TRINITY CHURCH
Broadway at Wall Street
New York City
God of the covenant,
even when we fall into sin,
your Spirit invites us to remember
that you chose us to be your servant people.
Awaken us to the power and gifts
you pour into us for the good of creation,
and grant that we may be trustworthy in all things,
producing abundantly as we work to build your realm. Amen.

Mission
In the spirit of the Gospels, the mission of Trinity Church Wall Street is to build generations of faithful leadership,
to build up neighborhoods, and to build financial capacity for holy service in New York City and around
the world. Our mission is grounded in our core values.
Vision
We seek to serve and heal the world by building neighborhoods that live gospel truths, generations of
faithful leaders, and sustainable communities.
Core Values
Faith Compassion
“For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a “When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he

Integrity “He has showed you what is good; and what the Lord
“Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is requires of you: to do justice, and to love kindness
honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, and to walk humbly with your God.”
whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is —Micah 6:8
Stewardship

“There will come seven years of great plenty
Inclusiveness throughout all the land of Egypt. After them there

you are all one in Christ Jesus.” —Galatians 3:28 will consume the world.” —Genesis 41:29-30
Core Values guide us in carrying out our mission and realizing our vision.
By their nature, core values are touchstones for prayer, discernment, ongoing conversation, and action. We seek
a deep understanding and ongoing engagement with Trinity’s Core Values. Over the years, we will continue
reflecting on what our Core Values mean in their application; how they challenge and inform decisions and actions
in Trinity’s ministries, and how they help our ministries be aligned with our mission and vision.

About this Service
The Season after Pentecost
Our current liturgical season, the Season after Pentecost, is by far the longest of the Episcopal church
year. It begins the day after Pentecost and ends the day before the First Sunday of Advent. Since the date
of Easter changes every year—and the Day of Pentecost is always 50 days after Easter—the length of the
season varies as well, ranging from 24-29 weeks in length. This season is sometimes called Ordinary Time,
a phrase borrowed from the Roman Catholic Church.
A common practice among Episcopal churches is to change the appropriate liturgical elements at the
start of each new season. Often these changes are directed by the Book of Common Prayer, such as the
acclamations named for use in the Lenten and Easter seasons. However, liturgical leaders also decide which
Prayers of the People, Eucharistic Prayer, blessing, and dismissal are used in services.

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

6The Liturgy of the Word
The First Reading Judges 4:1–7 Read by Jack Smith IV
Reader A Reading from the Book of Judges.
The Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, after Ehud died. So the Lord
sold them into the hand of King Jabin of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the commander of
his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-ha-goiim. Then the Israelites cried out to the
Lord for help; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and had oppressed the Israelites
cruelly twenty years.
At that time Deborah, a prophetess, wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel. She used to sit
under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and
the Israelites came up to her for judgment. She sent and summoned Barak son of Abinoam
from Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, “The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you,
‘Go, take position at Mount Tabor, bringing ten thousand from the tribe of Naphtali and the
tribe of Zebulun. I will draw out Sisera, the general of Jabin’s army, to meet you by the Wadi
Kishon with his chariots and his troops; and I will give him into your hand.’ ”
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.
People Thanks be to God.

CHANT
All To you I lift | up my | eyes, *
to you en-|thröned | in the | heavens.
As the eyes of servants look to the | hand of their | masters, *
and the eyes of a maid to the | händ | of her | mistress,
So our eyes look to the | Lord our | God, *
until he | shöws | us his | mercy.
Have mercy upon us, O | Lord, have | mercy, *
for we have had more than e-|nöugh | of con-|tempt,

and of the de-|ri-sion | of the | proud.
† Second half
Music: Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1810-1876)
7The Second Reading 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11 Read by Deborah Hope
Reader A Reading from the First Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians.
Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers and sisters, you do not need to have
anything written to you. For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will
come like a thief in the night. When they say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden
destruction will come upon them, as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and there
will be no escape! But you, beloved, are not in darkness, for that day to surprise you like a
thief; for you are all children of light and children of the day; we are not of the night or of
darkness. So then let us not fall asleep as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober;
for those who sleep sleep at night, and those who are drunk get drunk at night. But since we
belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet
the hope of salvation. For God has destined us not for wrath but for obtaining salvation
through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we
may live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you
are doing.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.
People Thanks be to God.

