THE TWENTIETH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

OCTOBER 10, 2021

Welcome!

JOIN US IN WORSHIP

Dear Friends, In October, we focus on the gift of giving. All month, the clergy will be focusing on giving in sermons, weekday podcasts, and teachings.

We are blessed in countless ways, and this is one of the moments in the year when we highlight the opportunity to return thanks to God by investing in our shared mission and ministry.

As you consider your own investment, I hope you will spend time listening and reading the stories from fellow parishioners. Their stories are inspiring, and I want you to be part of our work.

You should receive a packet in the mail this week that details the work we’ve shared this year and the plans we have for next year. I ask you to prayerfully and courageously give, and give generously. We are only limited by our vision and commitment, so be part of the momentum we need to expand our work in exciting ways. Visit the Stewardship page of our website for more information and to make your pledge today.

EVENSONG October 17 5:30 PM Church

Join us as our treble and senior choristers with staff singers offer a beautiful, music-filled service observing the Feast of Saint Luke. A special blessing will be offered for those who work in the medical field. The collection at the service will benefit the chorister scholarship fund.

Holy Eucharist Rite II The Word of God The service begins on page 355 of The Book of Common Prayer.

Prelude Prelude and Fugue in C Major. BWV 547 Standing, sung by All The prelude dances joyfully in 9/8 time – listen as the theme in the manuals climbs up the major scale in stepwise motion while the elephantine pedal notes outline a downward major triad. And the late, mature fugue is famous for being one of Bach’s shortest fugue subjects. Nevertheless, he is able to develop the theme with intense harmonic creativity, closing with a crash of chords and a long pedal point on the lowest note of the pedal board - C.

The Lesson

Amos 5:6-7, 10-15

Seek the LORD and live, or he will break out against the house of Joseph like fire, and it will devour Bethel, with no one to quench it. Ah, you that turn justice to wormwood, and bring righteousness to the ground!

They hate the one who reproves in the gate, and they abhor the one who speaks the truth. Therefore, because you trample on the poor and take from them levies of grain, you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not live in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine. For I know how many are your transgressions, and how great are your sins—you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe, and push aside the needy in the gate. Therefore the prudent will keep silent in such a time; for it is an evil time. Seek good and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts, will be with you, just as you have said. Hate evil and love good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

Lector The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God.

Psalm 90:12-17 (Anglican chant)

John Bertalot

Chanted by the choir

So teach us to number our days * that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.

Return, O LORD; how long will you tarry? * be gracious to your servants.

Satisfy us by your loving-kindness in the morning; * so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.

Make us glad by the measure of the days that you afflicted us * and the years in which we suffered adversity.

Show your servants your works * and your splendor to their children.

May the graciousness of the LORD our God be upon us; * prosper the work of our hands; prosper our handiwork.

The Gospel Gospeler People

Mark 10:17-31 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your father and mother’.”

He said to him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions. Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” And the disciples were perplexed at these words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” They were greatly astounded and said to one another, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.” Peter began to say to him, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.” Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age—houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”

The Sermon

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata

The Nicene Creed

BCP 358

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 They that go down to the sea in ships They that go down to the sea in ships: And occupy their business in great waters; These men see the works of the Lord: And his wonders in the deep.

For at his word the stormy wind ariseth: Which lifteth up the waves there-of.

They are carried up to the heav’n, And down again to the deep:

Herbert Sumsion

Sumsion ranks as one of the few major English cathedral musicians of the previous century who spent several years in the US. Today’s anthem is one of his best known and was finished in 1979. It vividly paints the text of its Psalm verses. The organ’s accompaniment in particular brings to mind an image of the sea and its current. From a dark and brooding opening in the organ to rambunctious choral echoes at “for at his word the stormy wind ariseth” to a plaintive setting of “their soul melteth away,” the music’s depiction of the Psalm text is colorful and engaging.

Anthem continues on the next page

8

Their soul melteth away because of the trouble.

They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man: And are at their wits’ end.

So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble: He deliv’reth them out of their distress.

For he maketh the storm to cease: So that the waves there-of are still.

Then are they glad because they are at rest: And so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.

The Great Thanksgiving: Eucharistic Prayer A Celebrant People Celebrant People Celebrant People

The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

Lift up your hearts.

We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. 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.

Standing or 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.

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

10

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

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 347 “Go forth for God; go to the world in peace”

Sung by All

Litton This fugue, probably written in the middle of Bach’s life, is one of his most beloved and often-played organ fugues.

Its subject is unusually long compared with those from other fugues of this composer and this era in general, but has a lyric quality that makes it irresistible. The simplicity and repetitive nature of the fugue subject make it ideal for the composer to experiment with shifting metric accents.

As you listen, notice that it sounds like there are sometimes two beats per measure, and sometimes three. This change in meter is not notated in the score, but is instead the aural effect created by clever rhythmic manipulations of the composer.

FAQs What does a pledge to Saint Michael and All Angels (SMAA) mean?

A pledge to SMAA means that you have stated your intention to fulfill a defined, annual monetary gift that supports the operational budget of the Church.

What does the operational budget of the church support?

The operational budget supports all ministry needs of the Church, including Pastoral Care, Worship & Liturgy, Formation, Mission & Outreach, and Administration.

The Saint Michael Episcopal School has been previously supported by the Operational budget, yet while still receiving a small amount of support from the Church, they are becoming financially independent.

What percent of the Church’s annual budget is supported by pledges?

Ninety percent (90%) of the Church’s annual budget is supported by pledges.

Thank you for your pledge of support to Saint Michael and All Angels for the 2022 year. Your support empowers the ministry we are able to provide and will enrich the faith lives of many that you may never know.

If you have any questions about your pledge, contact: Caroline Marak Director of Stewardship 214.692.3015 cmarak@saintmichael.org

QUESTIONS?

How can I make a pledge?

To make a pledge, you can fill out a pledge card while at church, go online to saintmichael.org/give, or email Caroline Marak, Director of Stewardship, at cmarak@saintmichael.org.

How do I pay my pledge?

A pledge can be fulfilled at a frequency of your choosing (weekly, monthly, or annually) by check, credit card, cash in requested pledge envelopes, appreciated stock or tax free IRA distribution if 70.5 or older. If you have any payment questions, call Caroline Marak, Director of Stewardship, at 214.692.3015 or Cheryl Kaschak, Accountant, at 214.365.3558.

What happens if the state of my finances changes during the year and I am unable to fulfill my pledge?

If the state of your finances changes during the year and you are unable to fulfill your pledge, know that we are grateful for your intentions of supporting our ministries. Life happens when we least expect it and as your church we are here for you. Please let us know what you are able to fulfill by calling Caroline Marak or Cheryl Kaschak so we can adjust our budget accordingly. All conversations are confidential and pastoral support is available if you need it.

What if I put money in the offering plate – doesn’t that take the place of a pledge?

Putting money in the offering plate is a wonderful spiritual discipline that does not take the place of a pledge. Plate offerings are contributions that we can’t financially plan for in support of our budget. During special Sundays throughout the year, plate offerings support outside Mission & Outreach ministry efforts.

Please contact Caroline Marak, Director of Stewardship, at 214-692-3015 or cmarak@saintmichael.org.
