A Liturgical Staycation … and The Scottish Episcopal Church

During the summer months, our worship takes a “liturgical vacation.” We’re utilizing the worship space at St. Helens Hall, and adapting a liturgy from Scotland. We may be staying home, but that doesn’t mean we’re staying put.

The Scottish Episcopal Church has a proud lineage. Their website puts it this way:

The Scottish Episcopal Church is a deeply Scottish Church whose history is interwoven with the whole story of Christianity in Scotland – back to the Celtic Saints like Ninian and Columba and through the Scottish Reformation and all the turbulence which followed.

The Scottish Episcopal Church is passionate about its membership of the Anglican Communion and has a global vision of its place in the world church.

We are similarly proud of our lineage. Our own Episcopal Church values our connections to that wider Anglican Communion even as we celebrate our independence from any external hierarchy.

In the 18th century, our colonial forebears turned to the Scots when separating from England. Scottish bishops ordained two of our first bishops. In return, they asked us to adopt elements of their Eucharistic Prayers. Liturgical nuances in our modern Prayer Book come to us from that early agreement, very subtly distinguishing our services from those used within the Church of England.

Liturgical reforms:

The particular prayers used this morning are adapted from two primary resources of the Scottish Episcopal Church – the “Scottish Liturgy 1982” (subsequently augmented by additional Eucharistic Prayers, including the one used here, in 1996) and “A Service of the Word 2015.”

Our service adds local adaptations, taking encouragement (in part) from the Scottish Episcopal Church’s example of continuing to adapt and see their own liturgies evolve.

THE FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST July 5, 2020

Holy Eucharist – 10 AM

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD

Prelude “Lord of All Hopefulness” arr. by Eleanor Whitsett

After the prelude, a bell is rung three times. This ringing of the bell does not merely announce the start of the liturgy; it is a call to quiet ourselves.

We hope you will take advantage of this invitation to be still.

Welcome and Summary of the Law

The celebrant offers a word of welcome, saying

Grace and peace to you from God our Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The celebrant continues

Our Lord Jesus Christ said: The first commandment is this:

"Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is the only Lord. You shall love the Lord your God

with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength."

The second is this: "Love your neighbour as yourself." There is no other commandment greater than these.

People Amen. Lord, have mercy.

Processional Hymn “This is my song” (Finlandia)

5

Collect of the Day

Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you.

Celebrant Let us pray. (silence)

O God, you have taught us to keep all your commandments by loving you and

our 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.

First Reading – Zechariah 9:9-12

The appointed readings follow, the reader first saying

A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Zechariah.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion!

Shout aloud, O daughter Jerusalem!

Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he,

humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

He will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the war horse from Jerusalem;

and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall command peace to the nations;

his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.

Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double.

At the conclusion of the reading, the lector says

Hear what the Spirit is saying God’s people. People Thanks be to God.

The Psalm – Psalm 145:8-15

The People sing the Psalm following what is known as “Simplified Anglican Chant.” Each half-verse of the Psalm is sung on the reciting note up to the last accented syllable (in bold print below). If there are an odd number of verses, the last verse repeats the final two bars.

8 The LORD is gracious and full of com-passion, *

slow to anger and of great kindness.

9 You are loving to everyone * and your compassion is over all your works.

10 All your works praise you, O GOD, * and your faithful servants bless you.

11 They make known the glory of your realm * and speak of your power;

12 That the peoples may know of your power * and the glorious splendor of your do-minion.

13 Yours, O God, is an everlasting reign; * your dominion endures throughout all ages.

14 You are faithful in all your words * and merciful in all your deeds.

15 You uphold all those who fall; * you lift up those who are bowed down.

Second Reading – Romans 7:15-25a

A lector reads the second reading from Scripture, first saying

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.

7

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!

At the conclusion of the reading, the lector says

Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. People Thanks be to God.

Gospel Hymn “Day by day” Hymnal 654

As the Gospel Book is brought forward, the following is sung.

8

Gospel – Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30

Gospeler The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

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 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.”

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

Sermon – The Rev. Jedediah Holdorph

Affirmation of Faith

An Affirmation is said, all standing (as they are able).

Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: * the divine nature was his from the first:

Yet he did not grasp at equality with God; * he emptied himself and became like a slave.

Taking the nature of man he was revealed in human form; * he humbled himself and became obedient even to death, death on a cross.

Therefore God has raised him on high, * and has given him a name above every other name;

So that in the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, * in heaven, on earth, and in the depths;

And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord; * to the glory of God the Almighty.

(from Philippians 2)

Intercessions

Prayer is offered for the world and its people, for those who suffer and those in need, and for the Church and its members.

The leader and people pray responsively. Particular intercessions and thanksgivings may be offered by the leader of the prayer and by members of the congregation in the times of silence.

Leader O God, the Maker and Sustainer of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom you chose us, before the foundation of the world, and destined us in love to be your own: help us to pray for all your children.

For the life of the world; that your peace may be known and may prevail:

For …

Lord, hear us. People Lord, graciously hear us.

10

Leader For all who suffer injury, death or loss; that they may know the hope to which you call us:

For those entrusted to our prayers …

Lord, hear us. People Lord, graciously hear us.

