WHO WE ARE
St. John’s is an open and affirming community of faith and YOU are welcome here – just as you are. Adults, families, widows and widowers, retired folks, partners, those in transition, empty-nesters, divorced, single parents, questioning teens and wiggly children are all valued members of our community.
NEW TO ST. JOHN’S?
Everything you will need for this service is in your worship leaflet. For the first-time visitor, liturgy may be exhilarating or confusing. In this service, people stand, sit, and kneel. You will hear sung and spoken responses, and other participatory elements. Remember that we are all here to worship and learn – and there is no wrong way! And we love having children in our service. Don’t worry about any noise or activity. We want your children to feel at home here too. We offer a Children’s Time in Tyler Hall if you prefer. There, they will hear biblical teachings and participate in activities geared toward their age level.
FINDING YOUR WAY AROUND
Restrooms can be found downstairs just outside Tyler Hall. To take the stairs, go out the double doors at the rear of the Sanctuary, take the stairwell to the right to the men’s room and the stairwell to the left to the women’s room. To take the elevator, exit the Sanctuary by the side door to the parking lot and follow the veranda around to the glass door to the elevator lobby. Go to level B. You’ll turn left, go through Tyler Hall, and into the restroom hallways.
JOIN US FOR COFFEE HOUR IN TYLER HALL
We invite you to join us following the service this and every Sunday for coffee hour in Tyler Hall. We hope you will come for coffee and goodies but stay for the loving welcome you will find in community at St. John’s.
COMING IN APRIL: INSTRUCTED EUCHARIST
Mark your calendars for our next St. John’s Instructed Eucharist on Sunday, April 27th.
Last year, we concluded our Adult Formation Series, The Anglican Way, with an instructed Eucharist. Your Vestry, at their Winter Retreat, suggest that we offer another opportunity for parishioners and inquirers to learn more about our Liturgy – but this time, on a Sunday morning.
We hope you will join us on the Second Sunday of Easter for this instructed worship experience.
Watch your weekly eUpdates and bulletins for additional information.
PLEASE NOTE: This service begins with the Prelude. The ringing of the bell signals the beginning of the Liturgy. The Liturgy begins with a procession while singing our Opening Hymn. Additional announcements regarding our Parish Life will follow Take5.
Worship lies at the heart of the Christian life. It is in worship that we express our theology and define our identity. It is through encountering God within worship and prayer that we are formed and transformed as the people of God.
The people’s responses are in bold. This booklet contains everything you will need to participate in this service.
THE P RELUDE
The bell rings to signal the beginning of our liturgy
Please stand as you are able.
THE OPENING HYMN
Come, thou fount of every blessing
The Hymnal 1982; #686
The Penitential Order
The Penitential Order includes an acclamation and the confession of sin and absolution. It is commonly used to open the Liturgy on Sundays in Lent.
The people standing, the Celebrant says Bless the Lord who forgives all our sins; All His mercy endures for ever.
THE DECALOGUE
Thomas Cranmer introduced the Decalogue (Tens Words, or Ten Commandments) in the 1552 Prayer Book. The English translation of the Kyrie ”Lord, have mercy upon us” in the congregational response. Please kneel or stand as you are able.
Hear the commandments of God to his people: I am the Lord your God who brought you out of bondage. You shall have no other gods but me.
You shall not make for yourself any idol.
You shall not invoke with malice the Name of the Lord your God.
Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy.
Honor your father and your mother. You shall not commit murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not be a false witness.
You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.
The Celebrant may read the following sentence
Since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:14,16
The Deacon or Celebrant then says
Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. Silence may be kept.
Minister and People
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.
The Bishop when present, or the Priest, stands and says 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.
Please stand as you are able
THE TRISAGION
The Hymnal 1982; S102 The Trisagion, which means ‘Thrice Holy’ in Greek, is repeated three times in succession. It is an ancient church hymn, first mentioned at the Council of Chalcedon in 451.
THE COLLECT OF THE DAY
The Collect is the prayer appointed for each Sunday that “collects” or captures the theme of the day or season of the Church year. It summarized the attributes of God as revealed in the scriptures for the day.
The Celebrant says to the people
The Lord be with you. All And also with you. Let us pray.
Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: Evermore give us this bread, that he may live in us, and we in him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
THE LESSONS
The people are seated.
