Order of Service
Eighth Sunday After Pentecost
Welcome
Our service follows a liturgical tradition handed down to us since the time of the Apostles. Please follow
along, and participate by reading the portions in bold. Some people choose to follow the ancient Jewish
tradition (see Ezekiel 7) of making a “cross” sign at certain portions of the liturgy. Those wishing to do so,
may, at portions marked with a (+) sign.
Portions of our liturgy taken from the 2014 Book of Common Prayer for the Anglican Church in North
America (ACNA). This includes prayers, confessions, and creeds from the past 2000 years of church
history! For more information, visit: http://www.anglicanchurch.net/?/main/texts_for_common_prayer.
As Anglicans who observe the Church Calendar, we now enter in to the Season of
Pentecost, lasting from now until later November. During this season, we reflect
upon gift of the Holy Spirit, given to the church on the Day of Pentecost, as recorded
in Acts 2. We believe that the miraculous work begun that day has continued through
to the present day, and the Pentecost Season reminds us of the intersection between
our story, and that of the early church.
Ministry of The Word of God
Our service is divided in to two sections: the
Ministry of the Word of God, and the Ministry of
the Holy Communion. The first section primarily
focuses on the scriptures, in light of all Jesus Christ
has accomplished for us, as they are prayed,
confessed, and explained.
Opening Song
A Tale of
Celebrant:
Blessed be God, The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit (+).
And blessed be His Kingdom, now and forever, Amen.
The Collect for Purity
Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no
secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your
Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy
Name; through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
The people may now be seated
The Collect of the Day
The Celebrant says to the people
People
Celebrant
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
Let us pray.
O Lord, mercifully receive the prayers of your people who call upon you, and grant that
they may know and understand what things they ought to do, and also may have grace
and power faithfully to accomplish them; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. (+)
People Amen.
“Collect” refers to a form of
prayer, used in liturgies since
the third century, that
Christians use when they
“collect” together for worship.
These traditional words are
used to invite the Lord to be
present with us during this
time of worship, and they
serve as an exhortation that
whoever leads will be led by
the Holy Spirit.
Prayers of the People
Father, we pray for your holy catholic* church;
That we all may be one.
Grant that every member of the church may truly and humbly serve you;
That your Name may be glorified by all people.
We pray for all bishops, priests, and deacons; especially Archbishop Foley Beach,
and Bishop Todd Hunter;
That they may be faithful ministers of your Word and Sacraments.
Hear us, Lord, as we lift up to you the following ministries and churches;
That they may faithfully serve you in unity and peace:
(Pause for name of ministries and churches)
We pray for all who govern and hold authority in the nations of the world;
especially for President Barack Obama, Governor Jerry Brown, and Mayor Carol
Garcia;
That there may be justice and peace on the earth.
Give us grace to do your will in all that we undertake;
That our works may find favor in your sight.
Have compassion on those who suffer from any grief or trouble;
That they may be delivered from their distress.
Give to the departed eternal rest;
Let light perpetual shine upon them.
We praise you for your saints who have entered into joy;
May we also come to share in your heavenly kingdom.
Let us pray for those in need.
(Pause to mention names)
Lord, in your mercy Hear our prayer.
The Celebrant concludes with the following prayer
Heavenly Father, grant these our prayers for Jesus Christ’s sake, our only Mediator
and Advocate, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, (+)
now and forever. Amen.
And now, a collective prayer as we reflect upon Orlando, Dallas, Minneapolis and
Baton Rouge:
Heavenly Father, in your Word you have given us a vision of that holy City to
which the nations of the world bring their glory: Behold and visit, we pray,
the cities of of the world and our nation. Renew the ties of mutual regard
which form our civic life. Send us honest and able leaders. Enable us to
eliminate poverty, prejudice, and oppression, that peace may prevail with
righteousness, and justice with order, and that men and women from
different cultures and with differing talents may find with one another the
fulfillment of their humanity; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Confession of Sin
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 with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will,
and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your Name. Amen.
(Silent Confession)
Absolution
Priest here reads the comfortable words, then says:
Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us all our sins through our Lord Jesus
Christ, strengthen us in all (+) goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep
us in eternal life. Amen.