Leader For all who exercise rule and authority; that they may acknowledge your power:

For …

Lord, hear us. People Lord, graciously hear us.

Leader For the Church which is Christ’s body; that it may live for the praise of your glory:

For …

Lord, hear us. People Lord, graciously hear us.

The Celebrant adds “A Prayer for the Power of the Spirit among the People of God” or some other concluding Collect.

God of all power and love, we give thanks for your unfailing presence and the

hope you provide in times of uncertainty and loss. Send your Holy Spirit to enkindle in us your holy fire. Revive us to live as Christ’s body in the world: a people who pray, worship, learn, break bread, share life, heal neighbors, bear good news, seek justice, rest and grow in the Spirit. Wherever and however we gather, unite us in common prayer and send us in common mission, that we and the whole creation might be restored and renewed, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

11

The Peace

As able, all stand and prepare to greet one another in the Lord’s name, the Celebrant first saying

The peace of God be always with you. People And also with you.

Please greet any who may be near with a word of peace.

Birthday/Anniversary Blessings (along with other special prayers/announcements)

We offer prayers for members of the congregation who celebrate birthdays and/or anniversaries this week.

For birthdays:

Holy God, holy and strong, holy and immortal, have mercy on these your children. God of unfailing mercy, by whom nothing is ever made in vain: look in compassion on these children of your love, and complete in them the work you have begun; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For anniversaries:

God the Holy Trinity, preserve and keep you: the blessing of God be upon you, that good may come to you; the blessing of Christ be upon you, that good be done to you; the blessing of the Holy Spirit be yours, that good may be the course of your life, each day of your arising, each night of your lying down,

for evermore. Amen.

THE LITURGY OF THE SACRAMENT

Offertory Music “Father in Heaven”

by Darin Wolford

While the table is prepared, members of the congregation may make offerings of money. If you are able to support the ongoing life of this congregation, please continue to offer a check or use your credit card as you have in the past. If you’d like, you may also make a gift online.

Once the table is prepared, the People sing the following, using the tune of Hymn 380.

Be present at our table, Lord: Be here and everywhere adored; These creatures bless; and grant that we may feast in fellowship with thee. Amen.

The Great Thanksgiving

The people remain standing. The celebrant says or sings

The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Lift up your hearts. People We lift them to the Lord. Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People It is right to offer thanks and praise.

The celebrant continues

Worship and praise belong to you, O God, in every place and at all times. You made us, all the people of the world, and everything that is.

You give us the daylight. Your Word lights up our minds. Jesus was born among us to be light in our darkness.

Your Spirit lives in us so that we can look at the world with your eyes.

One day we will be with you in heaven, but already we laugh with the saints and angels, and sing their joyful song:

13

Celebrant and People

The celebrant continues

You never forget us, O Holy One, or turn away from us, even when we fail you. You sent your Son Jesus who gave his life for us. He healed those who were sick, cared for those who were poor, and cried with those who grieved. He forgave sinners and taught us to forgive.

For all your love we give you thanks in the way that Jesus showed us.

On the night before he died, while he was having supper with his friends, he took bread and offered you thanks. He broke the bread, and gave it to them, saying: "Take, eat. This is my Body: it is broken for you."

After supper, he took the cup, he offered you thanks, and gave it to them saying: "Drink this, all of you. This is my Blood of the new covenant; it is poured out for you, and for all. Do this in remembrance of me."

14

So, as we do what he told us, we open our hearts to him; we remember how he died and rose again to live now in us.

Together with him we offer you these gifts: in them we give you ourselves.

Send your Holy Spirit on us and on this bread and this wine, that they may be the Body and Blood of Christ, and that, sharing your life, we may travel in your company to our journey's end.

With all your people we give you thanks and praise through the Son and in the Spirit, now and for ever.

People Amen.

Lord’s Prayer

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

All 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.

15

Breaking of the Bread

The Celebrant breaks the consecrated Bread. A period of silence is kept. Then may be sung

Facing the people, the Celebrant says the following or some other words of Invitation

The Gifts of God for the People of God.

and may add Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.

Communion Music “Meditation” by Theodore Dubois

16

Prayer after Communion

The ancient tradition of the Church reminds us that when it is impossible to be present at a celebration of the Eucharist, and to receive Holy Communion, the desire to be united with Christ (and the People of God) in the Sacrament is enough for God to grant all the spiritual benefits of Communion. The presider invites the following prayer to be said by all:

Since I cannot at this time receive communion, I pray you to come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and let nothing separate me from you: come and dwell in the fullness of your strength; be my wisdom, and guide me in right pathways; conform my life and actions to the image of your holiness; and in the power of your gracious might, rule over every hostile power that threatens or disturbs the growth of your kingdom; who with the Father and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

(following James Koester, SSJE, adapt. from Saint Augustine’s Prayer Book)

The Blessing of God’s People

The celebrant offers the following, or some other, blessing.

God go before you to lead you. God go behind you to protect you. God go beneath you to support you. God go beside you to befriend you.

And so may the blessing of Almighty God – most holy, glorious, and undivided Trinity – come upon you and settle in around you.

People Amen.
