Prelude

Hymn 411: “O bless the Lord, my soul”                                  St. Thomas
1 O bless the Lord, my soul!                4 He pardons all thy sins,
His grace to thee proclaim!                 prolongs thy feeble breath;
And all that is within me join              he healeth thine infirmities
to bless his holy Name!                     and ransoms thee from death.

2 O bless the Lord, my soul!                5 He clothes thee with his love,
His mercies bear in mind!                   upholds thee with his truth;
Forget not all his benefits!                and like the eagle he renews
The Lord to thee is kind.                   the vigor of thy youth.

3 He will not always chide;                 6 Then bless his holy Name,
he will with patience wait;                 whose grace hath made thee whole,
his wrath is ever slow to rise              whose loving-kindness crowns thy days:
and ready to abate.                         O bless the Lord, my soul!

Opening Acclamation
Celebrant: Blessed be the one, holy, and living God.
People: Glory to God, for ever and ever.

Celebrant: Jesus said, “The first commandment is this: Hear, O Israel: The Lord
your God is the only Lord. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all
your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: Love
your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:29-31
The Confession
Celebrant: Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.
All: God of all mercy, we confess that we have sinned against you, opposing
your will in our lives. We have denied your goodness in each other, in our-
selves, and in the world you have created. We repent of the evil that enslaves
us, the evil we have done, and the evil done on our behalf. Forgive, restore,
and strengthen us through our Savior Jesus Christ, that we may abide in your
love and serve only your will. Amen.

Celebrant: Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through
our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the
Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

Song of Praise: 122 (St. 1): “Alleluia, song of gladness”   Urbs Beata Jerusalem
Alleluia, song of gladness,
voice of joy that cannot die;
alleluia is the anthem
ever raised by choirs on high;
in the house of God abiding
thus they sing eternally.

The Word of God
Celebrant: God be with you.
People: And also with you.
Celebrant: Let us pray.

The Celebrant says the Collect (Prayer) of the Day                        BCP 216
Set us free, O God, from the bondage of our sins, and give us the liberty of that
abundant life which you have made known to us in your Son our Savior Jesus
Christ; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and for ever. Amen.
Isaiah 40:21 - 31
Common English Bible translation (CEB)
Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard? Wasn’t it announced to you from the
beginning? Haven’t you understood since the earth was founded? God inhabits
the earth’s horizon—its inhabitants are like locusts—stretches out the skies like a
curtain and spreads it out like a tent for dwelling. God makes dignitaries useless
and the earth’s judges into nothing. Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown,
scarcely is their shoot rooted in the earth when God breathes on them, and they
dry up; the windstorm carries them off like straw. So to whom will you compare
me, and who is my equal? says the holy one. Look up at the sky and consid-
er: Who created these? The one who brings out their attendants one by one,
summoning each of them by name. Because of God’s great strength and mighty
power, not one is missing. Why do you say, Jacob, and declare, Israel, “My way
is hidden from the Lord, my God ignores my predicament”? Don’t you know?
Haven’t you heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of the ends of
the earth. He doesn’t grow tired or weary. His understanding is beyond human
reach, giving power to the tired and reviving the exhausted. Youths will become
tired and weary, young men will certainly stumble; but those who hope in the
Lord will renew their strength; they will fly up on wings like eagles; they will run
and not be tired; they will walk and not be weary.

Reader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People.
People: Thanks be to God.

Gospel Alleluia: “Arise, shine, for your light has come”              Arise shine
Refrain only, Sung twice
Arise, shine, for your light has come,
his glory is upon you.

