THE SERMON The Rev. Charlotte Cleghorn
A period of silent reflection follows.
     
     
The People stand for   
THE NICENE CREED   
All   
     
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,
   maker of heaven and earth,
   of all this 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.

Gracious God, hear our prayer on behalf of this parish family. Strengthen the faithful, arouse the careless, and restore the penitent. Grant us all things necessary for our common life and bring us all to be of one heart and mind within your holy Church, that we may reflect the power of your love to all who enter our doors. Bless our various ministries that your will may be done in all things, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
    
     
THE CONFESSION & ABSOLUTION

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you
   in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done,
   and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
   we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
   have mercy on us and forgive us;
   that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways,
   to the glory of your Name. Amen.
     
Officiant Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING - Prayer C
     
Celebrant The Lord be with you.
People And also with you.
Celebrant Lift up your hearts.
People We lift them up to the Lord.
Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People It is right to give God thanks and praise.
     
Celebrant God of all power, Ruler of the Universe, you are worthy of glory and praise.
People Glory to you for ever and ever.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
Celebrant At your command all things came to be: the vast expanse of interstellar space, galaxies, suns, their planets in their courses, and this fragile earth, our island home.
People By your will they were created and have their being.
Celebrant From the primal elements you brought forth the human race, and blessed us with memory, reason and skill. You made us the rulers of creation. But we turned against you, and betrayed your trust; and we turned against one another.
People Have mercy, Lord, for we are sinners in your sight.
Celebrant Again and again, you called us to return. Through prophets and sages you revealed your righteous law: And in the fullness of time you sent your only Son, born of a woman, to fulfill your Law, to open for us a way of freedom and peace.
People By his blood, he reconciled us.
By his wounds we are healed.
Celebrant And therefore we praise you, joining with the heavenly chorus, with prophets, apostles, and martyrs, and with all those in every generation who have looked to you in hope, to proclaim with them your glory, in their unending hymn:
     
All sing the Sanctus and Benedictus: (S-129 in the front of the Hymnal)
  
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
  
Eucharistic Prayer C continues...
Celebrant And so, Father, we who have been redeemed by him, and made a new people by water and the Spirit, now bring before you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord...........Remembering now his work of redemption, and offering to you this sacrifice of thanksgiving,
People We celebrate his death and resurrection, as we await the day of his coming.
Celebrant Lord God......Open our eyes to see your hand at work in the world about us. Deliver us from the presumption of coming to this Table for solace only, and not for strength; for pardon only, and not for renewal. Let the grace of this Holy Communion make us one body, one spirit in Christ, that we may worthily serve the world in his name.
  
  
   
   
  
  
People Risen Lord, be known to us
in the breaking of the bread.
Celebrant Accept these prayers and praises, Father, through Jesus Christ our great High Priest, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, your Church gives honor, glory and worship, from generation to generation.   AMEN.

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.
