The First Sunday after the Epiphany: The Baptism of Our Lord: Year C
13 January 2019 8:45 A.M. and 11:15 A.M. Holy Baptism and Holy Eucharist
8:45 a.m. The Reverend Canon Carolynne G. Williams, Celebrant The Very Reverend Samuel G. Candler, Preacher 11:15 a.m. The Reverend Canon Lauren R. Holder, Celebrant The Very Reverend Samuel G. Candler, 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 Book of Isaiah.
Thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my sight, and honored, and I love you, I give people in return for you, nations in exchange for your life. Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you; I will say to the north, “Give them up,” and to the south, “Do not withhold; bring my sons from far away and my daughters from the end of the earth— everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.” Lector All
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
8:45 a.m. only: Children who are age three (by September 1, 2018) through 3rd grade are invited to follow the acolytes and chapel leaders to the Children’s Chapel at this time. Children will return at the Thanksgiving over the Water. 3
“Collect,” from the Latin collecta, is the collecting of the congregation’s petitions into a single short prayer.

Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. Glory to you, Lord Christ.
As the people were filled with expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Messiah, John answered all of them by saying, “I baptize you with water; but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.” Gospeler All

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?
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)
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.
Question
Answer Question
Answer Question
Do you renounce Satan and all the spiritual forces of wickedness that rebel against God? I renounce them. Do you renounce the evil powers of this world which corrupt and destroy the creatures of God? I renounce them.

Question Answer
Do you turn to Jesus Christ and accept him as your Savior? I do.
Question Answer
Do you put your whole trust in his grace and love? I do.
Question Answer
Do you promise to follow and obey him as your Lord? I do.
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.
5
The celebrant asks two sets of three questions. The first set asks the candidates to renounce evil; the second to promise adherence to Christ.
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

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

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. 7
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 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
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.
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.

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:
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 Sanctus and Benedictus
Craig Phillips, Festival Eucharist

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

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.

January 13, 2019 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.
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 Thanksgiving over the Water. 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?” Being 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. This semester the High School Sunday School will discuss the practices and purposes of interfaith dialogue. We’ll build skills and capacities useful for conversation and discuss what kinds of groundwork is necessary for relationship building with persons from other religions and faiths. We’re excited to welcome you! 21
Our Youth Confirmation Program is on retreat to Camp Mikell this weekend. Small groups begins January 27. If you would like more information or still need to sign up your youth, please contact Maggie Paul. For more information on offerings for Youth at the Cathedral, contact Maggie Paul, mpaul@cathedralATL.org, 404-365-1080.
ADULT EDUCATION All classes meet at 10:10 a.m. unless otherwise noted.
Old Fashioned Sunday School—Child Hall Canon George Maxwell continues a series focusing on what Paul, the apostle, was actually doing and why. This Sunday, we’ll resume our discussion about Paul’s time in Athens. We’ll focus on his “Areopagus address” as a way of getting to Paul’s views of the relationship between God and the world. 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). Small Group Bible Study—Room 122 Jim Bingham and Gordon Mathis lead this ongoing small group Bible Study focusing on a particular book of the Bible for several months at a time. 1:15 p.m., The Enjoyment of Biblical Greek—Room 356 Open to beginners, this class includes long-term members who use translation aids including lexicons and commentaries to enjoy how probing the Greek of New Testament texts adds nuance and depth to reading Holy Scripture. For more information, contact The Rev. Dr. Thee Smith (404-365-1093, tsmith@ cathedralATL.org).
