╬ The Seventh Sunday of Easter ╬ May 8, 2016

Welcome to Trinity! We’re so glad to have you with us!

If you are new to this faith community or visiting, we’d like to share information with you about worship and ministries at Trinity. Please let an usher know you’d like a Welcome Booklet and also fill out an information card so we can get to know you!

~~ Children are always welcome in church ~~

The Sunday Papers coloring pages and activity bags are available at the back of the sanctuary so children can sit with their parents during the church service. The nursery is open and available for parents who would appreciate this offering. It is located in the west wing of this building, up the stairs outside the west sanctuary door. Older children are invited to Children’s Chapel (September to mid-June) during the first part of the service, returning for the Eucharist.

Parents, grandparents, and guardians are welcome to join their children in the Nursery or

Children's Chapel to observe and enjoy these activities.

The following pages of this bulletin provide information about our services this morning, including the text of our assigned readings and the music (at our 10:15 service), as well as news about upcoming events. Please take this bulletin with you to refer to in the coming days. The small candle on the altar is a Candle for Peace. A practice begun in Russia, peace candles are being passed from church to church around the world. (Ours is from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in The Dalles, Oregon.) The candles and the story of the peace candle are available at the back of the church.

We hope guests and visitors will take a peace candle to their home church.

The Collect of the Day

The Celebrant bids the assigned collect, saying

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

O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with

great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

First Reading – Acts 16:16-34

A lector reads the first reading from Scripture, first saying

A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles.

With Paul and Silas, we came to Philippi in Macedonia, a Roman colony, and,

as we were going to the place of prayer, we met a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners a great deal of money by fortune-telling. While she followed Paul and us, she would cry out, "These men are slaves of the Most High God, who proclaim to you a way of salvation."

She kept doing this for many days. But Paul, very much annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I order you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her."

6

And it came out that very hour.

But when her owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities. When they had brought them before the magistrates, they said, "These men are disturbing our city; they are Jews and are advocating customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to adopt or observe." The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates had them stripped of their clothing and ordered them to be beaten with rods. After they had given them a severe flogging, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to keep them securely. Following these instructions, he put them in the innermost cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was an earthquake, so violent that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened.

When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, since he supposed that the prisoners had escaped.

But Paul shouted in a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."

The jailer called for lights, and rushing in, he fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. Then he brought them outside and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

They answered, "Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." They spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. At the same hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds; then he and his entire family were baptized without delay. He brought them up into the house and set food before them; and he and his entire household rejoiced that he had become a believer in God.

At the conclusion of the reading, the lector says

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

7

The Psalm – Psalm 97

A reader leads the congregation in saying the Psalm at the 8 AM service.

At the later service, the choir sings the antiphon once, then the congregation sings the antiphon with the choir. The Choir and/or a cantor sings the verses, with the congregation joining in singing the antiphon as indicated below.

1 The LORD is King;

let the earth rejoice; * let the multitude of the isles be glad.

2 Clouds and darkness are round about him, * righteousness and justice are the foundations of his throne.

Antiphon

3 A fire goes before him * and burns up his enemies on every side.

4 His lightnings light up the world; * the earth sees it and is afraid.

5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, * at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 The heavens declare his righteousness, * and all the peoples see his glory.

Antiphon

7 Confounded be all who worship carved images and delight in false gods! * Bow down before him, all you gods.

8 Zion hears and is glad, and the cities of Judah rejoice, * because of your judgments, O LORD.

Antiphon

9 For you are the LORD, most high over all the earth; * you are exalted far above all gods.

8

10 The LORD loves those who hate evil; * he preserves the lives of his saints and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

Antiphon

11 Light has sprung up for the righteous, * and joyful gladness for those who are truehearted.

12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous, * and give thanks to his holy Name.

Antiphon

Second Reading – Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20-21

A lector reads the second reading from Scripture, first saying

A Reading from the Revelation to John.

At the end of the visions I, John, heard these words:

"See, I am coming soon; my reward is with me, to repay according to everyone's work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."

Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they will have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates.

"It is I, Jesus, who sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star."

The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." And let everyone who hears say, "Come." And let everyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who wishes take the water of life as a gift.

The one who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon."

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.

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 Celtic Alleluia

As the Gospel Book is brought into the midst of the congregation, the following refrain is sung 3 times. It is sung twice following the reading of the Gospel.

Gospel – John 17:20-26

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

Jesus prayed for his disciples, and then he said. "I ask not only on behalf of

these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

"Father, I desire that those also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

"Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent me. I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them."

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

Sermon – The Rev. Jedediah D. Holdorph

The Nicene Creed – all stand, as able BCP, p. 358

The Prayers of the People, Form VI BCP, p. 392

The Celebrant concludes the Prayers at the 10:15 service with a suitable Collect.

The Council of Nicaea, in the 4th century, forbade kneeling and confessions throughout the season of Easter. Accordingly, the confession will be omitted today.

The Exchange of the Peace

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

The peace of the Lord be always with you. People And also with you.

Please greet those sitting beside you and in the rows in front of and/or behind you.

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

Those with birthdays and/or anniversaries to celebrate are invited to come forward to receive a blessing. The People and Celebrant say the appropriate prayer together.

