TRINITY ANGLICAN CHURCH
10:30 WORSHIP GUIDE
PENTECOST 7
27 JULY 2014
T R I N I T Y A N G L I C A N C H U R C H
Welcome Thank you for joining us today as we gather together to worship our Savior and King, Jesus. This service is a liturgical service, meaning the congregation is an active participant. Theologian James K.A. Smith writes, liturgy “shapes and constitutes our identity by forming our most basic attunement to the world... our ultimate love/desire is shaped by practices, not [only] ideas that are merely communicated to us.” So we orient our heart and mind through the rhythm of poetry, song, vows, music, bread and wine. And through that process, we immerse ourselves into the ancient story of the Christian faith. In the liturgy, the congregation participates in the bold liturgy. During the Communion portion of our service, all baptized Christians are welcome to the Lord’s Table. Restrooms are located in the outside breezeway located next to the parking lot. At this time please silent your phones or noisemakers.
Preparation As we gather together into this sacred time, quietly consider anew the mystery of the Word becoming flesh and dwelling among us. Just as Jesus the Christ was present two thousand years ago walking with and among his people, so we believe that in the gathering together of God’s holy church, Jesus meets us here as our risen Lord and King.

“COME, THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING” Text: Robert Robinson Tune: Traditional American Melody 1. Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace. Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above; Praise His name – I’m fixed upon it – Name of God’s redeeming love. 2. Hitherto Thy love has blest me; Thou hast brought me to this place; And I know Thy hand will bring me Safely home by Thy good grace. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wondering from the fold of God; He to rescue me from danger, Bought me with His precious blood.
3. O to grace how great a debtor Daily I’m constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee; Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here’s my heart, O take and seal it; Seal it for Thy courts above.
The Acclamation Celebrant
Blessed be God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit..
People
And blessed be his kingdom, now and forever. Amen

The Collect for Purity Celebrant Let us pray. Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
The Rector’s Welcome* At this time, children are invited to come forward to receive a blessing and then dismissed to Sunday School or Nursery.
The Summary of the Law Jesus 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 great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 22:37-‐40 Celebrant People Celebrant
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
The Gloria 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.

Why do we sing in church? As God's people gather for worship, we focus our attention on God and away from ourselves by singing together. We respond with thanksgiving to God, because we have hope. And we sing because it is the best and most complete response that we can utter.

O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us your mercy; that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

The Ministry of the Word* After each Lesson, the Reader will say Reader People
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
First Lesson .................................................... Genesis 29:15-‐28
As Gospel-‐Centered Anglicans, we believe the Bible is the primary means by which God speaks to and edifies his people. Therefore we read and listen to the Scriptures together in worship to discern the will of our Father on earth as it is in heaven.
The Psalm ................................................................................................... Psalm 105:1-‐11, 45b Read responsively by half-‐verse 105 Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! 2
Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!
3
Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
4
Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!
5
Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,
6
O offspring of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob, his chosen ones!

Sequence Song or Hymn “GOD HAS SPOKEN by HIS PROPHETS” Text: George W. Boggs, altered Music: John Zundel 1.God has spoken by His prophets, Spoken His unchanging Word, Each from age to age proclaiming God, The one, the righteous Lord. In the world’s despair and turmoil One firm anchor holds us fast; God is King, His throne eternal, God the First and God the Last. 2.God has spoken by Christ Jesus, Christ the everlasting Son, Brightness of the Father’s glory, With the Father ever one; Spoken by the Word incarnate,
2.(cont) God of God, ere time was born; Light of Light, to earth descending, Christ as God in human form. 3. God is speaking b y His Spirit, Speaking to our hearts again; In the ageless Word expounding God’s own message, now as then. Through the rise and fall of nations One sure faith yet standing fast; God abides, His Word unchanging, God the First and God the Last. Page 7

The Sermon*
Hear God’s Message. Pray for the readers, the preacher, the witnesses and others who may bring a word from God. Pray that the ears and hearts of everyone will be open and respond to God.
Mr. Lee Burrows
Matthew 13:31–33 (ESV) — 31 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” 33 He told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.” Matthew 13:44–52 (ESV) — 44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it. 47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. 48 When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous 50 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 51 “Have you understood all these things?” They said to him, “Yes.” 52 And he said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.” Page 8

The Affirmation of Faith “The Nicene Creed” We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, visible and invisible.
Prayer is a vital act in Christian worship. To aid in preparing the congregation for prayer, the church developed litanies dating back to the early church of Antioch. A litany is a prayer form in which a minister says or sings a petition followed by a congregational response. Prayer doesn’t change God-‐ prayer changes us. Through prayer we are changed and transformed into the image and likeness of Jesus Christ. To pray means that we must be open and willing to change.
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, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and 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, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified who 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* After each petition the following is said Minister People
Lord in your mercy. Hear our prayer.
Minister
Let us pray for the whole state of Christ’s Church and the world.
Almighty and ever-‐living God, in your holy Word you have taught us to offer prayers and requests, and to give thanks for all whom you have made. We appeal to your mercy, Gracious Lord, that you might hear our prayer. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer. Page 9

Inspire your universal Church by your Spirit, granting that all who confess your holy Name may agree in the truth of your holy Word and live in unity and godly love. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer. Give grace, heavenly Father, to all Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, that by their life and teaching, they may proclaim your true and life-‐giving Word, and rightly administer your holy Sacraments. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer. Help us to fulfill your great commission; making disciples of all nations; teaching them to obey all that you have commanded. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer. We ask you to rule the hearts of all who govern us, especially Barak Obama, our President. May they administer justice, govern wisely, and strive for the welfare and peace of the whole world. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer. Grant your heavenly grace to all people, especially these gathered here, that with meek and reverent hearts, we may hear and trust your holy Word, devoting our lives to your righteous service. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer. We humbly ask you, gracious Lord, to comfort and strengthen all those who, in this earthly life are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer. I invite you to add your own requests at this time. Spontaneous prayers are offered here. We bless your holy Name for all your servants who departed this life in your faith and fear, praying you would grant us grace to follow their good examples, that with them we might partake in your heavenly kingdom. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer.

