2Welcome Back!
As we cautiously return to in-person Services at St. John’s, we have put a number of
COVID-19 Protocols in place to keep our Parish and Visitors safe. Many of these
(cleaning, etc) might be invisible to you as you worship with us in our Sanctuary the
Easter morning. Please know that our Clergy, staff and volunteers are vigilant in monitor-
ing the Covid Risk in Cabell County and surrounding areas and in ensuring that all Proto-
cols are consistently followed. In consultation with our Bishop, Clergy, staff and medical
experts, our Vestry continues to remain vigilant and will tightened or relaxed the Proto-
cols as necessary in the coming months to address current vulnerabilities. If you would
like a full booklet of the protocols put into place by our Vestry, please let one of our ush-
ers or staff know and we will make sure you receive a copy. Just to review those that
most impact our time together here in the Sanctuary:
In person worship in the Sanctuary will be limited to a maximum of 40% of the capacity of our Nave
Reservations are not required at this time, but the Vestry will continue to monitor our attendance to
determine if that might need to change in the future.
Masks must be worn at all times. Please sanitize your hands at the provided Sanitizing stations prior
to being seated and again before receiving communion.
Entrance will be via the front steps into the Narthex and exit is via the side door onto the parking lot.
Only the side aisles will be used as an entrance and exit. If you aren't able to navigate the steps,
please come to the side door. Ushers will be at both doors to assist.
Ushers will dismiss by rows at the end of the Service
Pews are marked with blue tape in those areas where you may NOT sit.
We will not physically pass the Peace or offering plates. Offering place will be at both the entrance
and exit to the church. Of course, you may continue to send your pledges and donations by
mail, e-banking or by leaving them in the mailbox on the door to the Parish Office.
Those living together may sit together, but others must stay seated 6 feet apart.
The distribution of Communion is limited to the Host only. While the Consecration will occur at
its usual place in the Service, Distribution will take place after the Dismissal (as you exit the
Sanctuary).
We may have up to two soloists, but there will be no congregational singing at this time.
Our resumption of Services ONLY applies to the 10:30 Sunday Service at this time. Other services
and gatherings will be added over time.
Remember: Keep watching your email and Facebook for further updates each week. If
Cabell County slips back into the Red Zone, in-person services will be suspended until
the situations again improves. If you wish to receive notification by phone of any changes
prior to a Sunday Service, please contact the Parish Office at 304.525.9105 to be added
to a phone tree.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER ALL OF OUR
CURRENT ONLINE SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES
and welcome you to worship and participate with us in the environment
in which you are most comfortable.
A list of streaming times is at the end of this booklet.
3St. John's is church your way:
relevant, reverent, relaxed.
The Episcopal Church is a place that is both ancient and new; the faith we hold goes back to Jesus, back
to his Old Testament spiritual ancestors, back to those who walked the earth before us and found holy
ground. What we do is often based on ancient patterns -- worship and music; loving service to the poor,
the hurting and the lonely; working for justice and peace in our community and the world; lively and fear-
less exploration of ideas and theology. But our faith is also wholly contemporary -- engaging in the culture
and needs of today. The theology of the Episcopal Church allows room for mystery, reason and growth.
WHAT WE ARE FOR
The dignity and value of every person and an open-minded, passionate commitment to truth. Inclusivity.
The importance of each person's unique spiritual journey. Seeing Christ in every person we meet. The
sacredness of life's stages and rites of passage. The value of community. The hard work it takes to en-
sure that ALL are ALWAYS welcomed. Telling the truth about life's challenges. And striving for a church
experience that speaks to all ages and stages of life!
WHAT WE ARE AGAINST
Claiming we have all the answers. Elitism and exclusivism -- most especially within the church. Bigotry for
any reason. Authoritarianism. Indifference to injustice and suffering. Superficial answers to hard ques-
tions. Boring sermons, bad music and general carelessness. (So, God help us, because -- try as we might
-- we're human after all and we don't ALWAYS avoid these!)
WHAT WE VALUE
Community. Open hearts. Open minds and open arms. Deep faith. Staying current in hearts and minds,
but with our roots firmly planted in tradition. Reason. Honesty -- with ourselves and each other. Civic re-
sponsibility as citizens of our communities, our country and the world. Debate that allows for mutual re-
spect. Music and beauty to glorify God -- and for their own sake. Joy in God's creation and our responsi-
bility as caretakers. Anyone who make the effort to get to know and follow Jesus.
Everybody needs a place to belong...
...make St. John's yours!
You will fit right in here; adults, children, families, widows and widowers, retired folks, partners,
those in transition, empty-nesters, divorced, single parents, reluctant teens, blue jeans, flip
flops, shorts, sport coats and wiggly children are all welcome here. Come on, give going to
church on a regular basis a try — you’ll be amazed at how much Sunday worship can make the
rest of the week easier, better and more meaningful. Have questions or doubts? Call to
set up a time to talk with us anytime: 304-525-9105. SAINT

