Welcome Collect of the day Celebrant: People: Celebrant:

All:

The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

Let us pray. God of the living law, whose will is to protect the weak and educate our desires: may we learn from you not to dominate or put aside but to give each other dignity and find in you our unity; through Jesus Christ, who makes us one household.

Amen.

Please be seated for the Lessons

The First Lesson Reader:

Genesis 2:18-24

A reading from the book of Genesis

The LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner.� So out of the ground the LORD God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every animal of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper as his partner. So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then he took one of his ribs and closed up 3

its place with flesh. And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman, for out of Man this one was taken.”

Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh.

Reader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People.

People: Thanks be to God.

Refrain (first time the Choral Scholars will lead, then congregation will join)

1

O LORD our Governor, * how exalted is your Name in all the world!

2

Out of the mouths of infants and children * your majesty is praised above the heavens.

3

You have set up a stronghold against your adversaries, * to quell the enemy and the avenger.

4

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, * the moon and the stars you have set in their courses,

Refrain 4

LEVAS #273

5

What is man that you should be mindful of him? * the son of man that you should seek him out?

6

You have made him but little lower than the angels; * you adorn him with glory and honor;

7 You give him mastery over the works of your hands; * you put all things under his feet: Refrain 8

All sheep and oxen, * even the wild beasts of the field,

9

The birds of the air, the fish of the sea, * and whatsoever walks in the paths of the sea.

10

O LORD our Governor, * how exalted is your Name in all the world!

Refrain

The second Lesson Reader:

Hebrews 1:1-4, 2:5-12

A reading from Hebrews

Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom he also created the worlds. He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being, and he sustains all things by his powerful word. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

Now God did not subject the coming world, about which we are speaking, to angels. But someone has testified somewhere, 5

“What are human beings that you are mindful of them, or mortals, that you care for them?

You have made them for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned them with glory and honor, subjecting all things under their feet.”

Now in subjecting all things to them, God left nothing outside their control.

As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to them, but we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

It was fitting that God, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father. For this reason Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters, saying, “I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters, in the midst of the congregation I will praise you.”

The Gospel Celebrant: People:

Mark 10:2-16 The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Some Pharisees came, and to test Jesus they asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” He answered them, “What did Moses command you?”

They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her.” But Jesus said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote this commandment for you. But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

Then in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them; and the disciples spoke sternly to them. But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it.” And he took them up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and blessed them.

Sermon 8

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The Rev. Dr. Lisa Tucker-Gray

Nicene Creed

The Book of Common Prayer p. 358

(Please stand as you are able.)

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.

Give us your life-giving Spirit. Restore those who struggle with broken relationships, personal crisis, or poor health, especially those we now name… (pause) Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

Give your Spirit of encouragement and strength to all who put the good of others before themselves: military personnel, emergency workers, medical professionals, social workers, advocates for the poor and aging. Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

As we remember the witness of the saints, make us a faithful community by your Spirit until the day when your Spirit gathers us all into your eternal reign. We pray for those who have died, especially those we now name… (pause) Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

The Confession of Sin & Absolution Celebrant:

Celebrant and People: Creator God, long-suffering, full of grace and truth, you create us from nothing and give us life abundant.

You give us new life in the water of baptism.

You never turn your face from us, nor cast us aside.

We confess we have turned against you and against our neighbor, in thought, word and deed.

We have wounded your love and marred your image in us.

Restore us for the sake of your Son, and bring us to heavenly joy, in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Celebrant:

All:

May the God of love bring you back to all that is good in you.

May you be forgiven of all wrongdoing and welcome God’s grace anew in your life this day.

The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

Lift up your hearts.

We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise.

Celebrant continues: All thanks and praise are yours at all times and in all places, our true and loving God; through Jesus Christ, your eternal Word, the Wisdom from on high by whom you created all things. You laid the foundations of the world and enclosed the sea when it burst out from the womb; you brought forth all creatures of the earth and gave breath to humankind.

