THE TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

OCTOBER 24, 2021

Welcome!

JOIN US IN WORSHIP

Dear Friends, Today we hear the story of Bartimaeus, a blind man begging on the side of the street. After Bartimaeus calls out to Jesus, Jesus asks him what he wants, and he replies, “let me see again.” Jesus tells him to go on his way because his faith has healed him. This miracle is not only remarkable because of Bartimaeus’s boldness, but also because of the crowd’s important pivot.

Although the miraculous healing most often gets top billing in this story, I find it fascinating to consider the shift in the crowd. At first, the crowd tries to silence Bartimaeus when he calls to Jesus. Imagine the gall of a pitiful, blind beggar thinking that Jesus would pay him any attention! Yet he does. Jesus tells the crowd to bring the man to him, and immediately there is a shift. The crowd begins to help Bartimaeus get to Jesus, encouraging the beggar to “take heart.” How quickly the people change at the word of Christ.

Our world seems to be in a constant precarious state.

Uncertainty surrounds us, and that uncertainty can become fear, and fear can activate our insecurities and our base instincts. The crowd following Jesus was attracted to him, yes, but their attraction was shallow, and the uncertainty of their world activated their fear to kept them on edge. They perceive the beggar as a threat, and when he calls out for mercy, they try to shut him up. But at the word of Jesus, they are reminded that fear does not win.

Just like the crowd, we can often find ourselves controlled by fear. We don’t mean to be, but the world can get the best of us. That’s why we need to heed Jesus’s call and hear his command to bring all people into his loving embrace.

It’s only in Christ that we can find true healing.

What we do as a faith community can be incredibly powerful. Every day, we can choose to be agents of Christ and the tools of grace that bring people closer to God. I

Oldroyd served as musician at UK Anglo-Catholic churches in the early 20th-century. The influence of plainsong can be seen in an uneven rhythm and harmonies based on ancient church modes. The title quotes Psalm 84:2. Typical for the period, Oldroyd capitalizes on the organ’s ability to create smooth increases and decreases in volume.

The Lesson

Jeremiah 31:7-9

Thus says the LORD: Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, and raise shouts for the chief of the nations; proclaim, give praise, and say, “Save, O Lord, your people, the remnant of Israel.” See, I am going to bring them from the land of the north, and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, those with child and those in labor, together; a great company, they shall return here. With weeping they shall come, and with consolations I will lead them back, I will let them walk by brooks of water, in a straight path in which they shall not stumble; for I have become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

Psalm 126 (Anglican chant)

Charles Stanford

Chanted by the choir

When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, *

then were we like those who dream.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, *

and our tongue with shouts of joy.

Then they said among the nations, *

“The LORD has done great things for them.”

The LORD has done great things for us, *

and we are glad indeed.

Restore our fortunes, O LORD, *

like the watercourses of the Negev.

Those who sowed with tears *

will reap with songs of joy.

Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, *

will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.

Mark 10:46-52 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Jesus and his disciples came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stood still and said, “Call him here.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart; get up, he is calling you.” So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. Then Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?”

The blind man said to him, “My teacher, let me see again.” Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The Sermon

The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata

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,

BCP 358

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Holy Communion Offertory Anthem O how amiable

Jeffrey Smith

O how amiable are thy dwellings, Thou Lord of hosts!

My soul hath a desire and longing To enter into the courts of the Lord.

My heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God. Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house And the swallow a nest Where she may lay her young: Even thy altars, O Lord of hosts, My King, and my God. Blessed are they that dwell in thy house.

They will be alway praising thee.

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

The Lord be with you.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give him thanks and praise.

Jeffrey Smith has held several prominent Episcopal church music director positions, including Grace Cathedral, San Francisco and currently at St. Paul’s, K. St. in Washington DC. Today’s anthem was written for the Girls Choir of Christ Church Cathedral in Lexington, KY. It vividly paints a picture of the text, particularly in the middle section at “Yea, the sparrow…” with remnants of bird song in the organ and rhythmic figures perhaps mimicking bird-like movements in the voices. A grand crescendo at “My King and my God” leads to a recap of the opening material, but with the addition of a longing-filled descant hovering above the other two voices.

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.

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.

9

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.

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.

Sung by All

Georg Böhm is an important figure in the history of organ music primarily because he was one of the childhood music teachers of Johann Sebastian Bach. Among other things, Böhm passed along to Bach the stylus phantasticus, a type of composition intended to shock and awe audiences by sudden contrasts and displays of virtuosity. This style is on display from the very beginning of Böhm’s Praeludium in C, which begins with a lengthy and impressive pedal solo that traverses the entire length of the pedalboard.