The first lesson is typically from the Old Testament (Hebrew Scriptures), which Jesus knew and from which he often referred or quoted. The second lesson is taken from the New Testament and is typically from a letter (epistle) to the early Church, the Acts of the Apostles, or the Revelation to John.
The
First Lesson: Joshua 5:9-12
A reading from the Book of Joshua
The LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away from you the disgrace of Egypt." And so that place is called Gilgal to this day.
While the Israelites were camped in Gilgal they kept the passover in the evening on the fourteenth day of the month in the plains of Jericho. On the day after the passover, on that very day, they ate the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain. The manna ceased on the day they ate the produce of the land, and the Israelites no longer had manna; they ate the crops of the land of Canaan that year. The Word of the Lord
All Thanks be to God.
The Psalm: Psalm 32 Beati quorum
Chanted in unison
1 Happy are they whose transgressions are for - / given, * and whose sin / is put away!
2 Happy are they to whom the LORD imputes / no guilt, * and in whose spirit / there is no guile!
3 While I held my tongue, my bones withered / away, * because of my groan - / ing all day long.
4 For your hand was heavy upon me day / and night; * my moisture was dried up as in the / heat of summer.
5 Then I acknowledged my sin / to you, * and did not / conceal my guilt.
6 I said," I will confess my transgressions to / the LORD." * Then you forgave me the / guilt of my sin.
7 Therefore all the faithful will make their prayers to you in time of / trouble; * when the great waters overflow, they / shall not reach them.
8 You are my hiding-place; you preserve me from / trouble; * you surround me with shouts of / deliverance.
9 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you / should go; * I will guide / you with my eye.
10 Do not be like horse or mule, which have no under - / standing; * who must be fitted with bit and bridle, or else they will / not stay near you."
11 Great are the tribulations of the / wicked; * but mercy embraces those who / trust in the LORD.
12 Be glad, you righteous, and rejoice in / the LORD; * shout for joy, all who / are true of heart.
The Epistle: 2 Corinthians 5:16-21
A reading from Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians
From now on, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way. If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. The Word of the Lord. All Thanks be to God.
The Service continues with the Sequence Hymn on page 10.
Please stand as you are able.
THE SEQUENCE HYMN
Lord Jesus, think on me
The Hymnal 1982; #641
The Holy Gospel: Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32
The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ according to Luke All Glory to you, Lord Christ
All the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to Jesus. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, "This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them."
So Jesus told them this parable:
"There was a man who had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me.' So he divided his property between them. A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living. When he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself he said, 'How many of my father's hired hands have bread enough
and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger! I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands."' So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. Then the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his slaves, 'Quickly, bring out a robe the best one and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!' And they began to celebrate.
"Now his elder son was in the field; and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. He called one of the slaves and asked what was going on. He replied, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has got him back safe and sound.' Then he became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and began to plead with him. But he answered his father, 'Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!' Then the father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.'"
The Gospel of the Lord. All Praise to you, Lord Christ
THE SERMON
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:
Continued on page 12
The Rev. Klára Kovács
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 P RAYERS OF THE PEOPLE: FORM IV
We pray for ourselves and particularly on behalf of others. In our prayers, we pray for the Universal Church, the nation and all who govern, the welfare of the world, the concerns of our community of faith, including those who are in need or suffer, and for the departed and those who mourn. We are reminded in prayer that we are part of a larger fellowship, the Church – the Body of Christ. We hope you will use these prayers as a part of your daily prayer life.
Let us pray for the Church and for the world.
Grant, Almighty God, that all who confess your Name may be united in your truth, live together in your love, and reveal your glory in the world. In our Diocesan cycle of prayer, we pray for the work of our Diocesan Commission on Social Witness, that it may work to empower the Diocese to live out the vows of our Baptismal Covenant.

We commend to your mercy all who have died, that your will for them may be fulfilled; especially remembering the life of Dr. Harold Blanco; and we pray that we may share with all your saints in your eternal kingdom.
Silence
Lord, in your mercy
Hear our prayer.
The Celebrant adds a concluding Collect
O Lord our God, accept the fervent prayers of your people; in the multitude of your mercies, look with compassion upon us and all who turn to you for help; for you are gracious, O lover of souls, and to you we give glory, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.
THE PEACE
The peace of the Lord be always with you.
All And also with you.
The people greet one another with a sign of God’s peace and then are seated.

