Faith“For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a
mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move
from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will
be impossible for you.” —Matthew 17:20
Integrity“Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there
is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
—Philippians 4:8
Inclusiveness “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor
free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one
in Christ Jesus.” —Galatians 3:28
Compassion“When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he
had compassion on them and healed their sick.”
—Matthew 14:14
Social Justice“He has showed you what is good; and what the Lord
requires of you: to do justice, and to love kindness and
to walk humbly with your God.” —Micah 6:8
Stewardship“There will come seven years of great plenty
throughout all the land of Egypt. After them there
will arise seven years of famine, and all the plenty will
be forgotten in the land of Egypt; the famine will
consume the world.”—Genesis 41:29–30
MissionIn the spirit of the Gospels, the mission of Trinity Church Wall Street is to build generations of faithful leadership,
to build up neighborhoods, and to build financial capacity for holy service in New York City and around
the world. Our mission is grounded in our core values.
VisionWe seek to serve and heal the world by building neighborhoods that live gospel truths, generations of
faithful leaders, and sustainable communities.
Core Values
Core Values guide us in carrying out our mission and realizing our vision.
By their nature, core values are touchstones for prayer, discernment, ongoing conversation, and action. We seek
a deep understanding and ongoing engagement with Trinity’s Core Values. Over the years, we will continue
reflecting on what our Core Values mean in their application; how they challenge and inform decisions and actions
in Trinity’s ministries, and how they help our ministries be aligned with our mission and vision.

Welcome to St. Paul’s ChapelPlease add your voice and heart to the prayers. Everyone is welcome at Jesus’ Table, and everyone’s voice is needed to tell the Good News of God’s love in Christ. Please help others find a place near you, and greet the person next to you as we prepare to worship together.
If you would like to pray with someone confidentially, for yourself or others, go to the altar rail during communion time.
About this ServiceEaster is the highest holiday of the Christian year—a celebration of the event that defines our Church: the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, fulfilling the scriptural foretelling of the Messiah. Like spring itself, the Paschal feast brings the promise of new life. The Easter season, also known as Eastertide, continues until the Day of Pentecost, which occurs on June 4 this year.
After weeks of preparation and reflection, more joyful elements return to the liturgy. The service is restored from the penitential order, and the confession is dormant throughout this jubilant season. Gloria, a song of praise, replaces the Trisagion, a supplication for mercy; and the word alleluia (“Praise the Lord”)—which has not been spoken during the past 40 days of Lent—is proclaimed enthusiastically, and will remain in acclamations, fractions, hymns, and dismissals throughout Eastertide.

The Liturgy of the WordThe First Reading 1 Peter 2:2-10 GWMV p. 121, adapted
Reader A Reading from the first letter of Peter.
Be like newborn babies, who long and cry out for pure milk. Long for spiritual milk that will help you grow in the knowledge and love of God. Taste and see that God is good.
Come to God. Even if other people reject you or hurt you, know that, to God, you are precious. God will use you, like living stones, to build a spiritual house. And all you do will be made acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. All of you together are God’s own people, called into marvelous light to proclaim God’s power and goodness to the world. Everything has changed for you now: Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people: people who know mercy because they’ve received it.

The Holy Gospel John 14:1-14 GWMV p. 122, adapted
Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Deacon Jesus told his disciples, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, and believe in me. In God’s house there are many dwelling places; I’m going ahead to make sure your place is ready for you. And then I’ll come back, and bring you there myself, even though you know the way.”
Thomas said, “What? Why would you think we know the way? We don’t know where you’re going, much less know how to get there.” Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. Everyone who comes to the Father comes through me. If you know me, you know my Father, too.”
Philip said, “Show the Father to us, Jesus, and we’ll be satisfied.” Jesus said, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still don’t know who I am? If you’ve seen me, then you’ve seen the Father. Don’t say, ‘Show me the Father.’ I know it’s hard to understand, but I am in the Father and the Father is in me. And the words I speak aren’t just my own. They belong to the Father. All the work I do is in the Father’s name. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, to the glory of God.”
The Gospel of the Lord.People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Celebrant It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
You raised your son, Jesus Christ, to life triumphant over death; you exalted him in glory. Through his victory, the reign of sin has ended, a new age has dawned, a broken world is restored, and we are made whole once more.
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:
Sanctus WLP 785
Sung twice.
Words: Variation on a traditional liturgical text; Music: Composer of melody unknown; arr. based on a two-part version as taught by Pablo D. Sosa (b. 1933)
Celebrant 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,
All We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;
Celebrant 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 the Blessed Mary, Saint Paul, and 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.
All AMEN.
The Lord’s Prayer BCP p. 364
Celebrant And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,All 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.

Trinity Cares—In Your NeighborhoodIn the coming months, members of the congregation will begin hosting gatherings in their neighborhoods to get to know parishioners who are also neighbors. Gatherings may be as simple as coffee nearby, or a potluck meal in someone’s home or building. The first gathering will be in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn in June. If you live in Bed-Stuy and would like to attend, or if you would be interested in hosting or attending gatherings in other neighborhoods, please contact Ellen Andrews at [email protected].

The Sisters are InWeekdays, Trinity ChurchFive days a week, for an hour each day, a Sister of St. Margaret sits quietly in a pew, waiting for anyone who needs to talk, pray, or just sit quietly with someone. “Sister Gloria and I share this ministry,” Sister Ann Whittaker, SSM, said. “I firmly believe people in the world need someone to listen to them in a non-judgmental way. But it also takes courage for the person speaking to come and do it!” The sisters are in most weekday mornings or afternoons before or after the 12:05pm service.

Congregational Voice“Hallelujah! Praise God in his holy temple; praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts; praise him for his excellent
greatness. Praise him with the blast of the ram’s-horn; praise him with lyre and harp. Praise him with timbrel and dance; praise him with strings and pipe. Praise him with resounding cymbals; praise him with loud-clanging cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Hallelujah!” (Psalm 150: Laudate Dominum). Need we say anything about this? It totally speaks for itself! It’s all about praising God because God gives us grace. Say no more! —Scott Smith, Head Sacristan

This is a service of Holy Eucharist according to Rite II, which begins on page 355 of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP). Scripture readings are appointed by the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) and are excerpted from God’s Word, My Voice (GWMV) by Lyn Zill Briggs, which is a version of Biblical texts considered more accessible for children. Hymns come from The Hymnal 1982, Wonder, Love and Praise (WLP), and Lift Every Voice and Sing (LEVAS); service music not otherwise credited is composed by Joshua Anand Slater. The Prayers of the People and other service elements usually taken from the BCP may also come from additional sources as noted, including the Book of Occasional Services (BOS),
Enriching Our Worship (EOW), and A New Zealand Prayer Book (NZPB).

The image on the bulletin cover is the Trinity Seal. Inspired by The Revelation to John 10:1–10, it represents the arrival of the first Anglican Church in the colony of New York in 1697. The seal features a “mighty angel” with a “face like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire,” straddling the sea and the land and transferring the Gospel, brought from England by the ship, to a child, a symbol of the young colony of New York. In the scroll below the angel’s feet appear the words “JURO TEMPUS NON FORE AMPLIUS” which translate as “I Swear That There Shall Be No More Delay,” referring to the urgency of establishing the Church. Bulletin cover poetry is from the Revised Common Lectionary project sponsored by the Jean and Alexander Heard Library and the Vanderbilt Divinity Library, a division of the Heard Library.
