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

Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

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 Ezekiel 37:1-14The hand of the Lord came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me all around them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. He said to me, “Mortal, can these bones live?” I answered, “O Lord GOD, you know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. I will lay sinews on you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord.” So I prophesied as I had been commanded; and as I prophesied, suddenly there was a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. I looked, and there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them; but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, mortal, and say to the breath: Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.” I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood on their feet, a vast multitude. Then he said to me, “Mortal, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are cut off completely.’ Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: I am going to open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people; and I will bring you back to the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people. I will put my spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken and will act,” says the Lord.

Assembly You hide your face, and they are / terrified; * you take away their breath, and they die and re-/ turn to their dust. Cantor You send forth your Spirit and they are cre-/ ated; * and so you renew the / face of the earth. Assembly May the glory of the Lord endure for / ever;* may the Lord re-/ joice in all his works. Cantor He looks at the earth and it / trembles;* he touches the / mountains and they smoke. Assembly I will sing to the Lord as long as I / live;* I will praise my God while I / have my being. Cantor May these words of mine / please him;* I will rejoice in the Lord. / Hallelujah! Second Reading Acts 2:1-21When the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and pros-elytes, Cretans and Arabs— in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.” All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.” But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: ‘In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daugh-ters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day. Then every-one who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

HOLY BAPTISMCandidates for Baptism: Jay Scott Barnes Ralph Philip Emoian Skylar Rain Kearns Hope Motley Tillinghast Katherine Weisman

Please see yellow baptismal insert for this portion of the liturgy.

The Holy Gospel John 15:26-27; 16:4b-15 Gospeller The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. Assembly Glory to you, Lord Christ. Jesus said to his disciples, “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, he will testify on my behalf. You also are to testify because you have been with me from the beginning. “I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. But, now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because they do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned. “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.” Gospeller The Gospel of the Lord. Assembly Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The Peace Presider The peace of the Lord be always with you. Assembly And also with you.The Exchange of the Peace is an ancient ritual of greeting one another with a bidding of peace as we prepare to share a holy meal as community. It is a mark of right relationship as we move to the Table assured of God’s forgiveness. It is not a time to engage in conversation; rather, we focus on Christ’s peace in us and around us as a gift shared in com-munity.

Birthday and Anniversary BlessingsThose celebrating birthdays and anniversaries this week are invited to come forward to receive a blessing. The assem-bly stands as able and joins the presider in saying the prayers.BirthdaysWatch over your children, O Lord, as their days increase; bless and guide them wherever they may be. Strengthen them when they stand; comfort them when discouraged or sorrowful; raise them up if they fall; and in their hearts may your peace, which passes understanding, abide all the days of their lives; through Jesus Christ our Savior. 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 Every time I feel the Spirit Trad. Spiritual, arr. William L. Dawson All rise as able as the bread and wine and money we offer to God are brought forward and presented at the Table.

PresiderIt is truly right to glorify you, Father, and to give you thanks; for you alone are God, living and true, dwelling in light inaccessible from before time and for ever. Fountain of life and source of all goodness, you made all things and fill them with your blessing; you created them to rejoice in the splendor of your radiance. Countless throngs of angels stand before you to serve you night and day; and, beholding the glory of your presence, they offer you unceasing praise. Joining with them, and giving voice to every creature under heaven, we acclaim you, and glorify your Name, as we sing:

The Great Thanksgiving Eucharistic Prayer D Presider The Lord be with you. Assembly And also with you. Presider Lift up your hearts. Assembly We lift them to the Lord. Presider Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. Assembly It is right to give God thanks and praise.

AnniversariesLoving God, in the mystery of the Holy Trinity, you reveal yourself as a community of self-giving love. We thank you for bringing us together into families. Bless we pray these couples who celebrate the anni-versaries of their commitments to one another, and grant that they may grow in grace, fidelity and mutual affection all the days of their lives, through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

PresiderWe acclaim you, holy Lord, glorious in power. Your mighty works reveal your wisdom and love. You formed us in your own image, giving the whole world into our care, so that, in obedience to you, our Creator, we might rule and serve all your creatures. When our disobedience took us far from you, you did not abandon us to the power of death. In your mercy you came to our help, so that in seeking you we might find you. Again and again you called us into covenant with you, and through the prophets you taught us to hope for salvation. Father, you loved the world so much that in the fullness of time you sent your only Son to be our Savior. Incarnate by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, he lived as one of us, yet without sin. To the poor he proclaimed the good news of salvation; to prisoners, freedom; to the sorrowful, joy. To fulfill your purpose he gave himself up to death; and, rising from the grave, destroyed death, and made the whole creation new. And, that we might live no longer for ourselves, but for him who died and rose for us, he sent the Holy Spirit, his own first gift for those who believe, to complete his work in the world, and to bring to fulfillment the sanctification of all. When the hour had come for him to be glorified by you, his heavenly Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end; at supper with them he 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.” Father, we now celebrate this memorial of our redemption. Recalling Christ’s death and his descent among the dead, proclaiming his resurrection and ascension to your right hand, awaiting his coming in glory; and offering to you, from the gifts you have given us, this bread and this cup, we praise you and we bless you. Assembly We praise you, we bless you, we give thanks to you, and we pray to you, Lord our God.

