THE LITURGY OF THE WORDAfter each reading, the lector says: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. All respond Thanks be to God. First Reading Isaiah 25:6-9On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines, of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear. And he will destroy on this mountain the shroud that is cast over all peoples, the sheet that is spread over all nations; he will swallow up death forever. Then the Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken. It will be said on that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

Cantor The earth is the Lord’s and all that is / in it, the world and / all who dwell therein. Assembly For it is he who founded it upon the / seas and made it firm upon the / rivers of the deep.

Cantor “Who can ascend the hill of the / Lord? and who can stand / in his holy place?”Assembly “Those who have clean hands and a / pure heart, who have not pledged themselves to falsehood, nor sworn by / what is a fraud.Cantor They shall receive a blessing from the / Lord and a just reward from the God of / their salvation.”Assembly Such is the generation of those who / seek him, of those who seek your face, O / God of Jacob.Cantor Lift up your heads, O gates; lift them high, O ever- / lasting doors; and the King of / glory shall come in.Assembly “Who is this King of / glory?” “The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, might- / y in battle.”Cantor Lift up your heads, O gates; lift them high, O ever- / lasting doors; and the King of / glory shall come in.Assembly “Who is he, this King of / glory?” “The Lord of hosts, he is the / King of glory.”

Psalm 24 Plainsong Tone 8.1 Verses sung in alternation by a cantor and the assembly.

Second Reading Revelation 21:1-6aI saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as their God; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.” And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Then he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.”

The Holy Gospel John 11:32-44 Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. Assembly Glory to you, Lord Christ. When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weep-ing, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” Jesus began to weep. So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?” Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days.” Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you for having heard me. I knew that you al-ways hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.” When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.” Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. Assembly Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The Peace Presider The peace of Christ be always with you. Assembly And also with you.The Exchange of the Peace is an ancient ritual of greeting one another with a bidding of peace as we prepare to share a holy meal as community. It is a mark of right relationship as we move to the Table assured of God’s forgiveness. It is not a time to engage in conversation; rather, we focus on Christ’s peace in us and around us as a gift shared in community.

Birthday and Anniversary BlessingsThose celebrating birthdays and anniversaries this week are invited to come forward to receive a blessing. The assem-bly stands as able and joins the presider in saying the prayers.BirthdaysWatch over your children, O Lord, as their days increase; bless and guide them wherever they may be. Strengthen them when they stand; comfort them when discouraged or sorrowful; raise them up if they fall; and in their hearts may your peace, which passes understanding, abide all the days of their lives; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.AnniversariesLoving God, in the mystery of the Holy Trinity, you reveal yourself as a community of self-giving love. We thank you for bringing us together into families. Bless we pray these couples who celebrate the anni-versaries of their commitments to one another, and grant that they may grow in grace, fidelity and mutual affection all the days of their lives, through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

THE LITURGY OF THE TABLEAn offering of money is received. Everyone worshipping this morning is invited to make an offering as an expression of gratitude for God’s generosity. Many support St. Mark’s through pledged offerings made by credit card or via mail. Together our gifts make possible this community of welcome, reconciliation and service.

Offertory Anthem At the River Aaron Copland, arr. R. Wilding WhiteShall we gather by the river,Where bright angels’ feet have trod,With its crystal tide foreverFlowing by the throne of God?

Yes, we’ll gather by the river,The beautiful, the beautiful river,Gather with the saints by the riverThat flows by the throne of God.

Soon we’ll reach the shining river,Soon our pilgrimage will cease,Soon our happy hearts will quiverWith the melody of peace.

All rise as able as the bread, wine and money we offer to God are brought forward and presented at the altar table.

The Great Thanksgiving Eucharistic Prayer 1, Enriching Our Worship Presider The Lord be with you. Assembly And also with you. Presider Lift up your hearts. Assembly We lift them to the Lord. Presider Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. Assembly It is right to give God thanks and praise.

PresiderIt is truly right, and good and joyful, to give you thanks, all-holy God, source of life and fountain of mercy. You have filled us and all creation with your blessing and fed us with your constant love; you have redeemed us in Jesus Christ and knit us into one body. Through your Spirit you replenish us and call us to fullness of life. Therefore, joining with Angels and Archangels and with the faithful of every generation, we lift our voices with all creation as we sing:Sanctus and Benedictus (The Hymnal 1982 #S125)

Blessed are you, gracious God, creator of the universe and giver of life. You formed us in your own image and called us to dwell in your infinite love. You gave the world into our care that we might be your faithful stewards and show forth your bountiful grace. But we failed to honor your image in one another and in ourselves; we would not see your goodness in the world around us; and so we violated your creation, abused one another, and rejected your love. Yet you never ceased to care for us, and prepared the way of salvation for all people. Through Abraham and Sarah you called us into covenant with you. You delivered us from slavery, sustained us in the wilderness, and raised up prophets to renew your promise of salvation.Then, in the fullness of time, you sent your eternal Word, made mortal flesh in Jesus. Born into the human family, and dwelling among us, he revealed your glory. Giving himself freely to death on the cross, he triumphed over evil, opening the way of freedom and life. On the night before he died for us, Our Savior Jesus Christ took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his friends, and said: “Take, eat: This is my Body which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.” As supper was ending, Jesus 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 poured out for you and for all for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”

The Lord’s Prayer (The Hymnal 1982 #S148)

Remembering his death and resurrection, we now present to you from your creation this bread and this wine. By your Holy Spirit may they be for us the Body and Blood of our Savior Jesus Christ. Grant that we who share these gifts may be filled with the Holy Spirit and live as Christ’s Body in the world. Bring us into the everlasting heritage of your daughters and sons, that with all your saints, past, present, and yet to come, we may praise your Name for ever. Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, to you be honor, glory, and praise, for ever and ever. Amen.

Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: All Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
