Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God

Service of WorshipThird Sunday after the Epiphany

January 27, 2013Eleven o’clock in the morning

What does it mean to be the people of God? The scripture lessons this morning seek to answer that question. In I Corinthians, Paul uses the metaphor of a body to talk about Christian community. In using this description, he encourages followers of Christ to treasure their different gifts and to pursue harmony in striving to be the body of Christ for the world. In Luke, Jesus quotes Isaiah and speaks to the liberating nature of God’s action in the world—a vision of jubilee where sight is recovered and captives are released.

The congregation is asked to remain silent during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation.

Questions PeoPle oFten ask - Why do We read the GosPel From the center aisle?

This was the practice of the Western Church in ancient times, from at least the fourth century onward. The gospel has a special status because in it are recorded the very words of Jesus himself. Placing its reading at the center of our worship reflects this authority—it makes it clear the gospel stands at the very center of the Chapel’s faith and life. Like the opening procession and closing recession, the gospel procession displays the pilgrim character of the church. We invite the congregation to turn to face the gospel, as an embodiment of the repentance the gospel asks of us. Duke Chapel has an interdenominational foundation: this is one way we draw on all the riches of the Church’s liturgical heritage to enhance our encounter with the living God.

The following Congregation opportunities are open to all.

adult forum—Next Sunday, February 3, members of the Congregation’s Senior Pastor Search Committee will provide an update on the Congregation pastor search and the candidate. The forum will be held in Room 0012 of the Westbrook Building of the Divinity School at 9:45 a.m.
