Prelude Sleepers, wake! BWV 645 J. S. Bach

THE GATHERINGA bell bids all to rise as able.Introit O heavenly Word, eternal Light Words: Latin, 7th-century;

Music: Verbum supernum prodiens, plainsong, Mode 2O heavenly Word, eternal Light, begotten of the Father’s might,who in these latter days wast born for blessing to a world forlorn;pour light upon us from above, and fire our hearts with ardent love,that, as we hear thy truth today, all wrong desires may burn away;and when, as judge, thou drawest nigh the secrets of our hearts to try,to recompense each hidden sin and bid the saints their reign begin;O let us not, for evil past, be driven from thy face at last,but with thy saints for evermore behold thee, love thee, and adore.To God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit, ever One,praise, honor, might, and glory be from age to age eternally.

Collect of the DayPresider The Lord be with you.Assembly And also with you.Presider Let us pray.

Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Trisagion Trad. Orthodox, adapt. Richard Proulx sung three times

Collect for PurityPresider Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Lighting of the Advent Wreath Presider Behold, the Lord will come, and all his saints with him, Assembly and on that day there will be a great light, alleluia.

THE LITURGY OF THE WORDAfter each reading, the lector says: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. All respond Thanks be to God. First Reading Isaiah 2:1-5The word that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. In days to come the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; all the nations shall stream to it. Many peoples shall come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.’ For out of Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!

Psalm: 122 Peter R. Hallock (1924-2014)The choir sings the antiphon; all repeat. The choir sings the verses; all repeat the antiphon.

Choir: Now our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is built as a city that is at unity with itself; To which the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, the assembly of Israel, to praise the Name of the Lord. ANTIPHONChoir: For there are the thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls and quietness within your towers. ANTIPHONChoir: For my brethren and companions' sake, I pray for your prosperity. Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek to do you good." ANTIPHON

Second Reading Romans 13:11-14You know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; the night is far gone, the day is near. Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; let us live honorably as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in de-bauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

After a brief silence the presider stands; all rise as able for the proclamation of the Gospel. Gospel Acclamation Brian Fairbanks The choir sings the alleluia; all repeat. The choir sings the verse; all repeat the alleluia.

The Holy Gospel Matthew 24:36-44 Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. Assembly Glory to you, Lord Christ. Jesus said to the disciples, “But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be left. Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.” Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. Assembly Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Choir verse: “You must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected time.”

All rise as able.Nicene Creed The Book of Common Prayer page 358

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. 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.

Prayers of the Assembly Intercessor God, in your mercy, Assembly hear our prayer.The presider concludes the prayers with a collect. All respond Amen.

Confession Deacon Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. You are invited to stand or kneel for the confession. Deacon Most merciful God, All 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.The presider pronounces God’s forgiveness of our sins. All respond Amen.

Prayers of the Assembly Intercessor We look to you in hope; Assembly Come, Lord Jesus, come.The presider concludes the prayers with a collect. All respond Amen.

THE LITURGY OF THE TABLEAn offering of money is received. Everyone worshipping this morning is invited to make an offering as an expression of gratitude for God’s generosity. Many support St. Mark’s through pledged offerings made by credit card or via mail. Together our gifts make possible this community of welcome, reconciliation and service. Offertory Anthem I was glad Words: Psalm 122;

Music: C. Hubert H. Parry (1848-1918)I was glad when they said unto me,We will go into the house of the Lord.Our feet shall stand in thy gates, O Jerusalem.Jerusalem is builded as a city, That is at unity with itself:O pray for the peace of Jerusalem,They shall prosper that love thee.Peace be within thy walls,And plenteousness within thy palaces.

All rise as able as the bread, wine and money we offer to God are brought forward and presented at the altar table.

The Great Thanksgiving Eucharistic Prayer B

PresiderIt is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Because you sent your beloved Son to redeem us from sin and death, and to make us heirs in him of everlasting life; that when he shall come again in power and great triumph to judge the world, we may without shame or fear rejoice to behold his appearing. 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:

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.” Therefore, according to his command, O Father: All We remember his death. We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;Presider 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. 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 all your saints, we may enter

Or you may leave the bread in your hand for the chalice bearer to dip it in the wine and feed you. To receive a blessing instead of communion, simply cross your arms over your chest.

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.

Communion Anthem Creator of the stars of night Words: Latin, 9th-century; Music: Malcolm Archer (born 1952)

Creator of the stars of night, thy people’s everlasting light, Jesu, Redeemer, save us all, and hear thy servants when they call.Thou camest, bridegroom of the bride, as drew the world to evening-tide,Proceeding from a virgin shrine, The Son of Man, yet all divine.At thy great name, exalted now, all knees must bend, all hearts must bow,And things in heaven and earth shall own that thou are Lord and King alone.To God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit, Three in One,Laud, honor, might, and glory be from age to age eternally. Amen

Prayer after Communion (prayed by all)Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood. Send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Slight Change to the 9 a.m. Eucharist beginning Nov. 27As many of you know, we’ve struggled for years to preserve the integrity of Church School time since the 9 a.m. service often runs a bit after 10 a.m. Children, teachers and parents have expressed frustration with this, and short of changing the service times across Sunday mornings, it is challeng-ing to see how we can reclaim that time. After consulting with staff and worship leaders, we’ve decided to make slight changes to the 9am service, beginning the First Sunday of Advent (Nov. 27), and reassessing at the end of Lent 2017, giving us a four-month trial at this. Here’s the change: 8:55 a.m. Welcome, Announcements, Birthday and Anni-versary blessings, Opening Versicle and Response 9:00 a.m. ProcessionThe rest of the service will flow as usual, except that the Exchange of the Peace will be followed directly by the Of-fertory. We welcome feedback as we try this, and appreciate your support as we strive to make all the moving parts of Sunday function well together.

Each has been declared a Doctor of the Church and the influence of their work was significant. This series will explore mysticism as something for which you too can strive.

Call for Artists: Stations of the CrossSaint Mark’s Cathedral invites proposals from artists to create their interpretations of the fourteen Stations of the Cross.
