And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.

Jesus said, "The first commandment is this: Hear, O Israel: The Lord your God is the only Lord. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these."

BCP 355

BCP 360 Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone.

We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.

We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.

For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

THE FIRST LESSON Reader

Isaiah 55:1-5 A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.

Thus says the Lord: "Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you that have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. See, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples. See, you shall call nations that you do not know, and nations that do not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you."

Reader The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God.

PSALM 145: 8-9, 15-22

chant: Joseph Barnby The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, * slow to anger and of great kindness.

The Lord is loving to everyone * and his compassion is over all his works.

The Lord upholds all those who fall; * he lifts up those who are bowed down.

The eyes of all wait upon you, O Lord, * and you give them their food in due season.

You open wide your hand * and satisfy the needs of every living creature.

The Lord is righteous in all his ways * and loving in all his works.

The Lord is near to those who call upon him, * to all who call upon him faithfully.

He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; * he hears their cry and helps them.

The Lord preserves all those who love him, * but he destroys all the wicked.

My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord; * let all flesh bless his holy Name for ever and ever.

THE SECOND LESSON Reader

Romans 9:1-5 A reading from Paul’s letter to the Romans.

I am speaking the truth in Christ-- I am not lying; my conscience confirms it by the Holy Spirit-- I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my own people, my kindred according to the flesh. They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, comes the Messiah, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

THE GOSPEL Deacon

People

Matthew 14:13-21 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Jesus withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” Jesus said to them, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” They replied, “We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.” And he said, “Bring them here to me.” Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

THE NICENE CREED

Deacon & People

BCP 358 We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father.

Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.

He has spoken through the Prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

THE ANTHEM

Jeffrey Smith

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

THE LORD’S PRAYER Celebrant

Celebrant & People

BCP 364 And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, 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.

VOLUNTARY CLOSING REMARKS

Trumpet Tune

David Urrows The Very Rev. Troy D. Mendez, Dean

Notes on this morning’s music: George Shearing (1919-2011) was one of the most well-known jazz pianists of his era. As a composer, he is known for his hundreds of popular titles, including the jazz standard "Lullaby of Birdland."

Shearing's interest in classical music resulted in some performances with concert orchestras in the 1950s and 1960s, and his solos frequently drew upon the music of Satie, Delius, and Debussy for inspiration. He became known for a piano technique known as "The Shearing Sound", a type of double melody block chord, with an additional fifth part that doubles the melody an octave lower. In the late 1970s, Shearing produced his only foray into classical church music, a volume of organ pieces based on American folk tunes from which this morning’s prelude is taken.

The South African Alleluia verse we have been singing in our online services was transcribed from oral tradition by Gobinga George Mxadana who was born in Soweto, Johannesburg, in 1948. The founder of the Imilonji KaNtu Choral Society with which he is synonymous, Mxadana has earned enormous respect for his achievements with the group. Most significantly, the choir led the indigenization of choir competition performance, in both song and dress. Mxadana was also the first black chairperson of the International Eisteddfod of South Africa. He is the chair of the Old Mutual/Telkom National Choir Festival, the deputy chair of the Arts and Culture Trust and a member of several music and cultural boards in South Africa. Mxadana grew up in a township community where music was a way of life. An altar boy during his youth, he was exposed to his love, church music, from an early age. He achieved a significant milestone in 1982 with the formation of the Imilonji KaNtu Choral Society. The choir, rooted in the South African struggle for democracy, provided comfort during the dark days of apartheid and joy in the transition to democracy. The choir actively supported democratic-movement organizations like unions, churches and civic groups, earning it the accolade “People’s Choir”.

David Francis Urrows (b. 1957) was educated at Brandeis University, the University of Edinburgh and Boston University. His principal teachers were Randall Thompson and Kenneth Leighton. He also studied with Harold Shapero, David del Tredici, Girolamo Arrigo, Donald Martino, and Arthur Berger. He currently teaches music history, and music theory at Hong Kong baptist University. His current research interests include the history of the pipe organ in China (part of The Pipe Organ in China Project, 1989- ), as well as 19th Century studies, in particular of German emigre musicians in the United States.