The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ according to Mark 1:29 - 39
People: Glory to you, O Christ.
Common English Bible translation (CEB)
After leaving the synagogue, Jesus, James, and John went home with Simon and
Andrew. Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed, sick with a fever, and they told Jesus
about her at once. He went to her, took her by the hand, and raised her up. The
fever left her, and she served them. That evening, at sunset, people brought to
Jesus those who were sick or demon-possessed. The whole town gathered near
the door. He healed many who were sick with all kinds of diseases, and he threw
out many demons. But he didn’t let the demons speak, because they recognized
him. Early in the morning, well before sunrise, Jesus rose and went to a deserted
place where he could be alone in prayer. Simon and those with him tracked him
down. When they found him, they told him, “Everyone’s looking for you!” He
replied, “Let’s head in the other direction, to the nearby villages, so that I can
preach there too. That’s why I’ve come.” He traveled throughout Galilee, preach-
ing in their synagogues and throwing out demons.

Deacon or Priest: The Gospel of our Savior.
People: Praise to you, O Christ.

The Homily                                           The Rev. David P. Casey, O.P.

The Nicene Creed                                                         BCP 358
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: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the
Virgin Mary, and was made man. 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. With the Father
and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Proph-
ets. 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.

ers, aloud or in the quiet room of our hearts. The leader pauses for 10 seconds

O Lord our God, accept the fervent prayers of your people; in the multitude of
your mercies, look with compassion upon us and all who turn to you for help;
for you are gracious, O lover of souls, and to you we give glory, Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.

Hymn 529: “In Christ there is no East or West”                             McKee
1 In Christ there is no East or West,     3 In Christ now meet both East and West,
in him no South or North,                 in him meet South and North,
but one great fellowship of love          all Christly souls are one in him,
throughout the whole wide earth.          throughout the whole wide earth.

2 Join hands, disciples of the faith,

Who serves my Father as his child
is surely kin to me.

Celebrant: Let us now join in the prayer that Jesus taught us.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be
done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we
forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from
evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.

God of all power and love, we give thanks for your unfailing presence and the hope
you provide in times of uncertainty and loss. Send your Holy Spirit to enkindle in us
your holy fire. Revive us to live as Christ’s body in the world: a people who pray, wor-
ship, learn, break bread, share life, heal neighbors, bear good news, seek justice, rest
and grow in the Spirit. Wherever and however we gather, unite us in common prayer
and send us in common mission, that we and the whole creation might be restored
and renewed, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Blessing
May Christ, the Son of God, be manifest in you, that your lives may be a light to the
world; and the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be
among you and remain with you, always. Amen.

The Dismissal
The congregation responds Thanks be to God!

Postlude
Dear Friend,

                                             For 73 days this year, Virginians shel-
                                             tered in place under the Governor's
                                             "stay at home" order. But the reali-
                                             ty for almost 200 neighbors within
                                             the Micah community was that they
                                             had no shelter in which to place.

Through the love of the churches, Micah committed to remaining a lighthouse in
the storm – to securing emergency, socially-distanced motel rooms for our vulner-
able neighbors. The doors of Micah Hospitality Center stayed open for showers,
clean clothes, and other basic provisions. Thousands of hot meals were delivered.

Transitions into permanent housing (51 and counting) were expedited. And even
a pandemic couldn’t stop the creative ways Micah helped our neighbors increase
their income. Battle buddies showed up, distributing cleaning supplies, masks,
and hand sanitizers. The churches of Fredericksburg showed up, even if that
meant gathering in a parking lot six feet apart.

Our prayer remains, if only for a season, that we get everyone off the street and
no one has to return to the street. That all of our neighbors continue to experi-
ence the security and stability of shelter, and eventually a permanent home. That
they don’t just survive. That they thrive.

The future remains unknown, and in many ways, the challenges are only just
beginning.

Here are some ways you can make an impact:
$15 provides a night of winter shelter for one person
$25 buys a tent or sleeping bag
$30 keeps someone in housing for a day
$45 keeps someone in a socially distanced shelter bed for a night
$100 buys a night of respite care for a person recovering from a hospital visit
$200 a day sparks the spiritual walk of new disciples
$350 a day provides basic needs of people living on the street
$900 covers the average rental deposit
$1500 bridges someone to work
$5,000 a month supports the missional and spiritual community that is forming
among our neighbors

Thank you for loving your neighbor!