Absolution means “to grant
forgiveness”. The words the
priest shares here are Christ’s
words of forgiveness to His
children.
Sign of Peace
Celebrant: May the Peace of the Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
(Please greet one another during this time. Children may be dismissed for a children’s lesson
next door)
The Lessons
“Charity”
-Kenn Gulliksen, 1971, CCLI Song # 114971
Chorus
If I have not charity If love does not flow from me
I am nothing Jesus reduce me to love
Verse 1
Although I speak with tongues Of men and angels
And though I prophesy And understand all
Although I have all faith So mountains may be removed
Although I feed the poor And give up my life
Verse 2
Love is patient and kind Love is not envious
Not proud but gentle and meek Seeks not its own way
Love sings when Jesus prevails Believes and endures all things
Love hopes and bears every wrong And love never fails
Verse 3
One season I was a child I spoke and thought as a child
But when I turned to a man Such ways put aside
Though now we see through a glass Yet then we shall see face to face
Though now abide faith and hope The greatest is love
Scripture Reading
Luke 10:25-37
25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall
I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How
do you read it?” 27 And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all
your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind,
and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered
correctly; do this, and you will live.”
29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell
among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half
dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him
he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place
and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came
to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and
bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal
and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out
two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and
whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36 Which of these
three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the
robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him,
“You go, and do likewise.”
Lector: The Word of our Lord.
People:
Thanks be to God.

Special Song
Put Your Hand In The Hand
-Gene MacLellan, 1971. Recorded by Anne Murray, Ocean, Randy Stonehill, and others.
Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from-a Gallilee.
Ev'ry time I look into the Holy Book I want to tremble (tremble)
When I read about the part where the carpenter cleared the temple
(temple)
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellas
Than what I profess to be
And it causes me shame to know we're not the people we should be.
My mama taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
She said, "There'll come a time when there'll probably be room in heaven"
But I'm feeling kinda of guilty 'bout the number of times
To do what we must do
Oh we forget what he said when we figured that he'd still make room
Creedal Confession
Nicene Creed
(4th Century)
This creed, drafted at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, responded to the heretical teachings of Arius, who
preached Jesus as a non-eternal, created being. At the Council of Constantinople in 381 AD, this creed
underwent further modification, in order to better communicate a Biblical understanding of the Trinity.
Together with the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed has helped establish the boundaries that define
“Christian” and unify followers of Christ for almost 2000 years.
Followers of Christ, what do you believe?
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all
things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father
before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not
made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
Who, for us and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the
Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us
under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again,
according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of
the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead;
whose kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from
the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and
glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
And we believe one holy catholic* and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one
baptism for the remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead (+),
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
*Catholic refers to the
universal church
Ministry of The Holy Communion
The second section of our service, The Ministry of The Holy Communion,
focuses on the sacrifices and praise that we, and all the saints throughout history,
have given to God in response to all He has done for us through His Son, Jesus
Christ. Many of these words have been sung or recited by Christ followers around the world for
over 1800 years!
Offering Ourselves and Our Gifts
Christ followers support the church’s mission and ministry through offering a sacrificial portion of our
resources–time, talents, possessions–as an act of faith and gratitude in response to God’s grace. This
pattern presents itself to us throughout the scriptures. (See, for example, Deuteronomy 26; Proverbs 3:
8,9; Malachi 3:10) Many at Incarnation make their regular contributions online via our website, as well
as during our worship services.
Offertory Prayer
Through Christ may we continually offer to God the sacrifice of praise,
that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his Name. May we not neglect
to do good and to share what we have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to
God. (-Based on Hebrews 13:15, 16)
Offering Song
“The Anchor Holds”
-Lawrence Chewning, 1992
Recorded by Ray Boltz, The Gaithers, and others
I have journeyed Through the long, dark night
Out on the open sea By faith alone Sight unknown
And yet His eyes were watching me
CHORUS:
The anchor holds Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds In spite of the storm
Ive had visions Ive had dreams Ive even held them in my hand
But I never knew Those dreams could slip right through
Like they were only grains of sand
I have been young But I am older now
And there has been beauty That these eyes have seen
But it was in the night Through the storms of my life
Oh, thats where God proved His love to me
The Great Thanksgiving
Celebrant The Lord be with you.
