Brethren theological concepts, shares in large measure the weaknesses of the liturgical form while lacking many of its strengths. I. Content A distinguishing feature of a new member of a Brethren assembly is his ignorance of what is and what is not suitable at a 'morning meeting'. It is not always possible to discover precisely what is suitable, both because practice varies somewhat from assembly to assembly, and because the content of this service is thought by many to be a matter of 'spiritual apprehension' and so not amenable to rational enquiry. But the ruling principle is that it is a meeting for worship, understood as adoration. In worship we are concerned not with others, ourselves, or our blessings, but with the Lord alone.

  • Country Advice Albania Albania – ALB36773 – Greece – Orthodox Christian Church – Baptisms – Albania – Church Services – Tirana – Trikala 9 July 2010
    Country Advice Albania Albania – ALB36773 – Greece – Orthodox Christian Church – Baptisms – Albania – Church services – Tirana – Trikala 9 July 2010 1. Please search for information on Greece in relation to whether a person cannot be baptised Orthodox if they are illegally in Greece. Information regarding whether a person cannot be baptised Orthodox if they are illegally in Greece was not located in a search of the sources consulted. The Greek constitution establishes the Eastern Orthodox Church of Christ (Greek Orthodox Church) as the prevailing religion in Greece and it was estimated that 97 percent of the population identified itself as Greek Orthodox. The Greek Orthodox Church exercises significant influence and “[m]any citizens assumed that Greek ethnicity was tied to Orthodox Christianity. Some non-Orthodox citizens complained of being treated with suspicion or told that they were not truly Greek when they revealed their religious affiliation.”1 It is reported that most of Greece‟s native born population are baptised into the Orthodox Church.2 A 2004 report indicates that the “Orthodox Church takes on the self anointed role as keeper of the national identity”. The report refers to the comments of a priest in Athens who said that “in Greece, we regard Greeks as the ones who are baptised” and people who were not baptised, immigrants, were not seen as Greek.3 2. Please provide information generally about the Orthodox Church in Albania including, if possible, details about the order of the church service. The Orthodox Autocephalous Church of Albania is one of four traditional religious groups in Albania. The majority of Albanians do not actively practice a faith,4 but it is estimated that 20 to 25 percent of the Albanian population are in communities that are traditionally Albanian Orthodox.

  • People, Look East! Celebration of Mass Ad Orientem at Good Shepherd Advent and Christmas 2020
    PEOPLE, LOOK EAST! CELEBRATION OF MASS AD ORIENTEM AT GOOD SHEPHERD ADVENT AND CHRISTMAS 2020 INTRODUCTION Angels announce with shouts of mirth Him who brings new life to earth. Set every peak and valley humming With the word, the Lord is coming. People, look East and sing today – Love, the Lord, is on the way.1 1. In the normal course of events, outside of pandemic restrictions on our Masses, we would put these words on our lips at least once during the Season of Advent. People, look East, and sing today – Love, the Guest, the Rose, the Bird, the Star, the Lord, is on the way. Why look East for the coming of the Lord? 2. Part of that answer may come readily. “Because Bethlehem is to the East!” During this Season of Advent, we prepare to welcome the Christ Child, who was born in that direction. Just as those magi from the East set their sights West toward Bethlehem to find him, we in the West set our sights East for the same reason. We look East so that we may encounter the Lord who comes to us in gentleness, in mercy, and in love. 3. There is, however, another reason to look East during Advent – a reason why people both West and East of Bethlehem look in that direction. For we also enter into this Season of Advent preparing to welcome Christ when he comes again2 “in glory to judge the living and the dead.”3 Love, the Lord, tells us that when he comes again, he will come from the East.
