TRINITY ANGLICAN CHURCH
10:30 WORSHIP GUIDE
PENTECOST 8
3 AUGUST 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.

The Processional
The Processional is the act of movement in worship by a group of people for the sake of all. In the Entrance, the procession symbolizes the entire congregation coming before the Lord.”
THE CHURCH’S ONE FOUNDATION Text: Samuel J. Stone Tune: Samuel S. Wesley 1. The Church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ, her Lord; She is His new creation by water and the Word: From heav’n He came and sought her to be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her, and for her life He died.
3. ‘Mid toil and tribulation and tumult of her war, She waits the consummation of peace forevermore; Till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest.
2. Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth; Her charter of salvation: one Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food; And to one hope she presses with every grace endued.
4. Yet she on earth hath union with God, the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with Thee.
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.

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.

People
Amen!
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 .......................................................... Acts 15:22-‐31
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 133 Read responsively by half-‐verse 1 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

The Sermon*
C H U R C H 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.
The Rev. Jonathan G. Smith, Rector
The Sermon Guide:
John 17:20-‐21 (NLT) – 20 “I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. 21 I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one— as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. Acts 15:22–31 (NLT) — 22 Then the apostles and elders together with the whole church in Jerusalem chose delegates, and they sent them to Antioch of Syria with Paul and Barnabas to report on this decision. The men chosen were two of the church leaders—Judas (also called Barsabbas) and Silas. 23 This is the letter they took with them: “This letter is from the apostles and elders, your brothers in Jerusalem. It is written to the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia. Greetings! 24 “We understand that some men from here have troubled you and upset you with their teaching, but we did not send them! 25 So we decided, having come to complete agreement, to send you official representatives, along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 We are sending Judas and Silas to confirm what we have decided concerning your question. 28 “For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay no greater burden on you than these few requirements: 29 You must abstain from eating food offered to idols, from consuming blood or the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality. If you do this, you will do well. Farewell.” 30 The messengers went at once to Antioch, where they called a general meeting of the believers and delivered the letter. 31 And there was great joy throughout the church that day as they read this encouraging message.

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. 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. 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,
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.
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, Page 11

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 Page 12

The Peace of the Lord be always with you. And with your spirit.
The Offering and Hymn “THE SERVANT SONG” Text and Music: Richard Gillard 1. Brother, sister, let me serve you, Let me be as Christ to you; Pray that I might have the grace to let you be my servant, too. 2. We are pilgrims on a journey; We’re together on this road. We are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load. 3. I will hold the Christ-‐light for you in the nighttime of your fear; I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear.
4. I will weep when you are weeping; When you laugh I’ll laugh with you. I will share your joy and sorrow Till we’ve seen this journey through. 5. When we sing to God in heaven, we shall find such harmony, Born of all we’ve known together of Christ’s love and agony. 6. Brother, sister, let me serve you; Let me be as Christ to you. Pray that I might have the grace to let you be my servant, too.

“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 “I STAND IN AWE” Text and Music: Mark Altrogge You are beautiful beyond description, too marvelous for words; Too wonderful for comprehension, Like nothing ever seen or heard. Who can grasp Your infinite widom? Who can fathom the depth of Your love? You are beautiful beyond description, Majesty enthroned above.
And I stand, I stand in awe of You, I stand, I stand in awe of You; Holy God, to whom all praise is due, I stand in awe of You. (repeat)
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 “RISE UP, O CHURCH OF GOD” Text: William P. Merrill Music: Aaron Williams 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.
