The Sunday after All Saints’ Day: Year B
4 November 2018 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 George M. Maxwell, Jr., 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.

Lector
A Reading from The Revelation to John.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.” And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Then he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life.” Lector All
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. Glory to you, Lord Christ.
When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” Jesus began to weep. So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?” Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days.” Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you for having heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.” When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.” Gospeler All

The Sermon
Canon Maxwell

Holy Baptism is the sacrament by which God adopts us as children and makes us members of Christ’s Body, the Church, and inheritors of the kingdom of God. (BCP, p. 858) The celebrant asks two sets of three questions. The first set asks the candidates to renounce evil; the second to promise adherence to 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. 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 Parents and Godparents, who speak on behalf of the infants and younger children.

All stand. The Celebrant addresses the congregation, saying

The Celebrant then says
Let us join with those who are committing themselves to Christ and renew our own baptismal covenant.

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.

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 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.

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 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 Thanksgiving Over the Water is also placed at the focal point of the baptismal liturgy, between the entrance into the Baptismal Covenant and the sacramental washing.
The Thanksgiving over the Water
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.
BCP, p. 306
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. 8
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 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 Parish Notices The Blessing of Expectant Parents

The verbal welcome is accompanied by the ritual action of the exchange of the peace. As members of the Church, the newly baptized take their places as participants in the Eucharistic assembly.
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: John Ronald Daniels, Jr., How shall I sing that Majesty? words: John Mason (1646?-1694)
How shall I sing that majesty Which angels do admire? Let dust in dust and silence lie; Sing, sing, ye heavenly choir.
Enlighten with faith’s light my heart, Inflame it with love’s fire; Then shall I sing and bear a part With that celestial choir.
Thousands of thousands stand around Thy throne, O God most high; Ten thousand times ten thousand sound Thy praise; but who am I?
I shall, I fear, be dark and cold, With all my fire and light; Yet, when thou dost accept their gold, Lord, treasure up my mite.
Thy brightness unto them appears; Whilst I thy footsteps trace, A sound of God comes to my ears, But they behold thy face.
How great a being, Lord, is thine, Which doth all beings keep! Thy knowledge is the only line To sound so vast a deep.
They sing because thou art their sun; Lord, send a beam on me; For where heaven is but once begun, There alleluias be.
Thou art a sea without a shore, A sun without a sphere; Thy time is now and evermore, Thy place is everywhere.
11:15 a.m.
music: William H. Harris, Bring us, O Lord God words: John Donne (1572-1631)
Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening into the house and gate of heaven to enter into that gate and dwell in that house, where there shall be no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light; no noise nor silence, but one equal music; no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession; no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity; in the habitation of thy glory and dominion, world without end. Amen.

In the Offertory that follows, representatives from the congregation place money, bread, and wine on the altar. With this action, we offer ourselves, our concerns, and the fruit of our labor to God.
The Holy Eucharist is the sacrament commanded by Christ for the continual remembrance of his life, death, and resurrection, until his coming again. (BCP, p. 859)
The Great Thanksgiving Celebrant The Lord be with you. All And also with you. 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.
It is this opening thanksgiving, or eucharistia, which gives its name to the Great Thanksgiving.
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.
Eucharistic Prayer A, BCP, p. 361
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

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.”
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.
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
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.

The epiclesis, or the invitation to the Holy Spirit, is invoked both upon us and upon the Eucharistic gifts.
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.

