The Sunday after All Saints’ Day: Year A
5 November 2017 ď ˜ 8:45 A.M. and 11:15 A.M. Holy Baptism and Holy Eucharist
The Very Reverend Samuel G. Candler, Celebrant The Reverend Canon Catherine Zappa, Preacher The 8:45 a.m. service in the Cathedral gathers the largest and most diverse age groups of the parish. We rejoice and laugh with smaller children who are a large presence here; so the sermons, prayers, and hymns are intentionally developed to have a wide and educational appeal. This service maintains the grandeur and grace of the Anglican tradition, but our faith is presented in a creative and wide style. Should one be meeting the Episcopal Church from another tradition, this is our most accessible service. The 11:15 a.m. Eucharist presents the splendor of the Christian faith in its most glorious Anglican fashion. Our music, our prayers, and our sermons use the finest sources our spiritual history can offer. Incense is used on feast days. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

Revelation 7:9-17
All sit.
Lector
A Reading from The Revelation to John.
After this I, John, looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, singing, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen. “Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, robed in white, and where have they come from? “I said to him, “Sir, you are the one that knows. “ Then he said to me, “These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. For this reason they are before the throne of God, and worship him day and night within his temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them. They will hunger no more, and thirst no more; the sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat; for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” Lector All
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
8:45 a.m. only: Children ages 3 (by September 1, 2017) through 3rd grade are invited to follow the acolytes and chapel leaders to the Children’s Chapel at this time. Children will rejoin their parents at the Offertory.

All
Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. Glory to you, Lord Christ.
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Gospeler All
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ.

HOLY BAPTISM The Presentation and Examination of the Candidates BCP, p. 301 Celebrant The Candidates for Holy Baptism will now be presented. Parents, Godparents and Sponsors
I present N. to receive the Sacrament of Baptism. The Celebrant asks each adult candidate when presented
Candidate
Do you desire to be baptized? I do.
When all have been presented the Celebrant asks the Parents and Godparents
Will you be responsible for seeing that the child you present is brought up in the Christian faith and life? Parents and Godparents
I will, with God’s help.
Celebrant
Will you by your prayers and witness help this child to grow into the full stature of Christ?
Parents and Godparents
I will, with God’s help.
Then the Celebrant asks the following questions of the adult candidates and Parents and Godparents

All stand. The Celebrant addresses the congregation, saying
All
Will you who witness these vows do all in your power to support these persons in their life in Christ? We will.
The Celebrant then says
Let us join with those who are committing themselves to Christ and renew our own baptismal covenant.
7
The celebrant asks two sets of three questions. The first set asks the candidates to renounce evil, the second to promise adherence to Christ.
To emphasize the nature of the sacrament, the Baptismal Covenant is renewed by all the baptized Christians who are present. They join with those being baptized in reciting the Apostles’ Creed and in responding to the Covenant’s other questions.
The Baptismal Covenant BCP, p. 304 Celebrant Do you believe in God the Father? All I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. Celebrant All
Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
Celebrant All
Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Celebrant
Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers? I will, with God’s help.
All Celebrant

All
Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord? I will, with God’s help. Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ? I will, with God’s help. Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself? I will, with God’s help. Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being? I will, with God’s help.
The Prayers for the Candidates BCP, p. 305 Celebrant Let us now pray for these persons who are to receive the Sacrament of new birth. Intercessor All
Deliver them, O Lord, from the way of sin and death. Lord, hear our prayer.
Intercessor All
Open their hearts to your grace and truth. Lord, hear our prayer.
Intercessor All
Fill them with your holy and life-giving Spirit. Lord, hear our prayer.
Intercessor All

