Welcome to Trinity Episcopal Church We are a faith community welcoming all and affirming the many diverse and wonderful ways God has made us. Wherever you find yourself on your journey, know that this is your sacred home today, shared by others who are caring and committed to being a welcoming, expansive, generous, risk-taking community for the sake of finding, experiencing and spreading God’s love. May you find both sanctuary and Sabbath this day, and may you never forget that you are loved.

Invitation & Instructions for Receiving Holy Communion Here at Trinity we welcome all to the Table set for us at the time of Communion.

As a sign and symbol of solidarity with all who are living with addiction we have decided to serve only non-alcoholic wine. We hope this communicates our collective desire to welcome all.

To receive the bread (or gluten-free wafer), please put your hands together palms up. To receive the non- alcoholic wine, you may either drink directly from the cup or dip the bread in the cup before eating.

During the time of Communion, we also offer individual prayer at the back of the church and all are welcome to make use of this special time for prayer requests.

The Holy Eucharist Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany

RITE TWO

February 17, 2019

10:00 A.M.

The season of Epiphany is about celebrating how God has shown God’s own self to us through the person, acts and teachings of Jesus.

The Epiphany recognizes and celebrates several things, all connected with the beginnings of Jesus Christ’s work of manifesting (revealing) God. The Feast of Epiphany refers first to the coming of the Wise Men to Jesus. Here we celebrate the revelation of Jesus Christ to the whole world. This is a celebration of the mystery of promise.

The theme of this season is Jesus Christ’s manifesting God to humans. In this way, Epiphany has a deeper meaning than Christmas, for instead of simply celebrating the birth of Christ, it testifies to the whole purpose of the incarnation: the manifestation of God in Jesus Christ beginning with his birth (and recognition by the Magi) and with his baptism and ministry.

During these weeks in Epiphany, we hear of Jesus’ mighty signs (miracles) and teachings as he lives out this manifestation of God. As we hear these stories, we commemorate those works and teachings of Jesus which led up to the final events in Jerusalem—his death and resurrection.

WELCOME Collect of the Day Celebrant: The Lord be with you.

People: And also with you.

Celebrant: Let us pray.

God of blessing and woe, disturbing the deadly order of the world: give us faith tested in poverty, hunger for what really satisfies, eyes softened by tears and hearts ready to laugh at all that is false and pompous that we might be witnesses to the dignity of life; through Jesus Christ, who turns the world upside down. Amen.

(Please be seated for the Lessons.)

The First Lesson Reader:

Jeremiah 17:5-10

A reading from Jeremiah.

Thus says the LORD: Cursed are those who trust in mere mortals and make mere flesh their strength, whose hearts turn away from the LORD. They shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when relief comes. They shall live in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. Blessed are those who trust in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. They shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the stream. It shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay green; in the year of drought it is not anxious, and it does not cease to bear fruit. The heart is devious above all else; it is perverse-- who can understand it? I the LORD test the mind and search the heart, to give to all according to their ways, according to the fruit of their doings.

Reader: People:

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

Thanks be to God.

Psalm

Psalm 1

The Psalm will be chanted antiphonally by half-verse. A single voice will sing the first half of each verse, and the congregation is invited to join in singing the second half in bold.

1

Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel of the / wicked, * nor lingered in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seats of / the scornful!

2 Their

delight is in the law of / the LORD, * and they meditate on his law / day and night.

3

They are like trees planted by streams of water, bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that do not / wither; * everything they do / shall prosper.

4

It is not so with the / wicked; * they are like chaff which the wind / blows away.

5

Therefore the wicked shall not stand upright when / judgment comes, * nor the sinner in the council of / the righteous.

6

For the LORD knows the way of / the righteous, * but the way of the / wicked is doomed.

The second Lesson Reader:

1 Corinthians 15:12-20

A reading from 1 Corinthians.

Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ--whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have died in Christ have perished. If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.

But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died.

Reader: People:

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

Thanks be to God.

The Gospel Celebrant: People:

Luke 6:17-26 The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Jesus came down with the twelve apostles and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast of Tyre and Sidon. They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. And all in the crowd were trying to touch him, for power came out from him and healed all of them.

Then he looked up at his disciples and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled.

“Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

“Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets."

"But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.

"Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry.

"Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep.

"Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false prophets."

Celebrant: People:

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to You, Lord Christ.

Affirmation of Faith

(Please stand as you are able.)

(From Liturgy for the Whole Church: Multigenerational Resources, by Susan Bock, Church Publishing, 2008)

We believe in God who said, “Let there be light,” and there was!

