JOIN US IN WORSHIP

Our new fall series titled Gifted began last Sunday and will continue through October. Gifted will explore the gifts we’ve received from God and the way we are called to use those gifts. In each of our worship services, the sermons will address the big ways in which our gifts are used through our church community, and you will be invited to consider how you can use your unique gifts in ministry here. The next few months will allow us to deeply consider how we allocate our time, talent, and treasure so that we commit to a path that forms us in our own discipleship. Click here to listen to any sermons you miss, and even if you’re out of town or wish to worship at home, remember that we stream our services live every Sunday.

Speaking of gifts, we have an opportunity to use some of our gifts to help our neighbors in need. You’ve certainly seen the horrible news coming from Haiti after the devastating earthquake last weekend. More than 2,000 people have died and countless more are injured and displaced, and we can be part of the help they need now.

Saint Michael has a long connection with the Episcopal Church in Haiti, and through Episcopal Relief and Development, has supported aid there for nearly a

The Collect of the Day

Celebrant The Lord be with you.

People And also with you.

Celebrant Let us pray.

Children ages three through eight years of age are invited to follow the cross to children’s chapel; they will return to the nave following the Peace.

Seated

Grant, O merciful God, that your Church, being gathered together in unity by your Holy Spirit, may show forth your power among all peoples, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Lesson

Joshua 24:1-2a,14-18

Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and summoned the elders, the heads, the judges, and the officers of Israel; and they presented themselves before God. And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Now therefore revere the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness; put away the gods that your ancestors served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Then the people answered, “Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods; for it is the Lord our God who brought us and our ancestors up from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and who did those great signs in our sight. He protected us along all the way that we went, and among all the peoples through whom we passed; and the Lord drove out before us all the peoples, the Amorites who lived in the land. Therefore we also will serve the Lord, for he is our God.”

Lector The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God. Psalm 34:15-22 (Anglican chant) Samuel Sebastian Wesley The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, * and his ears are open to their cry.

The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, * to root out the remembrance of them from the earth.

The righteous cry, and the Lord hears them * and delivers them from all their troubles.

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted * and will save those whose spirits are crushed.

Many are the troubles of the righteous, * but the Lord will deliver him out of them all.

He will keep safe all his bones; * not one of them shall be broken.

Evil shall slay the wicked, * and those who hate the righteous will be punished.

The Lord ransoms the life of his servants, * and none will be punished who trust in him.

John 6:56-69 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Jesus said, “Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever.” He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.

When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?” But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, “Does this offend you? Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But among you there are some who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe, and who was the one that would betray him. And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted by the Father.” Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. So Jesus asked the twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom can

we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”

Seated Standing, spoken by All

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 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.

The Holy Communion Offertory Anthem Greater Love

John Ireland

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. Love is strong as death.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, That we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness.

Ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation; That ye should show forth the praises of him who hath call’d you out of darkness into his marvellous light.

I beseech you brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies, a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto to God, which is your reasonable service.

- Song of Solomon 8, John 15, I Peter 2, I Corinthians 6, Romans 12

Greater Love is one of the most beloved and popular English cathedral anthems from the previous century, and for good reason. Not only does its text outline so much of the Christian life, its music, ranging from soaring melodies to inspiring modulations to heart-felt dissonances, depicts the text in ways that are as gratifying as they are artistically masterful. “Who his own self…” is given to two soloists before the choir enters to crescendo to choral fanfares at “ye are washed, ye are sanctified…” which ultimately climax at “marvellous light.”

The anthem’s most poignant writing is reserved for St. Paul’s charge that concludes the anthem.

Standing or kneeling

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.

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.

Celebrant and People

The Celebrant continues

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.”

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.

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,

Celebrant and People

11

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.

Concluding Hymn Hymn 423 “Immortal, invisible, God only wise”

Sung by All

St. Denio

Taken from Vierne’s second collection of “Pieces de Fantaisie,” this toccata makes extensive use of fully diminished seventh chords to create a sense of uncertainty.

The tension that is present in its opening measures remains until the piece’s final cadence.

This piece is a tour de force for the organ, and represents the great virtuosity that developed among organists in the postRomantic era in Paris.

Hymn permission used by Rite Song, a one-time use reprint license for congregational use.

Louis Vierne

The foregoing text of the worship service contained in this order of worship is taken from the Book of Common Prayer 1979.

The Book of Common Prayer alone is of authority in the worship of the Episcopal Church. This program is provided for convenience of use on this occasion.