November 4, 2018 WELCOME For the latest news and happenings from the Cathedral, visit out website at cathedralATL.org. Also, see the information in print in our weekly newsletter, Cathedral Times, available in the narthex, in the hallway outside Child Hall, and in the Atrium.
Tour the Cathedral this morning after the 8:45 and 11:15 a.m. services. Please meet us below the pulpit to explore the nooks and crannies of this wonderful place!
CHILDREN Children of all ages are welcome and encouraged to participate fully in our liturgy. For parents who prefer it, The Nurturing Center is open for children three and younger from 8:30 a.m. through the end of the 11:15 a.m. service each week. Children’s chapel takes place during the 8:45 a.m. service as an option for parents and children who are not yet ready to experience the full liturgy together, though children are always welcome in “big” church. Children three years (by September 1, 2018) through third grade begin in church with their parents, then follow the children’s acolytes and leaders out at the sequence hymn. Children will rejoin their parents at the Offertory. Two-year-olds attend their own chapel service, which begins at 8:45 a.m. Parents who would like their children two-years-old and younger to join them for communion may go pick them up from Room 227 at the Peace. All Godly Play classes are mixed-age groupings. If you have not registered for Sunday School, your child will be placed in an appropriate class when you arrive on the Children’s wing this morning. Children’s Sunday School classes will meet immediately after the 8:45 a.m. service.
YOUTH “Collaborate: Bible Study”—Room 382 Join us for Middle School Sunday School! This year we will be taking an in-depth look into the New Testament. In “Collaborate: Bible Study” by Sparkhouse, we will use activities, videos, and scripture to ask questions such as, “Why do we hold Paul in such high esteem, given his poor track record with Christians?” and “Where did the Bible take place?” Becoming Rooted and Grounded—Room 368 Being a Christian today requires us to be deeply rooted in our own tradition and grounded in practices that enable us to relate and collaborate across difference. Join us this year in High School Sunday School as we explore what it means to be a part of the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement and the Anglican communion. We’ll plan to take a deep dive into the history, practices, and controversies of our Anglican church during the Fall semester in order to better prepare ourselves for conversation and discussion about other religions and faiths this coming Spring. For more information on offerings for Youth at the Cathedral, contact Maggie Paul, mpaul@cathedralATL.org, 404-365-1080. 21
ADULT EDUCATION All classes meet at 10:10 a.m. unless otherwise noted.
Living Faith: Falling in Love with the Bible Again—Room 120 Join Canon Holder and Canon 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 fall, we will be taking a new look at an old book, the Bible, as we explore how we read it as Episcopalians and how we make sense of it today and, hopefully, fall in love with it all over again! We will be using Rachel Held Evans’ book, Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again, as a starting point for our conversation. Old Fashioned Sunday School: A Biography of the Apostle Paul—Child Hall Canon George Maxwell continues his discussion of what Paul, the apostle, was actually doing and why. Paul has convinced the Jerusalem church that Gentiles should be included in the Jesus Movement. But, the stress of the controversy cost him his relationship with Barnabas and John Mark. Join us this week as we explore the new partnership Paul forms with Silas and Timothy, and follow the three in their wandering journey into Europe. All are welcome. You will find a light heart, warm welcome, and good coffee! Our True Selves—Room 240 The Rev. Dr. Thee Smith leads this series of co-listening classes that aim to enhance our ability to be fully ourselves—our true, worthy and estimable selves. We become most truly ourselves through beloved community with other selves, just as God in Trinity is three-Persons in unity. Yet there are also best practices that can aid us in listening for ‘the sound of the genuine in both others and ourselves’ (coined by the celebrated preacher-mystic, Howard Thurman). Topics can include everyday experiences and range through tough political issues as well as lifestyle choices and faith matters. For more information contact The Rev. Thee Smith (404-365-1093, tsmith@ cathedralATL.org). The Path of Compassion—Room 239 “Compassion is not just at the heart; it is of the heart. We are never beyond the reach of God’s Grace. Grace transforms us. We don’t do just gracious acts, we become more gracious as persons.” Life itself—to awaken this morning—is grace. Join us for good conversation and exchange of ideas in living and perhaps caring. Family, friends, neighbors, and perhaps others will benefit from your input. Join Canon Carolynne Williams and seminarian Caroline Carson Sundays, October 14 – November 4 as we discuss The Path of Compassion: Living with Heart, Soul, and Mind by Ron Greer.
