THE COLLECT OF THE DAY Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray. Lord, we pray that your grace may always precede and follow us, that we may continually be given to good works; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. A READING FROM 2 KINGS 5:1-3, 7-15c Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man and in high favor with his master, because by him the LORD had given victory to Aram. The man, though a mighty warrior, suffered from leprosy. Now the Arameans on one of their raids had taken a young girl captive from the land of Israel, and she served Naaman's wife. She said to her mistress, "If only my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy." When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, "Am I God, to give death or life, that this man sends word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? Just look and see how he is trying to pick a quarrel with me." But when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent a message to the king, "Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come to me, that he may learn that there is a prophet in Israel." So Naaman came with his horses and chariots, and halted at the entrance of Elisha's house. Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, "Go, wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored and you shall be clean." But Naaman became angry and went away, saying, "I thought that for me he would surely come out, and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and would wave his hand over the spot, and cure the leprosy! Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them, and be clean?" He turned and went away in a rage. But his servants approached and said to him, "Father, if the prophet had commanded you to do something difficult, would you not have done it? How much more, when all he said to you was, `Wash, and be clean'?" So he went down and immersed himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; his flesh was restored like the flesh of a young boy, and he was clean. Then he returned to the man of God, he and all his company; he came and stood before him and said, "Now I know that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel." Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.

PSALM 111

A READING FROM 2 TIMOTHY 2:8-15 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David-- that is my gospel, for which I suffer hardship, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, so that they may also obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

The saying is sure: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful-- for he cannot deny himself.

Remind them of this, and warn them before God that they are to avoid wrangling over words, which does no good but only ruins those who are listening. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth. Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. SEQUENCE HYMN 538 God of mercy, God of grace Lucerne Laudoniae

THE GOSPEL OF OUR LORD ACCORDING TO LUKE Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke 17:11-19. People Glory to you, Lord Christ. On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were made clean. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus asked, "Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" Then he said to him, "Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well." Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ. THE SERMON The Rev. Leslie J. Hague

A quiet time for reflection follows the sermon.

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,

Page 5: Celebrant Blessed be God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit ... · no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly

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.

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.

THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE

Celebrant In peace, let us pray to the Lord:

Leader For the Church of God, that we may be filled with love, generosity and

truth so to transform our communities and our world;

People May your light guide us and shine through us.

Leader For the leaders of our nation, and the leaders of all nations;

People May your light instill in them compassion and good judgment, and guide them in the ways of justice and peace.

Leader For all who hold authority in your Church, that they may shine your light brightly;

People May your Spirit inspire them with creativity, renew their energy, and give them wisdom and love.

People May each of us love and serve you in ways that shine your light in our communities and beyond to free your world from poverty, famine and oppression.

Leader For the sick in body, mind or spirit, especially those on our All Saints prayer list, for those who will receive communion at home this week, and for those we now name in our hearts;

People May your light bring hope and healing to all who suffer.

Leader For all who have died, especially Bill Newton and for those who grieve, and for those we now name in our hearts;

CONFESSION OF SIN The Officiant says

Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. Silence may be kept. The congregation may stand or kneel. Minister and People

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. A Priest, stands and says

Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen. THE PEACE Celebrant The peace of the Lord be always with you. People And also with you. The Ministers and People greet one another in the name of the Lord.

THE HOLY COMMUNION The Holy Eucharist, Prayer A

OFFERTORY ANTHEM O Be Joyful (TTBB) Schubert-Rodby

Text: Psalm 100 Jubilate Deo BCP pg. 729

OFFERTORY HYMN 411 O bless the Lord, my soul! St. Thomas

The people remain standing.

Celebrant 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 God thanks and praise. Then, facing the Holy Table, the Celebrant proceeds

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. (The Proper Preface is read here.) Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name: Celebrant and People sing

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might, S-125

heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

The people stand or kneel. Then the Celebrant continues

Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself, and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all. He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world. On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, 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." 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 we proclaim the mystery of faith: Celebrant and People

Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. The Celebrant continues

We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom. All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: 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. AMEN. THE LORD’S PRAYER And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, People and Celebrant

Our 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, for ever and ever. Amen. THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD FRACTION ANTHEM Celebrant and People

Our All Saints community will be hosting families from the community this week

Each day during the week, you can join in our ministry by praying the following prayer for our guests.

Holy one, Giver of blessings that nurture the earth and feed our bodies and souls,

We offer now our thanks for the abundance that surrounds us:

For the harvest of which we partake,

For the many hands that make light the work of helping our sisters and brothers,

For those who are in need, who gladden our hearts by allowing us to be of use.

With spirits raised by all this, we are so bold as to ask even more:

We pray for more caring hands,

For the equitable sharing of the riches of the harvest,

For more affordable housing,

For more people of faith willing to put their faith into action,

And for our lives to be constant prayers that all may be safe, warm, and loved.

So may it be. Written by the Rev. Dr. David Keyes, Eliot Unitarian Chapel

Cultivating a tangible wellness

-BY KATHRYN NISHIBAYASHI

The readings appointed for this

Sunday (2 Timothy 2:8-15 and Luke

17:11-19) are quite fitting as church

members are in the midst of

discerning the gifts they are able to pledge to

their congregation in the upcoming year. I have

just passed the one-year mark working for the

Kaleidoscope Institute. One program within the

Kaleidoscope Institute called Holy Currencies

focuses on six “holy currencies” that work together to create sustainable ministry: gracious

leadership, time and place, relationship,

wellness, truth, and, finally, money. It was these

holy currencies that I thought of when I first

read this week’s readings.

As the last line of today’s gospel reading says, “Your faith has made you well.” Your pledge to your congregation is a tangible manifestation of

wellness — not only your financial wellness but

the wellness of your congregation. It enhances

your congregation’s ability to carry out its ministries, including those involving cultivating

gracious leadership and relationship in the

church community.

Page 15: Celebrant Blessed be God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit ... · no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly

15

Your pledge shows your truth and will help your congregation live into

its truth as they minister to others both within and beyond the parish

walls. It will contribute to your church’s ability to provide a time and place for others to gather to do God’s work in and for the world. Finally, money is the currency people are most familiar with. Money is the form

in which most pledges come. But think about how else you can pledge

this year using one or more of the holy currencies. No gift is too small as

long as you do your best to present yourself to God as “one who is approved by him,” as the epistle said.

Stewardship is not a passive activity. So “get up and go on your way.” Listen for where and how God is calling you to give your gifts to your

parish and plan to give generously, knowing you are helping cultivate the

flowing of holy currencies in your parish community.

House (The Episcopal Theological School at Claremont), and the office coordi-

nator for the Kaleidoscope Institute.