Wondrous are you, Holy One of Blessing, all you create is a sign of hope for our journey; and so as the morning stars sing your praises we join the heavenly beings and all creation as we shout with joy: 12

Glory and honor are yours, Creator of all, your Word has never been silent; you called a people to yourself, as a light to the nations, you delivered them from bondage and led them to a land of promise. Of your grace, you gave Jesus to be human, to share our life, to proclaim the coming of your holy reign and give himself for us, a fragrant offering.

Through Jesus Christ our Redeemer, you have freed us from sin, brought us into your life, reconciled us to you, and restored us to the glory you intend for us.

We thank you that on the night before he died for us Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, gave it to his friends and said: “Take, eat, this is my Body, broken for you.

Do this for the remembrance of me.”

After supper Jesus took the cup of wine, said the blessing, gave it to his friends and said: “Drink this, all of you: this cup is the new Covenant in my Blood, poured out for you and for all for the forgiveness of sin.

Do this for the remembrance of me.”

13

And so, remembering all that was done for us: the cross, the tomb, the resurrection and ascension, longing for Christ’s coming in glory, and presenting to you these gifts your earth has formed and human hands have made, we acclaim you, O Christ: All:

Dying, you destroyed our death.

Rising, you restored our life.

Christ Jesus, come in glory!

Celebrant continues: Send your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts of bread and wine that they may be to us the Body and Blood of your Christ.

Grant that we, burning with your Spirit’s power, may be a people of hope, justice and love. Giver of Life, draw us together in the Body of Christ, and in the fullness of time gather us with all your people into the joy of our true eternal home.

Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, we worship you our God and Creator in voices of unending praise. Amen.

The Fraction: Breaking of the Bread & Invitation Celebrant: All:

We break this bread to share in the Body of Christ.

We who are many are one body, for we all share in the one bread.

Celebrant:

The gifts of God for the people of God. Holy food, for holy people.

(Please be seated until you are invited to come forward to receive communion.)

We welcome ALL to come forward to receive the bread and wine we offer as a sign of God’s love in and for our lives.

(We have bread, gluten-free wafers, wine, and grape juice.)

To receive the bread—put your hands together (palms up) in front of you.

Either eat the bread and drink from the chalice or dip the bread in the chalice.

If you are unable to come forward and wish to have Communion brought to you, please inform a greeter.

During communion, anyone who would like to have prayers said with/for them may go to the Healing Prayer station at the back of the worship space.

Healing prayer can take the form of asking for prayers for yourself or those you love. Healing prayer may also be a quiet time for you to seek out God’s love in silence.

All are welcome to take advantage of this opportunity, but no one is required; know that you are welcome and wanted just as you are.

Trinity Pages #LOVE IS THE WAY! Good morning and “welcome home” to Trinity!

Whether you are new to our community or have found yourself coming back again and again, we want you to know you are both welcome and wanted here among us.

This week (10/7)

10:00 Service 10:00 Service Reader Guild: Reader Guild: Jeff Habib Hugh Grefe Bettye Jo Hansbarger Marsha Manon Becky Roth Bob Meeker

For some, church is as comfortable and familiar as a good pair of jeans, or like coming back to your childhood home (if it is one filled with good memories). For others, church might be like visiting a foreign country where you experience unfamiliar language or customs. And then, sadly, for some church has become equated with feelings of hurt, rejection, or shame. We get all of that, and believe that church can be different.

Liturgical Assistants: Terry Kahler Taylor Tennant

We hold in real tension the beauty of our tradition with Jesus’ mandate to welcome all, no exceptions.

And we get that if people are brave enough to walk through the doors of a big, Gothic-looking church in downtown Toledo, we’d better be serious about being progressive, inclusive and creative.

We love our Episcopal tradition, but we love people from all walks of life even more. It is our hope and prayer that together we will navigate our way through each gathering, worship service, outreach activity, class, meal and social time with humility, grace and laughter.

So thank you for being here today; for trusting the yearning that brought you through those ancient doors.

May we all find our way into the heart of God’s love as we make room for each and all of us at the Table of love we set together week after week.

May you never forget you are loved,

Lisa (lisa@trinitytoledo.org) (Rector)
