A Liturgical Staycation … and The Scottish Episcopal Church

During the summer months, our worship takes a “liturgical vacation.” We’re utilizing the worship space at St. Helens Hall, and adapting a liturgy from Scotland. We may be staying home, but that doesn’t mean we’re staying put.

The Scottish Episcopal Church has a proud lineage. Their website puts it this way:

The Scottish Episcopal Church is a deeply Scottish Church whose history is interwoven with the whole story of Christianity in Scotland – back to the Celtic Saints like Ninian and Columba and through the Scottish Reformation and all the turbulence which followed.

The Scottish Episcopal Church is passionate about its membership of the Anglican Communion and has a global vision of its place in the world church.

We are similarly proud of our lineage. Our own Episcopal Church values our connections to that wider Anglican Communion even as we celebrate our independence from any external hierarchy.

In the 18th century, our colonial forebears turned to the Scots when separating from England. Scottish bishops ordained two of our first bishops. In return, they asked us to adopt elements of their Eucharistic Prayers. Liturgical nuances in our modern Prayer Book come to us from that early agreement, very subtly distinguishing our services from those used within the Church of England.

Liturgical reforms:

The particular prayers used this morning are adapted from two primary resources of the Scottish Episcopal Church – the “Scottish Liturgy 1982” (subsequently augmented by additional Eucharistic Prayers, including the one used here, in 1996) and “A Service of the Word 2015.”

Our service adds local adaptations, taking encouragement (in part) from the Scottish Episcopal Church’s example of continuing to adapt and see their own liturgies evolve.

THE FOURTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST June 28, 2020

Holy Eucharist – 10 AM

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD

Prelude “Westminster Abbey” arr. by Charles Callahan

After the prelude, a bell is rung three times. This ringing of the bell does not merely announce the start of the liturgy; it is a call to quiet ourselves.

We hope you will take advantage of this invitation to be still.

Welcome and Summary of the Law

The celebrant offers a word of welcome, saying

Grace and peace to you from God our Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The celebrant continues

Our Lord Jesus Christ said: The first commandment is this:

"Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is the only Lord. You shall 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 neighbour as yourself." There is no other commandment greater than these.

People Amen. Lord, have mercy.

4

Processional Hymn “Christ is made the sure foundation” Hymnal 518

Collect of the Day

Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you.

Celebrant Let us pray. (silence)

Almighty God, you have built your Church upon the foundation of the apostles

and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone: Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their teaching, that we may be made a holy temple acceptable to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

5

First Reading – Jeremiah 28:5-9

The appointed readings follow, the reader first saying

A Reading from the Book of Jeremiah.

The prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the

priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD; and the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD do so; may the LORD fulfill the words that you have prophesied, and bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the house of the LORD, and all the exiles.

“But listen now to this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people. The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms. As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes true, then it will be known that the LORD has truly sent the prophet.”

At the conclusion of the reading, the lector says

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

6

The Psalm – Psalm 89:1-4, 15-18

The People sing the Psalm following what is known as “Simplified Anglican Chant.” Each half-verse of the Psalm is sung on the reciting note up to the last accented syllable (in bold print below). If there are an odd number of verses, the last verse repeats the final two bars.

1 Your love, O LORD, for ever will I sing; *

from age to age my mouth will proclaim your faithfulness.

2 For I am persuaded that your love is established for ever; * you have set your faithfulness firmly in the heavens.

3 "I have made a covenant with my chosen one; * I have sworn an oath to David my servant:

4 'I will establish your line for ever, * and preserve your throne for all gener-ations.'"

15 Happy are the people who know the festal shout! * they walk, O LORD, in the light of your presence.

16 They rejoice daily in your Name; * they are jubilant in your righteousness.

17 For you are the glory of their strength, * and by your favor our might is ex-alted.

18 Truly, the LORD is our ruler; * the Holy One of Israel is our King.

7

Second Reading – Romans 6:12-23

A lector reads the second reading from Scripture, first saying

A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans.

Do not let sin exercise dominion in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their

passions. No longer present your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and present your members to God as instruments of righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that you, having once been slaves of sin, have become obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which you were entrusted, and that you, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. I am speaking in human terms because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification.

When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. So what advantage did you then get from the things of which you now are ashamed? The end of those things is death. But now that you have been freed from sin and enslaved to God, the advantage you get is sanctification. The end is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

At the conclusion of the reading, the lector says

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

Gospel Hymn “Day by day” Hymnal 654

As the Gospel Book is brought forward, the following is sung.

Gospel – Matthew 10:40-42

Gospeler The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Jesus said, “Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes

me welcomes the one who sent me. Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous; and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple -- truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.”

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

Sermon – The Rev. Jedediah Holdorph

Affirmation of Faith

An Affirmation is said, all standing (as they are able).

Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: * the divine nature was his from the first:

Yet he did not grasp at equality with God; * he emptied himself and became like a slave.

Taking the nature of man he was revealed in human form; * he humbled himself and became obedient even to death, death on a cross.

Therefore God has raised him on high, * and has given him a name above every other name;

So that in the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, * in heaven, on earth, and in the depths;

And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord; * to the glory of God the Almighty.

(from Philippians 2)

Intercessions

Prayer is offered for the world and its people, for those who suffer and those in need, and for the Church and its members.

The leader and people pray responsively. Particular intercessions and thanksgivings may be offered by the leader of the prayer and by members of the congregation in the times of silence.

Leader O God, the Maker and Sustainer of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom you chose us, before the foundation of the world, and destined us in love to be your own: help us to pray for all your children.