9The Holy Gospel Matthew 25:14–30
Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew.
People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Deacon Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven will be as when a man, going on a journey, summoned
his slaves and entrusted his property to them; to one he gave five talents, to another two, to
another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. The one who had received
the five talents went off at once and traded with them, and made five more talents. In the
same way, the one who had the two talents made two more talents. But the one who had
received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. Then
the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying,
‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.’ His master
said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few
things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ And the one
with the two talents also came forward, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents;
see, I have made two more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy
slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things;
enter into the joy of your master.’ Then the one who had received the one talent also came
forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow,
and gathering where you did not scatter seed; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent
in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ But his master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy
slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter?
Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would
have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him, and give it to the
one with the ten talents. For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an
abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.
As for this worthless slave, throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.’ ”
The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The Offertory
Tristitia et anxietas William Byrd (1539/40-1623)
Tristitia et anxietas occupaverunt interiora mea. Sadness and anxiety have overtaken my inmost being.
Mœstum factum est cor meum in dolore, My heart is made sorrowful in mourning,
et contenebrati sunt oculi mei. my eyes are become dim.
Væ mihi, quia peccavi. Woe is me, for I have sinned.
—Cantiones Sacrae, 1589

Let my prayer be set forth in thy sight as incense.
—Psalm 141:2
15The Great Thanksgiving EOW p. 57/BCP p. 361/p. 377
Celebrant It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father
Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, through Jesus Christ our Lord; who on the first day
of the week overcame death and the grave, and by his glorious resurrection opened to us the
way of everlasting life.
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:
Holy, Holy, Holy Hymnal S 125
Music: from A Community Mass; Richard Proulx (1937-2010)
16Please continue standing or kneel as you are able.
Celebrant Blessed are you, gracious God, creator of the universe and giver of life. You formed us in your
own image and called us to dwell in your infinite love. You gave the world into our care that
we might be your faithful stewards and show forth your bountiful grace.
But we failed to honor your image in one another and in ourselves; we would not see your
goodness in the world around us; and so we violated your creation, abused one another, and
rejected your love. Yet you never ceased to care for us, and prepared the way of salvation for
all people.
Through Abraham and Sarah you called us into covenant with you. You delivered us from
slavery, sustained us in the wilderness, and raised up prophets to renew your promise of
salvation. Then, in the fullness of time, you sent your eternal Word, made mortal flesh in Jesus.
Born into the human family, and dwelling among us, he revealed your glory. Giving himself
freely to death on the cross, he triumphed over evil, opening the way of freedom and life.
On the night before he died for us, Our Savior Jesus Christ took bread, and when he had given
thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his friends, and said: “Take, eat: This is my Body
which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”
As supper was ending, Jesus 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
poured out 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:
All Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.
Celebrant Remembering his death and resurrection, we now present to you from your creation this
bread and this wine. By your Holy Spirit may they be for us the Body and Blood of our Savior
Jesus Christ. Grant that we who share these gifts may be filled with the Holy Spirit and live as
Christ’s Body in the world. Bring us into the everlasting heritage of your daughters and sons,
that with all your saints, past, present, and yet to come, we may praise your Name for ever.
All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ. 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.
All AMEN.
17The Lord’s Prayer BCP p. 364
Celebrant As our Savior Christ has taught us, we now pray,
All 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 for ever. Amen.
The Fraction

Invitation BCP p. 364
Celebrant The Gifts of God for the People of God.
Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you,
and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.
18A Prayer for Spiritual Communion SAPB p. 145, adapted
In the Episcopal tradition, we believe that when circumstances make it impossible to consume the Eucharistic elements,
our desire is enough for God to grant all the benefits of communion.
Leader I invite all those who are unable to receive the consecrated bread and wine this day, but who
long for the grace and blessing of God through our Savior Jesus Christ, to join me in this
Prayer for Spiritual Communion:
People In union, Blessed Jesus,
with your faithful people
at every altar of your Church
where the Holy Eucharist is now being celebrated,
I offer my praise and thanksgiving.
Since I cannot receive you today
in the Sacrament of your Body and Blood,
I ask you to come spiritually into my heart.
Cleanse and strengthen me with your grace, Lord Jesus,
and let me never be separated from you.
May I live in you, and you in me,
in this life and in the life to come. Amen.
Please be seated.
Communion Anthem
Sed tu, Domine William Byrd (1539/40-1623)
Sed tu, Domine, qui non derelinquis sperantes in te,
consolare et adjuva me propter nomen sanctum tuum, et miserere mei.
But thou, O Lord, who dost not forsake those whose hope is in thee,
comfort and help me for thy holy name’s sake, and have mercy on me.
—Cantiones Sacrae, 1589
19Concluding Rite
Post-Communion Prayer EOW p. 70
Please stand as you are able.
Celebrant Let us pray.
All Loving God,
we give you thanks
for restoring us in your image
and nourishing us with spiritual food
in the Sacrament of Christ’s Body and Blood.
Now send us forth
a people, forgiven, healed, renewed;
that we may proclaim your love to the world
and continue in the risen life of Christ our Savior. Amen.
The Blessing CW:TS p. 631, adapted
Celebrant May God, who spoke the world into being, give you grace to be wise stewards of creation;
may the Son, who redeemed the world, inspire you to go out as laborers into the harvest;
and may the Holy Spirit, whose breath fills the whole of creation, help you to bear fruits
of love, joy, and peace. And the blessing of God—creating, redeeming, and sustaining—
be among you and remain with you always.
All Amen.
