FROM THE RECTOR
Welcome to Saint Michael—we’re glad you’re here! 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 worship continues each week throughout the summer, along with adult classes and activities for children and youth of all ages. Please check the schedule to the right for details on classes and activities, and if you need help navigating to particular rooms, there are Greeters in the hallways to help.
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!

The service begins on page 323 of The Book of Common Prayer.
The Word of God
Although remembered primarily as an organist and composer for the organ, it must be noted that Widor was a prolific and widely respected composer, adept in all forms from songs and chamber music, to orchestral symphonies, ballets, and operas. In addition to his work as an organist, composer, and pedagogue, he was active as a music critic and authored treatises on orchestration and on music of ancient Greece, and together with his student, Albert Schweitzer, he edited the complete organ works of J.S. Bach. Through his own uncompromising standards as teacher and performer, Widor was largely responsible for establishing the modern French organ school, based upon the methods and concepts of his mentor, the great Belgian organist Jacques Nicolas Lemmens. Lento (1887) is a hauntingly beautiful work. The spacious quality of the writing, and the clear presentation of the urmotif on the Flûte harmonique combine to make music that falls as a benediction.

The First Lesson Hosea 5:15-6:6 (seated)
Thus says the Lord: “I will return again to my place until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face. In their distress they will beg my favor: ‘Come, let us return to the Lord; for it is he who has torn, and he will heal us; he has struck down, and he will bind us up. After two days he will revive us; on
3
the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him. Let us know, let us press on to know the Lord; his appearing is as sure as the dawn; he will come to us like the showers, like the spring rains that water the earth.’ What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes away early. Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets, I have killed them by the words of my mouth, and my judgment goes forth as the light. For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.”
Lector The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
The Psalm 50:7-15 (seated, chanted by the choir) Jonathan Battishill
Hear, O my people, and I will speak: “O Israel, I will bear witness against you; * for I am God, your God.
I do not accuse you because of your sacrifices; * your offerings are always before me.
I will take no bull-calf from your stalls, * nor he-goats out of your pens;
For all the beasts of the forest are mine, * the herds in their thousands upon the hills.
I know every bird in the sky, * and the creatures of the fields are in my sight.
If I were hungry, I would not tell you, * for the whole world is mine and all that is in it.
Do you think I eat the flesh of bulls, * or drink the blood of goats?
Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving * and make good your vows to the Most High. Call upon me in the day of trouble; * I will deliver you, and you shall honor me.”
The Second Lesson Romans 4:13-25 (seated)
The promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith. If it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. For the law brings wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there violation. For this reason it depends on faith, in order that the
4
promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants, not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham (for he is the father of all of us, as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”)—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. Hoping against hope, he believed that he would become “the father of many nations,” according to what was said, “So numerous shall your descendants be.” He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was already as good as dead (for he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, being fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. Therefore his faith “was reckoned to him as righteousness.” Now the words, “it was reckoned to him,” were written not for his sake alone, but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was handed over to death for our trespasses and was raised for our justification.

Sequence Hymn (standing, sung by all)
“O for a thousand tongues to sing” Azmon Hymn 493
The Gospel Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26 (standing)
Gospeler The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. People Glory be to thee, O Lord.
As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him. And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard this, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.” ... While he was saying these things to them, suddenly a leader of the synagogue came in and knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” And Jesus got up and followed him, with his disciples. Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and
6
touched the fringe of his cloak, for she said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well.” Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well. When Jesus came to the leader’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, he said, “Go away; for the girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up. And the report of this spread throughout that district.
Gospeler The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise be to thee, O Christ.
The Sermon (seated) The Rev. Dr. Andrew Grosso
The Nicene Creed (standing)
All 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.
7
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.

Juneteenth Prayer
The Holy Communion
Offertory Anthem (sung by the Saint Michael Choir)
Come, you who are blessed
Come, you who are blessed by my Father, Inherit the kingdom prepared for you From the foundation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me.
Come, you who are blessed by my father, Inherit the kingdom prepared for you
From the foundation of the world.
- Matthew 25:34-36
Jonathan Dove
Jonathan Dove is one of the most highly acclaimed living composers in the Anglican tradition. His music comes out of a tradition known as “minimalism.” In today’s anthem, listen for the way the organ accompaniment conveys energy through rapid, repeating gestures. These constant and sparkling figurations are paired with a slow-moving, repetitive choral score. The contrast of fast with slow, dissonant with consonant, and extreme repetition with novel ideas, make up the sound world of this piece.

Please kneel as you are able
All glory be to thee, O Lord our God, for that thou didst create heaven and earth, and didst make us in thine own image; and, of thy tender mercy, didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to take our nature upon him, and to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption. He made there a full and perfect sacrifice for the whole world; and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of that his precious death and sacrifice, until his coming again.
For in the night in which he was betrayed, he took bread; and when he had given thanks to thee, 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.”
Likewise, after supper, he 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 remission of sins. Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me.”
Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, we thy people do celebrate and make, with these thy holy gifts which we now offer unto thee, the memorial thy Son hath commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed passion and precious death, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension; and looking for his coming again with power and great glory.
And we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father, to hear us, and, with thy Word and Holy Spirit, to bless and sanctify these gifts of bread and wine, that they may be unto us the Body and Blood of thy dearly-beloved Son Jesus Christ.
And we earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, whereby we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, our selves, our souls and bodies. Grant, we beseech thee, that all who partake of this Holy Communion may worthily receive the most precious
At the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it, or lay a hand upon it; and at the words concerning the cup, to hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing wine to be consecrated.
12
Body and Blood of thy Son Jesus Christ, and be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction; and also that we and all thy whole Church may be made one body with him, that he may dwell in us, and we in him; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord;
By whom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost all honor and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end. AMEN.
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
All 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.

Communion Anthem (sung by the Saint Michael Choir)
O saving victim
Paul Lindsley Thomas
O saving Victim opening wise The Gates of heav’n to man below, Our foes press on from every side, Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.
All praise and thanks to Thee ascend For ever more, blest One in Three; O grant us life that shall not end, In our true native land with Thee. Amen.
- St.
Thomas Aquinas
All are invited to come forward to the Communion rail at the direction of our ushers. Stand or kneel at the rail as you are able, and receive the wafer in the palm of your outstretched hands. If you desire a gluten-free wafer, clasp your hands in front of you with your palms down. 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. If you are not receiving, you may cross your arms over your chest and receive a blessing. If you are unable to physically come to the rail, please indicate to an usher that you would like to receive Communion at your seat.
Paul Lindsley Thomas was a composer, organist, and music director at Saint Michael and All Angels from 1960-1997. A lifelong church musician, he spent his career bringing God’s love to others through music. This anthem is understated in character, using a changing meter, not unlike chant. The melody is first presented in unison by the tenors and basses, and subsequently sung in four part harmony by the full choir.

The Post-Communion Prayer (kneeling, spoken by all)
Almighty and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee for that thou dost feed us, in these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favor and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs, through hope, of thy everlasting kingdom. And we humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.

Charles-Marie Widor
Widor was one of the most important organ composers and teachers of the early 20th century, and his ten symphonies for the organ have stood as a major portion of the organ’s repertoire since their writing. His six-movement Symphony No. 2 concludes with a festive toccata for full organ and makes repeated use of the terraced dynamics that became possible on French organs in Widor’s lifetime.
