saintmichael.org/smaapodSAINTMICHAEL WEEKDAY PODCAST
Youth Escape Room
The prelude music features two distinctly contrasting settings of today’s sequence hymn (#701). The first setting comes from J.S. Bach’s student Johann Ludwig Krebs (1713-1780). In this playful setting the composer plays with motivic materials derived from the hymn tune, rather than presenting a clear-cut melodic arrangement. Bach’s setting is rather dark, which might be explained by the textual references to the suffering of the Cross.
The flowers adorning the Altar are given in Memory of Louise Montjoy Lathem
The service begins on page 355 of The Book of Common Prayer.

The Lesson Amos 8:4-7 (seated)

The Collect of the Day (standing)
Hear this, you that trample on the needy, and bring to ruin the poor of the land, saying, “When will the new moon be over so that we may sell grain; and the sabbath, so that we may offer wheat for sale? We will make the ephah small and the shekel great, and practice deceit with false balances, buying the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, and selling the sweepings of the wheat.” The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob: Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.
The Psalm 113 (seated, chanted by the choir) James Turle Hallelujah! Give praise, you servants of the LORD; * praise the Name of the LORD.
Grant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things, but to love things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things that are passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Gospeler The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Who is like the LORD our God, who sits enthroned on high * but stoops to behold the heavens and the earth?
He takes up the weak out of the dust * and lifts up the poor from the ashes. He sets them with the princes, * with the princes of his people. He makes the woman of a childless house * to be a joyful mother of children.
Jesus said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property. So he summoned him and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give me an accounting of your management, because you cannot be
The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata
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.

The Nicene Creed (standing)
my manager any longer.’ Then the manager said to himself, ‘What will I do, now that my master is taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do so that, when I am dismissed as manager, people may welcome me into their homes.’ So, summoning his master’s debtors one by one, he asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ He answered, ‘A hundred jugs of olive oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.’ Then he asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ He replied, ‘A hundred containers of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill and make it eighty.’ And his master commended the dishonest manag er because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes. Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own? No slave can serve two mas ters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
Gospeler The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ.
The Sermon (seated)

Prayers of the People: Form VI (standing)
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.
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.

Offertory Anthem (sung by the Staff Singers)

I too will something make And joy in the making; Altho’ tomorrow it seem Like the empty words of a dream Remembered on waking.
I love all beauteous things, I seek and adore them; God hath no better praise, And man in his hasty days Is honored for them.
This short, fast-tempo setting aims to emulate the swift, fleet-footed rhyme and meter of the two-verse poem, with its unobtrusive but telling reference to the ‘man in his hasty days’.
I Love All Beauteous Things
Judith Weir
Presentation Hymn (standing, sung by all)
- Words by Robert Bridges (1844-1930), Poet Laureate (1930)
“Praise God, from whom all blessings flow” Old 100th Hymn 380, v. 3
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.
Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People It is right to give him thanks and praise.
All baptized persons of any age regardless of their denomination and tradition are welcome to share in the banquet of the Lord’s Supper.
9
Celebrant Lift up your hearts. People We lift them to the Lord.
The Great Thanksgiving: Eucharistic Prayer B (standing)
Here a Proper Preface is sung or said on all Sundays, and on other occasions as appointed.
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. 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:
Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you.
Please kneel as you are able
Sanctus and Benedictus (standing, sung by all) William Mathias Hymn S 129
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.”
10
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,
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.
Therefore, according to his command, O Father, All We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;
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 Saint Michael 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.
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.”
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.
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.
Communion Hymn (sung by all)

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.

PostludePrelude
Hymn 594 in G Major, BWV 541
Composed in the trending Italian style, the Prelude was probably written around 1712 when Bach was in his 20s, living in Weimar. Years later in 1733, Bach provided it to his son, Wilhelm Friedemann as an audition piece for the music director post of Sophienkirche in Dresden. One of Bach’s most sparkling organ works, the Prelude is a continuous, joyful stream of 16th-notes punctuated by repeated chords.
Johann Sebastian Bach
