THE FIRST READING:

READER: A Reading from the Word of God written in the Book of 1 Samuel Chapter 1 beginning at the 4th verse On the day when Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters; but to Hannah he gave a double portion, because he loved her, though the LORD had closed her womb. Her rival used to provoke her severely, to irritate her, because the LORD had closed her womb. So it went on year by year; as often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would not eat. Her husband Elkanah said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? Why is your heart sad? Am I not more to you than ten sons?�

After they had eaten and drunk at Shiloh, Hannah rose and presented herself before the LORD. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat beside the doorpost of the temple of the LORD. She was deeply distressed and prayed to the LORD, and wept bitterly. She made this vow: "O LORD of hosts, if only you will look on the misery of your servant, and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a male child, then I will set him before you as a nazirite until the day of his death. He shall drink !3

neither wine nor intoxicants, and no razor shall touch his head.” As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli observed her mouth. Hannah was praying silently; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard; therefore Eli thought she was drunk. So Eli said to her, "How long will you make a drunken spectacle of yourself? Put away your wine.” But Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman deeply troubled; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the LORD. Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation all this time.” Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; the God of Israel grant the petition you have made to him.” And she said, "Let your servant find favor in your sight." Then the woman went to her quarters, ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was sad no longer. They rose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD; then they went back to their house at Ramah. Elkanah knew his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her. In due time Hannah conceived and bore a son. She named him Samuel, for she said, "I have asked him of the LORD." Reader: ALL:

Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God

Psalm 16 1. Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in you;* I have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, my good above all other.”

2. All my delight is upon the godly that are in the land,* upon those who are noble among the people.

3. But those who run after other gods* shall have their troubles multiplied.

4. Their libations of blood I will not offer,* nor take the names of their gods upon my lips.

5. O Lord, you are my portion and my cup;* it is you who uphold my lot. !4

6. My boundaries enclose a pleasant land;* indeed, I have a goodly heritage.

7. I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel;* my heart teaches me, night after night.

8. I have set the Lord always before me,* because he is at my right hand I shall not fall.

9. My heart, therefore, is glad, and my spirit rejoices;* my body also shall rest in hope.

10.For you will not abandon me to the grave,* nor let your holy one see the Pit. 11.You will show me the path of life;* in your presence there is fullness of joy, and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son * and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning is now * and shall be forever. Amen THE EPISTLE READER: A Reading from the Word of God written in Hebrews Chapter 10 beginning at the 11th verse And every priest stands day after day at his service, offering again and again the same sacrifices that can never take away sins. But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, "he sat down at the right hand of God,� and since then has been waiting "until his enemies would be made a footstool for his feet.� For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. Therefore, my friends, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh), and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies !5

washed with pure water.

Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Reader: ALL:

Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God.

THE HOLY GOSPEL The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark Glory to Christ our Saviour.

As he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!” Then Jesus asked him, "Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.” When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign that all these things are about to be accomplished?” Then Jesus began to say to them, "Beware that no one leads you astray. Many will come in my name and say, 'I am he!' and they will lead many astray. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is still to come. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. This is but the beginning of the birthpangs.

The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord !6

From the Rector's Notebook Greetings: In two weeks time once again our parish will see members of our congregation being presented to a Bishop for Holy Confirmation.

The Sacrament of Holy Confirmation is a fascinating rite which consists of the laying-on-of hand by the Bishop and Anointing.

This is an ancient and prescriptive rite going back into antiquity as part of the rite of Christian initiation.

Paul Turner reminds that scholars have long regarded the ancient Church Order Apostolic Tradition (AT) of Hippolytus as the oldest liturgical document which describes the ritual of confirmation.

The process of the evolution of sacramental rites is complex and so we are the inheritors of ancient practices in which the church sought to bring persons into the Christian fold.

Frank Quinn tells us that when the word baptism is mentioned we think of a rite including water and trinitarian formula, a ritual that is connected to the mystical washing away of sin and incorporation into the church.

Quinn says that when we speak of confirmation the development is not as simple; even though he acknowledges that the rite did liturgically involve the imposition of hands with prayer for the Holy Spirit.

There is enough evidence to suggest that the baptism (water) rite and that of hand laying !7

occurred together. It was later in the medieval period that there developed a time lapse between these two rites.

Despite the separation in time, these two rites along with participating fully in the Holy Eucharist for the first time are intrinsically linked and belong essentially together.

Parents of young people and teenagers, along with God parents, play vital roles in ensuring that not only should our children participate in these rites; but that they be assisted in being sustained so that as they grow into adulthood the would grow in grace, and in the power of God’s Holy Spirit.

We laud those who come to make this major step and we look forward to them all playing significant roles within God’s Church, using their gifts and skills for the good of all.

Please pray for those to be Confirmed on Sunday December 2, 2018.

Your friend and priest, Noel A. Burke, MA (The Rev'd Canon) Rector An Advent Quiet Evening organized by The Commission on Liturgy Spirituality and Music will be held in the St. David’s Church on Saturday December 8, 2018 3:00pm - 5:00pm “In Sacrament and Prayer: Preparing to celebrate Christmas”

HEALTH CORNER

By SOPHIA MARSHALL, Ph.d

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by prostate cells. It is mostly found in semen but a small amount is present in the blood.

Measuring the PSA level can increase the chance of finding prostate cancer at an early stage.

A high PSA level has been linked to an increased chance of having prostate cancer.

However other conditions can cause elevated PSA levels as well. If the result of the test is abnormal, a prostate biopsy is needed to determine if you have cancer. A PSA test does not diagnose cancer, but it can be used along with other tests to determine if cancer is present.

Most healthy men have levels under 4 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) of blood. When prostate cancer is present, the PSA level usually goes above 4ng/ml.

This test is available at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, for a small fee and the results should be taken to the referring doctor for interpretation.

Men, please take advantage of this service, it may save your life. Early detection is your best protection!
