SONG
We will feast in the house of Zion
We will sing with our hearts restored He has done great things we will say together We will feast and weep no more
We will not be burned by the fire He is the Lord our God We are not consumed by the flood
Upheld protected gathered up
We will feast in the house of Zion
We will sing with our hearts restored He has done great things we will say together We will feast and weep no more
In the dark of night before the dawn
My soul be not afraid
For the promised morning oh how long Oh God of Jacob be my strength
We will feast in the house of Zion
We will sing with our hearts restored He has done great things we will say together We will feast and weep no more
WE WILL FEAST IN THE HOUSE OF ZION
Every vow we’ve broken and betrayed
You are the faithful one
And from the garden to the grave
Bind us together bring shalom
We will feast in the house of Zion We will sing with our hearts restored He has done great things we will say together We will feast and weep no more
OPENING ACCLAMATION
Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.
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.
COLLECT OF THE DAY
The Lord be with you. And also with you. Let us pray.
Almighty and everlasting God, increase in us the gifts of faith, hope, and charity; and, that we may obtain what you promise, make us love what you command; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
THE LESSON
ECCLESIASTICUS 35:12 17
Give to the Most High as he has given to you, and as generously as you can afford. For the Lord is the one who repays, and he will repay you sevenfold. Do not offer him a bribe, for
2
he will not accept it and do not rely on a dishonest sacrifice; for the Lord is the judge, and with him there is no partiality. He will not show partiality to the poor; but he will listen to the prayer of one who is wronged. He will not ignore the supplication of the orphan, or the widow when she pours out her complaint.
(Since this lesson is apocryphal there is no concluding sentence)
SONG
Open up my eyes
Open up my heart

So I can listen
Lord, let Your Word
Be upon my mind And upon my lips
And upon my heart
Open up my eyes Open up my heart
Open up my ears
So I can listen
Open up my eyes
Open up my heart Open up my ears
So I can listen
Lord, let Your Word
Be upon my mind
And upon my lips And upon my heart
OPEN UP MY EYES

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke. Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Jesus told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt: “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.”
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Lord Christ.
SERMON THE REVEREND BOB JOHNSTON
NICENE CREED
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. 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:
4 THE GOSPEL LUKE 18:9-14
by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from 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.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He 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.

OFFERTORY SONG DELIGHT IN THE LORD
Bind me, O Lord, close to your loving heart, For without you, helpless, I wander off. There is always something pulling me apart. I cannot keep you in mind, just myself!
Make me, dear Lord, solely delight in you. May I desire to follow in your ways. Fill my mind, Lord, then indeed I will be true. Fill my heart, and I will be truly yours.
Delight, delight, delight in the Lord. Stand in his presence and give him your praise. Gaze on his glory, our certain reward. Adore him through all your life given days.
7
Keep me, O Lord, fro image or event, Luring my poor infant gaze from your face. Hold my body to your Word and Sacrament. Let me love you like the child that I am.
Delight, delight, delight in the Lord. Stand in his presence and give him your praise. Gaze on his glory, our certain reward. Adore him through all your life given days.
Those who delight in you will surely stand. Help me desire only your holy face. Father , may I worship you with heart in hand, while my little soul is filled with your gaze.
Delight, delight, delight in the Lord. Stand in his presence and give him your praise. Gaze on his glory, our certain reward. Adore him through all your life given days.
COMMUNION RITE II PRAYER A
The Lord be with you. And also with you.
Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give him thanks and praise.
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
[ Here the Celebrant includes a proper preface ]
Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:
8
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself, and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all.
He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.
On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”
After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: 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 for the remembrance of me.”
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:
Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts.
Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom.
All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: 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 for ever. AMEN.
9
“And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,”
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
Alleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia
The Gifts of God for the People of God. Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.