For birthdays:

Watch over your children (child), 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 (life), through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For anniversaries:

O gracious and everliving God, look mercifully on your servants. Grant them your blessing, and assist them with your grace, that with true fidelity and steadfast love they may honor and keep their promises and vows; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

If other members of the congregation wish, they may ask for additional prayers and blessings.

A small “treasure chest” is placed on the chancel rail near the flowers. As members come forward for blessing, they may choose to place a thank offering in the chest. These gifts will be used to support outreach efforts for others in our community.

Participants should bring Size 1 knitting needles, 20 yards of fingering weight yarn, Size 6 beads, and one button that goes with your yarn. Or your own project.

Come join this fun social time. We always welcome snacks and we will provide something to drink.

Circle of Love (COL) Spring Luncheon — Saturday from 12-3 PM Circle of Love (COL) is hosting a spring luncheon for Trinity women at Awbrey Glen on Saturday, May 14, from 12-3 p.m. All Trinity women and guests are invited and encouraged to attend. We will have a salad buffet, dessert and drinks. Cost is $18. Celine Burke will be showing slides of their recent trip to Tasmania. Sign up today after church.

Pentecost Sunday — NEXT Sunday @ 8 & 10:15 AM Pentecost is the great festival that marks the birth of the Christian church by the power of the Holy Spirit. There are a few ways for everyone to get into the act:

• Recalling the tongues of flame in which the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples, red is the liturgical color of the day. Everyone is encouraged to wear some red next Sunday.

• From our reading in Acts, we hear of how the Spirit gave the disciples the ability to speak in other tongues. You’re invited, as you are given ability to do so, to help read in a foreign tongue – not as a solo but as part of a chorus of voices, a chaotic congregational cacophony! Please look for a signup sheet and pick up some sample translations.

• And Pentecost is an especially appropriate occasion for baptism. If you are interested in baptism on Pentecost Sunday for yourself or your child, please speak to Fr. Jed.

And if Norwegian is your language of choice, here’s a Norse translation of Acts 2:1-4: Da pinsedagen kom, var alle samlet på ett sted. Plutselig lød det fra himmelen som når en kraftig vind blåser, og lyden fylte hele huset hvor de satt. Tunger som av ild viste seg for dem, delte seg og satte seg på hver enkelt av dem. Da ble de alle fylt av Den hellige ånd, og de begynte å tale på andre språk etter som Ånden ga dem å forkynne.

15

Everything You Wanted to Know About … The Episcopal Church — NEXT Sunday @ 12 PM The second of our two-part introduction is scheduled for next Sunday, following the later service. If you’d like to “join” Trinity, this class is for you. But maybe you're just curious or perhaps you've been around for a long time and wonder what you've been missing … or you might just have questions you've been afraid to ask. You and your questions will be welcome.

If you are interested, please add your name to the sign-up sheet and/or let the office know so we can plan on your appropriately. We’ll meet next Sunday in the Library, starting at noon.

Trinity Women’s Collective ———— Saturday, May 21st Please join the Trinity Women’s Collective in Brooks Hall on Saturday, May 21st, from 9–11:30 AM, for coffee, breakfast rolls, and the opportunity to explore Mary Oliver’s poetry, which springs from immersion in the natural world and leads her to ask questions of herself and of us: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do/with your one wild and precious life?”

Judy Montgomery (author of three poetry collections) will lead us as we enter Oliver’s world of words and pinewoods, poppies and the breath of prayer: “I was thinking/so this is how you swim inward/this is how you swim outward/so this is how you pray.” We’ll look deeply into several of her poems and offer the opportunity to play with words ourselves (no pressure!). Please come, and bring a friend! And please let Judy know who and how many to expect so she can come ready with enough photocopies (and breakfast rolls!). Judy’s email is jhm@bendcable.com. Minions always welcome!

The Bishop is coming! The Bishop is coming! — Sunday, May 22nd It’s still a long ways off, but Pat Bell, our new Bishop will be making his first formal Visitation on our feast day, Trinity Sunday. There’s more to say, but please join us in offering a grand welcome.

Northern Ohio University Singers return — Monday, May 30th, 7:30 PM Save the date! We are once again hosting a performance by the traveling choir from Ohio Northern University. They are wonderful and we are truly blessed to have this opportunity. The first time they were here was just after the fires, and they donated the free-will offering to Trinity, rather than using it for their own expenses.

Please consider being a host family for a night! Students are housed overnight, generally in pairs. Contact Gail McGuire at (541) 617-3991 to say you’ll help!

Cove/COPY and Mothers/Caregivers

Bob Moore, Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Central Oregon Partnerships for Youth (COPY), told us that caregivers really appreciate all that Cove summer camp does for their children and how much it helps them have a respite from care giving.

During our announcement time this morning, we’ll hear one mother’s story about the importance of Cove/COPY for her and her family.

As Michael Curry said, “the way we love looks something like Jesus; the way we give looks something like Jesus.” Our donations really make a difference! To donate make a check out to Trinity Episcopal Church with Cove/COPY on the memo line or put your donation in the Cove/COPY envelope found in the pew. Donations can go into the collection plate or be dropped off at the office.