For the life of the world; that your peace may be known and may prevail:

For …

Lord, hear us. People Lord, graciously hear us.

10

Leader For all who suffer injury, death or loss; that they may know the hope to which you call us:

For those entrusted to our prayers …

Lord, hear us. People Lord, graciously hear us.

Leader For all who exercise rule and authority; that they may acknowledge your power:

For …

Lord, hear us. People Lord, graciously hear us.

Leader For the Church which is Christ’s body; that it may live for the praise of your glory:

For …

Lord, hear us. People Lord, graciously hear us.

The Celebrant adds “A Prayer for the Power of the Spirit among the People of God” or some other concluding Collect.

God of all power and love, we give thanks for your unfailing presence and the

hope you provide in times of uncertainty and loss. Send your Holy Spirit to enkindle in us your holy fire. Revive us to live as Christ’s body in the world: a people who pray, worship, learn, break bread, share life, heal neighbors, bear good news, seek justice, rest and grow in the Spirit. Wherever and however we gather, unite us in common prayer and send us in common mission, that we and the whole creation might be restored and renewed, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

11

The Peace As able, all stand and prepare to greet one another in the Lord’s name, the Celebrant first saying

The peace of God be always with you. People And also with you.

Please greet any who may be near with a word of peace.

Birthday/Anniversary Blessings (along with other special prayers/announcements)

We offer prayers for members of the congregation who celebrate birthdays and/or anniversaries this week.

For birthdays:

Holy God, holy and strong, holy and immortal, have mercy on these your children. God of unfailing mercy, by whom nothing is ever made in vain: look in compassion on these children of your love, and complete in them the work you have begun; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For anniversaries:

God the Holy Trinity, preserve and keep you: the blessing of God be upon you, that good may come to you; the blessing of Christ be upon you, that good be done to you; the blessing of the Holy Spirit be yours, that good may be the course of your life, each day of your arising, each night of your lying down,

for evermore. Amen.

12

THE LITURGY OF THE SACRAMENT

Offertory Music “O Lord, My Trust in in Thy Mercy”

King Hall

While the table is prepared, members of the congregation may make offerings of money. If you are able to support the ongoing life of this congregation, please continue to offer a check or use your credit card as you have in the past. If you’d like, you may also make a gift online.

Once the table is prepared, the People sing the following, using the tune of Hymn 380.

Be present at our table, Lord: Be here and everywhere adored; These creatures bless; and grant that we may feast in fellowship with thee. Amen.

The Great Thanksgiving

The people remain standing. The celebrant says or sings

The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Lift up your hearts. People We lift them to the Lord. Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People It is right to offer thanks and praise.

The celebrant continues

Worship and praise belong to you, O God, in every place and at all times. You made us, all the people of the world, and everything that is.

You give us the daylight. Your Word lights up our minds. Jesus was born among us to be light in our darkness.

Your Spirit lives in us so that we can look at the world with your eyes.

One day we will be with you in heaven, but already we laugh with the saints and angels, and sing their joyful song:

13

The celebrant continues

You never forget us, O Holy One, or turn away from us, even when we fail you. You sent your Son Jesus who gave his life for us. He healed those who were sick, cared for those who were poor, and cried with those who grieved. He forgave sinners and taught us to forgive.

For all your love we give you thanks in the way that Jesus showed us.

On the night before he died, while he was having supper with his friends, he took bread and offered you thanks. He broke the bread, and gave it to them, saying: "Take, eat. This is my Body: it is broken for you."

After supper, he took the cup, he offered you thanks, and gave it to them saying: "Drink this, all of you. This is my Blood of the new covenant; it is poured out for you, and for all. Do this in remembrance of me."

14

So, as we do what he told us, we open our hearts to him; we remember how he died and rose again to live now in us.

Together with him we offer you these gifts: in them we give you ourselves.

Send your Holy Spirit on us and on this bread and this wine, that they may be the Body and Blood of Christ, and that, sharing your life, we may travel in your company to our journey's end.

With all your people we give you thanks and praise through the Son and in the Spirit, now and for ever.

People Amen.

Lord’s Prayer

Presider As our Savior Christ has taught us, we now pray,

All Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name,

your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours,

now and for ever. Amen.

15

Breaking of the Bread The Celebrant breaks the consecrated Bread. A period of silence is kept. Then may be sung

Facing the people, the Celebrant says the following or some other words of Invitation

The Gifts of God for the People of God.

and may add Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.

Communion Music “Eucharistic Hymn” arr. by Charles Callahan

16

Prayer after Communion

The ancient tradition of the Church reminds us that when it is impossible to be present at a celebration of the Eucharist, and to receive Holy Communion, the desire to be united with Christ (and the People of God) in the Sacrament is enough for God to grant all the spiritual benefits of Communion. The presider invites the following prayer to be said by all:

Since I cannot at this time receive communion, I pray you to come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and let nothing separate me from you: come and dwell in the fullness of your strength; be my wisdom, and guide me in right pathways; conform my life and actions to the image of your holiness; and in the power of your gracious might, rule over every hostile power that threatens or disturbs the growth of your kingdom; who with the Father and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

(following James Koester, SSJE, adapt. from Saint Augustine’s Prayer Book)

The Blessing of God’s People

The celebrant offers the following, or some other, blessing.

God go before you to lead you. God go behind you to protect you. God go beneath you to support you. God go beside you to befriend you.

And so may the blessing of Almighty God – most holy, glorious, and undivided Trinity – come upon you and settle in around you.

People Amen.

Recessional Hymn “O Jesus, I have promised” see next page

Dismissal

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. People In the name of Christ. Amen.
