The LessonsDaniel 2:1-23 The Magnificat The people stand. Randal Giles

Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis

Choir My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel, for he has remembered his promise of mercy, The promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. – Luke 1:45–55

Luke 10:1-20 The people sit.

The Nunc Dimittis The people stand. Giles

Choir Lord, you now have set your servant free to go in peace as you have promised; For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, whom you have prepared for all the world to see: A Light to enlighten the nations, and the glory of your people Israel. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. – Luke 2:29–32

The Apostles’ Creed Sung on a monotone.

All I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

The ReadingsAmos 7:7-15

The Magnificat The people stand. Herbert Howells Unison Service

Choir My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is his Name. And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations. He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent empty away. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. – Luke 1: 45–55

Mark 6:14-29 The people sit.

The Nunc Dimittis The people stand. Howells

Choir Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word; For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people, To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. – Luke 2: 29–32

Lord have mercy upon us. Christ have mercy upon us. Lord have mercy upon us.

The Lord’s Prayer Sung on a monotone.

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.

The Suffrages Rutter

Officiant O Lord, show thy mercy upon us. Choir And grant us thy salvation. O Lord, save this Land. And mercifully hear us when we call upon thee. Endue thy ministers with righteousness. And make thy chosen people joyful. O Lord, save thy people. And bless thine inheritance. Give peace in our time, O Lord. Because there is none other that fighteth for us, but only thou, O God. O God, make clean our hearts within us. And take not thy Holy Spirit from us.The Collects Sung by officiant.

Anthem traditional, arr. Ralph Vaughan Williams

Choir The great forerunner of the morn, the herald of the Word, is born; and faithful hearts shall never fail with thanks and praise his light to hail. With heavenly message Gabriel came, that John should be that herald's name, and with prophetic utterance told his actions great and manifold. His mighty deeds exalt his fame to greater than a prophet's name. Of woman-born shall never be a greater prophet than was he. To God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit, Three in One, praise, honour, might, and glory be from age to age eternally. -The Venerable Bede, trans. John Mason Neale

Closing Prayers The people may kneel.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

The ReadingsAmos 7:7-15

This is what the Lord showed me: he was standing beside a wall built with a

plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand. And the Lord said to me, ‘Amos, what do you see?’ And I said, ‘A plumb-line.’ Then the Lord said, ‘See, I am setting a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass them by; the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste, and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.’

Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to King Jeroboam of Israel, saying, ‘Amos has conspired against you in the very centre of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words. For thus Amos has said, “Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel must go into exile away from his land.” ’ And Amaziah said to Amos, ‘O seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah, earn your bread there, and prophesy there; but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom.’Then Amos answered Amaziah, ‘I am no prophet, nor a prophet’s son; but I am a herdsman, and a dresser of sycomore trees, and the Lord took me from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, “Go, prophesy to my people Israel.”

Mark 6:14-29

King Herod heard of Jesus, whose name had become known. Some were saying,

“John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; and for this reason these powers are at work in him.” But others said, “It is Elijah.” And others said, “It is a prophet, like one of

the prophets of old.” But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.”

For Herod himself had sent men who arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because Herod had married her. For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” And Herodias had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not, for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed; and yet he liked to listen to him. But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and for the leaders of Galilee. When his daughter Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it.” And he solemnly swore to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom.” She went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?” She replied, “The head of John the baptizer.” Immediately she rushed back to the king and requested, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” The king was deeply grieved; yet out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he did not want to refuse her. Immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard with orders to bring John’s head. He went and beheaded him in the prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl. Then the girl gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

Grace Cathedral is both our home and a treasure. To keep it beautiful requires maintenance and renovation. Here is more information on two projects that are underway.

Restoring the North-facing Quire windows: Our stained glass windows are one of our most renowned treasures. We began a program of restoring them in 2015, after a very generous and unassuming member of our community left us resources specifically for the maintenance of the cathedral. The South and North Transcept windows have been beautifully restored and now it is the turn of the north-facing windows in the Quire. The interior scaffolding will be removed around August 10. When it is gone, you

will see “placeholder” amber glass in the five North Quire windows for the next year while our stained glass windows are restored off-site. The exterior scaffolding will remain in place, wrapped, until August of 2018; that is when the restored stained glass will be re-installed. While the exterior scaffolding is not eye-pleasing, keeping it in place, rather than taking it down now and re-erecting it in a year, is a huge cost-savings that represents conscientious stewardship of the gracious bequest for cathedral maintenance.

AIDS Memorial Interfaith Chapel: The AIDS Chapel is closed and will reopen in early fall. Keith Haring’s triptych altarpiece, “The Life of Christ” (1990), is now located in the niche inside the Ghiberti doors for viewing during the closure. Stay tuned for more information on our AIDS Quilts exhibit this fall and rededication of our chapel on World AIDS Day, December 1.
