Psalm 147:13-21 seated sung by the Choir George Thalben Ball (1896-1987)

Worship the LORD, O Jerusalem; *

praise your God, O Zion;

For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; *

he has blessed your children within you.

He has established peace on your borders; *

he satisfies you with the finest wheat.

He sends out his command to the earth, *

and his word runs very swiftly.

He gives snow like wool; *

he scatters hoarfrost like ashes.

2

He scatters his hail like bread crumbs; *

who can stand against his cold?

He sends forth his word and melts them; *

he blows with his wind, and the waters flow.

He declares his word to Jacob, *

his statutes and his judgments to Israel.

He has not done so to any other nation; *

to them he has not revealed his judgments.

Hallelujah!

The Nicene CreedWe 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.

The Prayers of the PeopleThe people respond to each petition with “Lord, hear our prayer.”

The Peace standing

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

The People offer a greeting of peace to one another.

OfferingAnthem The Lamb John Tavener (b. 1944)

Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee? Gave thee life and bid thee feed by the stream and o’er

the mead; gave thee clothing of delight, softest clothing, woolly, bright; gave thee such a tender voice, making all the

vales rejoice? Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee? Little Lamb, I’ll tell thee, Little Lamb, I’ll

tell thee: He is called by thy name, for he calls himself a Lamb. He is meek, and he is mild; He became a little child. I,

a child, and thou a lamb, we are called by his name. Little Lamb, God bless thee! Little Lamb, God bless thee!

–William Blake (1727-1857)

At the Breaking of the Bread

Music: Mode 1 melody; adapt. Mason Martens (1933-1991)

Communion and Prayers for HealingPlease come forward for Communion at the direction of the ushers. Hold your hands in front of you to receive the bread, and help guide the chalice to your lips. Gluten-free bread is available. You may also come forward to receive a blessing. Cross your arms over your chest to indicate you would like to receive a blessing instead of communion.

If you would like to pray with someone confidentially for any need in your life, go through the archway at the front right-hand side of the church to the Chapel, and someone will meet you there before or after you receive Communion.

Anthem Verbum caro factus est Hans Leo Hassler (1564-1612)

Verbum caro factum est, et habitavit in nobis et vidimus gloriam ejus, gloriam quasi unigeti a Patre, plenum gratiae et

veritatis.

The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us; and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten by the Father, full of

grace and truth. –John 1:14
