Kyrie Archangelsky (arr. Richard Proulx)

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 Exodus 3:1-15Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led his flock beyond the wilder-ness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed. Then Moses said, “I must turn aside and look at this great sight, and see why the bush is not burned up.” When the Lord saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then he said, “Come no closer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” He said fur-ther, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. Then the Lord said, “I have observed the misery of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters. Indeed, I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them from the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hiv-ites, and the Jebusites. The cry of the Israelites has now come to me; I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them. So come, I will send you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” He said, “I will be with you; and this shall be the sign for you that it is I who sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God on this mountain.” But Moses said to God, “If I come to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” He said further, “Thus you shall say to the Israelites, ‘I am has sent me to you.’” God also said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you’: This is my name forever, and this my title for all generations.”

Collect of the Day Presider The Lord be with you. Assembly And also with you. Presider Let us pray.Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Psalm 63:1-8

Cantor O God, you are my God; eagerly I / seek you;* my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you, as in a barren and dry land where there is / no water.Assembly Therefore I have gazed upon you in your / holy place,* that I might behold your power and / your glory.Cantor For your loving-kindness is better than / life itself;* my lips shall / give you praise.Assembly So will I bless you as long as I / live* and lift up my hands / in your Name.Cantor My soul is content, as with marrow and / fatness,* and my mouth praises you / with joyful lips,Assembly When I remember you up-/ on my bed,* and meditate on you in the / night watches.Cantor For you have been my / helper,* and under the shadow of your wings I / will rejoice.Assembly My soul / clings to you;* your right hand / holds me fast.

All rise as able.Gospel ProcessionChildren are invited to join the Gospel Procession. Children preschool-second grade are then invited to Children’s Chapel in Thomsen Chapel. They will return at the Peace. Parents are welcome to join their children.Gospel Acclamation Spirit of the living God (Red Songbook #108) Daniel Iverson

Second Reading 1 Corinthians 10:1-13I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, and they were struck down in the wilderness.Now these things occurred as examples for us, so that we might not desire evil as they did. Do not become idolaters as some of them did; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to play.” We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did, and were destroyed by serpents. And do not complain as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer. These things happened to them to serve as an example, and they were written down to instruct us, on whom the ends of the ages have come. So if you think you are standing, watch out that you do not fall. No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it.

The Gospel Luke 13:1-9 Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. Assembly Glory to you, Lord Christ.At that very time there were some present who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. He asked them, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners than all other Galileans? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did. Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on them--do you think that they were worse of-fenders than all the others living in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish just as they did.” Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and found none. So he said to the gardener, ‘See here! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and still I find none. Cut it down! Why should it be wasting the soil?’ He replied, ‘Sir, let it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and put manure on it. If it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’” Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. Assembly Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Presider Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. Assembly It is right to give God thanks and praise. Presider God of all power, Ruler of the Universe, you are worthy of glory and praise. Assembly Glory to you for ever and ever. Presider At your command all things came to be: the vast expanse of interstellar space, galaxies, suns, the planets in their courses, and this fragile earth, our island home. Assembly By your will they were created and have their being. Presider From the primal elements you brought forth the human race, and blessed us with memory, reason, and skill.

Communion Motet Thee we adore Words: Translated from St. Thomas Aquinas; Music: T. Frederick H. Candlyn

Thee we adore, O hidden Savior, thee, who in thy sacrament art pleased to be;both flesh and spirit in thy presence fail. Yet here thy presence we devoutly hail.O blest memorial of our dying Lord, who living bread to us doth here afford!O may our souls for ever feed on thee, and thou, O Christ, forever precious be.Fountain of goodness, Jesu, Lord and God, cleanse us, unclean, in thy most cleansing flood;increase our faith and love, that we may know the hope and peace which from thy presence flow.O Christ, whom now beneath a veil we see, may what we thirst for soon our portion be,to gaze on thee unveiled, and see thy face, the vision of thy glory and thy grace.

The Power of Vulnerability: A Lenten Journey with Brene Brown, facilitated by Dean Thomason WEDNESDAY EVENINGS, 7-8 P.M., FEBRUARY 17-MARCH 16, 2016 (DINNER AT 6 P.M.), BLOEDEL HALLBrene Brown says: "Today we live in a culture of scarcity; a culture of "never enough." This scarcity culture of "never enough" teaches us that we can never have enough success, money, beauty, or power to be safe. The greatest casualties of a scarcity culture are our willingness to own our vulnerabili-ties and our ability to engage with the world from a place of worthiness." The season of Lent seems an especially appro-priate backdrop for such conversations. Drawing on video segments of Brene Brown, and building on Dean Thoma-son’s series last fall on Human Flourishing, we will reflect on the spiritual journey to authenticity. Catch up on the first two weeks forums at saintmarks.org/vulnerability.
