9 AM TRADITIONAL CHURCH

FROM THE RECTOR

The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata

We’re so glad you’ve joined us at Saint Michael today. We’d love to get to know you better, so 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.

We are now in the holy season of Lent. Today, I hope you will join us for classes at the 10 a.m. hour (schedule is to the right). Each Wednesday in Lent, we will offer special recitals at 12:10 a.m. and evening diner and classes beginning at 6 p.m. In addition, the weekday clergy meditations have begun and are a wonderful way to center yourself each day. See the information in this bulletin for all the details you need.

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!

LENTEN RECITAL SERIES

12:10 p.m. Recital | Saint Michael Chapel

Wednesdays in Lent: Now – March 27

SPRING PARISH MEETING

Sunday, March 3

10 a.m. in the Church

All adults are invited to attend.

Today’s prelude features two settings of a Lutheran hymn tune (When we are in utmost need). Pachelbel (1653-1706) was very close with the Bach family. When Pachelbel came to Eisenach in 1677, he was a member of the Eisenach Court Band and colleague of Johann Ambrosius, J.S. Bach’s father. They developed a friendship and Pachelbel became the godfather of Johann Sebastian’s sister, Johanna Juditha. Pachelbel’s setting of this hymn starts with a fugal exploration of the first phrase, which is connected to the second part; a contrapuntal setting with the hymn tune heard in the soprano line. Bach’s setting comes from the Orgelbüchlein , a collection of chorale preludes compiled by Bach between 1712 and 1717. In his first chorale preludes, he was still searching for his own style. But here we hear Bach in a balanced and infinitely inventive setting, with an ear for both tradition and the latest fashion, and always focused on the character of the text.

The Second Sunday in Lent

Holy Eucharist Rite II

The service begins on page 351 of The Book of Common Prayer.

“Eternal Lord of love, behold your Church” Old 124th Hymn 149

Hymn continues on the next page.

1

A Penitential Order (standing)

Celebrant Bless the Lord who forgives all our sins;

People His mercy endures for ever.

B CP 351

Celebrant If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8-9

Confession of Sin and Absolution (kneeling)

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

All 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.

Celebrant 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.

Song of Praise (seated, sung by the Cherub Choir)

Jesus walked this lonesome valley Spiritual

Jesus walked this lonesome valley, He had to walk it by himself.

Nobody else could walk it for him, He had to walk it by himself.

Following the Song of Praise, children ages three through eight are invited to proceed to children’s chapel by exiting through the north doors to the ambulatry; they will return to the nave following the Peace.

The Collect of the Day (standing)

Celebrant The Lord be with you.

People And also with you.

Celebrant Let us pray.

O God, whose glory it is always to have mercy: Be gracious to all who have gone astray from your ways, and bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of your Word, Jesus Christ your Son; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Lesson Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16 (seated)

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless. And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will make you exceedingly numerous.” Then Abram fell on his face; and God said to him, “As for me, this is my covenant with you: You shall be the ancestor of a multitude of nations. No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the ancestor of a multitude of nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. I will establish my covenant between me and you, and your offspring after you throughout their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you. ... God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall give rise to nations; kings of peoples shall come from her.”

Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.

The Psalm 22:22-30 (seated, chanted by the choir) Andrew Seivenwright

Praise the LORD, you that fear him; * stand in awe of him, O offspring of Israel; all you of Jacob’s line, give glory. For he does not despise nor abhor the poor in their poverty; neither does he hide his face from them; * but when they cry to him he hears them. My praise is of him in the great assembly; * I will perform my vows in the presence of those who worship him.

3

The poor shall eat and be satisfied, and those who seek the LORD shall praise him: * “May your heart live for ever!”

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD, * and all the families of the nations shall bow before him.

For kingship belongs to the LORD; * he rules over the nations.

To him alone all who sleep in the earth bow down in worship; * all who go down to the dust fall before him.

My soul shall live for him; my descendants shall serve him; * they shall be known as the LORD’S for ever.

They shall come and make known to a people yet unborn * the saving deeds that he has done.

The Gospel Mark 8:31-38 (standing)

Gospeler The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark. People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Jesus began to teach his disciples that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.” He called the crowd with his disciples, and said to them, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. For what will it profit

them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life? Indeed, what can they give in return for their life? Those who are ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of them the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” Gospeler The Gospel of the Lord.

People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The Sermon (seated) The Reverend Kenneth H. Brannon

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. 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.

5

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 Holy Communion

Offertory Anthem (sung by the Saint Michael Choir)

O Gott, du Frommer Gott, BWV24 Johann Sebastian Bach

O Gott, du frommer Gott, Du Brunnquell aller Gaben, Ohn den nichts ist, was ist, Von dem wir alles haben, Gesunden Leib gib mir, Und daß in solchem Leib Ein unverletzte Seel Und rein Gewissen bleib.

O God, You righteous God. Source of all gifts, without Whom nothing is what it is, from Whom we have everything grant me a healthy body, and that in such a body an uncorrupted soul and pure conscience remain.

- Johann Heermann 1630

This chorale is from the church cantata “Ein ungefärbt Gemüte” (An open mind), which Bach composed in Leipzig for the fourth Sunday after Trinity. It was first performed on June 20th, 1723. The eight lines of the closing chorale in homophonic four-part vocal setting are richly framed by orchestral interludes and accompanied by the instruments. The last prayer asks for “ein unverletzte Seel” (an unsullied soul) “und rein Gewissen” (and a clear conscience).

Music continues on the next page.

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:

human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all.

He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.

On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, 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 we proclaim the mystery of faith:

All Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts.

Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom.

All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: 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,

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.

11

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.

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.

Farrant’s setting of Psalm 27 emphasizes the plea ‘For thy mercy’s sake, deliver us from all our sins’ by repeating the text with increasing musical tension. The music seems to end rather unsatisfyingly, as if waiting for an answer on the other side.

“How firm a foundation” Foundation Hymn 636

Postlude

Jesu, meine Zuversicht, Op. 67/20

Max Reger

Hymn permission used by Rite Song, a one-time use reprint license for congregational use.

The foregoing text of the worship service contained in this order of worship is taken from the Book of Common Prayer 1979. The Book of Common Prayer alone is of authority in the worship of the Episcopal Church. This program is provided for convenience of use on this occasion.

Op. 67, is a collection of 52 settings of popular Protestant hymns for organ by Max Reger, composed between 1900 and 1902. The idea of writing such a collection has similarities with the 46 chorale preludes of Bach’s Orgelbüchlein. Reger’s compositional style in the preludes, although intended to be simple from a technical point of view, was musically complex, occasionally mirroring musical features of chorale preludes in Bach’s collection.
