WELCOME TO TRINITY EPISCOPAL CHURCH

It is our prayer that in worshipping with us today, you will know

the joy, love, and power of the Lord, and the warmth and caring

of our Trinity family. May you be strengthened and blessed

with the power of daily ministry in Christ.

NEW PEOPLE ARE A JOY TO US Because our service is different for many, Trinity members are

encouraged to help those near them and visitors are urged to ask for

assistance. Together, we all join in worship. If you are a Visitor,

at the Altar Rail. Please put your hands out palms up to receive the

bread (allergy free wafers are available). You may then drink from the

large chalice or dip your bread into the small chalice. If you would

rather not receive today, cross your arms over your heart and the

minister will know to give you a blessing. Please notify an Usher if

you need to have Holy Communion brought to you in your pew.

A HANDICAPPED-ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE RAMP is on the Trinity Place (east) side of the building.

Wheelchair seating is available on the outer edges

A LITURGICAL NOTE

Following the tradition of the early church, we come together

today to be anointed, to pray for each other and to lay hands on

each other in the Name of Christ. Healing is both a private and

community process. During our healing service, the clergy are

joined by one or two lay healing ministers. The clergy perform a

sacramental healing prayer and anointing. The lay persons will

pray silently and lay hands on the person in company with the

clergy. The sacramental aspect of the healing is enhanced by the

participation and prayer of fellow parishioners who feel called to

pray for your healing. Each of us receives the Spirit of God in a

unique way. During the laying on of hands, we suggest that you

simply relax and allow God’s healing power to enter you wholly:

mind, body and spirit.

This order of service is taken from Enriching Our Worship.

8:00 – HEALING & HOLY EUCHARIST (spoken)

10:00 – HEALING & HOLY EUCHARIST (choral)

THE PREPARATION

During the prelude, join in prayer as we prepare our hearts for worship.

Celebrant: The Lord be with you.

People: And also with you.

Celebrant: Let us pray.

Celebrant & People: Almighty and everlasting God, who in the

Paschal mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation:

Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of

Christ's Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by

their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns

with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

GOSPEL John 20:19-31 Bible 1136

HOMILY Tom Henninger, Gideon’s International

NICENE CREED (said in unison, standing)

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,

was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary

and became truly human.

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,

who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified,

who 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.

Holy Trinity, one God, in you we live and move and have our

Ocean, and for Our Parish Partner, Saint Magnus of Lerwick,

Shetland Islands, Scotland; for this gathering; and for all ministers

and people. Amen.

A period of silence follows.

The Celebrant concludes the Prayers this Collect

O Lord our God, accept the fervent prayers of your people; in the

multitude of your mercies look with compassion upon us and all

who turn to you for help; for you are gracious, O lover of souls,

and to you we give glory, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and

for ever. Amen.

CONFESSION OF SIN

Let us confess our sins to God.

Silence may be kept.

Minister and People: God of all mercy, we confess that we have

sinned against you, opposing your will in our lives. We have

denied your goodness in each other, in ourselves, and in the

world you have created. We repent of the evil that enslaves us,

the evil we have done, and the evil done on our behalf. Forgive,

restore, and strengthen us through our Savior Jesus Christ, that

we may abide in your love and serve only your will. Amen.

The Bishop when present, or the Priest, stands and says

Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins

through the grace of Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness,

and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

CONFESSION OF NEED

Let us confess our need for God’s healing grace.

Silence

Minister and People: Compassionate God, we confess our

weaknesses and our need for your strengthening touch. We

confess that some illnesses stem from our own fault, while others

are beyond our control. We turn to you, source of life, and ask in

the name of our Savior Jesus Christ for the gifts of true healing

and life in you. Amen.

Page 11: We include all in worship to be strengthened and blessed ... · 4/8/2018  · PRELUDE Lute Concerto in D, RV93 Antonio Vivaldi I. Allegro giusto (1678-1741) HYMN 212 AWAKE, ARISE

10

Minister: May the God of love visit you in your times of trial and

weakness, and raise you to newness of life, through Jesus Christ, in

the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

LAYING ON OF HANDS AND ANOINTING

Holy Scripture teaches us that Jesus healed many who were sick as

a sign of the reign of God come near, and sent the disciples to

continue this work of healing through prayer in his name, that the

afflicted might be raised up and their sins forgiven, bringing them

to eternal salvation. By laying hands upon the sick [and anointing

them], the disciples witnessed to the marvelous power and

presence of God.

