A Public Service of Healing with Anointing and the Holy Eucharist 5:30 P.M A Public Service of Healing with Anointing and the Holy Eucharist 5:30 p.m. Paul Jones, 1941 Wednesday, September 04, 2019 St. John’s Episcopal Church Ocean Springs, Mississippi Welcome to St. John’s. We are very glad you have joined us for worship this evening. As you prepare for worship, please be sensitive to the needs of those around you who may wish to pray quietly. Please refrain from unnecessary conversation and silence any audible electronic devices. A Public Service of Healing with Anointing and the Holy Eucharist begins on page 166 of the Book of Occasional Services. The lessons are taken from the Holy Bible (New Revised Standard Version). The hymns, unless otherwise noted, are from the Hymnal 1982. All are printed here for your convenience. All are invited to dinner in the parish hall immediately following the service. Celebrant Grace and peace be with you, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray. Merciful God, you sent your beloved Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Raise up in this and every land witnesses who, after the example of your servant Paul Jones, will stand firm in proclaiming the Gospel of the Prince of Peace, our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. First Reading Malachi 2:17—3:5 All sit. A Reading from the book of the prophet Malachi. You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, “How have we wearied him?” By saying, “All who do evil are good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them.” Or by asking, “Where is the God of justice?” See, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant in whom you delight—indeed, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts. But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap; he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, until they present offerings to the LORD in righteousness. Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the LORD as in the days of old and as in former years. Then I will draw near to you for judgment; I will be swift to bear witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired workers in their wages, the widow and the orphan, against those who thrust aside the alien, and do not fear me, says the LORD of hosts. Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. Psalm Remain seated. Psalm 133 BCP p. 787 Ecce, quam bonum! 1 Oh, how good and pleasant it is, * when brethren live together in unity! 2 It is like fine oil upon the head * that runs down upon the beard, 3 Upon the beard of Aaron, * and runs down upon the collar of his robe. 4 It is like the dew of Hermon * 2 that falls upon the hills of Zion. 5 For there the LORD has ordained the blessing: * life for evermore. Second Reading 1 Peter 3:8-18 All of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or abuse for abuse; but, on the contrary, repay with a blessing. It is for this that you were called—that you might inherit a blessing. For “Those who desire life and desire to see good days, let them keep their tongues from evil and their lips from speaking deceit; let them turn away from evil and do good; let them seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” Now who will harm you if you are eager to do what is good? But even if you do suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear, and do not be intimidated, but in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and reverence. Keep your conscience clear, so that, when you are maligned, those who abuse you for your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if suffering should be God’s will, than to suffer for doing evil. For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit. Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. 3 How wondrous and great thy works, God of praise! Hymnal 533 Holy Gospel John 8:31-32 All stand. Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. People Glory to you, Lord Christ. Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ. 4 All sit. A period of silent reflection on our readings will follow the gospel reading. The service continues with the Litany of Healing. Litany of Healing The Celebrant introduces the Litany with this bidding Let us name before God those for whom we offer our prayers. All stand and the People audibly name those for whom they are interceding. A Person appointed then leads the Litany, the People responding. God the Father, your will for all people is health and salvation; We praise you and thank you, O Lord. God the Son, you came that we might have life, and might have it more abundantly; We praise you and thank you, O Lord. God the Holy Spirit, you make our bodies the temple of your presence; We praise you and thank you, O Lord. Holy Trinity, one God, in you we live and move and have our being; We praise you and thank you, O Lord. Lord, grant your healing grace to all who are sick, injured, or disabled, that they may be made whole; Hear us, O Lord of life. Grant to all who seek your guidance, and to all who are lonely, anxious, or despondent, a knowledge of your will and an awareness of your presence; Hear us, O Lord of life. Mend broken relationships, and restore those in emotional distress to soundness of mind and serenity of spirit; Hear us, O Lord of life. Bless physicians, nurses, and all others who minister to the suffering, granting them wisdom and skill, sympathy and patience; Hear us, O Lord of life. 5 Grant to the dying peace and a holy death, and uphold by the grace and consolation of your Holy Spirit those who are bereaved; Hear us, O Lord of life. Restore to wholeness whatever is broken by human sin, in our lives, in our nation, and in the world; Hear us, O Lord of life. You are the Lord who does wonders: You have declared your power among the peoples. With you, O Lord, is the well of life: And in your light we see light. Hear us, O Lord of life: Heal us, and make us whole. Let us pray. All kneel. A period of silence follows. The Celebrant concludes the Prayers with the following Collect. Almighty God, giver of life and health: Send your blessing on all who are sick, and upon those who minister to them, that all weakness may be vanquished by the triumph of the risen Christ; who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen. The Deacon says Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. Silence may be kept. Minister and People 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, 6 and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. The Celebrant stands and says Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen. The service continues with the exchange of the Peace. Peace All stand. Celebrant The peace of the Lord be always with you. People And also with you. Then the Ministers and the People may greet one another in the name of the Lord. Holy Communion The Celebrant says Let us with gladness present the offerings and oblations of our life and labor to the Lord.

