Welcome to St. Paul’s ChapelPlease add your voice and heart to the prayers. Everyone is welcome at Jesus’ Table, and everyone’s voice is needed to tell the Good News of God’s love in Christ. Please help others find a place near you, and greet the person next to you as we prepare to worship together.

If you would like to pray with someone confidentially, for yourself or others, go to the altar rail during communion time.

About this ServiceDr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on January 15, 1929. A third-generation preacher, he combined his deep faith with a passionate commitment to social justice. King spearheaded non-violent mass demonstrations against racism, and his campaigns were instrumental to the passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964, 1965 and 1968. He faced constant and oftentimes violent opposition, being jailed 30 times and eventually assassinated. Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech delivered at the 1963 March on Washington, D. C. remains a pinnacle of inspirational rhetoric. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, celebrated on the third Monday of January each year, became a federal holiday in 1983 and, along with September 11, is recognized as a national day of service.

The Liturgy of the WordThe First Reading Genesis 37:17b-20 GWMV p. 167, adapted

Reader A Reading from the Book of Genesis.

One day, Joseph’s father, Jacob, sent him to check on his brothers, who were out in the field with the flock of sheep. Joseph’s brothers were jealous of him because they thought their father liked him best. When they saw him coming, before he got too close, they cooked up a plot to hurt him. They said to one another, “Here comes the dreamer. Come on; let’s throw him into a deep pit, and then lie to everyone and say a wild animal has eaten him up. Then we’ll see what becomes of his dreams.”

The Word of the Lord.People Thanks be to God.

The Holy Gospel Luke 6:27-36 GWMV p. 392, adapted

Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Deacon Jesus said, “Listen to me, my people. Love your enemies. Be good to those who hate you. If they curse you, bless them instead. Pray for them. If they hit you in the face, don’t strike back, but offer them your other cheek as well. Don’t just give your coat to someone who asks for it, but your shirt, too. Help the people who beg on the street. Give without expecting to be repaid. Treat people the way you would want them to treat you.

“It’s easy to love people who love you, and do good to people who do good to you—even sinners do that. If you only lend to people so you can borrow something from them in the future, should you be proud of that? Instead, love your enemies. Do good to everyone, and don’t expect anything in return when you lend. If you act like that, you’ll receive a great reward one day. You’ll be acting like true children of God, because God is kind to even the most ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father in heaven is merciful.”

The Gospel of the Lord.People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Sanctus WLP 785

Words: Variation on a traditional liturgical text; Music: Composer of melody unknown; arr. based on a two-part version as taught by Pablo D. Sosa (b. 1933)

Celebrant Holy and gracious God: In your infinite love you made us for yourself; when we had wandered far from you and fallen into sin, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, and to reconcile us to you through his perfect sacrifice.

On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Savior Jesus took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his friends, 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 we proclaim the mystery of faith:

All Christ has died. Christ is risen.

Christ will come again.

Celebrant We celebrate your loving mercy, O God, with praise and thanksgiving. Remembering how Jesus died, and rose again, and ascended to you in heaven, we offer you these gifts.

Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the holy food and drink of new and unending life in your Son. Sanctify us also, that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and be strengthened to serve you together in peace. At the last day, bring us with all your saints into the never-ending joy of your kingdom.

All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever.

All AMEN.

The Lord’s Prayer BCP p. 364

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

Please stand as you are able.

Celebrant Let us pray.All Eternal God, heavenly Father,

you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood. Send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Blessing Celebrant Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who make the

journey with us. So be swift to love, and make haste to be kind. And the blessing of God, who made us, who loves us, and who travels with us, be with you now and for ever.

All Amen.

Is Trinity in Your Estate Planning?Over the past 320 years, bequests by parishioners and friends have made an important contribution to Trinity’s financial foundation, extending the parish’s ministry in our neighborhood and throughout the world. You can be part of this legacy by joining those who have declared their support of Trinity’s future ministry and mission by remembering Trinity Church Wall Street in their estate plans. You will then be inducted into The Trinity Charter Society, whose members have their names inscribed in the Trinity Memorial Book in the Chapel of All Saints and receive invitations to special events. (One is coming up soon.) If you have provided for Trinity in your Will, IRA, insurance policy, or through another type of planned gift and would like to become a member of The Trinity Charter Society, please contact Willem Brans, Director of Development, at 212.602.9692 or [email protected].

The Sisters are InWeekdays, Trinity ChurchFive days a week, for an hour each day, a Sister of St. Margaret sits quietly in a pew, waiting for anyone who needs to talk, pray, or just sit quietly with someone. “Sister Gloria and I share this ministry,” Sister Ann Whittaker, SSM, said. “I firmly believe people in the world need someone to listen to them in a non-judgmental way. But it also takes courage for the person speaking to come and do it!” The sisters are in most weekday mornings or afternoons before or after the 12:05pm service.

Congregational Voice“Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the

truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end” (1 Corinthians 13:4-8). This is my favorite Bible verse because it is the true definition of love. —Santia E. Pelliccia

Prayer RequestsPrayer requests may be found on a separate card printed weekly and located at the back of the churches. The list is cleared at the end of each month. To add names to the list, email [email protected].
