The Feast of the Epiphany: Year C
6 January 2019 8:45 A.M. and 11:15 A.M. Holy Baptism and Holy Eucharist
8:45 a.m. The Reverend John William Harkins III, Ph.D., Celebrant The Reverend Julia Mitchener, Preacher 11:15 a.m. The Reverend Theophus “Thee” Smith, Ph.D., Celebrant The Reverend Julia Mitchener, 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.

Isaiah 60:1-6
All sit.
Lector
A Reading from The Book of Isaiah.
Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will appear over you. Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. Lift up your eyes and look around; they all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from far away, and your daughters shall be carried on their nurses’ arms. Then you shall see and be radiant; your heart shall thrill and rejoice, because the abundance of the sea shall be brought to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you. A multitude of camels shall cover you, the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all those from Sheba shall come. They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praise of the Lord.

All
The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. Glory to you, Lord Christ.
In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, “Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage.” When King Herod heard this, he was frightened, and all Jerusalem with him; and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it has been written by the prophet: ‘And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who is to shepherd my people Israel.’” Then Herod secretly called for the wise men and learned from them the exact time when the star had appeared. Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage.” When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another road. Gospeler All

The Sermon
The Rev. Julia Mitchener 5
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)
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

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
The celebrant asks two sets of three questions. The first set asks the candidates to renounce evil; the second to promise adherence to Christ.
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.

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.

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.

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 Anthem
music: Noël nouvelet, 15th-century French carol, arr. John Rutter (English, b. 1945) words: Late-15th-century French carol, arr. John Rutter
Nowell, sing nowell good people gathered here. Offer thanks, ye faithful, to the news give ear. Sing we nowell, a new King born today. Nowell, sing nowell good people gathered here. Unto humble shepherds came the angel near; “Hence,” said he, “to Bethlem, be ye of good cheer. Seek there the Lamb of God, love’s own pure ray.” Nowell, sing nowell good people gathered here. When to Bethlehem they came in lowly fear, Found they gentle Mary with her son so dear. Heaven’s mighty Lord all cradled in the hay, Nowell, sing nowell good people gathered here. Eastern sages seek him, in the darkness drear By a star illumined shining forth so clear, Guiding them to Bethlem far away. Nowell, sing nowell good people gathered here. Now doth our Saviour Jesus Christ appear, Bringing salvation promised many a year By his redeeming blood this happy day. Nowell, sing nowell good people gathered here.

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)
It is this opening thanksgiving, or eucharistia, which gives its name to the Great Thanksgiving.
The Great Thanksgiving Celebrant The Lord be with you. All And also with you.
Eucharistic Prayer B, BCP, p. 367
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. Because in the mystery of the Word made flesh, you have caused a new light to shine in our hearts, to give the knowledge of your glory in the face of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 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 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.
The Sanctus and Benedictus
12
S 128, William Mathias
All stand or kneel.
Celebrant
We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life. On the night before he died for us, 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.”
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.
Therefore, according to his command, O Father, All
We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;
Celebrant
And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine. We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation. 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.
13
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.

The Fraction Anthem
music: Picardy, 17th-century French carol words: from the Liturgy of St. James, c. 1st century A.D.; paraphrased by Gerard Moultrie (1829-1885)
Christians have seen in the breaking of the bread a symbol of the breaking of the Lord’s body on the cross.
14
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 Anthem
music: Peter Warlock (English, 1894-1930) words: Bruce Blunt (English, 1899-1957)
When he is King we will give him the Kings’ gifts, Myrrh for its sweetness, and gold for a crown, “Beautiful robes,” said the young girl to Joseph, Fair with her first-born on Bethlehem Down. Bethlehem Down is full of the starlight, Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold, Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold. When he is King they will clothe him in grave-sheets, Myrrh for embalming, and wood for a crown, He that lies now in the white arms of Mary, Sleeping so lightly on Bethlehem Down. Here he has peace and a short while for dreaming, Close-huddled oxen to keep him from cold, Mary for love, and for lullaby music Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.

To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen. The Blessing
