THE TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

OCTOBER 31, 2021

Welcome!

JOIN US IN WORSHIP

Dear Friends, There are countless ways to serve at Saint Michael. Service in and through our church is easy, and service can make a big impact.

This month, our community impact project is supporting our neighbors in the St. Philip’s Community. Our annual Coat Drive has made a significant impact through St. Philip’s these past few years, and I encourage you to get involved. We need gently used (or new!) coats of all sizes—including children—to stock their coat closet for winter. Bins to collect coats can be found at Saint Michael, but we need your contributions right away, so don’t delay.

Serving the needs of one another both inside and outside our church community is incredibly powerful.

We can choose to be agents of Christ—the tools of love and grace—that bring people closer to God. I want you to be part of that work and to put your faith in action. Join us now and make a gift to support the work we share, to commit with faithfulness and courage. We are not given a spirit of fear, but one of power and love. Be part of expanding the power and love of Christ here at Saint Michael and make a financial commitment to share our work today.

Next week, our 75th Anniversary celebration continues as we will welcome the Rev. Dr. Bob Dannals as our guest preacher for our All Saints’ Day worship service on Sunday, November 7. Bob will be with us for both traditional services at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. in the church, as well as a festive reception between the services, and I hope you will join us! That same evening, we will hold a very special All Souls Evensong in the church at 5:30 p.m. This candlelit

Prelude Cortège et Litanie, Op. 19, no. 2

Standing, sung by All Prelude: This piece was first composed for organ and orchestra, and later transcribed by the composer for organ solo. It depicts a solemn procession: the first theme is announced by the softer strings, growing louder as the procession nears. The flute stops begin a repetitive litany, combined contrapuntally with the first theme, steadily growing in volume until the procession reaches its destiny.

Celebrant Let us pray.

Almighty and merciful God, it is only by your gift that your faithful people offer you true and laudable service: Grant that we may run without stumbling to obtain your heavenly promises; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The Lesson

Deuteronomy 6:1-9

Moses said: Now this is the commandment–the statutes and the ordinances–that the LORD your God charged me to teach you to observe in the land that you are about to cross into and occupy, so that you and your children and your children’s children, may fear the LORD your God all the days of your life, and keep all his decrees and his commandments that I am commanding you, so that your days may be long. Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe them diligently, so that it may go well with you, and so that you may multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has promised you. Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD alone. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Lector The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God. Psalm 119:1-8 (Anglican chant)

Edward John Hopkins

Chanted by the choir

Happy are they whose way is blameless, *

who walk in the law of the LORD! Happy are they who observe his decrees *

and seek him with all their hearts!

Who never do any wrong, *

but always walk in his ways.

You laid down your commandments, *

that we should fully keep them.

Oh, that my ways were made so direct *

that I might keep your statutes!

Then I should not be put to shame, *

when I regard all your commandments.

I will thank you with an unfeigned heart, *

when I have learned your righteous judgments.

I will keep your statutes; *

do not utterly forsake me.

The Gospel Gospeler People

Mark 12:28-34 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

One of the scribes came near and heard the Saducees disputing with one another, and seeing that Jesus answered them well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the first of all?” Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Then the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that ‘he is one, and besides him there is no other’; and ‘to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength,’ and ‘to love one’s neighbor as oneself,’—this is much more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” After that no one dared to ask him any question.

The Sermon

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The Reverend Kenneth H. Brannon

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 Peace

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.

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 There is a land of pure delight

Grayston Ives

There is a land of pure delight where saints immortal reign; infinite day excludes the night and pleasures banish pain.

There everlasting spring abides and never withering flowers; Death like a narrow sea divides that heavenly land from ours.

Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood stand dressed in living green; so to the Jews old Canaan stood while Jordan rolled between.

But tim’rous mortals start and shrink to cross the narrow sea, and linger shiv’ring on the brink, and fear to launch away.

O could we make our doubts remove, those gloomy doubts that rise, and see the Canaan that we love with unbeclouded eyes.

Could we but climb where Moses stood and view the landscape o’er; not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood should fright us from the shore.

- Isaac Watts

“There is a land of pure delight” sets luminous poetry by Isaac Watts about the life to come. It paints in vivid colors the joys of life eternal, and reminds us to embrace God’s promises to us: “But timorous mortals start and shrink to cross the narrow sea, and linger shivering on the brink, and fear to launch away.” It is normal to fear death, but we who know God’s promise of everlasting life have nothing to dread. This poetry is a good reminder to us as we approach All Saints Day, and our eternal home.

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

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.

10

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.

Fraction Anthem: Hymn S 154

Worshippers are invited to come forward to the Communion rail at the direction of our ushers. Kneel at the rail as you are able, and receive the wafer in the palm of your outstretched hands. Gluten free wafers are available upon request. Receive the wine by drinking from the chalice as it is offered to you, or by retaining the wafer, to dip lightly into the chalice for yourself.

Concluding Hymn Hymn 408 “Sing praise to God who reigns above”

Mit freuden zart

Called the “Dean of Canadian composers,” Willan finished the monumental work from which our postlude is taken in 1916.

The writing of the first two movements is more dramatic than is typical for Willan, likely the result of a challenge from a colleague upon hearing music by then-contemporary maximalist Max Reger. However, the Fugue is more typical Willan as it hearkens to more conservative 19th-century composers such as Mendelssohn or Brahms, until its impassioned conclusion returns to the more intense writing of earlier in the work.

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

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.
