The image on the front cover of the bulletin was taken by Dallas Bittle, showing the cornerstone of the St. James’ building, third of that name, second on this site, dedicated on November 11, 1935 to the Greater Glory of God. The first Mass in the completed church was held August 30, 1936, and was attended by Lord Tweedsmuir, then Governor General of Canada.

The Liturgy of the Word OLD TESTAMENT READING Reader

Be seated

A reading from the Book of Habakkuk The oracle that the prophet Habak'kuk saw. O LORD, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not listen? Or cry to you "Violence!" and you will not save? Why do you make me see wrongdoing and look at trouble? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. So the law becomes slack and justice never prevails. The wicked surround the righteous - therefore judgment comes forth perverted.

Reader All

I will stand at my watchpost, and station myself on the rampart; I will keep watch to see what he will say to me, and what he will answer concerning my complaint. Then the LORD answered me and said: Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so that a runner may read it. For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end, and does not lie. If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay. Look at the proud! Their spirit is not right in them, but the righteous live by their faith.

Habakkuk 1: 1 - 4; 2: 1 - 4 The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

PSALM

A cantor sings the antiphon first; the people repeat it thereafter.

I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

Now our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem. Antiphon Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.

Peace be within your walls and quietness within your towers. Antiphon Psalm 122:1-2, 6-7

EPISTLE READING Sub-deacon

A reading from the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians.

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling-place for God. Ephesians 2:19-22

Sub-deacon All

Thanks be to God.

HOLY GOSPEL

All stand and turn to face the book of the Gospels

The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money-changers seated at their tables. Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. He told those who were selling the doves, ‘Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father’s house a market-place!’ His disciples remembered that it was written, ‘Zeal for your house will consume me.’ The Jews then said to him, ‘What sign can you show us for doing this?’ Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.’ The Jews then said, ‘This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?’ But he was speaking of the temple of his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

Let us humbly confess our sins to almighty God. Kneel

All

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things and judge of all people: We acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness, Which we from time to time most grievously have committed, By thought, word, and deed, Against thy divine majesty.

We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings.

Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, Forgive us all that is past; And grant that we may ever hereafter Serve and please thee In newness of life, To the honour and glory of thy name; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Celebrant

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hath promised forgiveness of sins to all them that with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto him: have mercy upon you; + pardon and deliver you from all your sins; confirm and strengthen you in all goodness; and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

THE PEACE

Stand

The ministers and people may greet one another in the name of the Lord in the customary way.

You may choose not to shake hands at the Peace. A simple exchange of “Peace be with you” with eye contact and a nod, or a bow, is a good substitute.

It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all times and in all places, give thanks unto thee: O Lord holy, Father almighty, everlasting God: creator and preserver of all things.

Heaven itself cannot contain thee, and thy glory fills all the world.

Thou dost accept our setting apart of places for thy worship, and in them pour out thy gifts of grace upon thy faithful people.

This table is a sign to us of the heavenly altar, where thy saints and angels praise thee.

Here we have recalled the sacrifice of thy Son; here we have been fed with the body and blood of thy son; here our sins have been forgiven; here we have tasted the joys of thy eternal kingdom.

Grant that in these mysteries we may be united with one another and strengthened for service in thy world.

Therefore with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious name; evermore praising thee and saying:

SANCTUS & BENEDICTUS Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, heaven and earth are full of thy glory.

Glory be to thee, O Lord most high. + Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

THE PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Celebrant

Kneel

All glory be to thee, O Lord our God, who 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; who, in the same night that he was betrayed, 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.

We praise thee, we bless thee, we thank thee and we pray to thee, Lord our God. 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, ourselves, our souls and bodies. Grant, we beseech thee, that all who partake of this holy communion may worthily receive the most precious 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 Spirit all honour and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end.

Amen.

O pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and plenteousness within thy palaces. Praise the Lord, laud the Lord. Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, our God, in the courts of the house of God. Amen.

Formation on Sundays

THE OXFORD MOVEMENT The Oxford Movement of the 1830s demanded a rebirth of the life of the English Church. Its principal leaders argued for the historic and apostolic ministry; they emphasized the sacraments, particularly the Eucharist; they promoted social action and deep pastoral concern; they applied their formidable scholarship to translating the Greek and Latin fathers of the church and republishing the great English theologians and divines of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Theirs was, above all, a call to holiness, a call that changed the course of the Church not for a time only; for theirs was a call that we still are hearing and obeying.

VACANCY FOR TREASURER After many years, Angela Van Luven, our Parish Treasurer, is planning to retire from her position, as of the next Annual Vestry Meeting on February 23, 2014.

Angela’s skill and dedication will be sorely missed, but we must fill the position that she will be leaving.

The Board of Trustees invite anyone with some accounting knowledge and the desire to contribute to the Parish in a very meaningful way to contact the Wardens by e-mail wardens@stjames.bc.ca or to speak in person with one of them or with any member of the Board.

Reece Wrightman, People’s Warden PARISH REVIEW (6) The document Parish Review Consultation at the 22nd Session of Parish Council is available in hard copy in the Narthex and upon request from the Parish Office.

Specific recommendations for action have now been presented for further prayerful deliberation. Please read these recommendations and prayerfully consider how you can support the unfolding mission and ministry of St. James’. Once all the feed-

St. James’ News & Announcements back from the Parish Council has been collated it will be made available for review.

The Parish Review focuses on three questions for conversion: What are the essentials at St. James' which we commit to maintain? What are we being called to give up? What are we being called to initiate and/or strengthen?

Any parishioner is welcome to be interviewed by me - just ask.

Please support our season of Review by: • praying and reading over the draft recommendations; • participating in the two days of prayer and fasting; • making a commitment to the implementation of one or more of the recommendations.

Please speak to me, or any one of the Wardens, Trustees, or Clergy of the Parish for more information and help with participating in our season of Review at St. James'.

St. James’ News & Announcements Devotional Resources Scripture Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28: 16-20.)

Intention For the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit upon this season of review at St. James’ and recommendations for action.

Reflection "We need to be a risk taking church. There is no safety in Christ there's absolute security but there is no safety and we have to make a big difference between knowing that we are in his arms and knowing that he calls us to do risky things. So the vision is about being a risk-taking Church and finding ways of liberating people to be risk-takers, in the service of Christ." (May 17, 2013. Archbishop Justin Welby in conversation with Nicky Gumbel.)

Meditation Make disciples. / I am with you always.

Act of dedication O GOD the Holy Ghost, Sanctifier of the faithful: Sanctify this parish by thine abiding presence. Bless those who minister in holy things. Enlighten the minds of thy people more and more with the light of the everlasting Gospel. Bring erring souls to the 28| HIGH MASS

knowledge of God our Saviour; and those who are walking in the way of life, keep stedfast unto the end.

Give patience to the sick and afflicted, and renew them in body and soul. Guard from forgetfulness of thee those who are strong and prosperous. Increase in us thy manifold gifts of grace, and make us all to be fruitful in good works; O blessed Spirit, whom with the Father and the Son together we worship and glorify, one God, world without end. Amen. (“For the Parish” (9), p.44. Book of Common Prayer, 1962, Canada.)