THE OFFERTORY RESPONSE
Doxology verse The Hymnal 1982; #143, v.5
THE HOLY COMMUNION
This is Eucharistic Prayer C
(Expansive Language approved by the 81st General Convention of the Episcopal Church)
THE G REAT THANKSGIVING
In the Great Thanksgiving, we do what Jesus himself asked us to do: thank God and recall all that God has done for us in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. The Great Thanksgiving, or Eucharistic Prayer, is a prayer with four parts. Each of these four parts corresponds to a different action of Jesus at the Last Supper, where he took, blessed, broke, and gave bread and wine as sacraments of his body and blood. We begin the Great Thanksgiving with the Sursum corda, meaning “Lift up your hearts.”
THE
S URSUM CORDA
Please stand as you are able
May God be with you.
All And also with you
Lift up your hearts
All We lift them to the Lord
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
All It is right to give him thanks and praise.
Then, facing the Holy Table, the Celebrant proceeds
God of all power, Source and Sustainer of the Universe, you are worthy of glory and praise.
Glory to you for ever and ever.
At your command all things came to be: shining light and enfolding dark; the vast expanse of interstellar space, galaxies, suns, and this fragile earth, our island home. By your will they were created and have their being. From the primal elements you brought forth the human race, and blessed us with the capacity for memory, reason, and skill. You made us the stewards of your creation. But we turned against you, and betrayed your trust; and we turned against one another. Have mercy, Lord, for we are sinners in your sight. Again and again, you called us to return. Through prophets and sages you revealed your righteous Law. And in the fullness of time you sent your eternal Word, born of your servant Mary, to fulfill your Law, opening for us the way of freedom and peace. By his blood, he reconciled us. By his wounds, we are healed. And therefore we praise you, joining with the heavenly chorus, with prophets, apostles, and martyrs, and with all those in every generation who have looked to you in hope, to proclaim with them your glory, in their unending hymn: THE SANCTUS & BENEDICTUS The Hymnal 1982; S124
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. On the night he was betrayed Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke the bread, and gave it to his friends, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”
After supper, Jesus took the cup of wine, gave thanks, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for all for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”
Remembering now his work of redemption and offering to you this sacrifice of thanksgiving, We celebrate Christ’s death and resurrection as we await the day of his coming. The Celebrant continues
Therefore, O God, we who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ, and made a new people by water and the Spirit, now bring before you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ our Savior. Sanctify us also, and let the grace of this Holy Communion make us one body, one spirit in Christ, that we may worthily serve the world in his name. Risen Lord, be known to us in the breaking of the Bread. God of our ancestors; Redeemer and Mother of Israel; God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: Open our eyes to see your hand at work in the world about us. Deliver us from the presumption of coming to this Table for solace only and not for strength; for pardon only and not for renewal.
Accept these prayers and praises, Almighty God, through Jesus Christ our great High Priest, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, your Church gives honor, glory, and worship, from generation to generation. AMEN.
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to pray
THE LORD’S PRAYER
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
THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD
The Celebrant breaks the consecrated Bread.
A period of silence is kept.
The Hymnal 1982; #S169
THE INVITATION TO COMMUNION
Facing the people, the Celebrant says the following Invitation
The Gifts of God for the People of God. and may add
Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.
THE DISTRIBUTION OF HOLY COMMUNION

Now send us forth A people forgiven, healed, renewed; That we may proclaim your love to the world And continue in the risen life of Christ our Savior. Amen.
THE SOLEMN P RAYER OVER THE P EOPLE

Amen.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?
If you want to learn more about St. John’s or the Episcopal Church, call us at 304.525.9105 or see Fr. Greg, Vivian, our Parish Life Director, or any of our lay leaders following this service or at Coffee Hour downstairs in Tyler Hall.
THIS WEEK’S COVER ART: This Sunday, our Gospel reading comes from the fifteenth chapter of Luke. It contains the Parable of the Prodigal Son. We all know this story, and it is comforting for us to know that God joyfully welcomes us ‘home’ when we repent. It is fitting that this parable appears on in our Lectionary on the Fourth Sunday in Lent. Lent is, for Christians, that period of introspection and repentance that occurred for the Prodigal Son while in debt, starving, and feeding pigs to survive. Lent encourages us to examine our actions and seek forgiveness…and make that decision, maybe for the first time or maybe the thousandth: “I wanna go home.” (Stock photo used under license with Shutterstock)
