THE SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER
APRIL 24, 2022
Welcome!
JOIN US ON SUNDAY
Dear Friends, Happy Easter to you! I hope you joined us for at least one of the glorious Holy Week and Easter Sunday services last week. It was an amazing celebration of Christ’s gift to us. The last Easter Sunday we celebrated together in our space was in 2019, so our worship felt even more powerful just by sharing the space. Such a blessing! We are now in the Great Fifty Days of Easter, a period of great joy for Christians around the world. Throughout the Easter Season, you’re invited to join us for worship with our sermon series Come, Follow Me. In addition, tune into our Easter podcast series for daily meditations led by the Saint Michael clergy, as well as Sunday and midweek classes for all ages. Due to weather, the Saint Michael Birthday Party scheduled for this afternoon has been canceled. On June 5, we’ll not only celebrate Pentecost and welcome Robin Hinkle as Associate for Mission and Outreach, but also enjoy a special Birthday Cake and thank folks who have made the 75th Anniversary Celebration such a success!

This prelude is based on today’s communion hymn, #206, the 15thcentury “O Filii et filiae”. For the opening and closing of the piece, the familiar hymntune is transposed into the major mode – a clever shift giving a spunky sense of joy. Between these sections, Guilmant has written three variations on the original melody, to show off differing colors of the organ, suited to the shifts of mood in the hymn’s lyrics.
Standing, sung by All The flowers adorning the Altar are given in Thanksgiving for the Marriage of Anne Davis and Riley Olsen

Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Seated
The Lesson
Acts 5:27-32
When the temple police had brought the apostles, they had them stand before the council. The high priest questioned them, saying, “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you are determined to bring this man’s blood on us.” But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than any human authority. The God of our ancestors raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior that he might give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.” Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. Chanted by the Choir
Psalm 150 Hallelujah! Praise God in his holy temple; * praise him in the firmament of his power.

Charles Stanford
Praise him for his mighty acts; * praise him for his excellent greatness. Praise him with the blast of the ram’s-horn; * praise him with lyre and harp. Praise him with timbrel and dance; * praise him with strings and pipe. Praise him with resounding cymbals; * praise him with loud-clanging cymbals. Let everything that has breath * praise the LORD. Hallelujah! Sequence Hymn Hymn 209, v. 1 & 2 “We walk by faith, and not by sight”

John 20:19-31 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. Glory to you, Lord Christ.
When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.” A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.

The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata
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, 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.

The Great Thanksgiving: Eucharistic Prayer B Celebrant People Celebrant People Celebrant People
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. 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: Sanctus and Benedictus: Hymn S 128
William Mathias
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.”
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.
Therefore, according to his command, O Father, We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;
Celebrant and People
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.
The Celebrant continues
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 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.

Postlude Offertoire pour le Jour de Paques
Alexandre Pierre François Boëly
Boëly lived through the Napoleonic period in France, a time when music in churches was often simply opera or patriotic music transplanted without any regard for liturgical propriety. Boëly, a traditionalist, was written off by many in the French musical mainstream. Because he resisted the trends of his time, he was able to purvey traditional musical forms and techniques to his students César Franck and Camille Saint-Saëns, who were among the most important composers of the nineteenth century. Today’s postlude was originally intended as an offertory for Easter day, and features a set of variations on the ancient Easter hymn “O filii et filiae.”

The foregoing text of the worship service contained in this order of worship is taken from the Book of Common Prayer 1979.

Sundays at 10 a.m. Led by Dr. Tim Smith “Overcoming Doubt, Fear, Uncertainty and even Shame” — John 20:19–29 Saint Michael Chapel The Easter season of alleluias can sometimes seem to leave little room for our doubts and our fears. We tend to forget that this was where the disciples were before there was the understanding and the joy of the resurrection. So how can we overcome our doubts, fears, uncertainty and even our shame? Join us as we learn how the resurrected Jesus helped the disciples to overcome and can do the same for you.
