The First Reading Acts 2:42-47

Reader A reading from the book of Acts.

Those who had been baptized devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.

Reader  The Word of the Lord.People    Thanks be to God.

1 The Lord is my shepherd; *I shall not be in want.2 He makes me lie down in green pastures *and leads me beside still waters.

3

3 He revives my soul *and guides me along right pathways for his Name's sake.4 Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I shall fear no evil; *for you are with me;your rod and your staff, they comfort me.5 You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me; *you have anointed my head with oil,and my cup is running over.6 Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, *and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Reader A reading from Peter’s first letter. It is a credit to you if, being aware of God, you endure pain while suffering unjustly. If you endure when you are beaten for doing wrong, what credit is that? But if you endure when you do right and suffer for it, you have God's approval. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps.

“He committed no sin,and no deceit was found in his mouth.”

When he was abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. For you were going astray like sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you have genuine mutual love, love one another deeply from the heart. You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God.

Reader   The Word of the Lord.People     Thanks be to God.

The Gospel John 10:1-10

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

Jesus said, “Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.” Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

So again Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”

Deacon The Gospel of the Lord.People Praise to you, Lord Christ.ရငတေ�ာဟနခရစဝင။ ၁၀

The Sermon The Rev. Teri Daily

The Nicene Creed BCP 358

We believe in one God,    the Father, the Almighty,    maker of heaven and earth,    of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,    the only Son of God,    eternally begotten of the Father,    God from God, Light from Light,    true God from true God,    begotten, not made,    of one Being with the Father.    Through him all things were made.    For us and for our salvation        he came down from heaven:    by the power of the Holy Spirit        he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,        and was made man.    For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;        he suffered death and was buried.        On the third day he rose again            in accordance with the Scriptures;        he ascended into heaven            and is seated at the right hand of the Father.    He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,        and his kingdom will have no end.

7

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,     who proceeds from the Father and the Son.    With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.    He has spoken through the Prophets.    We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.    We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.    We look for the resurrection of the dead,        and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Prayers of the People

The Celebrant bids the prayers as followsRejoicing in the mighty acts of God who has delivered his people from sin and death through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, let us lift our voices and pray,

Risen Lord, Hear our Prayer.

The person appointed continuesLet us give thanks to God for the multitude of blessings showered upon us:

For our lives and for those whom we love, For the beauty of this home God has created for us, For our families and our friendships, Let us give thanks to the God of Life.

We pray for those who have birthdays this week, especially Cindy Hampton, Phala Anderson, and Mary Gunter.

We pray for those who are celebrating anniversaries this week.

Leader Risen Lord, People Hear our Prayer.

Let us pray for the Church, that it may carry forward the redemptive works of God:

For Michael our Presiding Bishop, and Larry our Bishop, for all clergy and bishops, For the many lay people who serve the church, And serve the world through the church. For this parish family, separated by physical-distancing, that we may be strong in faith, confident in hope, and abounding with love for God and neighbor.

9

For all the baptized, that the joy of Easter may ever grow within them, and that the Spirit may guide them in lives of active faith.

We remember this Sunday in the Anglican cycle of prayer, the Anglican Communion in Japan.We give thanks for our sister faith communities in the River Valley, especially the Atkins First Free Will Baptist Church and Church of the Assumption Catholic Church.

Leader Risen Lord, People Hear our Prayer.

Let us pray for the nations and peoples of the world, that the powers that oppress and destroy may decline, and that justice, peace, and prosperity be lifted up.

We pray especially for Donald our President, Asa our Governor, and Richard our Mayor.

Leader Risen Lord, People Hear our Prayer.

Let us pray for those who are sick, those who suffer, those who struggle: that the hope born of Easter give them peace, acceptance and renewal, And that through their struggles they may come into closer communion with the God who redeems and restores.

We pray especially for Miguel, Jon & Pam, Robert, Bernice & Carina, Susan, Ashley, Donna, Natalie, Mary Lay and all who have contracted the Covid 19 virus, and those who have lost loved ones in the pandemic.

We pray also for those serving in the military, especially Brian, Sarah, Anthony, Cameron, and Adam.

Leader Risen Lord, People Hear our Prayer.

Let us pray for those who have died, remembering especially Paul Tollison, and all the victims of the novel coronavirus, that they may live forever with Christ in the glory of the resurrection.

Leader Risen Lord, People Hear our Prayer.

The Celebrant adds this concluding collectBlessed are you, O Holy God, who destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light, hear the prayers we offer in the hope of eternal glory, and grant that we may live forever in the joy of the resurrection. Glory to you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and always and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

The Great Thanksgiving, Eucharistic Prayer B BCP 367

The people remain standing. The Celebrant, whether bishop or priest, faces them and sings or says

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 give him thanks and praise.

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and every-where to give thanks to you, FatherAlmighty, Creator of heaven and earth, but chiefly are we bound to praise you for the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; for he is the true Paschal Lamb, who wassacrificed for us, and has taken away the sin of the world. By his death he has destroyed death, and by his rising to life again he has won for us everlasting life. Therefore we praise you, joiningour voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who forever singthis hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

11

Celebrant and People Hymnal S130

12

The people stand or kneel. Then the Celebrant continuesWe give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”

13

After supper he 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 shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”

Therefore, according to his command, O Father,

Celebrant and PeopleWe remember his death; we proclaim his resurrection; we await his coming in glory.

And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.

We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation. By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever.

Celebrant and People Hymnal S146

And now, as our SaviorChrist has taught us, we are bold to say,

People and CelebrantOur Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,

14

for ever and ever. Amen. The Breaking of the Bread

The Celebrant breaks the consecrated Bread. A period of silence is kept.

Then may be sung or saidAlleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia.

Facing the people, the Celebrant says the following InvitationThe Gifts of God for the People of God. Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.

The CommunionWherever you are in your journey of faith,

you are welcome in this place; you are welcome at Christ’s table.

When we cannot be present to receive the consecrated bread and wine of Eucharist, our tradition tells us that the desire to do so is enough for God to grant us the benefits of communion. Therefore, I invite you to pray the following prayer.

O God, I believe that you are truly present in the Holy Sacrament, and, since I cannot at this time receive communion, I pray you to come into my heart. I unite myself with you and embrace you with all my heart, my soul, and my mind. Let nothing separate me from you; let me serve you in this life until, by your grace, I come to your glorious kingdom and unending peace. Amen.

(from the St. Augustine Prayer Book)