4The Liturgy of the Word
The Prelude
The Opening Hymn: Come, ye faithful, raise the strain (pg. 12) Sung by the Cantor
Priest: Alleluia. Christ is risen.
People: The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia.
Priest and people:
Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid:
Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly
love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Benedictus es, Domine arr. John Rutter Sung by the Cantor
Glory to you, Lord God of our fathers;
you are worthy of praise; glory to you.
Glory to you for the radiance of your holy Name;
we will praise you and highly exalt you for ever.
Glory to you in the splendor of your temple;
on the throne of you majesty, glory to you.
Glory to you, seated between the cherubim;
we will praise you and highly exalt you for ever.
Glory to you, beholding the depths;
in the high vault of heaven, glory to you.
Glory to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
we will praise you and highly exalt you for ever.
The Collect
Priest: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
Priest: Let us pray: (The collect of the day is read. You may stand or kneel.)
Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us
the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord's resurrection,
may be raised from the death of sin by your life-giving Spirit; 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 for the readings. The Lector ends each reading with “The Word of the Lord.”
The People Respond: Thanks be to God.
The First Lesson: Isaiah 25:6-9
On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines,
5of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear.
And he will destroy on this mountain
the shroud that is cast over all peoples,
the sheet that is spread over all nations;
he will swallow up death forever.
Then the Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all faces,
and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth,
for the LORD has spoken.
It will be said on that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us.
This is the LORD for whom we have waited;
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
The Psalm: 118:1-2, 14-24 Confitemini Domino Sung by the Cantor
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; *
his mercy endures for ever.
2 Let Israel now proclaim, *
"His mercy endures for ever."
14 The LORD is my strength and my song, *
and he has become my salvation.
15 There is a sound of exultation and victory *
in the tents of the righteous:
16 "The right hand of the LORD has triumphed! *
the right hand of the LORD is exalted!
the right hand of the LORD has triumphed!"
17 I shall not die, but live, *
and declare the works of the LORD.
18 The LORD has punished me sorely, *
but he did not hand me over to death.
19 Open for me the gates of righteousness; *
I will enter them;
I will offer thanks to the LORD.
20 "This is the gate of the LORD; *
he who is righteous may enter."
21 I will give thanks to you, for you answered me *
and have become my salvation.
22 The same stone which the builders rejected *
has become the chief cornerstone.
23 This is the LORD's doing, *
and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 On this day the LORD has acted; *
we will rejoice and be glad in it. 6The Epistle: Acts 10:34-43 Peter began to speak to Cornelius and the other Gentiles: "I truly understand that God shows no par- tiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ--he is Lord of all. That mes- sage spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name." The Sequence Hymn: He is risen, he is risen! (pg. 13) Sung by the Cantor The Gospel: John 20:1-18 Please stand. The priest announces the gospel. The People Respond: Glory to you, Lord Christ. Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the lin- en wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples returned to their homes. But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magda- lene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them that he had said these things to her. The gospel is ended. The People Respond: Praise to you, Lord Christ. The Sermon 7 Fr. Ray Hage

