pew card and place it in the offering plate or give it to a greeter. On

Congratulations to Tom Aglidian and Maureen Belden who were

married yesterday at Christ Church.

We now have a gluten-free option for Communion. If you require

this, please give your name and contact information to the office.

Adult Ed – Today: Koffee Klatch; next week, Father Mike Cassell

from Food for the Poor.

Bible for Kids for sale: The Paraclete Press Bible for Kids is a

wonderful adaptation of the bible. It is interesting to read and

illustrated very beautifully. It was written with young children – ages

2 or 3-8 or so – in mind. (However, adults might learn a thing or two

as well). We have gotten a special price on 16 bibles, and we are

selling them to benefit the Youth Pilgrimage Fund. Normal price is

$18; we are selling them for $14. They make great gifts for children

or grandchildren, or to have on hand when grandchildren come to

visit. Please take a look – and, we hope, buy a copy to support the

youth! They are on the Youth table in the Deppich Room.

White Elephant Items Needed! We are having two White Elephant

sales this fall. The first will be at the Fall Pumpkin Patch Festival on

Saturday, October 18, and at that we will offer traditional White

elephant items – furniture, bric-a-brac and knickknacks,

housewares, cookware, dishware, electronics, toys and games, and so

on. Everything EXCEPT Christmas items. At the November

Christmas Fair on Saturday, November 22, we will sell ONLY

Christmas-appropriate White Elephants. As you do your fall

cleaning, please think of us! We will happily accept your donations.

Meetings this week: Wednesday, 10:30 AM, Staff Meeting, (RO);

Thursday, Wardens, 6:30 PM; Finance, 7:00 PM; Choir, 7:30 PM.

Would you like to establish a fund for Christ Church through your

estate planning? Your restricted gift will ensure the continuation of

the ministry of Christ Church and will benefit your parish friends

and family for generations to come. Please speak to the rector if you

would like assistance in establishing such a fund. You might also

consider a gift to our permanent endowment fund.

Do you pledge to Christ Church? If you didn’t get a chance to fill out

a pledge card, now is an excellent opportunity. There are additional

pledge cards available at the back of church. You can also go to the

church website and fill out a pledge card online.

Ditty Bags for Seaman’s Institute –The Outreach Committee collects

items for the ditty bags for the Seaman’s Church Institute through

the year. For all of October and November, we are asking for warm

waterproof gloves and razors.

Do we have your email address??? So much of our correspondence

now is through email. If you have not been receiving weekly email

news bulletins and other important notifications, please be sure to let

the office know your email address, and update us on any changes.

You can also put it on a white pew card. Place it in the offering plate.

Activity bags for children can be found on a rack in the back of

church, under the memorial table. Bags with pink stickers are for

younger children – up to age 5 or so. Please take any activity your

child completes home with you and return the bags to the rack.

Please do not take crayons, or the whole bag, but just the children’s

work, home with you.

Children’s Pew Envelopes: All the money collected from children in

Sunday School and Children’s Chapel and from Lenten Mite Boxes

goes to support our two ChildFund children, Chanel and Jay-R. All

proceeds from the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper also go to these

children. There are special offering envelopes for children in the

pews. If your child is going to put money in the plate, please give

them a children’s pew envelope. Please note that ANY donation

made in these special envelopes will be credited to our ChildFund

children—you don’t have to be a child!

The Food Cupboard is getting bare! The drastic state cuts in aid to

the poor and unemployed have caused demand for food aid to rise

dramatically. We maintain an Emergency Food Cupboard and also

help supply the Food Pantry at Ridley Park United Methodist

Church, but we are running low, please consider donating dry

and/or canned food items and place them in the basket at the back of

the church. Of particular need: canned fruits, and containers of

100% fruit juice, spaghetti sauce/parmesan cheese. (We have plenty

of peanut butter now!)

Pull-up Tabs: If you get pull-up tabs from beverage, soup or pet food

Page 5: Christ Churchchristchurchridleypark.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/2014-10-05... · USAF; Timothy Nellet – USMC; Staff Sgt. Tony Grassel, USAF; ... Banner: Jack Kellett 8:00 AM

cans, including (colored tabs). The Outreach Committee is collecting

tabs for Ronald McDonald House. There is a marked clear plastic

jar on the counter near the green doors where you can drop the tabs.

Please remember Christ Church in your will and estate planning.

If you need further information on how to make provisions for the

church, please speak to the rector.

Glory to God in the highest,

and peace to his people on earth.

Lord God, heavenly King,

almighty God and Father,

we worship you, we give you thanks,

we praise you for your glory.

Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father,

Lord God, Lamb of God,

you take away the sin of the world:

have mercy on us;

you are seated at the right hand of the Father:

receive our prayer.

For you alone are the Holy One,

you alone are the Lord,

you alone are the Most High,

Jesus Christ,

with the Holy Spirit,

in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Collect of the Day

Celebrant The Lord be with you.

People And also with you.

Celebrant Let us pray.

Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than

we to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve: Pour upon

us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our

conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for which we are

not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Jesus

Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one

God, for ever and ever. Amen.

First Reading Exodus 20:1-4,7-9,12-20

All sit.

A Reading from the book of Exodus.

God spoke all these words: I am the Lord your God, who brought you

out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no

other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether

in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth

beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not make

wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not

acquit anyone who misuses his name. Remember the sabbath day, and

keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. Honor your

father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the

Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not

commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness

against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you

shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or

donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. When all the people

witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sound of the trumpet, and the

mountain smoking, they were afraid and trembled and stood at a

distance, and said to Moses, “You speak to us, and we will listen; but do

not let God speak to us, or we will die.” Moses said to the people, “Do

not be afraid; for God has come only to test you and to put the fear of

him upon you so that you do not sin.”

Reader The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God.

Psalm

Remain seated.

Psalm 19

Cæli enarrant

1 The heavens declare the glory of God, *

and the firmament shows his handiwork.

2 One day tells its tale to another, *

and one night imparts knowledge to another.

3 Although they have no words or language, *

and their voices are not heard,

4 Their sound has gone out into all lands, *

and their message to the ends of the world.

5 In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; *

it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber;

it rejoices like a champion to run its course.

6 It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens

and runs about to the end of it again; *

nothing is hidden from its burning heat.

7 The law of the LORD is perfect

and revives the soul; *

the testimony of the LORD is sure

and gives wisdom to the innocent.

8 The statutes of the LORD are just

and rejoice the heart; *

the commandment of the LORD is clear

and gives light to the eyes.

9 The fear of the LORD is clean

and endures for ever; *

the judgments of the LORD are true

and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold,

more than much fine gold, *

sweeter far than honey,

than honey in the comb.

11 By them also is your servant enlightened, *

and in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can tell how often he offends? *

cleanse me from my secret faults.

13 Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins;

let them not get dominion over me; *

then shall I be whole and sound,

and innocent of a great offense.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my

heart be acceptable in your sight, *

O LORD, my strength and my redeemer.

Second Reading Philippians 3:4b-14

A Reading from Paul’s letter to the Church in Philippi.

If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have more:

circumcised on the eighth day, a member of the people of Israel, of the

tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

Page 13: Christ Churchchristchurchridleypark.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/2014-10-05... · USAF; Timothy Nellet – USMC; Staff Sgt. Tony Grassel, USAF; ... Banner: Jack Kellett 8:00 AM

13

as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law,

blameless. Yet whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss

because of Christ. More than that, I regard everything as loss because of

the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I

have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order

that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of

my own that comes from the law, but one that comes through faith in

Christ, the righteousness from God based on faith. I want to know Christ

and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by

becoming like him in his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection

from the dead. Not that I have already obtained this or have already

reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus

has made me his own. Beloved, I do not consider that I have made it my

own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining

forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the

heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.

Reader The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God.

Holy Gospel Matthew 21:33-46

All stand.

Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to

Matthew.

People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Jesus said, “Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who

planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a wine press in it, and built

a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenants and went to another country.

When the harvest time had come, he sent his slaves to the tenants to

collect his produce. But the tenants seized his slaves and beat one, killed

another, and stoned another. Again he sent other slaves, more than the

first; and they treated them in the same way. Finally he sent his son to

them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But when the tenants saw the

son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and

get his inheritance.’ So they seized him, threw him out of the vineyard,

and killed him. Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he

do to those tenants?” They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a

miserable death, and lease the vineyard to other tenants who will give

him the produce at the harvest time.” Jesus said to them, “Have you

never read in the scriptures: ‘The stone that the builders rejected has

become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is amazing in

our eyes’? Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away

from you and given to a people that produces the fruits of the kingdom.

The one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and it will crush

anyone on whom it falls.” When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard

his parables, they realized that he was speaking about them. They wanted

to arrest him, but they feared the crowds, because they regarded him as a

prophet.

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.

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.

We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.

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. The Priest stands and says

The people stand or kneel.

The Celebrant continues

We 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.” 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,

We remember his death,

We proclaim his resurrection,

We await his coming in glory; The Celebrant continues

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. AMEN.

The Celebrant then continues

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 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.
