O God, whose blessed Son made Himself known to his disciple in the breaking of bread:

Open the eyes of our faith, that we may behold Him in all His redeeming work; who lives

and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

REFLECTION FIRST LESSON: This reading is a summary of the preaching and

other activities of the early Christian community in Jerusalem.

1st LESSON: 7:30a.m. - Peter Rochester 9:15a.m. - Denise Boyce-Worrell

FIRSTFIRSTFIRSTFIRST LESSON: LESSON: LESSON: LESSON: Acts 2:14a, 36-47

Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them, Let all the house

of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus

whom you crucified." Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to

Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?" And Peter said to them,

"Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness

of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you

and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to

him." And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, "Save

yourselves from this crooked generation." So those who received his word were baptized,

and there were added that day about three thousand souls. And they devoted themselves

to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And fear

came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. And

all who believed were together and had all things in common; and they sold their

possessions and goods and distributed them to all, as any had need. And day by day,

attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food

with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the

Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

REFLECTION THE PSALM: An offering of thanksgiving and praise by one who has

been rescued from death.

PSALMPSALMPSALMPSALM: 116 (7:30a.m. - page 623 BCP)

1. I AM well pleased : that the Lord hath heard the voice of my prayer.

2. That he hath inclined his ear unto me : therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

3. The snares of death compassed me round about : and the pains of hell gat hold upon

me.

4. I shall find trouble and heaviness, and I will call upon the Name of the Lord : O Lord, I

beseech thee, deliver my soul.

5. Gracious is the Lord, and righteous : yea, our God is merciful

3

6. The Lord preserveth the simple : I was in misery, and he helped me.

7. Turn again then unto thy rest, O my soul : for the Lord hath rewarded thee.

8. And why? thou hast delivered my soul from death : mine eyes from tears, and my feet

from falling.

9. I will walk before the Lord : in the land of the living.

10. I believed, and therefore will I speak; but I was sore troubled : I said in my haste, All

men are liars.

11. What reward shall I give unto the Lord : for all the benefits that he hath done unto

me?

12. I will receive the cup of salvation : and call upon the Name of the Lord.

13. I will pay my vows now in the presence of all his people : right dear in the sight of the

Lord is the death of his saints.

14. Behold, O Lord, how that I am thy servant : I am thy servant, and the son of thine

handmaid; thou hast broken my bonds in sunder.

15. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call upon the Name of the

Lord.

16. I will pay my vows unto the Lord, in the sight of all his people : in the courts of the

Lord’s house, even in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord.

REFLECTION SECOND LESSON: In this New Testament lesson we hear that the price

of Christian freedom from the old ways of futility has been paid with the sacrificial

blood of Christ. Although now we await the judgment of God in awe, we have the faith

and hope of people who have been born anew.

2nd LESSON: 7:30a.m. - Janice Turton 9:15a.m. - Men’s Fellowship

SECOND LESSON: SECOND LESSON: SECOND LESSON: SECOND LESSON: 1 Peter 1:17-23

If you invoke as Father him who judges each one impartially according to his deeds,

conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile. You know that you were

ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things

such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without

blemish or spot. He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made

manifest at the end of the times for your sake. Through him you have confidence in God,

who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the

brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart. You have been born anew, not of

perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;

GRADUAL HYMN - 186

REFLECTION THE GOSPEL: Our Gospel is the story of how two disciples were met

by a stranger on the road to Emmaus. That evening, as he breaks bread with them, they

know the stranger to be Jesus. While they are walking together, Jesus interprets the

scriptures to them, showing that it was necessary that Christ should suffer. Later he

disappears from their sight. While their Lord is no longer physically present, the church

now knows that Jesus will disclose himself in scripture and the breaking of bread, and

sometimes through a stranger.

THE GOSPEL: THE GOSPEL: THE GOSPEL: THE GOSPEL: Luke 24:13-35

On the first day of the week two of Jesus’ followers were going to a village named

Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these

things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself

4

drew near and went with them. But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. And he

said to them, "What is this conversation which you are holding with each other as you

walk?" And they stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered

him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have

happened there in these days?" And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to

him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before

God and all the people, and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be

condemned to death, and crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem

Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since this happened. Moreover,

some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning and

did not find his body; and they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of

angels, who said that he was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and

found it just as the women had said; but him they did not see." And he said to them, "O

foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not

necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?" And

beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the

things concerning himself. So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He

appeared to be going further, but they constrained him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is

toward evening and the day is now far spent." So he went in to stay with them. When he

was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them.

And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight.

They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the

road, while he opened to us the scriptures?" And they rose that same hour and returned to

Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them,

who said, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!" Then they told what

had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

THE SERMON

THE NICENE CREED - Page 104

Bidding Prayer

Let us pray to the Lord revealed to us in word and sacrament.

Help your people to search the Scriptures to bring us nearer to our Lord…May the hearts

of Christians burn with faith as they feel his presence…Help us to know and to make him

known in the breaking of bread.

Guide the feet that walk in doubt and uncertainty and have lost their way on the long

roads of the world…Dispel the anxieties and the false reports that keep people apart; set

them free with the good news of salvation.

May Christ be the guest at every table…May we see him in the stranger as well as in

those close to us and make the weary and hungry welcome for his sake.

We pray for the homeless and for those who wander without a destination…Grant shelter

to the protected, bread to the hungry and rest to the weary…Bless those who do the work

of relief at home and abroad.

Be with those whose day is far spent and who are near to death…We pray for those who

are with Christ in the eternal feast of his love and see him with the eyes of perfect sight.

We pray in the name of Christ, our companion through every day. Amen.

RECESSIONAL HYMN - 166

But our God is He.





See the chains of death are broken;

Earth below and heaven above

Joy in each amazing token

Of His rising, Lord of love;

He for evermore shall reign

By the Father’s side,

Till He comes to earth again,

Comes to claim His Bride.





Glorious Angels downward thronging

Hail the Lord of all the skies;

Heav’n, with joy and holy longing

For the Word Incarnate, cries,

“Christ is risen! Earth, rejoice!

Gleam, ye starry train!

All creation, find a voice;

He o’er all shall reign.”




O’er the universe to reign.
