THE FEAST OF SAINT MICHAEL AND ALL ANGELS
SEPTEMBER 26, 2021
Welcome!
JOIN US IN WORSHIP
Dear Friends, Today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels! This major feast day, often referred to as Michaelmas, is an opportunity to celebrate Michael the Archangel’s triumph over the evil dragon in Revelation. It’s a sensational story that will be part of our celebration. Given that we are celebrating our 75th Anniversary this year, our celebration will be grand. In our traditional services, we will welcome the Rev. Dr. Mark Anschutz, Rector of Saint Michael from 1996-2006, as our guest preacher at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. in the church. In addition to our guest preacher, the 11 a.m. traditional service will be livestreamed and feature incredible music commissioned for our anniversary. Although commissioned music will be premiered throughout the year, Sunday’s service will feature works by six of the eight composers who have contributed original works. In fact, every note of music during the 11 a.m. service—including the hymns—is a premiere of an original work composed for our anniversary celebration. We are blessed to experience exceptional music in both our traditional and contemporary worship services, and this Sunday’s celebration is just the beginning! Our Gifted podcast series has begun! The Saint Michael clergy are back with meditations to help center your days with prayer. This series will explore the many gifts we receive from God and how we are called to use them, and I want you to jump in. As we continue our Gifted series, I want you to make a commitment to use your unique gifts in ministry here at Saint Michael. Click here to make a ministry

The Collect of the Day
Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray. Everlasting God, you have ordained and constituted in a wonderful order the ministries of angels and mortals: Mercifully grant that, as your holy angels always serve and worship you in heaven, so by your appointment they may help and defend us here on earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Seated
The Lesson
Revelation 12:7-12
War broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back, but they were defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, proclaiming, “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Messiah, for the accuser of our comrades has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. But they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they did not cling to life even in the face of death. Rejoice then, you heavens and those who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you with great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!”

John 1:47-51 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. Glory to you, Lord Christ.
When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, “Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!” Nathanael asked him, “Where did you get to know me?” Jesus answered, “I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you.” Nathanael replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” Jesus answered, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.” And he said to him, “Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.” Gospeler People Seated Standing Spoken by All

The Sermon
The Rev. Dr. Mark Anschutz
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
BCP 358
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.

Sidney Campbell
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; And the dragon fought and his angels prevailed not; Neither was there place found anymore in heaven. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven Now is come salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God And the power of his Christ: For the accuser of our brethren is cast down, Which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, And by the word of their testimony; And they loved not their lives unto death.
English composer and organist Sidney Campbell lived 19091974. He held many prominent positions, including as organist of Ely Cathedral, Canterbury Cathedral, and St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. He composed prolifically during his life, leaving well over 1000 extant works.

The Great Thanksgiving: Eucharistic Prayer A Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Lift up your hearts. People We lift them to the Lord. Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People It is right to give him thanks and praise. It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name: Sanctus and Benedictus: Hymn S 128
William Mathias
Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself, and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all. He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.

On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, 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; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, 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.”
At the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it, or lay a hand upon it; and at the words concerning the cup, to hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing wine to be consecrated.
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
Celebrant and People
We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts.
The Celebrant continues
Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom. All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN. And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
