and All Angels Episcopal Church
The Ninth Sunday After Pentecost
July 21, 2024
5:30 PM TRADITIONAL Saint Michael Chapel
WELCOME
FROM THE VICE RECTOR
The Rev. Ken Brannon
We’re having a wonderful summer at Saint Michael! Worship attendance has been strong, Robin Hinkle’s series on the “Top 10 Reasons to be an Episcopalian” has been a hit, and financial giving has been steady. We made a real difference in the community by helping with Jubilee Summer Camp, filling the North Dallas Shared Ministry (NDSM) food pantry, and encouraging new volunteers to join the Meals on Wheels delivery team. Summer is not sleepy at Saint Michael!
On Monday, July 22, the next major phase of construction will begin. Things will look quite different when you come to church next Sunday, so be sure to check out the Construction Impact page of our website at saintmichael.org/constructionimpact to see what’s happening. Happily, the renovations to the education wing will be finished in mid-September. Children, youth, and families will help staff decorate the new space on Sunday, September 22, and then we’ll have an open house for the whole parish on Sunday, September 29. Please join us!
I know this is a lot of change, but I am so excited about what this change points to: a vibrant community of Christian disciples who are hopeful for the future and creating new space where our families, friends, and neighbors can experience the love of God and make a positive impact in the community.

Receive the wine by drinking from the chalice as it is offered to you, or by retaining the wafer, to dip lightly into the chalice for yourself.

The Collect of the Day
Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, you know our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have compassion on our weakness, and mercifully give us those things which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask; through the worthiness of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The Lesson Ephesians 2:11-22
Remember that at one time you Gentiles by birth, called “the uncircumcision” by those who are called “the circumcision”—a physical circumcision made in the flesh by human hands— remember that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us. He has abolished the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace, and might reconcile both groups to God in one body through the cross, thus putting to death that hostility through it. So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God.
Lector The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
The Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd; * I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures * and leads me beside still waters. He revives my soul * and guides me along right pathways for his Name’s sake. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil; * for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me; * you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is running over.
Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, * and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
The Gospel Mark 6:30-34, 53-56
The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they hurried there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them. As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. … When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored the boat. When they got out of the boat, people at once recognized him, and rushed about that whole region and began to bring the sick

on mats to wherever they heard he was. And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.