    THE ANGELUS THE NEWSLETTER OF ST. LUKE’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, LEBANON, PA Volume 10 No. 9 Do Justice. Love Mercy. Walk humbly with God September 2020 Rector’s Corner: Things Will Never Be the Same Dear Friends in Christ, We recently heard these words from Jesus, “and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.” The gospel lesson, of course, was Matthew 16:13-20. Peter had just blurted out, “You are the Messiah, son of the living God.” Jesus responds by acknowledging Peter’s affirma- tion of faith and promises the disciples the keys of the kingdom. In the time of COVID-19, it may feel like we are sometimes being assailed by the forces of Hades. But still, we need to hear Jesus’ promise and to believe it. There are many in Christian churches that are still in denial about the impact of the pan- demic. I have even heard some pastors preach that God would protect the flock from this often-lethal germ. When I hear that, I am put in mind of the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness – and Jesus’ answer: “Thus it is written, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord, your God.” To me, such thinking seeks to manipulate God into a posi- tion of showing his power – to prove us right. This is the heart of the temptation to what is classically called hubris or “pride.” I hope that no one in our community thinks that way. On the other hand, there are those who still believe that the threat is overblown, and that this will all go away soon.

  • REPRESENTING QUAKERS in the UNITED STATES, 1850-1920 Jennifer Connerley a Dissertation Submitted to The
    FRIENDLY AMERICANS: REPRESENTING QUAKERS IN THE UNITED STATES, 1850-1920 Jennifer Connerley A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religious Studies. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by: Laurie F. Maffly-Kipp Thomas A. Tweed Philip F. Gura Timothy Marr Grant Wacker ©2006 Jennifer Connerley ii ABSTRACT JENNIFER CONNERLEY: Friendly Americans: Representing Quakers in the United States, 1850-1920 (Under the direction of Laurie F. Maffly-Kipp) Throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, representations of Quakers—like the Quaker Oats man—were perennially popular, on oatmeal canisters and throughout popular culture. In this dissertation, I examine popular representations of Quakers—in jokes, popular magazines, novels, images, advertising and other media—from 1850 to 1920. I also consider, where possible, Friends’ reactions to these depictions. During this period, popular representations of Friends typically evidence a longing for the devout distinctiveness Friends were imagined to possess—evidenced by their plain dress, plain speech, and well-known restrictions against dishonesty and oath-swearing. The traditional and visible testimonies of Friends were quickly changing during the latter half of the nineteenth century. This evolution seemed to quicken the broader population’s desire to retain and refashion a plain-dressed, old-fashioned representative of a national purity, piety, and unity that never existed. The most striking features of Quakers depicted in nineteenth century literatures and images center around the following categories: plain speech, abolitionism and women’s rights, pacifism and war, plain dress (in the form of the Quaker bonnet), and the (in)famous Quaker Oats man.
