Welcome to Holy Trinity Episcopal Church!  This service of Holy Eucharist is found primarily in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. 

Unless otherwise noted, all hymns can be found in the blue hymnal located in your kneeler.  Your kneeler can be found underneath the seat in front of you, or underneath your seat (if you are in a front row).

Although there are customary postures (such as standing or kneeling) in Episcopal worship, you are invited to be seated at any time, according to your needs and comfort.  If you wish to receive communion while remaining seated, please notify an usher and we will accommodate your needs.

Thank you for worshiping with us today.  We are better because you chose to spend your time among us.   Please know that while childcare is normally provided during our 10:30am service, children of any age are always welcome in worship.  If you have any questions, please notify an usher, greeter, or a member of the clergy.  We would be more than happy to answer any questions or provide you with support.

Collect of the Day Celebrant The Lord be with you.

People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray.

Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord's resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life-giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.The people are seated for the reading of the first Lesson.

Lesson Acts 10:34-43Peter began to speak to Cornelius and the other Gentiles: "I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ--he is Lord of all. That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."

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

The people remain seated and sing the Psalm.

Psalm 118:1-2, 14-22

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for|he is|good; *his|mercy ∙ en|dures for|ever.

2 Let Israel|now pro|claim, *"His|mercy en|dures for|ever."

14 The Lord is my strength|and my|song, *and he has be|come my|salva|tion.

15 There is a sound of exul|ta ∙ tion and|victory *in the|tents|of the|righteous:

16 "The right hand of the|Lord has|triumphed! *the right hand of the Lord is exalted!

the|right hand ∙ of the|Lord has|triumphed!"17 I shall not|die, but|live, *

and de|clare the|works ∙ of the| Lord.18 The Lord has|punished ∙ me|sorely, *

but he did not|hand me|over ∙ to|death.19 Open for me the|gates of|righteousness; *

I will enter them;|I will ∙ offer| thanks ∙ to the| Lord.20 "This is the gate|of the|Lord; *

he who is|righteous| may|enter."21 I will give thanks to you, |for you|answered me *

and have be|come my|salva|tion.22 The same stone which the buil|ders re|jected *

has be|come the| chief ∙ corner|stone.The people remain seated for the second Lesson.

Lesson 1 Corinthians 15:1-11I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you--unless you have come to believe in vain. For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them--though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you have come to believe.

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

The people stand as they are able and sing. They remain standing for the Gospel Lesson.

Hymn #20 MHSO Celtic Alleluia O’Carroll/Walker

Gospel Lesson Mark 16:1-8Gospeller The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. Mark.People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint Jesus. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.” So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

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

Hymn #20 MHSO Celtic Alleluia O’Carroll/Walker

The Renewal of Baptismal VowsThe Celebrant or Assisting Priest addresses the people in these or similar words,

Through the Paschal mystery, dear friends, we are buried with Christ by Baptism into his death, and raised with him to newness of life. I call upon you, therefore, now that our Lenten observance is ended, to renew the solemn promises and vows of Holy Baptism, by which we once renounced Satan and all his works, and promised to serve God faithfully in his holy Catholic Church.

Celebrant Do you reaffirm your renunciation of evil and renew your commitment to Jesus Christ?

People I do.Celebrant Do you believe in God the Father?People I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and

earth.Celebrant Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? People 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.

Celebrant Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?People 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.

Celebrant Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers?

People I will, with God’s help.Celebrant Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into

sin, repent and return to the Lord?People I will, with God’s help.

8

Celebrant Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ?

People I will, with God’s help.Celebrant Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your

neighbor as yourself?People I will, with God’s help.Celebrant Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and

respect the dignity of every human being?People I will, with God’s help.

Celebrant

May Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and bestowed upon us the forgiveness of sins, keep us in eternal life by his grace, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Celebrant and People

Hymnal S-114 Holy, holy, holy Lord

The people stand or kneel as they are able. The Celebrant continues.

Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself; and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, 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, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all. He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world. On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, 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:Celebrant and People together say

Christ has died.Christ is risen.Christ will come again.

11

The Celebrant continues

We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal 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. Amen.And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,The Celebrant and the people pray together.

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.

The Breaking of the BreadThe Celebrant breaks the bread. A period of silence is kept.
