I am excited about Summer at Saint Michael and hope you will join us in-person and ev. , a Dr rat i . Ch G online!

In addition to our 9 a.m. ristopher D. and 11 a.m. services in the Church, we have launched a great summer program of in-person Formation classes and welcomed back the Joy Service. The Joy Service is held in the Saint Michael Chapel at 9 a.m., followed by children, youth, and adult classes at 10 a.m. throughout the building. We have also brought coffee service back on Sundays, which definitely adds to the festive feel.

It’s wonderful to be back together!

Between Sundays, we have many opportunities to plug into life at Saint Michael, including weekday worship services and special programs like Pub Theology. Morning Prayer will be held at 7:00 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as a service of Holy Eucharist at 12:30 p.m. every Wednesday, with a special service of healing the first Wednesday of each month. Morning Prayer is designed to help busy people experience the blessings that arise from the regular practice of prayer in daily life, and a midweek service of Holy Eucharist can be a true blessing and respite during a busy week.

Pub Theology is a special program on Monday nights in June. Join us as we welcome guest speakers to engage in hot topics, including live Q&A from those in person and online. Although we aren’t yet able to return to the pub, you’re welcome to join us in person in our Parish Hall or streaming online.

A reminder that we will continue to stream our 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. services every Sunday, so joining us

The Lesson

Ezekiel 17:22-24

Thus says the Lord God: I myself will take a sprig from the lofty top of a cedar; I will set it out. I will break off a tender one from the topmost of its young twigs; I myself will plant it on a high and lofty mountain. On the mountain height of Israel I will plant it, in order that it may produce boughs and bear fruit, and become a noble cedar. Under it every kind of bird will live; in the shade of its branches will nest winged creatures of every kind. All the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord. I bring low the high tree, I make high the low tree; I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish. I the Lord have spoken; I will accomplish it.

Lector The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God. Psalm 92:1-4,11-14 (Anglican chant) Chanted by the choir

It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, *

Charles Villiers Stanford

and to sing praises to your Name, O Most High; To tell of your loving-kindness early in the morning * and of your faithfulness in the night season; On the psaltery, and on the lyre, * and to the melody of the harp.

For you have made me glad by your acts, O Lord; * and I shout for joy because of the works of your hands.

The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, * and shall spread abroad like a cedar of Lebanon.

Those who are planted in the house of the Lord * shall flourish in the courts of our God; They shall still bear fruit in old age; * they shall be green and succulent; That they may show how upright the Lord is, * my Rock, in whom there is no fault.

Mark 4:26-34 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on

the ground, and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not know how. The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head. But when the grain is ripe, at once he goes in with his sickle, because the harvest has come.” He also said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we use for it? It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.” With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it; he did not speak to them except in parables, but he explained everything in private to his disciples.

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, 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

BCP 358

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 Christ hath a garden

Gerald Near

Christ hath a garden walled around, A Paradise of fruitful ground, Chosen by love and fenced by grace, From out the world’s wide wilderness.

Like trees of spice his servants stand, There planted by his mighty hand;

By Eden’s gracious streams, that flow To feed their beauty where they grow Awake, O wind of heav’n and bear, Their sweetest perfume through the air: Stir up, O south, the boughs that bloom, Till the beloved Master come: That he may come, and linger yet Among the trees that he hath set; That he may evermore be seen To walk amid the springing green.

Hymn S 129 Sanctus and Benedictus

Robert Powell

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.”

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.

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

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,

Celebrant and People

10

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.
