The following pages of this bulletin provide information about our services this morning, including the text of our assigned readings and the music (at our 10:15 service), as well as news about upcoming events. Please take this bulletin with you to refer to in the coming days. The small candle on the altar is a Candle for Peace. A practice begun in Russia, peace candles are being passed from church to church around the world. (Ours is from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in The Dalles, Oregon.) The candles and the story of the peace candle are available at the back of the church.

We hope guests and visitors will take a peace candle to their home church.

The Collect of the Day

The Celebrant bids the assigned collect, saying

The Lord be with you. People And also with you.

O God, whose Son Jesus is the good shepherd of your people: Grant that

when we hear his voice we may know him who calls us each by name, and follow where he leads; who, with you and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

First Reading – Acts 2:42-47

A lector reads the first reading from Scripture, first saying

A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles.

Those who had been baptized devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching

and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.

At the conclusion of the reading, the lector says

Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. People Thanks be to God.

At the later service, the choir sings the antiphon once, then the congregation sings the antiphon with the choir. The Choir and/or a cantor sings the verses, with the congregation joining in singing the antiphon as indicated below.

1 The LORD is my shepherd; *

I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures *

and leads me beside still waters.

Antiphon

3 He revives my soul * and guides me along right pathways for his Name's sake.

4 Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I shall fear no evil; * for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Antiphon

5 You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me; * you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is running over.

6 Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, *

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Second Reading – 1 Peter 2:19-25

A lector reads the first reading from Scripture, first saying

A Reading from the First Letter of Peter.

It is a credit to you if, being aware of God, you endure pain while suffering

unjustly. If you endure when you are beaten for doing wrong, what credit is that? But if you endure when you do right and suffer for it, you have God's approval. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps.

“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”

When he was abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. For you were going astray like sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

At the conclusion of the reading, the lector says

Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. People Thanks be to God.

Gospel Hymn Celtic Alleluia

The People stand (as they are able) for the reading of the Gospel that follow.

The Gospel Book is brought into the midst of the congregation and the following refrain is sung. The Choir will then sing a verse, then all sing the “Alleluia” refrain again.

Gospel – John 10:1-10

Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Jesus said, “Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by

the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

So again Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”

Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

As able, all stand and prepare to greet one another in the Lord’s name, the Celebrant first saying

The peace of the Lord be always with you. People And also with you.

Please greet those sitting beside you and in the rows in front of and/or behind you.

Birthday/Anniversary Blessings (along with other special prayers/announcements)

Those with birthdays and/or anniversaries to celebrate are invited to come forward to receive a blessing. The People and Celebrant say the appropriate prayer together.

For birthdays:

Watch over your children (child), 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 (life), through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For anniversaries:

O gracious and everliving God, look mercifully on your servants. Grant them your blessing, and assist them with your grace, that with true fidelity and steadfast love they may honor and keep their promises and vows; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

If other members of the congregation wish, they may ask for additional prayers and blessings.

A small “treasure chest” is placed on the chancel rail near the flowers. As members come forward for blessing, they may choose to place a thank offering in the chest. These gifts will be used to support outreach efforts for others in our community.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Coffee Hour/Adult Forum — TODAY @ 9:15 AM Our weekly adult forum meets in Brooks Hall between the morning services, offering a time of fellowship, as well as a chance to exchange information or engage in deeper reflection.

Please join us this morning as we welcome Kim McClain back to Trinity. Kim was an active member of our congregation for many years, but has moved to Cove, Oregon, where she has assumed the position of Executive Director for Ascension School, our Diocesan camp and conference center. She joins us this morning in that new capacity to bring us up to speed on her changes and what she can share about new hopes and dreams for Ascension and the Diocese of Eastern Oregon. (Along the way, she’ll probably make a pitch for our support of Cove/COPY! Also, see the insert in today’s bulletin for more about this outreach to children in our community.)

Next week, Barb Morris will share a reprise of a presentation from February’s retreat for women on the “Desert Mothers.” The Desert Mothers were courageous Matriarchs of the faith (and they probably outnumbered their more famous colleagues, the Desert Fathers). Join us for a snapshot of their 4th century lives and witness, and ponder what their example might mean for us today.

Circle of Love — Thursday @ 5:30 PM Circle of Love (COL) is a group of women who enjoy monthly fellowship and food. COL returns to evening meetings for the summer, starting this week. We'll be meeting at Carolyn Richardson's home on Thursday, May 11, at 5:30 pm. Plan to bring a topping for our salad bar. Bring a friend and join us for an evening of relaxed fellowship.

Carolyn's address is 2493 NE Saranac Place. Her phone number is (541) 408-9870. Traveling north on 8th Street from Greenwood or Revere, turn right on Bennington Street (one block before the roundabout at Butler Market) and then the first right onto Saranac Place. If you have questions, give Carolyn a call.

Trinity Women’s Retreat Planning Meeting — Tuesday, May 16th Interested in helping to plan our next Trinity Women's Retreat? Our first planning meeting is on Tuesday, May 16, at 2:00 in the downstairs classroom. Contact Milree Latimer @ [email protected] for more information, or just show up! We'd love to see you.

Trinity Hikers — Wednesday, May 17th We are hiking at Trout Creek Ranch on Wednesday, May 17. We will meet at the JC Penney parking lot at 9:00 am, and carpool from there. The trail is a well-maintained path, adjacent to Trout Creek. In addition to a nice hike in a canyon, we have a good chance of seeing some raptors, wildflowers, and perhaps some wildlife. The trail is about 6 miles (round-trip) and essentially flat. For those more adventuresome, there is an optional 2 mile extension with a 600-foot elevation gain to a lookout.

If you are interested or have questions, please send an email to either Loretta Slepikas @ [email protected] or Bill Silliman @ [email protected].

Highway Cleanup — Tuesday, May 20th Our next cleanup of our section of Highway 20 is Saturday, May 20. There are signup sheets available for those who can give a little time to beautify the drive towards Sisters (and give the public a good image for Trinity in the process). Need more info? Talk to Tom or Shirley Baxter or call Tom at (406) 490-0014.

United Thank Offering (UTO) Boxes It’s never too late to turn in filled UTO boxes. The official date of our ingathering of the boxes (filled during this past Lent) has passed, but you can drop yours off today … or as soon as you can.

You can drop your box in the offering plate this morning (or a check to cover the amount collected). Checks should be made out to Trinity Episcopal Church with UTO on the memo line.

Thanks to all who participated in the UTO Lenten campaign! (Be sure your name is on the box if you’d like your cash donation included in your yearend charitable contributions statement.)

“Dear Church Family” … a note from Susan Evans, Music Director Our last Choir Sunday will be coming up on June 11th- so soon! After this Sunday we will take our usual summer hiatus through early September. As services continue, we are looking for musicians to inspire us during our summer worship experience

This is your chance to share your musical gifts with our community! Please contact me (Susan Evans) if you are interested in singing or playing an Offertory selection for one or more Sundays in the summer season, from June 18th through September 3rd. I would be happy to help you select a song or instrumental number to present, and an accompanist will be provided for you. All ages, all instruments and all levels are welcome. Come help us make music to the glory of God!

Yours in ministry, Susan T. Evans
