All Saints’ Sunday Sunday, November 3, 2019 11 a.m. Holy Eucharist Welcome to Grace Cathedral Welcome to this sacred place where we are reimagining church with courage, joy and wonder. Every year we choose a theme to help us explore new ideas and to listen for God’s calling. In 2019 our theme is the Year of the Body. Our body is the way we meet the world and the world meets us. Although we share much that is in common, our bodies are each unique and particular, and every body is worthy of respect. We believe that God participated in the world through a body. So we will be examining how we care for bodies, how we treat different kinds of bodies and how we are part of the earth’s body. This year we will dance together, eat together and study what it means for Christians to understand the church as the Body of Christ. We invite you to be part of this body, this joyful community, even if your visit is short. How is God inviting you to be more truly alive today? What are our bodies saying to us? May God bless you in this holy place! – The Very Rev. Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean of Grace Cathedral
• If you are new to Grace Cathedral, please introduce yourself and fill out a welcome card so we can be in touch with you. We’re glad you’re here! • Join us for coffee and conversation across the plaza in the Chapter House Library after the 8:30 a.m. service or in the Chapter House Dining Room after the 11 a.m. service. about today’s readings Daniel 7:1-3, 15-18; Psalm 149; Ephesians 1:11-23; Luke 6:20-31 Reading texts can be found at the end of the service leaflet
Most of the major feast days of the Church (Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, etc.) are rooted in things that happened to other people a long time ago. Those events continue to be relevant and life-giving for us today, but, at their core, they are commemorations of things past. But All Saints’ Day is different. All Saints’ Day is about us. Yes, we remember famous saints from ages past, but the whole point of the Communion of Saints is that it extends into the present. Saints aren’t fictional creatures like unicorns or extinct ones like dinosaurs. When we talk about saints, we are talking about us. Not for nothing, All Saints’ Day is one of the traditional baptismal feasts of the Church. Today, our reading from Ephesians comes to life as we mark new Christians with the seal of the Holy Spirit. Today we gather as Christ’s Body and proclaim blessing over each other, just as Jesus does in the Lukan Beatitudes. And today, as in the Book of Daniel, the veil between dream and reality, between heaven and earth feels particularly thin. The boundaries of time, past, present and future soften and blur. As we celebrate the great cloud of witnesses who went before us - apostles and martyrs, prophets and reformers, grandmothers, artists, civil rights leaders, teachers, healers, visionaries and dreamers of all kinds - we can feel their presence with us here today. On All Saints’ Day, heaven and earth kiss each other and we are swept up in God’s holiness, not in some future paradise, but right now.
- The Rev. Kristin Saylor, Director of Formation

The candidates are presented individually by their parents and godparents:
Sponsor I present N. to receive the Sacrament of Baptism.
The presider asks any candidates who can speak for themselves: Do you desire to be baptized? Candidate I do.
After all are presented, the presider asks the whole group of parents and godparents:
Will you be responsible for seeing that the child you present is brought up in the Christian faith and life? Parents and godparents I will, with God’s help. Presider Will you by your prayers and witness help this child to grow into the full stature of Christ? Parents and godparents I will, with God’s help.
Then the presider asks the following questions of any candidates who can speak for themselves, and of the parents and godparents who speak on behalf of the infants and younger children.
Question Do you renounce Satan and all the spiritual forces of wickedness that rebel against God? Answer I renounce them. Do you renounce the evil powers of this world which corrupt and destroy the creatures of God? I renounce them. Do you renounce all sinful desires that draw you from the love of God? I renounce them. Do you turn to Jesus Christ and accept him as your Savior? I do. Do you put your whole trust in his grace and love? I do. Do you promise to follow and obey him as your Lord? I do. The presider then addresses the congregation, saying
Will you who witness these vows do all in your power to support these persons in their life in Christ? People We will.
The Baptismal Covenant Presider Let us join with those who are committing themselves to Christ and renew our own baptismal covenant. Do you believe in God the Father? People I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
4 Presider Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? People I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. Presider Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? People I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers? I will, with God’s help.

Thanksgiving over the Water Presider The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise. Presider We thank you, Almighty God, for the gift of water. Over it the Holy Spirit moved in the beginning of creation. Through it you led the children of Israel out of their bondage in Egypt into the land of promise. In it your Son Jesus received the baptism of John and was anointed by the Holy Spirit as the Messiah, the Christ, to lead us, through his death and resurrection, from the bondage of sin into everlasting life. We thank you, Father, for the water of Baptism. In it we are buried with Christ in his death. By it we share in his resurrection. Through it we are reborn by the Holy Spirit. Therefore in joyful obedience to your Son, we bring into his fellowship those who come to him in faith, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Now sanctify this water, we pray you, by the power of your Holy Spirit, that those who here are cleansed from sin and born again may continue for ever in the risen life of Jesus Christ our Savior. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be all honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen. The Baptism Each candidate is presented by name to an assisting priest or deacon, who then pours water upon the candidate, saying
N., I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The presider places a hand on each person’s head, marking on the forehead the sign of the Cross with Chrism, saying
N., you are sealed by the Holy Spirit in baptism and marked as Christ’s own for ever. Amen. After all have been baptized:
Presider Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we thank you that by water and the Holy Spirit you have bestowed upon these your servants the forgiveness of sin, and have raised them to the new life of grace. Sustain them, O Lord, in your Holy Spirit. Give them an inquiring and discerning heart, the courage to will and to persevere, a spirit to know and to love you, and the gift of joy and wonder in all your works. Amen. Presider Let us welcome the newly baptized. All We receive you into the household of God. Confess the faith of Christ crucified, proclaim his resurrection, and share with us in his eternal priesthood.

And I, John, saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away.

Agnus Dei Sung in Latin. Duruflé Choir Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: grant us peace. Motet Sung in Latin. Ernest Bullock Choir Give us the wings of faith to rise within the veil, and see the Saints above, how great their joys, how bright their glories be. We ask them, whence their victory came: they with one united breath ascribe the conquest to the Lamb, their triumph to His death. They marked the footsteps that He trod, His zeal inspired their breast; and following their incarnate God they reached the promised rest. Isaac Watts