The Holy Communion
This is Eucharistic Prayer B. The people stand.
Priest The Lord be with you.
People And also with you.
Priest Lift up your hearts.
People We lift them to the Lord.
Priest Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People It is right to give him thanks and praise.
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
But chiefly are we bound to praise you for the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord;
for he is the true Paschal Lamb, who was sacrificed for us, and has taken away the sin of the world. By
his death he has destroyed death, and by his rising to life again he has won for us everlasting life.
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:
9The Sanctus arr. Calvin Hampton Sung by the Cantor
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might
Heaven and earth are full of your glory
Hosanna in the highest
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest
You may now kneel or sit as you are able, or you may choose to continue standing.
We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in crea-
tion; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above
all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from
the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil,
and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of
sin into righteousness, out of death into life.
On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus 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, according to his command, O Father,
Celebrant and People
We remember his death,
We proclaim his resurrection,
We await his coming in glory;
And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from
your creation, this bread and this wine.
We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament
of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we
may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all
things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where,
with [ and] all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and
daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the
author of our salvation.
By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Al-
mighty Father, now and for ever. Amen.
10The Lord’s Prayer
And now as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say:
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 Fraction arr. David Hurd Sung by the Cantor

Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;
therefore let us keep the feast.

and you have fed us with spiritual food through Christ our Lord. Amen.
in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood.
11The Easter Blessing
May Almighty God, who has redeemed us and made us his children through the resurrection of his
Son our Lord, bestow upon you the riches of his blessing. Amen
May God, who through the water of baptism has raised us from sin into newness of life, make you
holy and worthy to be united with Christ for ever. Amen

For St. John’s as we search for a new Rector and for the Diocese of WV as we search for
a Bishop Coadjuter: Almighty God, give of every good gift, look graciously on your Church

dren in love.

For the heroes and heroines of the struggle for civil rights (thanks and fu-
ture encouragement in commemoration of the April death of Martin Luther King, Jr) O bounti-
ful and merciful God: you have blessed your people with great prophets and leaders
to advance the cause of equality under law in this nation and in the world. By their teaching
and preaching; by their action and example; by their marching, demonstrating, and sitting in;
by their organizing, praying and singing, they have made themselves and the dream of non-
discrimination impossible for opponents to ignore and possible for those marginalized to
dream. Give us such leaders always, Lord. Let the cry for justice always be heard in our land
until, by your gracious will, your children live together in freedom, justice, and equality.
17For this time of pandemic: O almighty and merciful God, with whom are the issues of life and
death: Grant us, we beseech thee, help and deliverance in this time of grievous sickness and mor-

For Peace: Oh God, you made us in your own image and redeemed us through Jesus your son.
Look now with compassion on the entire human family; and particularly this part of the family, in
the United States, and those in our nation’s capital; take away the arrogance and hatred which in-
fect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; unite us in bonds of love; and work through
our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in your good time, all na-
tions and races may serve you in harmony around your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ our
Lord.
For those celebrating birthdays: Cordelia Morris (4/4), Brad Lochlear (4/14), Chloe Scott
(4/16)

For all those who have died, especially Paul Whear and Williams Evans. Holy God, holy and
mighty, holy and immortal, keep in your special care these, our beloved. Wipe away the tears of

us steadfast in faith, constant in hope and ardent in love and bring us all into that place you have
prepared in your heavenly kingdom.
For those who mourn: Most merciful God, whose wisdom is beyond our understanding: Deal
graciously with Tara and all those who mourn. Surround them with your love, that they may not be
overwhelmed by their loss, but have confidence in your goodness, and strength to meet the days to
come; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
