The Collect of the Day The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray. Father in heaven, who at the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan proclaimed him your beloved Son and anointed him with the Holy Spirit: Grant that all who are baptized into his Name may keep the covenant they have made, and boldly confess him as Lord and Savior; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting.

A: Matthew, B: Mark, C: Luke Creed is the response of faith to the proclamation of Word and sermon. 4 th C statement of faith, worked out in Nicea and Constantinople as early church tried to articulate the person of Jesus and his relationship to God.

BCP- Interesting Bit BCP- Interesting Bit At the Gospel why do we walk down to the middle of the church? Why do people cross themselves several times at the words the Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ? On my mind, on my lips and in my heart

The Prayers of the People Forms I-VI BCP 383-393 Confession of Sin Absolution The Peace We pray for the church, the nation, the welfare of the world, the concerns for our local community, for those who suffer, the departed. BCP offers suggested forms, BCP 383-393 Corporate confession. An act of the Church expressing its failure to live up to its calling. May be omitted during season of Easter. God forgives us; the priest, through his/her ordination, acts as a sign of Gods presence among the people and offers absolution. Note sacrament of Reconciliation of a Penitent BCP 446 for individual confession. Bridge between Liturgy of the Word of God and Holy Communion. We greet each other in peace so that we may become one in Christ at the Eucharist. See BCP 376

Eucharist means thanksgiving. Through the Great Thanksgiving (Eucharistic Prayer) we offer ourselves to God and bread and wine to become for us the sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ. Eucharist Prayer A focus on sin/sacrificial death of Jesus, modern rendering of Cranmers Prayer I. B highlights Incarnation and role of Mary; C original contemporary prayer with reflection on sin & brokenness, thanksgiving for Creation; D is modeled on prayer from 4 th C and shared by Christians around the world Prayer I focus on Christs atoning death. In BCP since 1789, Cranmer + language from Scottish rite; Prayer II includes thanksgiving for creation

Eucharistic Prayer A The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Lift up your hearts. The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Lift up your hearts. People We lift them to the Lord. Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People It is right to give him thanks and praise. It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and every- where to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Proper Preface 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 and People Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Sursum Corda Latin, "Lift up your hearts" or literally, "Hearts lifted Proper Preface bears witness to the mighty acts of God in creation and redemption. Not used in Prayer C & D Sanctus Latin: Holy. See Isaiah 6:3; Benedictus Latin: Blessed. Transcendence and immanence of God.

Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself, and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our 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. Thanksgiving for Redemption. Note differences in prayers Words of Institution. Not strictly a memorial. Anamnesis : Do this for the remembrance of me. We are invited to be at table with Jesus, hearing again his command to remember him in this way.

Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: 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. Acclamation. People join with celebrant to voice praise of God Epiclesis: Invocation of the Holy Spirit upon the gifts and upon ourselves The Great AMEN. It is through the prayers of all present, and Gods blessings, that the bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ. Can I get an AMEN?

And now as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, The Lords Prayer The Breaking of the Bread [Alleluia.] Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; Therefore let us keep the feast. [Alleluia.] Invitation to Communion: The Gifts of God for the People of God. Communion of the People Post Communion Prayer BlessingDismissal Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Fraction. Bread is broken in order to be shared. Symbolizes breaking of Christs body on the cross and our own need to be broken so to share in the life of Christ and share that life with others. The Episcopal Church speaks of the real presence of Christ in the power of his saving death and resurrection in the bread and wine. This presence heals and nourishes us, strengthens us to serve God in the world. We are sent forth to proclaim the good news of Christ.