Lord, we pray that in your goodness and mercy your Holy Spirit may descend upon us, and upon these gifts, sanctifying them and showing them to be holy gifts for your holy people, the bread of life and the cup of salvation, the Body and Blood of your Son Jesus Christ. Grant that all who share this bread and cup may become one body and one spirit, a living sacrifice in Christ, to the praise of your Name. Remember, Lord, your one holy catholic and apostolic Church, redeemed by the blood of your Christ. Reveal its unity, guard its faith, and preserve it in peace. And grant that we may find our inheritance with the Blessed Virgin Mary, with patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs, and all the saints who have found favor with you in ages past. We praise you in union with them and give you glory through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Through Christ, and with Christ, and in Christ, all honor and glory are yours, Almighty God and Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever. Amen.

SUNDAYS & BEYONDNews about the life of our parish

This year’s performance will be quite special as we bid farewell to Brian Fairbanks who has served as the Director of the Choir School.

Brian Fairbanks: Fourteen years of ministryBrian Fairbanks, Saint Mark’s Associate Musician and Chapel Organist, will move on to a new chapter in his life in June after 14 years of serving the community at Saint Mark’s. Brian has served here in many capacities--as a founder of St. Mark’s Choir School, cultivator and nurtur-er of singers of all ages, composer, cantor, flutist, Chapel Organist, and most recently, as Interim Canon Musician. Brian said of the transition:

“I am deeply honored that I have had the privilege to work with such a congregation that takes its call to worship, service and transformation so seriously. You inspire me, and will continue to do so in the days and years ahead. This is a unique place, and the ministry of St. Mark’s will continue to shine like the ‘beacon on the hill’ that it is.”

Brian’s ministry has deeply enriched the worship life of this cathedral and has been a blessing to us all. Brian’s last day will be Sunday, June 21. There is more to come about celebrating Brian’s ministry among us, and about how we will attempt to meet the needs his departure will create. Meanwhile, please join in giving thanks for the many blessings we have enjoyed through Brian’s ministry at Saint Mark’s. Thanks be to God!

Changes in the Cathedral ShopGeorge Truesch has resigned from the posi-tion of manager of the Cathedral Shop, a posi-tion he held for the past four months. Alto-gether he has served for 14 years in the Shop, and he expressed a desire to spend more time with his family as a chief factor in his decision to leave at this time. His last day in the Shop

will be May 31, 2015. We are grateful for George’s work and his devotion to the shop as a vibrant ministry of St. Mark’s Cathedral. While George’s departure coming so soon after the retirement of El McFarland prompts significant change for the Cathedral Shop, we are committed to this important ministry at St. Mark’s. The financial challenges for church-affiliated gift shops, especially in the age of online commerce and discount book distributors, have compounded in recent years. The Vestry had a good conversation this past week about these challenges, and it was of one voice in recommit-ting that the Cathedral Shop is an integral ministry of hospi-tality, and has charged the dean and staff with amending the business plan of the Shop to address some of these financial realities, prompted at this time by George’s resignation. We have begun that work already, working with George in the transition, and we will seek new management in the coming weeks as we move forward. If you have interest or ideas in this regard, or in volunteering in this ministry, please share that with Dean Thomason.

Youth Summit: With God’s HelpWelcoming youth grades 9-12MAy 29-30, 2015We have come to a point in the world, and in the church, where it is time to deepen the conversation on race. This event will provide a safe and challenging place for youth from around the diocese to wrestle with others who find themselves challenged, confused and with questions. By wrapping our time in the spirit of the Baptismal Covenant where we answer “We will, with God’s help,” we can begin to explore how we are called to respond to the world in which we live and in the communities which we love. Malcolm McLaurin, Canon for Youth and Young Adults, at St. Mark’s and Heidi Kim, Missioner for Racial Reconciliation for the Episcopal Church, will co-facilitate. Bishop Greg Rickel will actively participate. Visit ecww.org to register. Questions? Contact Malcolm McLaurin, mmclaurin@saintmarks.org.

Baccalaureate SundayAcknowledging recent graduates We will be recognizing graduates of high school, college and other programs with a blessing in the 9 a.m. service on Sunday, June 14. Please help us include all our graduates by sending their name and graduation information to Malcolm McLaurin at mmclaurin@saintmarks.org by Tuesday, June 9 at 5 p.m.
