All: Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth.
Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give
you thanks, we praise you for your glory.
Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God,
you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer.
For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

The Collect of the Day

All: Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist
the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who
make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The Lessons (please be seated)
Reader: A reading from Exodus Exodus 12:1-14

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: This month shall mark
for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you.
Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth of this month they are to
take a lamb for each family, a lamb for each household. If a household is too
small for a whole lamb, it shall join its closest neighbor in obtaining one; the lamb
shall be divided in proportion to the number of people who eat of it. Your lamb
shall be without blemish, a year-old male; you may take it from the sheep or from
the goats. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; then the whole
assembled congregation of Israel shall slaughter it at twilight. They shall take
some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in
which they eat it. They shall eat the lamb that same night; they shall eat it roasted
over the fire with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Do not eat any of it raw or
3

boiled in water, but roasted over the fire, with its head, legs, and inner organs.
You shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the
morning you shall burn. This is how you shall eat it: your loins girded, your
sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it hurriedly. It
is the passover of the LORD. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night,
and I will strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both human beings
and animals; on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD.
The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live: when I see the
blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike the
land of Egypt. This day shall be a day of remembrance for you. You shall
celebrate it as a festival to the LORD; throughout your generations you shall
observe it as a perpetual ordinance.

Reader: The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.
S415







Cantate Domino Psalm 149

Cantor: Hallelujah!
Sing to the LORD a new song; *
sing his praise in the congregation of the faithful.

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; *
let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

All: Let them praise his Name in the dance; *
let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people *
and adorns the poor with victory.

Cantor: Let the faithful rejoice in triumph; *
let them be joyful on their beds.

Let the praises of God be in their throat *
4

and a two-edged sword in their hand;

All: To wreak vengeance on the nations *
and punishment on the peoples;

To bind their kings in chains *
and their nobles with links of iron;

Cantor: To inflict on them the judgment decreed; *
this is glory for all his faithful people.
Hallelujah!


Reader: A reading from Pauls Epistle to the Romans Romans 13:8-14


Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another
has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery; You
shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet"; and any other
commandment, are summed up in this word, "Love your neighbor as yourself."
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.
Besides this, you 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 debauchery and licentiousness, not in
quarreling and jealousy. Instead, put on the Lord J esus Christ, and make no
provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

Reader: The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

GRADUAL HYMN Awake, O Sleeper, Rise from Death #547


Deacon: The Holy Gospel of our Lord J esus Christ according to Matthew
All: Glory to you, Lord Christ. Matthew 18:15-20

J esus said, "If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out
the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have
regained that one. But if you are not listened to, take one or two others along
with you, so that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three
witnesses. If the member refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if the
offender refuses to listen even to the church, let such a one be to you as a Gentile
and a tax collector. Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in
heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, truly I
5

tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for
you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I
am there among them."

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

All: To the glory of God, the mission of Christ Church Parish is to serve Jesus Christ
and all the people of God; to encourage and facilitate spiritual development for
people of all ages; to grow as Christians in a loving and forgiving fellowship,
thereby confirming, witnessing and leading others to the faith by the power of
the Holy Spirit.

The Sermon Sister Diana Doncaster (please be seated)

The Nicene Creed (please stand)
All: 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:
Was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became truly
human.
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.
Who, with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified.
Who 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.

which passeth understanding abide all the days of her life; through J esus Christ
our Lord. Amen.

sacrifice to God.

The Great Thanksgiving

Presider: The Lord be with you.
All: And also with you.

Presider: Lift up your hearts.
All: We lift them to the Lord.

Presider: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
All: It is right to give him thanks and praise.

Presider: It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you,
Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

Through J esus Christ our Lord. In fulfillment of his true promise, the Holy Spirit
came down from heaven, lighting upon the disciples, to teach them and to lead
them into all truth; uniting peoples of many tongues in the confession of one
faith, and giving to your Church the power to serve you as a royal priesthood,
and to preach the Gospel to all nations.

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:

Sanctus



















9

All: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.

(stand or kneel)
Presider: Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself, and,
when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your
mercy, sent J esus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human
nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of
all.

He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to
your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.

On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord J esus 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 we proclaim the mystery of faith:
All: Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.

Presider: We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of
praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we
offer you these gifts.

Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of
your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us
also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity,
constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy
of your eternal kingdom.

10

All this we ask through your Son J esus Christ: 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.

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

All: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

The Breaking of the Bread BCP p. 364

Presider: Alleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;
All: Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia.

Agnus Dei















Presider: The Gifts of God for the People of God. Take them in remembrance that
Christ died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.

St. John Chrysostoms feast day is September 13. J ohn was called "Chrysostom" ("Golden
Mouth") because of his eloquence. He was a priest of Antioch, and an outstanding preacher.
(Audiences were warned not to carry large sums of money when they went to hear him speak,
since pickpockets found it very easy to rob his hearers -- they were too intent on his words to
notice what was happening.) His sermons are mostly straightforward expositions of Holy
Scripture (he has extensive commentaries on both Testaments, with special attention to the
Epistles of Paul), and he emphasizes the literal meaning, whereas the style popular at
Alexandria tended to read allegorical meanings into the text. He loved the city and people of
Antioch, and they loved him. However, he became so famous that the Empress at
Constantinople decided that she must have him for her court preacher, and she had him
kidnapped and brought to Constantinople and there made bishop. This was a failure all around.
His sermons against corruption in high places earned him powerful enemies (including the
Empress), and he was sent into exile, where he died. Along with Athanasius of Alexandria,
Basil the Great, and Gregory of Nazianzus, he is counted as one of the Four Great Eastern (or
Greek) Doctors of the Ancient Church. The Four Great Western (or Latin) Doctors are
Ambrose, J erome, Augustine, and Gregory the Great.
