THE FIFTH SUNDAY
AFTER THE EPIPHANY
FEBRUARY 6, 2022
OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
TO KNOW GOD
AND TO MAKE GOD KNOWNEpiphany
Welcome. To those visiting a church for the first time to “cradle” Episcopalians.
The people of St. Luke’s are pleased that you are here. Name tags and
brochures are available from the greeters outside the door if you are looking for
them. If you want to know more about St. Luke’s ministries in the community and
other programs that focus on our mission “To know God and to make God
known,” join us for coffee in the Parish Hall.
Our worship leaflet contains all that you need for each service including hymns.
Our sources are the Book of Common Prayer (BCP and supplemental
liturgies), authorized Episcopal hymnals and other music resources. Our Book of
Common Prayer contains many passages from Scripture. The first part of the
service is called the Liturgy of the Word when we listen to the Word of God and
respond in faith in prayers, a confession, and an exchange of the Peace of Christ.
Following the announcements, we celebrate the second part called the Liturgy of
the Table which is also known as Holy Communion and Holy Eucharist. At that
time all baptized Christians are invited to the Lord’s Table as well as all who seek
him.
Headsets for amplified audio are available from the ushers. Check that the
setting is at “OFF” before using and then adjust. The brand name on the device
must face the Altar. If you wear a hearing aid device, sometimes you must remove
it in order to wear the headset.
To receive Holy Communion,
Please come to the Altar and extend your hands. You will receive a wafer
or a gluten-free rice cracker; wine is not being offered at this time due to
Covid protocols. If you do not want to receive the host but desire a
blessing, you may cross your arms over your chest.
Please ask the ushers at the door any questions you may have. We hope
you will enjoy being here.

THE FIRST READING
A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah 6:1-8
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high
and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple. Seraphs were in
attendance above him; each had six wings: with two they covered their
faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. And
one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the
whole earth is full of his glory." The pivots on the thresholds shook at the
voices of those who called, and the house filled with smoke. And I said:
"Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a
people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!"
Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken
from the altar with a pair of tongs. The seraph touched my mouth with it
and said: "Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and
your sin is blotted out." Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom
shall I send, and who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I; send me!"
Reader: The Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
THE GRADUAL Psalm 138
1 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; *
before the gods I will sing your praise.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple
and praise your Name, *
because of your love and faithfulness;
Continued on Next Pg.
53 For you have glorified your Name *
and your word above all things.
4 When I called, you answered me; *
you increased my strength within me.
5 All the kings of the earth will praise you, O Lord, *
when they have heard the words of your mouth.
6 They will sing of the ways of the Lord, *
that great is the glory of the Lord.
7 Though the Lord be high, he cares for the lowly; *
he perceives the haughty from afar.
8 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me safe; *
you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies;
your right hand shall save me.
9 The Lord will make good his purpose for me; *
O Lord, your love endures for ever;
do not abandon the works of your hands.
THE SECOND READING
A Reading from Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians 15:1-11
I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I
proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand,
through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message
that I proclaimed to you--unless you have come to believe in vain. For I
handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that
Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was
buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the
scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he
appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most
of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he appeared to
James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he
appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an
apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I
am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the
contrary, I worked harder than any of them--though it was not I, but the
grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we
proclaim and so you have come to believe.
Reader: The Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
6Please stand.
THE SEQUENCE HYMN “Amazing Grace” 1982 Hymnal 671
Verses 1, 2 & 5
THE HOLY GOSPEL Luke 5:1-11
Celebrant: The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
according to Luke.
People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the
crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he saw two boats
there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were
washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to
Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat
down and taught the crowds from the boat. When he had finished
speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your
nets for a catch." Simon answered, "Master, we have worked all night long
7 Continued on Next Pg.but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets." When
they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning
to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help
them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. But
when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Go away
from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!" For he and all who were with him
were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken; and so also were
James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then
Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching
people." When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything
and followed him.
Celebrant: The Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise to you, Lord Christ.
Please be seated.
SERMON The Rev. Stephen Fregeau

THE NICENE CREED BCP p. 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;
8he 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 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.
Please be seated.

12The people stand or kneel.
Celebrant: 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
Jesus 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 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 all for the forgiveness of sins.
Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of
me.”
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:
Celebrant and People:
Christ has died.

this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his

new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may

honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for
ever. Amen.