With that light, God made the world and all people in whom, and through whom, the Light burns on, strong and true.

We believe!

We believe in Jesus, the true Light, who went down to darkness to overcome death, and rose again, to unveil our own brightness, in the victory of whose love a path shines home to God’s heart where all will live forever.

We believe!

We believe in the Spirit, blazing with hope, speaking the truth into every darkness, warming our lives with God’s gifts and call.

We believe!

We believe in the church, where God’s Light is praised, and from where we are sent to love and serve the world.

We believe!

We ask today that a gentle breath blow from above on the light that is in us, the light that is among us, and enflame us anew with the courage of love.

Enflame us, O God! Amen.

THE CONFESSION OF SIN & ABSOLUTION (From the Blog Wonderings Through Life and Other Such Nonsense by Pastor Nancy Gowler Johnson)

Celebrant:

The prophet speaks of the coming light of God which calls all the people of the Earth to come together in God’s realm of shalom.

Let us confess the ways in which we have rejected God’s vision of wholeness.

Celebrant and People: God of light and darkness, we have seen the glimmer of your star-light beckoning to us, but we have turned away and followed other paths.

We confess that we have not loved you with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind, and with all our strength.

We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.

Forgive us, Holy One. Strengthen our faltering steps and guide us in your holy way of peace.

Celebrant: People:

Lift up your eyes and see the grace of God poured out into our lives.

The light of God shines through the darkness.

Our hearts rejoice for Christ is in our midst. Amen.

THE PEACE Celebrant: People:

The peace of the Lord be always with you.

And also with you.

The Great Thanksgiving Celebrant: People: Celebrant: People: Celebrant: People:

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: Truly it is right and good to glorify you at all times and in all places, by offering you our thanksgiving, O Lord. You spoke and the light shattered darkness, order arose from confusion. You breathed into the dust of the earth and we were formed in your image.

Through your Son, our Lord Jesus, you came to us while we wandered.

He met us as a refugee, a threatened child.

He called us by name to leave what is comfortable to be his disciples, friends and partners.

With his outstretched arms on the cross, and through his death he bore our sins and through his resurrection we are saved.

And through your Holy Spirit you brood over the chaos we create, mothering us and shaping a new creation.

You enlighten everyone coming into the world.

You inspired the prophets and the apostles to find the right word at the right time.

You liberate, equip and commission your people for the continuance of your mission to make everything new.

Therefore, with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven we proclaim and sing your glory:

Sanctus

Holy, Holy, Holy

Celebrant continues: Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night in which he was betrayed, took the bread and when he had given thanks to you, broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take, eat: this is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.

The same way after supper, he took the cup and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them saying: 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. Do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.

Celebrant and People:

Lord, we commemorate your death on the cross, we celebrate your resurrection, and we await your coming in glory.

Eternal God, let your Holy Spirit move in power over us and over these earthly gifts of bread and wine, that they may be the communion of the body and blood of Christ, and that we may become one in him. May his coming in glory find us ever watchful in prayer, strong in truth and love, and faithful in the breaking of the bread. Then, at last, all peoples will be free, all divisions healed, and with your whole creation, we will sing your praise, through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Through Christ, with Christ, in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor are yours, almighty God, for ever and ever. AMEN.

Celebrant:

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say:

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.

Reader Guild: Dave Beckwith Bettye Jo Hansbarger Bob Meeker

10:00 Reader Guild: Elizabeth Cousino Darrell Cousino Becky Roth

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.

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.

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.

And may you never forget you are loved,

Toledo Streets Newspaper A note from TSN: Toledo Streets Newspaper follows a model that over 110 other street papers in the world use.

The people that come to Toledo Streets are normally disenfranchised, impoverished, and marginalized. When they come to Toledo Streets, they have the opportunity to become their own business owner. They buy papers from us for 25¢ and ask for a donation of $1. We also help vendors by discussing their goals and walking with them through the journey to meet their goals. At Toledo Streets, our main goal goes far beyond selling papers. We aim to recognize dignity and visibility to people who are often stripped of it. We aim to remind vendors that they have inherent value simply by being who they are and working with them to rebuild the self-esteem that society has often destroyed.

Last year, we helped to house 6 vendors and 7 vendors obtained full time employment.

Our vendors took home almost $75,000 in reported profits. We also determined that our vendors who worked at 200 hours in 2018, made an average of $10.44 an hour. We are proud of the work we are doing and grateful for community partners like Trinity Episcopal Church that support us in our mission to make provide a safe community for everyone that walks through our doors.
