Sermon The Rev. Melanie Calabrigo

Silence for Reflection

The Nicene Creed

Presider Let us confess our faith, as we say,

All 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.

With the Father and the Son

he is worshipped 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.

Offertory Hymn Truly, He Comes to Us (CP 204) O Quanta Qualia

Prayer over the Gifts

Presider Creator of all,

All you wash away our sins in water,

you give us new birth by the Spirit,

and redeem us in the blood of Christ.

As we celebrate the resurrection,

renew your gift of life within us.

We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ the risen Lord.

Amen.

The Great Thanksgiving

Presider The Lord be with you.

All And also with you.

Presider Lift up your hearts.

All We lift them to the Lord.

Presider Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

All It is right to give our thanks and praise.

Presider Eternal God, Source of all being, we give you thanks and praise for your faithful love.

You call us into friendship with you and one another to be your holy people, a sign of your presence in the world.

When those we trust betray us, unfailingly you remain with us.

When we injure others, you confront us in your love and call us to the paths of righteousness. You stand with the weak, and those, broken and alone, whom you have always welcomed home, making the first last, and the last first.

Therefore we raise our voices with angels and archangels,

forever praising you and singing:

Sanctus Communion Service in F Herbert Sumsion

Presider Blessed are you, O Holy One: when Hagar was driven into the wilderness you followed her and gave her hope.

When Joseph was sold into bondage, you turned malice to your people’s good.

When you called Israel out of slavery, you brought them through the wilderness into the promised land. When your people were taken into exile you wept with them by the river of Babylon and carried them home.

All Restore us, O God, let your face shine!

Presider At the right time you sent your Anointed One to stand with the poor, the outcast, and the oppressed.

Jesus touched lepers, and the sick, and healed them.He accepted water from a woman of Samaria and offered her the water of new life. Christ knew the desolation of the cross and opened the way for all humanity into the redemption of your reconciling love.

On the night he was betrayed, Jesus, at supper with his Friends, took bread, gave you thanks, broke the bread,

gave it to them, and said,

“Take and 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.”

Loving and Holy One, recalling Christ’s death and resurrection, we offer you these gifts, longing for the bread of tomorrow and the wine of the age to come. Therefore we proclaim our hope.

All Dying you destroyed our death, rising you restored our life. Lord Jesus, come in glory.

Presider Pour out your Spirit on these gifts that through them you may sustain us in our hunger for your peace.

We hold before you all whose lives are marked by suffering, our sisters and brothers. When we are broken and cast aside, embrace us in your love.

All Restore us, O God, let your face shine!

Presider Through Christ, with Christ, and in Christ in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honour and glory are yours, O Source of all life, now and forever.

All Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer Sung

Share the Gifts

If you know the brokenness of life, its fractures within and its division without, then you have participated in the broken body of Christ and you are invited to share in Communion.

If you are not physically receiving Communion, then offer this prayer:

In union, O God, with all your faithful people

gathered wherever the eucharist is celebrated this day,

I offer you praise and thanksgiving for creation and all the blessings of this life,

for the redemption given to us through the life, death and resurrection of Christ,

and for the means of grace and the hope of glory.

I pray you come into my heart, my soul and my mind.

Let nothing separate me from you.

May I serve you in this life until, by your grace,

I come to your promised reign of justice and peace;

through Christ and in the unity of the Spirit. Amen.
