We’re glad you’re here!

While you’re here with us today, we’d love for you to do two things:

1. Fill out a Welcome Card. They’re in the pew back in front of you, or use the QR code to use the quick, mobile-friendly “Get in Touch” form.

2. Stop by a Welcome Hub in the church lobby

You’ll see greeters wearing “Welcome” ribbons/ lanyards and they can answer questions about a worship service, formation class, or childcare.

We look forward to seeing you soon! Build

At Saint Michael we are all about connecting, serving, and growing. To learn more about us, find ways to get involved, or see a map of the campus, scan the QR code.

Rob Springer leads our Welcome and Engagement ministries at Saint Michael and he would love the opportunity to connect and answer any questions you may have. Feel free to contact him at (903) 405-7447 or rspringer@saintmichael.org.

FROM THE RECTOR

Happy Easter season and welcome to Saint Michael! I’m very glad you’ve joined us for worship today. Please take a moment to fill out the welcome card, either physically or digitally, that can be found on the opposite page or in the pew back in front of you. Our Welcome Team members are in the hallways today to help you with anything you need.

Our Easter celebration continues today. In addition to worship on Sundays, I hope you’ll take advantage of the weekday meditations, available at saintmichael.org/smaapod, offered by our Saint Michael ministry leaders from now through May 26. The meditations are a wonderful way to anchor your life in God day to day.

As we prepare to worship together, I invite you to take a moment and center yourself on God’s presence. Worshiping, learning, and giving together help us grow closer to who God created us to be, and you’re part of that work. May God bless you today and every day, and I hope to see you again very soon!

PRAISE TO THE LORD, THE ALMIGHTY

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

The King of creation

O my soul, praise Him

For He is thy health and salvation

All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near Praise Him in glad adoration

Praise to the Lord

Who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth

Shelters thee under His wings

Yea, so gently sustaineth

Hast thou not seen how thy desires e'er have been Granted in what He ordaineth

Praise to the Lord

Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee

Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee

Ponder anew what the Almighty can do

If with His love He befriend thee

Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him

All that hath life and breath

Come now with praises before Him

Let the ‘Amen' sound from His people again

Gladly forever adore Him

Tag x2 Forever Forever

OPENING ACCLAMATION

Alleluia. Christ is risen. The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia

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.

O God, whose blessed Son made himself known to his disciples in the breaking of bread: Open the eyes of our faith, that we may behold him in all his redeeming work; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

THE LESSON ACTS 2:14a, 36-41

Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd … “Let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.” And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves

from this corrupt generation.” So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added.

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

SONG

Open my lips I will sing Your praise forever

Open my lips oh Lord

I will sing Your praise forever

A broken spirit and a contrite heart

These You will not despise

Open my lips I will sing Your praise forever

Open my lips I will sing Your praise forever

Open my lips oh Lord

I will sing Your praise forever

A broken spirit and a contrite heart

These You will not despise

Open my lips I will sing Your praise forever

OPEN MY LIPS

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke. Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three dwellings here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased;

THE GOSPEL LUKE 24:13-35

listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Get up and do not be afraid.” And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone. As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, “Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Lord Christ.

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: 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,

SERMON THE REVEREND ROBIN HINKLE

NICENE CREED

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.

Prayers of the People: Form VI

In peace, we pray to you, Lord God.

For all people in their daily life and work;

For our families, friends, and neighbors, and for those who are alone.

For this community, the nation, and the world;

For all who work for justice, freedom, and peace.

For the just and proper use of your creation;

For the victims of hunger, fear, injustice, and oppression.

We pray for all who have died, that they may have a place in your eternal kingdom. Lord, let your loving kindness be upon them; Who put their trust in you.

CONCLUDING COLLECT

Almighty and eternal God, ruler of all things in heaven and earth: Mercifully accept the prayers of your people, and strengthen us to do your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

CONFESSION

Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. 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.

Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

THE PEACE

The Peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you.

OFFERTORY SENTENCE

Walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God.

OFFERTORY SONG THE GRADUAL

May our hearts burn in us

As You reveal Your Word to us

Let us walk within Your steps

We’re captured by Your holiness

Word of God, move in us

Speak the truth within our souls

Restore lives, revive our hearts

For Your glory’s sake

We meditate upon Your Word

As we pray that Your voice be heard

Your law upon our hearts impress

As Your name forever blessed

Word of God, move in us

Speak the truth within our souls

Restore lives, revive our hearts

For Your glory’s sake

For Your glory’s sake

COMMUNION RITE II PRAYER B

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:

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.

We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

On the night before he died for us, 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, according to his command, O Father,

We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;

And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine. We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with [ and] all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation.

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

“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.

COMMUNION SONG

O LOVE THAT WILL NOT LET ME GO

O Love that will not let me go

I rest my weary soul in thee

I give thee back the life I owe

That in thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be

O light that followest all my way

I yield my flickering torch to thee My heart restores its borrowed ray

That in thy sunshine's blaze its day May brighter, fairer be

O Joy that seekest me through pain

I cannot close my heart to thee

I trace the rainbow through the rain

And feel the promise is not vain That morn shall tearless be

O Cross that liftest up my head

I dare not ask to fly from thee

I lay in dust, life's glory dead

And from the ground there blossoms red

Life that shall endless be

Words by George Matheson Music by Christopher Miner ©2010 Indelible Grace

Music

Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood. Send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE BLESSING

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 collection of books from Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel, as well as Jonah, Micah, and more offer revelations from God about promises of the future. Messages of judgment, mercy, and hope are written all over this collection of biblical books. Come discover what God is still revealing to us through these ancient voices.

FOLLOWING CHRIST IN DEEP WATERS

Led by Brady Millican & Barbara Kennard | Coke Room

Parishioners will explore Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poem, The Wreck of the Deutschland, written in 1877. Our interest will center on the author’s experience of the challenges and joys of Christian life. Hopefully, we will find greater strength for our own journeys in the power of Hopkins’ testimony to the perpetual presence of Christ’s care and love. Copies of the poem will be provided, as well as a link to a recording.

Led by the Rev. Christian Basel Wednesdays, 4/19, 5/3, 5/10, & 5/17 6–7:30 p.m.

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Scripture begins with the cosmological, the order of the universe, but what is our place in it? Join us on a four-week study as we explore our place in the created order of the universe and draw on scripture, philosophy, and science to begin forming an idea of how a biblical cosmology exists side by side with modern science. For more info and to register, contact Christian Basel, cbasel@saintmichael.org
