THE EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

Welcome!

Dear Friends,

Re

Th

We are three weeks into our fall Discipleship Series, and I have heard from so many Re of you about how this series , v. D a rat i r. C G has made an impact. Our daily hristopher D. podcasts help us pray together, the discipleship journals help us consider deep issues of faith, and the sermon series unites us in a shared purpose. We have the opportunity to help build God’s kingdom on earth each day, and I hope you’re working with us.

Today, we take our discipleship work to the next level as we launch our 2021 Stewardship Campaign: Building the Kingdom. I encourage you to read through our stewardship brochure to see how our giving has impacted lives this year and how we hope to grow that impact next year.

As I look ahead to 2021, now is the time to make a true commitment to building God’s kingdom in new ways. This year, like every year, we ask that you make a commitment to give financially in support of our shared mission and ministry. The work we do through Saint Michael touches our lives and the lives of our neighbors, and we want that work to grow next year.

Together, we can give in ways that will continue to transform our community.

We are continuing to shift into a new reality, one that will have new rules and new challenges, but a reality in which we can thrive if we work together. The story of Christ is the most compelling story in human history, and by investing in our church, we will continue to spread that Good News in our world.

This prelude sets Luther’s hymn on the Ten Commandments: These are the holy ten commands / which came to us from God’s own hands, /

by Moses, who obeyed His will, /on the top of Sinai’s hill. / Kyrie eleison! The tenor voice declaims the hymntune, then the alto enters, following it strictly. A flowing accompaniment portrays the joy that comes from obedience.

The Lesson

Exodus 20:1-4, 7-9, 12-20

Then God spoke all these words: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before me.

You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.

Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. For six days you shall labour and do all your work.

Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

You shall not murder.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

When all the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking, they were afraid and trembled and stood at a distance, and said to Moses, “You speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, or we will die.” Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid; for God has come only to test you and to put the fear of him upon you so that you do not sin.”

Psalm 19 (Anglican chant)

Benjamin Hutto & William Crotch

The heavens declare the glory of God, * and the firmament shows his handiwork.

One day tells its tale to another, * and one night imparts knowledge to another.

Although they have no words or language, * and their voices are not heard, Their sound has gone out into all lands, * and their message to the ends of the world.

In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; * it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber; it rejoices

like a champion to run its course.

It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens and runs about to the end of it again; * nothing is hidden from its burning heat.

The law of the Lord is perfect and revives the soul; * the testimony of the Lord is sure and gives wisdom to the innocent.

The statutes of the Lord are just and rejoice the heart; * the commandment of the Lord is clear and gives light to the eyes.

The fear of the Lord is clean and endures for ever; * the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, more than much fine gold, * sweeter far than honey, than honey in the comb.

By them also is your servant enlightened, * and in keeping them there is great reward.

Who can tell how often he offends? * cleanse me from my secret faults.

Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins; let them not get dominion over me; * then shall I be whole and sound, and innocent of a great offense.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be accept able in your sight, * O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.

The Gospel Gospeler People

Matthew 21:33-46 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Jesus said, “Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenants and went to another country.

When the harvest time had come, he sent his slaves to the tenants to collect his produce. But the tenants seized his slaves and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. Again he sent other slaves, more than the first; and they treated them in the same way. Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and get his inheritance.” So they seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and lease the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the produce at the harvest time.”

Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures: ‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is amazing in our eyes’? Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that produces the fruits of the kingdom. The one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”

When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they realized that he was speaking about them. They wanted to arrest him, but they feared the crowds, because they regarded him as a prophet.

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The Sermon The Nicene Creed We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

The Reverend Dr. Christopher D. Girata BCP 358

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 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.

Prayers of the People Form VI In peace, we pray to you, Lord God. For all people in their daily life and work; For our families, friends, and neighbors, and for those who are alone.

For this community, the nation, and the world; For all who work for justice, freedom, and peace.

For the just and proper use of your creation; For the victims of hunger, fear, injustice, and oppression.

For all who are in danger, sorrow, or any kind of trouble; For those who minister to the sick, the friendless, and the needy.

Concluding Collect Celebrant

Kneeling

Almighty and eternal God, ruler of all things in heaven and earth: Mercifully accept the prayers of your people, and strengthen us to do your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Confession of Sin 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, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

Absolution 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.

Presentation Hymn Hymn 380, v. 3 “Praise God, from whom all blessings flow”

Sir Edward Cuthbert Bairstow offers a beautiful setting of this text from the Song of Solomon by using the key of e minor and lush vocal harmonies in the lower ranges of all voices.

Spare harmonies open in soprano, alto, and bass usher in a haunting melody in the tenor voice.

Old 100th

By giving the opening melody to an inner voice, Bairstow creates a musical depiction of the shadow of God. Listen for the musical climax at “his banner over me was love.”

Hymn S 130 Sanctus and Benedictus

Franz Schubert

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.

Kneeling

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.

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.

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.

Celebrant and People

The Celebrant continues

10

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.

Celebrant The Gifts of God for the People of God. Take them in

remembrance that Christ died for you, and feed on him in your

hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.

The Post Communion Prayer Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood. Send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

STEWARDSHIP 2021

Opportunities abound for the 2021 year and we want YOU to be a part of Building God’s Kingdom through Saint Michael with us. Make your pledge today!

From The Spirit One of the good things that has come out of 2020 is an opportunity to re-evaluate what is important in life, how we spend our time and money, and what really matters. Perhaps you, like us, have been more focused on the eternal rather than the temporal. “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God” is not just a Scripture verse, but has become a way of thinking for us.

We find ourselves evaluating how we spend our time and money against the question of “Does this build God’s Kingdom?” We believe that the best way to build the Kingdom is investing in getting people there, by giving to Saint Michael where we grow Christian disciples and serve our larger community.

Saint Michael has been an anchor for us in these tumultuous times. Over the last several months, we have been more engaged in the life of Saint Michael than ever. Online worship services, Bible studies, discipleship, and fellowship have provided stability and meaning in a world that seems out of control. We have found that giving is a spiritual discipline that recognizes all we have comes from God and shows our gratitude to Him for our blessings. How can we help but give generously when He has given so generously to us?

If you have not yet engaged in a thoughtful review of what God has done and is doing in your lives, especially through Saint Michael, we invite you to join us on this journey into discipleship and experience all that God has to offer us!