Intercessor All
Bring them to the fullness of your peace and glory. Lord, hear our prayer.
Celebrant
Grant, O Lord, that all who are baptized into the death of Jesus Christ your Son may live in the power of his resurrection and look for him to come again in glory; who lives and reigns now and for ever. Amen.
The Thanksgiving over the Water
BCP, p. 306
The Celebrant blesses the water, first saying
Celebrant All
The Lord be with you. And also with you.
Celebrant All
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give God thanks and praise.
Celebrant
We thank you, Almighty God, for the gift of water. Over it the Holy Spirit moved in the beginning of creation. Through it you led the children of Israel out of their bondage in Egypt into the land of promise. In it your Son Jesus received the baptism of John and was anointed by the Holy Spirit as the Messiah, the Christ, to lead us, through his death and resurrection, from the bondage of sin into everlasting life. We thank you, Father, for the water of Baptism. In it we are buried with Christ in his death. By it we share in his resurrection. Through it we are reborn by the Holy Spirit. Therefore in joyful obedience to your Son, we bring into his fellowship those who come to him in faith, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
At the following words, the Celebrant touches the water
Now sanctify this water, we pray you, by the power of your Holy Spirit, that those who here are cleansed from sin and born again may continue for ever in the risen life of Jesus Christ our Savior. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be all honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.
9
The principal prayer of the baptismal liturgy is the Thanksgiving over Water. The structure is deliberately parallel to that of the Great Thanksgiving at the Eucharist. The prayer is also placed at the focal point of the baptismal liturgy, between the entrance into the baptismal covenant and the sacramental washing.
The Baptism
BCP, p. 307
The Congregation may be seated for the baptisms. The Candidates are presented by name to the Priest who pours water upon each Candidate, saying
N., I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Then the Celebrant, using chrism, places a hand on the person’s head, marking on the forehead the sign of the cross and saying
N., you are sealed by the Holy Spirit in Baptism and marked as Christ’s own for ever. Amen. All stand. Parents, Godparents, and the newly baptized gather at the font. After the baptisms, the Celebrant says
Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we thank you that by water and the Holy Spirit you have bestowed upon these your servants the forgiveness of sin, and have raised them to the new life of grace. Sustain them, O Lord, in your Holy Spirit. Give them an inquiring and discerning heart, the courage to will and to persevere, a spirit to know and to love you, and the gift of joy and wonder in all your works. Amen. The verbal welcome is accompanied by the ritual action of the exchange of the peace. As members of the Church they take their places as participants in the Eucharistic assembly.
The Celebrant introduces the newly baptized, and then says
Let us welcome the newly baptized. All
We receive you into the household of God. Confess the faith of Christ crucified, proclaim his resurrection, and share with us in his eternal priesthood.
The Peace
The Celebrant says
All
The peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you.
All greet one another in the name of the Lord.

THE HOLY COMMUNION The offering today, the first Sunday of the month, is designated for the Discretionary Fund for the Needy.
The Offertory The Offertory Anthems 8:45 a.m.
music: Grayston Ives (b. 1948), There Is a Land of Pure Delight words: Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
There is a land of pure delight Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night And pleasures banish pain.
But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross the narrow sea, And linger shivering on the brink, And fear to launch away.
There everlasting spring abides And never withering flowers; Death like a narrow sea divides That heavenly land from ours.
O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes.
Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood While Jordan rolled between.
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.
11:15 a.m.
music: Dan Locklair (b. 1949), Remembrance words: Matthew 5:3-12
Remember your servants, Lord. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you, when the world reviles you, and persecutes you, and utters all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven.
11
All sing In placing on the altar money and bread and wine, the congregation offers itself and its world. But the underlying reality of the action is that we offer our lives, individually and corporately, to become Christ’s body in this world.

