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.

Worship Notes for LentThe Worship of God is a deep and long river — its sources are as ancient as human communities, and each generation adds to that great, flowing stream. Part of what moves us so deeply about worship is its connection to the human longings and revelations of the past. At the same time, worship is constantly evolving, as we experience God in our own time. We immerse ourselves in this dynamic intersection and flow of the human and divine each Sunday. Worship is always alive and changing.

Our liturgy changes seasonally —Lent brings a different pace, texture and tone, and order of service, as we prepare for the Easter feast. Our liturgy also changes in larger ways, as communities grow and evolve, and with new leadership. As Lent now begins you may notice many of these changes, some seasonal and some more lasting. Notice at a deeper level how they affect your prayer; how do they open up fresh ways of experiencing God?

All change in the content and flow of worship, at its best, seeks to more fully carry us into the heart of God. Let us prepare with joy for the Easter feast!

The First Sunday in Lent8am The Holy Eucharist Rite II

February 22, 2015

The Entrance RiteThe service is taken from The Book of Common Prayer (BCP), beginning on page 351.

Celebrant Bless the Lord who forgives all our sins.

People His mercy endures for ever.

Celebrant Jesus said, “The first commandment is this: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is the only Lord. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.

Please stand or kneel as you are able.

All 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.

Celebrant 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.

The Collect of the DayCelebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you.

Celebrant Let us pray.

Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. People Amen.

The Liturgy of the WordPlease be seated for the reading.

The Hebrew Scripture Genesis 9:8–17

Reader A Reading from the Book of Genesis.

God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark. I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

Reader The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God.

Psalm 25:1-9All To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;

my God, I put my trust in you; *

let me not be humiliated,

nor let my enemies triumph over me.

Let none who look to you be put to shame; *

let the treacherous be disappointed in their schemes.

Show me your ways, O LORD, *

and teach me your paths.

Lead me in your truth and teach me, *

for you are the God of my salvation;

in you have I trusted all the day long.

Remember, O LORD, your compassion and love, *

for they are from everlasting.

Remember not the sins of my youth and my transgressions; *

remember me according to your love

and for the sake of your goodness, O LORD.

Gracious and upright is the LORD; *

therefore he teaches sinners in his way.

He guides the humble in doing right *

and teaches his way to the lowly.

All the paths of the LORD are love and faithfulness *

to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

The Holy Gospel Mark 1:9–15

Please stand for the reading as you are able.

Celebrant The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark. People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”

And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him.

Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.”

Celebrant The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The Sermon The Rev. Kristin Miles

A brief silence follows the sermon.

Please stand as you are able.

The Nicene CreedAll 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 n 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 PeopleIntercessor Let us pray for the Church and for the world.

Grant, almighty God, that all who confess your Name, may be united in your truth, live together in your love, and reveal your glory in the world. We give thanks for all who serve faithfully in their ministries, for the clergy of this parish, and for our bishops; we pray especially for the Rev. Dr. William Lupfer who begins his service to this parish as rector. We also pray especially for those we now name aloud.

Lord, in your mercy, People Hear our prayer.

Intercessor Guide the people of this land and of all the nations, in the ways of justice and peace; that we may honor one another and serve the common good. We pray for Barack our president, Andrew our governor and Bill the mayor of New York City, Ki-moon the secretary general of the United Nations.

Lord, in your mercy People Hear our prayer.

Intercessor Give us all a reverence for the earth as your own creation, that we may use its resources rightly in the service of others and to your honor and glory.

Lord, in your mercy,

People Hear our prayer.

Intercessor Bless all whose lives are closely linked with ours, especially those who visit today, for those who worship on the internet, and for those who celebrate birthdays this week; and grant that we may serve Christ in them, and love one another as he loves us. Please offer other prayers of thanksgiving at this time.

Lord, in your mercy, People Hear our prayer.

