Welcome Ancient Christians believed that there were “thin places” on this earth; places where you could experience the presence of God. Worship is the “thin place” between heaven and earth where we meet with God. When we gather for congregational worship, we along with the communion of saints, enter into the very throne room of God. No matter who you are or what you have done, through faith in Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, God the Father is able to change your life forever. Anglican’s believe that worship is centered on God’s great love for the world. Anglican theologian Ashley Null writes, “Divine gracious love, constantly communicated by the Holy Spirit in the regular repetition of Scripture’s promises through Word and Sacrament, is to inspire human love, drawing believers towards God and their fellow human beings in the pursuit of lifelong godliness.”* At Redeemer, we believe that a healthy, growing lifestyle of worship is grounded in God’s love. We call it a “Rhythm of Love.” We seek to imprint this rhythm on our very souls, to understand God, ourselves and others. Everything we do at Redeemer is centered on His command to “Love God” and to “Love People.”
The Rhythm of Love 1. Gathering in God’s Name 2. Hearing God’s Word 3. Praying for the World 4. Preparing For Communion 5. Celebrating God’s Grace 6. Going Out To Serve Ashley Null, writing on the work of Archbishop Thomas Cranmer (1489–1556), the principal author of The Book of Common Prayer

Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden; cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, so that we may perfectly love you, and worthily glorify your holy name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Welcome Confession and Assurance of Forgiveness Our Lord Jesus Christ said: ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22:37-40) People

LENT 4 After a brief silence for reflection, all join in a general confession.
Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men and women, we acknowledge and confess our many sins, which we have committed from time to time, by thought, word, and deed, against your divine majesty, provoking most justly your wrath and indignation against us. We earnestly repent, and are deeply sorry for all our wrongdoings. Have mercy on us most merciful Father. For your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, forgive us all that is past, And grant that from this time forward We may serve and please you in newness of life, To the honor and glory of your name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The minister, standing, says,
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ promises to pardon and deliver all who truly repent and sincerely believe his holy gospel. May God grant you true repentance and his Holy Spirit, so that forgiven and cleansed from your sins your lives may be holy, shielded by God’s power until Christ comes. Amen.
The Comfortable Words My little children, I am writing you these things so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ the righteous one. He himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world. I John 2:1-2

HEARING GOD’S WORD Minister
Let us turn our attention to the ministry of the Word.
First Reading: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Exodus 24:1-4a; 15-18 (CSB) 1 Then
he said to Moses, “Go up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of Israel’s elders, and bow in worship at a distance. 2 Moses alone is to approach the Lord, but the others are not to approach, and the people are not to go up with him.” 3 Moses came and told the people all the commands of the Lord and all the ordinances. Then all the people responded with a single voice, “We will do everything that the Lord has commanded.” 4 And Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord. When Moses went up the mountain, the cloud covered it. 16 The glory of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day he called to Moses from the cloud. 17 The appearance of the Lord’s glory to the Israelites was like a consuming fire on the mountaintop. 18 Moses entered the cloud as he went up the mountain, and he remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights. 15
The Word of the Lord.
The Psalm: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Psalm 32:1-6, 11 (CSB) 1 How joyful is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered! 2 How joyful is a person whom the Lord does not charge with iniquity and in whose spirit is no deceit! 3 When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was drained as in the summer’s heat. Selah 5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not conceal my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah 6 Therefore let everyone who is faithful pray to you immediately. When great floodwaters come, they will not reach him. 11 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. Matthew Glory to you Lord Christ
The Gospel is read. 1 When
Jesus had finished saying all these things, he told his disciples, 2 “You know that the Passover takes place after two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.” 3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas, 4 and they conspired to arrest Jesus in a treacherous way and kill him. 5 “Not during the festival,” they said, “so there won’t be rioting among the people.” 6 While Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman approached him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume. She poured it on his head as he was reclining at the table. 8 When the disciples saw it, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. 9 “This might have been sold for a great deal and given to the poor.” 10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a noble thing for me. Minister People

The Apostle’s Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

You are indeed worthy, Lord God, to receive all glory and honor and power; for you created all things and by your will they existed and were created. But especially we praise you, heavenly Father, for our Savior Jesus Christ, bright image of your glory, and your eternal Word, who took the form of a servant, was born in our likeness, and died for us on the cross. By his death he has offered the one perfect sacrifice, all that was needed to take away the sins of the world. There he met in full all the demands of your justice. By his rising to life, he has restored us to life eternal, and has given us your promised Holy Spirit, the guarantee of our inheritance.