People
And with your spirit.
Celebrant
Lift up your hearts.
People
We lift them to the Lord.
Celebrant
Let us give thanks to the Lord
People
It is just and right so to do.
Then, facing the Holy Table, the Celebrant proceeds
our God.
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; according to whose most true promise, the Holy
Spirit came down from heaven, lighting upon the disciples, to teach them, and to lead
them into all truth; giving them boldness and fervent zeal constantly to preach the
Gospel to all nations; by which we have been brought out of darkness and error into
the clear light and true knowledge of you, and of your Son Jesus Christ.
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:
Closing Offertory Prayer
All things come of thee, Oh Lord, and of Thine
own have we given Thee.
(-I Chronicles 29:14)

Celebrant: Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord (+)
Then the Celebrant continues
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.
At the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it, or lay a hand upon it; and at the words
concerning the cup, to hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing wine to be consecrated.
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 many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink
it, do this for the remembrance of me.”
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:

Epiclesis
We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise
and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these
gifts.
Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your
Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also (+)
that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy,
and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal
kingdom.
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.
AMEN.
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
People and Celebrant
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.
The Breaking of the Bread
The Celebrant breaks the consecrated Bread. A period of silence is kept.
Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;
Therefore let us keep the feast.
The Prayer of Humble Access
We do not presume to come to this your table, merciful Lord, trusting in our
own righteousness, but in your abundant and great mercies.
We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under your table.
But you are the same Lord, who always delights in showing mercy.
Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of your dear Son Jesus
Christ and to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his
body, and our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we
may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.
Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed
are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.
John 1:29, Revelation 19:9
Instructions for the Eucharist:
The Eucharist (meaning thanksgiving) is open to all who would consider themselves baptized Christians, regardless
of tradition or background. As you come forward, you may take a piece of bread, eat it, and then drink from the
common cup, or you may dip it in the wine chalice, and then eat it. There is a chalice on the table filled with
grape juice for those unable to partake of the wine.
You don’t have to know all the answers, nor do you need “perfect” faith. God has faithfully met people throughout
the ages by way of these words and elements. Whatever struggles or doubts you may have, He will faithfully meet
you through these means of grace.
If you find yourself unsure of your standing with God, there are prayers on the last page of this worship folder
that can help you. Please take advantage of this time to consider all God has done for you through Jesus Christ.
If you or your children would like to come forward to witness the table, but not partake, you are welcome to do so.
Just cross your arms, and the pastor will pray a blessing over you.
The ministers receive the Sacrament in both kinds, and then immediately deliver it to the people with these words:
The Body of Christ, the bread of heaven. Amen.
The Blood of Christ, the cup of salvation. Amen. (+)
Communion Song:
After Communion, the Celebrant says
Let us pray.
Celebrant and People
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.
(The Gloria Patri contains the oldest known words, outside of scripture, that followers of Christ have
sung or recited, for over 1900 years. Traditionally, when the Trinitarian Formula (Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost) is use, worshippers either bow their heads or make the sign of the cross.)

Prayers of Meditation for those Not Communing
If you are not able to receive Communion, please use this time to meditate on one of the following
prayers. If you are not communing and would like to receive a blessing please come up and cross your
arms when the pastor comes to you.
Prayer for Those Searching for Truth
Lord Jesus, you claim to be the way, the truth, and the life. Grant that I might be undaunted by the cost
of following you as I consider the reasons for doing so. If what you claim is true, please guide me,
teach me, and open to me the reality of who you are. Give me an understanding of you that is coherent,
convincing, and that leads to the life that you promise.
Amen.
Prayer of Belief
Lord Jesus, I admit that I am weaker and more sinful than I ever before believed, but through you I am
more loved and accepted than I ever dared hope. I thank you for paying my debt, bearing my
punishment on the cross, and offering forgiveness and new life. Knowing that you have been raised
from the dead, I turn from my sins and receive you as Savior and Lord. Amen.
Prayer of Commitment
Lord Jesus, you have called us to follow you in baptism and in a life of committed discipleship in your
church. Grant that I may take the necessary steps to be one with your people, and live in the fullness of
your Spirit. Amen.
If you have any questions about your Faith, need to talk or pray with someone,
please contact Pastor Josh.
