THESEEN I Lord

Christ Church Cathedral The Diocese of Southern Ohio Christian Worship is…

• Not primarily about ideas or feelings—it is Creation itself (including and especially human beings) made holy by its Creator.

• Not ‘just’ a symbol—it is real participation in the Kingdom of God right here and right now.

• Not a private devotion or a personal religious experience—it is a community activity.

• Not something performed by the ordained for the benefit of an “audience,” (there is no audience in worship)—it is a diversity of persons (lay persons, , , and each with their own par- ticular and appropriate gifts and responsibilities), all actively participating in one, shared act of worship.

• Not experts illustrating, educating, explaining, entertaining, or inspiring non-experts—it is the par- ticipation of the whole assembly in the inner life of God by virtue of our Baptism and on behalf of all of Creation.

The Historic Shape of the Eucharistic Liturgy Liturgy, It has been celebrated with elaborate ritual, ceremony, and music, but it has also been celebrated in the beauty from the “ liturgia”, of admirable simplicity. It has been celebrated with great formality in glorious buildings, but it has also been meaning public service, is a rite or body of rites celebrated in haste on battlefields and informally in parking lots with coolers serving as . But beneath the intended for worship. surface of this great variety, there is a common shape to the celebration of the Eucharist:

We Gather in God’s Name: From wherever we come, our gathering together is the beginning of the procession that culminates when the ministers of the assembly enter the worship space and the presider invites the prayer and song of the congregation.

We Proclaim and Respond to the Word of God: We read scripture, not so much that we can be instructed (we can read and teach and learn from scripture in many settings), but so that the story is proclaimed aloud in and for the sake of the world. And then we respond to that proclamation, with the Word broken open and shared (), set in the context of God’s identity and salvation history (creed), and by offering prayer, interceding for the Church and the world as the Body of the High himself, Jesus Christ (the prayers of the people).

We Offer Our Lives to God: We bring bread, wine, money, and other symbols of ourselves, our souls, bodies, and lives, to the of God to be offered to God.

We Give Thanks: We give thanks for all the gifts that God has given to us and to Creation, even for our very lives, and in giving thanks we recognize and name them AS gifts. And in this Great Thanksgiving (Eucharist), God receives these gifts and transforms them into means of grace for us and for the life of the world.

We Share the Holy Gifts: We break open and pour out the gifts offered to God, now transformed, and we share them with each other, our own lives and our life together made new by God’s grace.

We Are Sent into the World: We are commanded to go out into the world bearing the Word of God in our very bodies, and in that way the point of the Eucharist is fulfilled, in that the transformed gifts God has given to us are made available through us for the life of the world.

Christ Church offers its sincerest thanks to the guilds, organizations, staff, musicians, and multitude of volunteers who weekly give of their time and talents to make worship meaningful. EASTER DAY The Sunday of the Resurrection sunday, march 27, 2015 • ten am

Music before the Service Renaissance Dances (brass) Tylman Susato (1500–1561) Saraband for the Morning of Easter (organ) Herbert Howells (1892–1983) Sonata in B flat Major (brass & organ) Giuseppe Tartini (1692–1770)

The people stand The service begins Hymn at the Entrance • This day of days with joy we claim with a procession. This tradition dates back to the early church (pre-325 ce), when liturgical books and sacred vessels were kept in special storage rooms for safe keep- ing and the procession was necessary to bring these objects into the church when needed.

The procession par- ty will approach the Altar and reverence it with a bow or a kiss. The Altar is a symbol of Christ at the heart of the assembly and so deserves this special gesture.

t This hymn was written for Christ Church Cathedral by Breidenthal and Stephan Casurel- la. The setting for congregation, choir, organ, brass, and tim- pani, will be published by MorningStar Mu- sic.

The book of Isaiah But be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating; for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy, and its people describes how God will make Jerusalem the as a delight. I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; no more shall the sound of weeping be heard center of God’s rule in it, or the cry of distress. No more shall there be in it an infant that lives but a few days, or an old person through a messiah, who does not live out a lifetime; for one who dies at a hundred years will be considered a youth, and one who who will triumph over falls short of a hundred will be considered accursed. They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant Jerusalem’s oppressor. vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat; for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labor in vain, or bear children for calamity; for they shall be offspring blessed by the Lord—and Isaiah speaks out against corrupt lead- their descendants as well.