The Great Thanksgiving Celebrant The Lord be with you. All And also with you.
Eucharistic Prayer A, BCP, p. 361 It is this opening thanksgiving, or eucharistia, which gives its name to the Great Thanksgiving.
Celebrant All
Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord.
Celebrant All
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give God thanks and praise.
Celebrant
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. For in the multitude of your saints, you have surrounded us with a great cloud of witnesses, that we might rejoice in their fellowship, and run with endurance the race that is set before us; and, together with them, receive the crown of glory that never fades away. 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:
All sing
The Sanctus and Benedictus
S 128, William Mathias
The Eucharist is not simply the action of the particular congregation, which happens to be assembled in a particular place, but of the whole Church, even the whole creation, which joins with the congregation in singing the heavenly hymn of Isaiah 6 and Revelation 4.
13
The Greek word for “remembrance” (anamnesis) carries the full weight of the biblical concept. Through anamnesis we become participants in the events, not as history, but as present realities in our lives.
All stand or kneel.
Celebrant
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. 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:
All
Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
Celebrant The epiclesis, or the invitation to the Holy Spirit, is invoked both upon us and upon the Eucharistic gifts.
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. 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 Christ, and with Christ, and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. Amen.
14
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, The Lord’s Prayer
BCP, p. 364
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.
All sing
The Fraction Anthem
S 155, Gerald Near Christians have seen in the breaking of the bread a symbol of the breaking of the Lord’s body on the cross. We also see it in our own need to be broken in order both to share in the life in Christ and to share that life with others.
15
The Communion
All are welcome to receive the consecrated bread and wine of the Eucharist. You may receive at the altar or at floor-level stations. Stand or kneel and receive the bread (a wafer) in the palm of your hand. Gluten-free wafers are available upon request at the Peachtree (left) altar rail. Receive the wine either by drinking from the cup (guiding it to your lips) or by touching the wafer lightly to the wine. Younger children are invited to stand for easier access to the cup. If you desire to receive a blessing, cross your arms across your chest. 11:15 a.m. only: During the ministration of Holy Communion, prayers for healing and the laying on of hands are offered in St. Luke’s Chapel. The chapel is located in the South (Andrews) transept. All are welcome.
Communion Anthems 8:45 a.m.
music: David Conte (b. 1955), In Heaven Soaring Up words: Edward Taylor (1642-1729)
In Heaven soaring up, I dropped an Ear On Earth: and oh! sweet Melody! And listening, found it was the Saints who were Encoached for Heaven that sang for Joy. For in Christ’s Coach they sweetly sing, As they to Glory ride therein. Oh! joyous hearts! Enfired with holy Flame! Is speech thus tasseled with praise? Will not your inward fire of Joy contain, That in it open flames doth blaze? For in Christ’s Coach Saints sweetly sing, As they to Glory ride therein. Some few not in; and some whose Time and Place Block up this Coach’s way do go As Travelers afoot; and so do trace The Road that gives them right thereto; While in this Coach these sweetly sing, As they to Glory ride therein.
11:15 a.m.
music: Gerald Near (b. 1945), For the Feast of All Saints words: Matthew 5:8-10
Beati mundo corde, Blessed are the pure in heart, quoniam ipsi Deum videbunt: for they shall see God. Beati pacifici, Blessed are those who make peace, quoniam filii Dei vocabuntur. for they shall be called the children of God. Beati qui persecutionem patiuntur propter justitiam, Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, quoniam ipsorum est regnum caelorum. for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

YOUTH Welcome to the Bible: We’ve got Fun and Games—Room 382 Join us for Middle School Sunday School! This year we will be asking questions like: Why should we bother with a book that’s 2,000 years old? What does the Bible have to do with me? Is it okay to be uncomfortable with some Bible passages? We will explore these questions, and many others, by playing with clay, sinking model ships, competing in games, and much more! Finding Ourselves in the Stories of Faith—Room 368 High school students are invited to wade through tough questions of faith, ethics, and identity, with some popular and not so popular biblical characters. What can Abraham and Hagar, Moses, Rahab, and Ruth teach us about living out our faith in the age of Instagram?
ADULT EDUCATION All classes meet at 10:10 a.m. unless otherwise noted.
Beginning Biblical Greek Class—Room 356 The New Testament Greek class is offered on a drop-in basis at no cost. No previous language expertise is required; every class begins with the Greek alphabet and pronunciation practice. Living Faith–Room 120 Join Canon Wallace Marsh and Canon Cathy Zappa as we explore what it means to live out our faith through conversation with scripture and tradition, contemporary books, and, most important, one another. This morning, Canon Marsh will continue the discussion of Daring Greatly by focusing on “fear” and “doubt.” Old Fashioned Sunday School—Child Hall Canon George Maxwell leads this series of discussions during the fall term about the Christian Vision of C. S. Lewis. As always, you will find those things that we think matter most: a light heart, a broad welcome, and good coffee. This discussion this morning will focus on the power of evil, by examining Lewis’ description of the Christian life from the devil’s viewpoint. The material presented draws primarily from The Screwtape Letters (1942), by C. S. Lewis. Small Group Bible Study—Room 122 Jim Bingham and Gordon Mathis lead an ongoing small group Bible Study focusing on a particular book of the Bible for several months at a time. This year, we will read the book of Genesis.
