Fourth Sunday of Easter Worship Service
Prelude The Lord’s My Shepherd (Brother James’ Air)
Opening Hymn 664 “My Shepherd will supply my need”
My Shepherd will supply my need, Jehovah is his Name;
in pastures fresh he makes me feed beside the living stream.
He bring my wandering spirit back when I forsake his ways,
and leads me, for his mercy’s sake, in paths of truth and grace.
When I walk through the shades of death, thy presence is my stay;
one word of thy supporting breath drives all my fears away.
Thy hand, in sight of all my foes, doth still my table spread;
my cup with blessings overflows, thy oil anoints my head.
The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days;
oh, may thy house be mine abode and all my work be praise.
There would I find a settled rest, while others go and come;
no more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home.
The Word of God
The people standing, the Celebrant says
Alleluia. Christ is risen.
People The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia.
The Celebrant may say
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.
All sing.
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,
1Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
The Collect of the Day
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.
A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles 2:42-47
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.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.
People Thanks be to God.
Psalm 23
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.
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.
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.
A Reading from the first letter of Peter 2:19-25
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.
2“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.
Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.
People Thanks be to God.
Gradual Hymn Alleluia
The Gospel: John 10:1-10
Deacon or Priest 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/Priest The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.
Sermon The Rev. Cameron O’Riley

Prayers of the People
Let us rejoice in the living hope that has been given to us through the resurrection of Jesus
Christ, as we respond to each petition by saying, “Hear us, O risen Christ.”
In thanksgiving for the fellowship we share with Christians throughout the world, who hold high
the light of Christ that overpowers death and reveals the promises of God’s eternal reign; let us
pray.
Hear us, O risen Christ.
Grant us your abiding and merciful presence, so that in the time of trial we will not be shaken,
but may walk the path of your glory to the fullness of your joy; let us pray.
3Hear us, O risen Christ.
Show us your wounds, that we may see your face in the faces of the poor and hungry, the abused
and rejected, the lonely and despised, and respond with the sacrificial generosity by which you
redeemed humanity from sin and evil; let us pray.
Hear us, O risen Christ.
Help us to be a people of forgiveness, moving beyond our feelings of betrayal and rejection, to
forgive those who have pierced our hearts, and to receive forgiveness from those whom we have
wounded, so that together we may receive the victory of love for which Christ gave his life; let
us pray.
Hear us, O risen Christ.
Direct the Church on the road to mutual respect, fidelity, and peace honoring different cultures,
languages, races and peoples, so that we may discover the beauty of the global community for
which Christ stretched forth his arms of love; let us pray.
Hear us, O risen Christ.
Bread of life and cup of our eternal joy, fill us with these riches of your grace, that we may know
your constant presence with those who dwell on earth, and with those whose dwelling place is in
paradise; let us pray.
Hear us, O risen Christ.
For those who have died [especially…] that they may have a place in your heavenly kingdom; let
us pray.
Hear us, O risen Christ.
In companionship with all the baptized, let us continue our prayers. For all those serving on the
front line of our hospitals and care facilities [especially…]; let us pray.
Hear us, O risen Christ.
For the sick, the friendless, and the needy [especially…]; let us pray.
Hear us, O risen Christ.
And for those celebrating birthdays this week [especially…]; and for […] who celebrate their

Peace
Hymn 370 verse 6 “St. Patrick’s Breastplate”
Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
The Lord’s Prayer
Celebrant
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
4People and Celebrant
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.
General Thanksgiving
Officiant and People
Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we your unworthy servants give you humble thanks for all
your goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all whom you have made. We bless you for our
creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love
in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope
of glory. And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies, that with truly thankful
hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our
selves to your service, and by walking before you in holiness and righteousness all our days;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory
throughout all ages. Amen.
Blessing