Intercessor Comfort those who are unemployed and heal all those who suffer in body, mind, or spirit; we bring before you those on our parish prayer list and also for those we now name. Give them courage and hope in their troubles, and bring them the joy of your salvation.

Lord, in your mercy, People Hear our prayer.

Intercessor We commend to your mercy all who have died, that your will for them may be fulfilled; Please name those who have died. We pray that they may share with all your saints in your eternal kingdom.

Lord, in your mercy, People Hear our prayer.

The Celebrant concludes with the following Collect.

Celebrant Support us, O Lord, with your gracious favor through our observance of this holy season; that as we observe it by prayer and self-denial, so we may fulfill it with inner sincerity of heart; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

People Amen.

People And also with you.

The people greet one another in the name of the Lord.

Please be seated.

The Great Thanksgiving BCP 361, Eucharistic Prayer A

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 him thanks and praise.

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, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who was tempted in every way as we are, yet did not sin. By his grace we are able to triumph over every evil, and to live no longer for ourselves alone, but for him who died for us and rose again.

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:

SanctusAll Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,

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.

Please stand or kneel as you are able.

Celebrant 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:

All Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

Celebrant 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.

All AMEN.

Celebrant And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

People 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.

Congregational Voice“Be still, and know that I am God!” (Psalm 46:10) By far, this is my favorite scripture. I first saw it emblazoned on a high beam over the church’s altar in Omaha, NE when my brother married his sweetheart 22 years ago. Catching everyone’s attention was obvious; sinking deep into my spirit was intense and intentional. Years later, during the darkest years of my own marriage, I remembered

Vestry ElectionTuesday, April 7, 2015 | 4 pm to 8 pm

Trinity Church

The provision of the Ordinances specifying who may vote at the annual Vestry election reads as follows:

“Persons Entitled to Vote: All persons who on the date of an annual election shall have attained the age of 18 years and who, for the space of one year preceding such annual election, shall have been duly enrolled on the Parish’s records as members of the Congregation and shall have partaken of the Holy Communion within said year in the Parish and shall have contributed to the support of the Parish by a recorded gift of any amount in the preceding year, and no other persons, shall be entitled to vote at such annual election.”

Please note: The requirement that an eligible voter has contributed to the support of the Parish by a recorded gift in any amount in the year preceding the election was added by the Vestry to the Ordinances last year as part of the comprehensive revision conducted in consultation with the Congregational Council. It is a common requirement to be a voting member of an Episcopal Church. The Vestry intends the requirement to be applied liberally to include any financial gift or pledge or fulfillment of any pledge or bequest or intention to make a bequest that is recorded at any time in the preceding year up to and including the moment prior to the casting of the voter’s ballot.

Please note further: The register of eligible voters is available for inspection in the Office of the Rector, 120 Broadway, 38th floor, and a member of the congregation may confirm that his or her name is included on the register by emailing [email protected]. Every person entitled to vote at the annual election whose name has not been entered on the register of voters may be added to the rolls by making an application to the Rector at the above email address stating briefly the facts supporting his or her inclusion. Application may also be made in person the on the day of the election at the polling place in Trinity Church.

Mail Ballots: For the first time this year ballots may be submitted by mail. Ballots and prepaid reply envelopes will be mailed to all persons whose names are listed on the register on or about March 23, 2015. In addition ballots and prepaid reply envelopes will be made available in Trinity Church and St. Paul’s Chapel during the three weeks preceding the election. Persons submitting a mail ballot must print legibly and then sign his or her name on the back of the reply envelope so that eligibility to vote can be determined from the register prior to the reply envelope being opened and the ballot submitted for counting.

that scripture. Peace rippled through me; my spirit settled as I heard “Shhh; I’m in control; I got this covered.” This scripture is now imprinted in 100 point type size and set in a dark wood picture frame that sits on my nightstand next to my bed. At sunrise when I’m already apprehensive about the day or at midnight when I’m exhausted by the day, I look at my reminder—He’s got this covered, too. —Regina Jacobs