Pray that as we follow their example, we may experience Christ’s

unfailing love. The minister may invite each person to be anointed

to give her or his name and any particular request for prayer.

The minister then lays hands upon the sick person [and anoints the

person], prays silently, then prays aloud using one of the following

forms or similar words

N., I lay my hands upon you and anoint you in the name of our

Savior Jesus Christ, praying you will be strengthened and filled

with God’s Grace, that you may know the healing power of the

Spirit. Amen.

The Laying on of Hands [and Anointing] concludes with the following

Collect

May the God who goes before you through desert places by night

and by day be your companion and guide; may your journey be

with the saints; may the Holy Spirit be your strength, and Christ

your clothing of light, in whose name we pray. Amen.

God of all mercy: help us who minister with the sick and dying to

remember that though we may appear healthy, we, too, suffer from

the universal human condition in a fallen world. Flesh withers, and

we must all die to the life we know. Therefore, O God our help,

teach us to be aware of our own infirmities, the better to make

others understand they are not alone in their illness. Restore us all

in the love of the holy and undivided Trinity which is our true

health and salvation. Amen.

EXCHANGE THE PEACE

Celebrant: The peace of Christ be always with you.

People: And also with you.

WEDDING & BIRTHDAY PRAYERS / ANNOUNCEMENTS

Watch over your children, O God, as their days increase.

Strengthen them where they stand; comfort them when

discouraged or sorrowful; raise them up if they fall and in their

hearts may your peace that passes all understanding abide all the

days of their lives; through Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy

Spirit. Amen.

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER 1

Celebrant: It is truly right, and good and joyful, to give you

thanks, all-holy God, source of life and fountain of mercy. You

have filled us and all creation with your blessing and fed us with

your constant love; you have redeemed us in Jesus Christ and knit

us into one body. Through your Spirit you replenish us and call us

to fullness of life. Therefore, joining with Angels and Archangels

and with the faithful of every generation, we lift our voices with all

creation as we sing:

SANCTUS James MacMillan

Celebrant: Blessed are you, gracious God, creator of the universe

and giver of life. You formed us in your own image and called us

to dwell in your infinite love.

You gave the world into our care that we might be your faithful

stewards and show forth your bountiful grace. But we failed to

honor your image in one another and in ourselves; we would not see

your goodness in the world around us; and so we violated your

It is right to give our thanks and praise.

Page 14: We include all in worship to be strengthened and blessed ... · 4/8/2018  · PRELUDE Lute Concerto in D, RV93 Antonio Vivaldi I. Allegro giusto (1678-1741) HYMN 212 AWAKE, ARISE

13

creation, abused one another, and rejected your love. Yet you

never ceased to care for us, and prepared the way of salvation for

all people.

Through Abraham and Sarah you called us into covenant with you.

You delivered us from slavery, sustained us in the wilderness, and

raised up prophets to renew your promise of salvation. Then, in the

fullness of time, you sent your eternal Word, made mortal flesh in

Jesus. Born into the human family, and dwelling among us, he

revealed your glory. Giving himself freely to death on the cross, he

triumphed over evil, opening the way of freedom and life.

On the night before he died for us, Our Savior Jesus Christ 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."

As supper was ending, Jesus 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 poured out

for you and for all for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink

it, do this for the remembrance of me."

Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:

Christ has died.

Christ is risen.

Christ will come again.

Celebrant: Remembering his death and resurrection, we now

present to you from your creation this bread and this wine. By your

Holy Spirit may they be for us the Body and Blood of our Savior

Jesus Christ. Grant that we who share these gifts may be filled with

the Holy Spirit and live as Christ's Body in the world. Bring us into

the everlasting heritage of your daughters and sons, that with all

your saints, past, present, and yet to come, we may praise your

Name for ever. Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, in the

unity of the Holy Spirit, to you be honor, glory, and praise, for ever

and ever. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER

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

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.

POST COMMUNION PRAYER

Celebrant & People: Loving God, we give you thanks for

restoring us in your image and nourishing us with spiritual food

in the Sacrament of Christ's Body and Blood. Now send us forth

a people, forgiven, healed, renewed; that we may proclaim your

love to the world and continue in the risen life of Christ our

Savior. Amen.
