The Last Sunday after the Epiphany: Year C
3 March 2019 ď ˜ 8:45 A.M. and 11:15 A.M. Holy Baptism and Holy Eucharist
The Reverend Canon Catherine Zappa, 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.

Amen. The Lesson
Exodus 34:29-35
All sit.
Lector
A Reading from The Book of Exodus.
Moses came down from Mount Sinai. As he came down from the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God. When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face was shining, and they were afraid to come near him. But Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke with them. Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face; but whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he would take the veil off, until he came out; and when he came out, and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, the Israelites would see the face of Moses, that the skin of his face was shining; and Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him. 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.

“Collect,” from the Latin collecta, is the collecting of the congregation’s petitions into a single short prayer.
The Gospel procession has often been seen as symbolic of the Word coming to the people. Standing to hear the Gospel honors what is heard.

Luke 9:26-43a

All
The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. Glory to you, Lord Christ.
About eight days after Peter had acknowledged Jesus as the Christ of God, Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him. They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep; but since they had stayed awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said. While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud. Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!” When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and in those days told no one any of the things they had seen. 4
On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. Just then a man from the crowd shouted, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son; he is my only child. Suddenly a spirit seizes him, and all at once he shrieks. It convulses him until he foams at the mouth; it mauls him and will scarcely leave him. I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.” Jesus answered, “You faithless and perverse generation, how much longer must I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.” While he was coming, the demon dashed him to the ground in convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. And all were astounded at the greatness of God. Gospeler All

The Sermon
Canon Maxwell
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.

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

Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being? I will, with God’s help.

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. 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.
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.
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 HOLY COMMUNION The offering today, the first Sunday of the month, is designated for the Discretionary Fund for the Needy.
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 Offertory The Offertory Anthem

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

Craig Phillips, Festival Eucharist
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.

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 Communion
All may 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 may 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: David Hurd (b. 1950), O the Depth of Love Divine words: Charles Wesley (1707-1788)
O the depth of Love Divine, Th’Unfathomable Grace! Who shall say how bread and wine God into man conveys? How the bread his flesh imparts, How the wine transmits his blood, Fills his faithful peoples’ hearts With all the life of God! Let the wisest mortal shew How we the grace receive: Feeble elements bestow A power not theirs to give: Who explains the wondrous way? How through these the virtue came? These the virtue did convey, Yet still remain the same. How can heavenly spirits rise By earthly matter fed, Drink herewith divine supplys And eat immortal bread? Ask the Father’s wisdom how, Him that did the means ordain, Angels round our altars bow To search it out, in vain. Sure and real is the grace, The manner be unknown; Only meet us in thy ways And perfect us in one. Let us taste the heavenly powers, Lord, we ask for nothing more. Thine to bless, ’tis only ours To wonder, and adore.

Immortal Diamond: The Search for our True Self—Room 239 Join Canon Carolynne Williams this morning through Sunday, March 10, for a discussion on Richard Rohr’s book, Immortal Diamond: The Search for Our True Self. Rohr writes: “We are all looking for an immortal diamond: something utterly reliable, something loyal and true.” II John 2 reminds us of the “truth that abides in us,” but most of us know little about this, so we end up as St. Augustine admits: “Late have I loved you! You were within, but I was without.” Living Faith Adult Confirmation Series: The Anglican Way of Christianity—Room 120 “Falling in Love with the Church Again.” Those wishing to participate in this class in order to be confirmed, re-affirmed or received should contact Canon Lauren Holder and mark your calendars for our April 28 confirmation service.

You will find a light heart, warm welcome, and good coffee!