Minister Heavenly Father, grant these our prayers for Jesus Christ’s sake, our only Mediator and Advocate, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.
Confession and Absolution* Minister All who truly and earnestly repent of your sins, and seek to be reconciled with your neighbors, and intend to lead the new life, following the commandments of God, and walking in his holy ways: draw near with faith and make your humble confession to Almighty God.
Repent. Because sin is so pervasive in our lives, examine your conduct by the rule of God’s Commandments. Repent of your sin, and forgive those who have sinned against you so that your Heavenly Father may forgive you. Fully receive God’s Love in your heart, mind, body and spirit.
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, our heavenly Father, who in his great mercy has promised forgiveness of sins to all those, who sincerely repent and with true faith turn to him, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

“The Eucharist is the definitive action practiced in the Christian community that keeps Jesus Christ before us as the Savior of the world and our Savior, and ourselves as sinners in need of being saved. The Eucharist is the sacramental act that pulls us into actual material participation with Christ (eating and drinking bread and wine) as he gives his very life “for us and for our salvation” (cf., the Nicene Creed)... The Eucharist puts Jesus in his place: dying on the cross and giving us that sacrificed life. And it puts us in our place: opening our hands and receiving the remission of our sins, which is our salvation.” • Eugene Peterson, Christ
Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who on the first day of the week overcame death and the grave, and by his glorious resurrection opened to us the way of everlasting life. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:
The Sanctus Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of power and might. Heaven and earth are full, full of Your glory. Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest.

The Prayer of Consecration Almighty God, our heavenly Father, in your tender mercy, you gave your only Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption. He offered himself and made, once for all time, a perfect and sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. He instituted this remembrance of his passion and death, which he commanded us to continue until he comes again. So now, Father, we ask you to bless and sanctify, with your Word and Holy Spirit, these gifts of bread and wine that we may partake of his most blessed Body and Blood. On the night that he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take, eat; this is my Body which is given for you: Do this in remembrance of me.” After supper, Jesus took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink this, all of you; for 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 in remembrance of me.”
The Proclamation Celebrant All
Therefore, we proclaim the mystery of faith: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
Celebrant Lord and heavenly Father, with these holy gifts we celebrate the memorial instituted by your beloved Son, remembering his passion and death, his resurrection and ascension, and his promise to come again. Grant that by his merits and death, and through faith in his Blood, we and your whole Church may receive forgiveness of our sins and all other benefits of his passion, making us one body with him that he may dwell in us, and we in him. And here we offer to you, O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies, to be a living sacrifice, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The Great Amen Celebrant 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 forever. AMEN

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.
The Fraction Celebrant People
Alleluia. Christ our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed for us, once for all upon the cross. Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia.
The Prayer of Humble Access* We do not presume to come to this your table, merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in your abundant and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under your table. But you are the same Lord, who always delights in showing mercy. Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of your dear Son Jesus Christ and to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.
The Ministry of Communion All Christians are welcome to receive communion. Note: Trinity Anglican Church uses real wine.

Communion Song “COME, HOLY SPIRIT” Text: Gloria Gaither and William J. Gaither Music: William J. Gaither 1. Come as wisdom to children; Come as new sight to the blind. Come, Lord, as strength to my weakness; Take me: soul, body and mind. REFRAIN: Come, Holy Spirit, I need You; Come, sweet Spirit, I pray. Come in Your strength and Your power; Come in Your own gentle way.
2. Come as rest to the weary; Come as a balm for the sore. Come as a dew to my dryness; Fill me with joy evermore. 3. Come like a spring in the desert; Come to the withered of soul. O let Your sweet healing power Touch me and make me whole.
Post Communion Prayer Heavenly Father, we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and for assuring us in these holy mysteries that we are living members of the Body of your Son, and heirs of your eternal kingdom. And now, Father, send us out into the world to do the work you have given us to do, to love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and forever. Amen.

The Blessing of the Congregation The peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you, and remain with you always. Amen.
“The blessing is an authoritative declaration of God’s favor on the people. Like the Aaronic blessing of the Hebrew form (Num. 6:24–26), the Christian blessing proclaims God’s continued presence with the people of God’s name, ‘ (Phil. 4:7).”
Recessional Hymn “WE ARE CALLED TO BE GOD’S PEOPLE” Text: Thomas A. Jackson Music: Franz Joseph Haydn 1. We are called to be God’s people, Showing by our lives His grace, One in heart and one in spirit, Sign of hope for all the race. Let us show how He has changed us And re-‐made us as His own; Let us share our life together As we shall around His throne. 2. We are called to be God’s servants, Working in His world today; Taking His own task upon us, All His sacred words obey. Let us rise, then, to His summons, Dedicate to Him our all, That we may be faithful servants, Quick to answer now His call.
3 We are called to be God’s prophets, Speaking for the truth and right; Standing firm for godly justice, Bringing evil into light. Let us seek the courage needed, Our high calling to fulfill, That we all may know the blessing Of the doing of God’s will.
