Holy Eucharist Rite II
The First Sunday after the Epiphany January 10, 2021 10 a.m. Holy Eucharist Rite II
Welcome to Calvary

                         Whoever you are, wherever you come from, whatever joys
                         or burdens you carry, you are welcome at Calvary Episcopal
                         Church. And we are honored that you’ve chosen to say your
                         prayers with us.
                         Calvary is an eclectic bunch of Christian people. We don’t
                         all think the same thoughts, or dress the same way, or vote
                         for the same candidates, or even believe all the same things
                         about the mystery of God and what it means to be human.
                         But, with St. Paul, we believe we need each other because
                         of our differences, not in spite of them. God calls us out of
                         estrangement into unity, not uniformity. A body made up of
                         identical members can’t do much work in the world. Thumbs
                         are so much more useful with fingers to push against, are
                         they not?
                         So, I invite you to join in the life of this congregation with all
                         that you are, in all your splendid uniqueness, maybe just for
                         today, but maybe for the rest of your days. We are a fuller
                         expression of Christ’s body because of your presence. And
                         has our world ever been more needful of Christ’s reconciling,
                         loving, and merciful body than now?

                         The Rev. Scott Walters
                         Rector

I invite you to join in the life of this congregation with all
that you are, in all your splendid uniqueness, maybe just
for today, but maybe for the rest of your days.

THE WORD OF GOD
                           Please help us create an atmosphere of quiet reverence before worship.
                   Let go of distractions and let the silence and music be gifts as we create sacred space.

PRELUDE: Christ, unser Herr, zum Jordan kam, BWV 685                                                                                                                                    J. S. Bach

THE FIRST LESSON                                                                             Genesis 1:1-5
    In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and
    darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.
    Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and
    God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called
    Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

People Thanks be to God.

THE SECOND LESSON                                                                                            Acts 19:1-7
   While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul passed through the interior regions and came to Ephesus,
   where he found some disciples. He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became
   believers?” They replied, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” Then he said, “Into
   what then were you baptized?” They answered, “Into John’s baptism.” Paul said, “John baptized with
   the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that
   is, in Jesus.” On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul had laid
   his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied—
   altogether there were about twelve of them.

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.
People		 Glory to you, Lord Christ.

THE GOSPEL                                                                                       Mark 1:4-11
    John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the
    forgiveness of sins. And people from the whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem
    were going out to him, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Now John
    was clothed with camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild
    honey. He proclaimed, “The one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to
    stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you
    with the Holy Spirit.”

    In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And just
    as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like
    a dove on him. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well
    pleased.”

    		     The Gospel of the Lord.
People		   Praise to you, Lord Christ.

    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
      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.

Celebrant   Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.
People 		   Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and
            deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you

OFFERTORY ANTHEM: Zion, at thy shining gates                                               arr. George Guest
   Zion, at thy shining gates, lo, the King of Glory waits! Haste thy Monarch’s pomp to greet, strew thy
   palms before his feet. Christ, for thee their triple light: faith and hope and love unite; this the beacon
   we display to proclaim thine advent day. Come, and give us peace within; loose us from the bands of
   sin. Take away the galling weight laid on us by Satan’s hate. Give us grace thy yoke to wear, give us
   strength thy cross to bear. Make us thine in deed and word, thine in heart and life, O Lord. So, when
   thou shalt come again, judge of angels and of men, we with all thy saints shall sing alleluias to our
   King. (B. H. Kennedy, 1804-1889)

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING
                             Eucharistic Prayer B, The Book of Common Prayer p. 367

Celebrant   The Lord be with you.
People		    And also with you.
Celebrant   Lift up your hearts.
People		    We lift them to the Lord.
Celebrant   Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People		    It is right to give God thanks and praise.

The Celebrant continues
    It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty,
    Creator of heaven and earth.

The Celebrant says a Proper Preface
    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:

Celebrant and People
    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.

The Celebrant continues
    We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in
    creation; 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:

People		    We remember his death,
			         We proclaim his resurrection,
			         We await his coming in glory;

The Celebrant continues
    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

8
all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with 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, Almighty
   Father, now and for ever.

Celebrant and People
   AMEN.

Celebrant   And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

THE LORD’S PRAYER                                                                                BCP p. 364
   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.

   Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son
   our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of his Body and
   Blood. Send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve
   you with gladness and singleness of heart; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

WOR SHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Sunday Holy Eucharist
Holy Eucharist is offered at Calvary each Sunday at 10 a.m. Join us online on our Facebook page,
YouTube channel, or on our website: calvarymemphis.org/livestream.

Early Morning Prayer
Early morning prayer is offered live on Calvary’s Facebook page each day at 6:30 a.m. This prayer service
is modeled on Daily Devotions (p. 137 in the Book of Common Prayer) and lasts about 10-15 minutes. All
early risers (by preference or necessity!) are invited to come pray together.

Morning Prayer
The Calvary clergy lead weekday Morning Prayer, which is live-streamed on Calvary’s Facebook page
Mondays through Fridays at 8 a.m.

Wednesday Noonday Eucharist
Holy Eucharist is offered in-person in the Calvary chancel on Wednesdays and features a reflection by one
of our priests. The church doors open at 11:45 and close at noon. It is not necessary to make a reservation.
Worshippers will be seated 6+ feet apart. Please wear a mask.

Compline
The Calvary staff lead weekday Compline, a simple service of evening prayers which is live-streamed on
Calvary’s Facebook page Mondays through Fridays at 8 p.m. The ancient office of Compline derives its
name from a Latin word meaning ‘completion’ (completorium). It is above all a service of quietness and
reflection before rest at the end of the day.

Evensong
“Choral Evensong is a 45-min long peace-inducing church service in which the ‘song’ of voices sounding
together in harmony is heard at the ‘even’ point between the active day and restful night, allowing listeners
time for restful contemplation–church members, agnostics and atheists alike.” (from choralevensong.org)

You can join us at 5 p.m. on the first Sunday of the month for this traditional Anglican choral liturgy on
Calvary’s FaceBook and YouTube pages or on our website: calvarymemphis.org/livestream.
