We welcome you to this sacred space. We invite you to take time to prepare yourself for worship – through
meditation, prayer and reflection – and begin to center yourself in God’s presence here.
If you are visiting with us today, Welcome! Here are a few notes for our visitors. BCP is the red Book of
Common Prayer. Hymns are found in the blue “1982 Hymnal” and in the green “Wonder, Love and Praise”
(WLP) supplemental hymnal. All music is for the 10:00 AM service. “S” hymns are liturgical music found
in the front “S” pages of blue Hymnal. Generally, bolded items signify congregational responses. Our
worship is divided into 2 sections: THE WORD OF GOD and HOLY COMMUNION.

Reading from God’s Word
A Lesson– Exodus 33: 12-23
” Moses says to God, ‘Show me your glory.’”
Moses said to the LORD, "See, you have said to me, `Bring up this people'; but you have not
let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, `I know you by name, and
you have also found favor in my sight.' Now if I have found favor in your sight, show me
your ways, so that I may know you and find favor in your sight. Consider too that this
nation is your people." He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."
And he said to him, "If your presence will not go, do not carry us up from here. For how
shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people, unless you go
with us? In this way, we shall be distinct, I and your people, from every people on the face
of the earth." The LORD said to Moses, "I will do the very thing that you have asked; for you
have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name." Moses said, "Show me your glory, I
pray." And he said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim before
you the name, `The LORD'; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show
mercy on whom I will show mercy. But," he said, "you cannot see my face; for no one shall
see me and live." And the LORD continued, "See, there is a place by me where you shall
stand on the rock; and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I
will cover you with my hand until I have passed by; then I will take away my hand, and you
shall see my back; but my face shall not be seen."
Lector: The Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

A Gospel Lesson – Matthew 22: 15-22 “Jesus responds to another attempt at entrapment”
Celebrant: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew.
People: Glory to you Lord Christ.
The Pharisees went and plotted to entrap Jesus in what he said. So they sent their disciples
to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and teach
the way of God in accordance with truth, and show deference to no one; for you do not
regard people with partiality. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to the
emperor or not?” But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why are you putting me to the test,
you hypocrites? Show me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. Then
he said to them, “Whose head is this, and whose title?” They answered, “The emperor’s.”
Then he said to them, “Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and
to God the things that are God’s.” When they heard this, they were amazed; and they left
him and went away.
Celebrant: The Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise to you Lord Christ.

Sharing the Holy Communion

All baptized persons, regardless of age or denomination, are invited to receive the Sacrament of the
Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord, at the altar—the Lord’s Table. If you are unable to come
forward, please have someone tell one of our Ushers, and the Sacrament will be brought to you. If
you do not wish to receive the Sacrament but are open to asking for God’s blessings, please come
forward as well. At the altar rail simply cross your hands over your chest and the Priest or
Eucharistic Minister will offer a prayer for you.
Prayer for all: Often at the 10:00 AM service, members of St. Andrew’s Prayer Team are back at the
chapel lifting up prayers for all gathered today, for those listed in today’s Prayers of the People ,
and for prayer requests coming in through our Prayer Net online prayer service. They welcome
any of your prayer requests too! They are available for you in the chapel before and after you
receive Communion. The chapel is located behind you and beside the choir.
