PRELUDE Le Banquet Celeste (Heavenly Banquet) Dr. Julia Brown,
by Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) Organist
Messiaen is one of the great mystics of the 20th century. His meditation on the Last Supper moves at an
extremely slow pace, allowing us space for contemplation, introspection and a sense of time standing still.
NEWS OF THE CHURCH Rachael Cooley,
Director of Outreach and Family Ministires
MOMENT FOR MUSIC Dr. Brown
INTROIT The Lord is Here Chancel Choir

ANTHEM Be Still and Know Carol Choir
by Blanche Douglas Byles
Be still and know that I am God.
Up into a mountain, I went apart to pray. Carefully I worded all I meant to say.
But the green, still silence of fern and forest tree taught my soul to listen and let God speak to me.

OFFERTORY ANTHEM Blessed be the God and Father Chancel Choir
by Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1810-1876)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy, hath
begotten us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance in
corruptible and undefiled, that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power
of God, through faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time. But as He which hath called
you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation. Pass the time of your sojourning here in fear. Love
one another with a pure heart fervently. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by
the word of God. For all flesh is as grass and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass
withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away. But the word of the Lord endureth forever, Amen.
DOXOLOGY*
Praise God from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
SACRAMENT OF HOLY COMMUNION
Invitation to Communion
The Great ThanksgivingApostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
