10:00 a.m. Fifth Sunday After Pentecost-
July 5, 2020
Prelude
"Prayer" from Appalachian Spring Aaron Copland, arr. Steve Repasky
Opening Sentence
The Officiant says
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:2
Confession of Sin
The Officiant says
Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.
Officiant and People, together.
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.
2
The Officiant says
Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us all our sins through our Lord Jesus Christ,
strengthen us in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep us in eternal
life. Amen.
The Invitatory and Psalter
Versicle
Officiant Lord, open our lips.
People And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Officiant and People, together
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is
now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Antiphon
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: Come let us adore him.
Invitatory
Jubilate Psalm 100
Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; *
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with a song.
Know this: The Lord himself is God; *
he himself has made us, and we are his;
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise; *
give thanks to him and call upon his Name.
For the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting; *
3
Gradual Psalm Psalm 145:8-15 8 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, *
slow to anger and of great kindness. 9 The Lord is loving to everyone *
and his compassion is over all his works. 10 All your works praise you, O Lord, *
and your faithful servants bless you. 11 They make known the glory of your kingdom *
and speak of your power; 12 That the peoples may know of your power *
and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; *
your dominion endures throughout all ages. 14 The Lord is faithful in all his words *
and merciful in all his deeds. 15 The Lord upholds all those who fall; *
he lifts up those who are bowed down.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
The Lessons
First Reading Romans 7:15-25a
A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans.
I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very
thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. But in fact it
is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good
dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I
do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I
do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me.
So I find it to be a law that when I want to do what is good, evil lies close at hand. For I
delight in the law of God in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at
war with the law of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my
members. Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!

Reader The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
The Canticle
Canticle 12: A Song of Creation Benedicite, amnia opera Domini
Glorify the Lord, all you works of the Lord, *
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
In the firmament of his power, glorify the Lord, *
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
Let the people of God glorify the Lord, *
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
Glorify the Lord, O priests and servants of the Lord, *
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
Glorify the Lord, O spirits and souls of the righteous, *
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
You that are holy and humble of heart, glorify the Lord, *
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
Let us glorify the Lord: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; *
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
In the firmament of his power, glorify the Lord, *
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Second Reading Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30
A Reading from the Gospel according to Matthew.
Jesus said to the crowd, “To what will I compare this generation? It is like children
sitting in the marketplaces and calling to one another, ‘We played the flute for you,
and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.’
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon’; the Son of
Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend
of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”
At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you
have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to
infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over
to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows
5
the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give
you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in
heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is
light.”
Reader The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
Reflection The Rev. David Erickson

The Apostles’ Creed
Officiant and People, together
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

Salutation
Officiant The Lord be with you.
People And also with you.

your will be done, on earth as in heaven.

neighbor: Grant us the grace of your Holy Spirit, that we may be devoted to you with
our whole heart, and united to one another with pure affection; through Jesus Christ
our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and
ever. Amen.

you in freedom and in peace: Give to the people of our country a zeal for justice and
the strength of forbearance, that we may use our liberty in accordance with your
9

Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer
before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry
they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Prayers and Intercessions
The General Thanksgiving
Officiant and People, together
Almighty God, Father of all mercies,
we your unworthy servants give you humble thanks
for all your goodness and loving-kindness
to us and to all whom you have made.
We bless you for our creation, preservation,
and all the blessings of this life;
but above all for your immeasurable love
in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ;
for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory.
And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies,
that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise,
not only with our lips, but in our lives,
by giving up our selves to your service,
and by walking before you
in holiness and righteousness all our days;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit,
be honor and glory throughout all ages. Amen.

WAYS TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING ST.
MARY’S THROUGH A FINANCIAL GIFT
OR PLEDGE
Many St. Mary’s parishioners have asked
how they can continue financially
supporting St. Mary’s while we are not
physically gathering together on Sundays.
The simplest option may be to donate
online through our website
at https://smvsf.org/donation/ under the
“One Time Donation” button. You also
have the option to make recurring
payments. If you are making a pledge
payment, please designate that as such.
Recurring payments may also be made
directly through your banking
institution. Another option is to mail a
check to the church. We are checking mail
regularly and are able to deposit checks. If
you prefer to give by mailing a check,
please continue to do so. If you have any
questions, please email Vicki Turk, our
accountant, at [email protected].
We want to thank everyone for continuing
to support St. Mary’s mission of receiving
God’s grace and bearing Christ in the
world. Thank you! We also recognize,
given the serious events we are all
experiencing, that some people will need to
adjust their support. We want to reaffirm
that everyone is fully a part of this place of
Grace, and that we are here for one
another, as God’s is always here for us. We
are in this together!
VIRTUAL COFFEE HOUR SUNDAYS AT
10:45 A.M.
After Sunday morning’s online worship
service, grab a mug of your favorite
morning quaff and join the St. Mary’s
community for online fellowship during a

possibilities for Sunday School in the
coming months. And to thank the creative
people of all ages who offered classes and
homilies online. We will use the survey to

things about this summer!
