A large print version of this bulletin is available from the ushers.
Welcome to St. Mary’s! If you would like more information about the Episcopal Church, or about St. Mary’s church in particular, please sign the guest book to receive mailed information and an invitation to have coffee with our priest, LeeAnne Watkins.
All children are welcome in church. They are also welcome to pick up a clipboard and crayons, a book, or a stuffed animal to sit with them during the service. These can be found just outside the sanctuary near the guest book.
All people are welcome to receive the bread and wine at Holy Communion (Eucharist). After approaching the altar, you may stand or kneel. Place one hand on top of the other to receive the bread. Please help guide the cup when receiving the wine or, if you prefer, dip your bread into the wine. If you do not wish to share in the bread and wine, you are invited to come forward and cross your hands over your chest to receive a blessing. Everyone at the altar will be acknowledged.
We hope you feel welcome during your time with us today! If you are poking around for a good ‘fit’ church-wise, perhaps this is the place for you! If not, we’re still glad you stopped by. If you want to check out other Episcopal churches in St. Paul, each has their own ‘feel,’ in terms of worship style and community. You can find out more at: www.episcopalmn.org.
Many blessings on your quest!

August 18: Next Toxic Charity Discussion
The third and final discussion meeting on Toxic Charity will be on August 18th after the 9:00 AM service. The second group discussion on the book took place last week after the
10:30 service. George and Anne Green led a discussion on Feed My Starving Children, a charity in which St. Mary’s participates. Although this charity does not necessarily fit the whole the profile of a non-toxic charity, it fits one very necessary part.
Several folks spoke on the school/church mission in Bigonet, Haiti, and distributed a flyer called “Dignity and Disaster”
I hope you take this last opportunity to read and discuss this important book. Copies are on sale today here at the church. Pick up a book and read it, or just come to the meeting...Questions ? Contact Cathy McNaughton at [email protected] or 651-647-1609.

The Holy Eucharist
A note from our rector, the Rev. LeeAnne Watkins:
Our preacher today is Amber Carswell. Amber has one year left to go in her seminary studies before being made a priest in the Episcopal Church, and she is in town for the summer doing a rotation of hospital chaplaincy.
I have asked her to preach because she was telling me the story of her introduction to the Episcopal Church and I so wanted to share that story with all of you. Her first experience was as a young adult dropping into a straight-up Rite II service in a sleepy little 8 o’clock service in a small church in Arkansas, and it completely changed her life.
I think her experience furthers our conversations around honoring the richness of our inherited tradition, and shatters any stereotypes we might have about age-related church worship style or time-of-service preferences.
Please help me welcome her today!
Prelude Prelude & Fugue in C attrib. J.S. Bach

Collect of the Day
Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray.
Grant to us, Lord, we pray, the spirit to think and do always those things that are right, that we, who cannot exist without you, may by you be enabled to live according to your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
The First Reading Genesis 15:1-6
The people may be seated.
The word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, “Do not be afraid,
Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.”
But Abram said, “O Lord GOD, what will you give me, for I continue
childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”
And Abram said, “You have given me no offspring, and so a slave born
in my house is to be my heir.”
But the word of the LORD came to him, “This man shall not be
your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be your heir.” He
brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven and count the
6
stars, if you are able to count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall
your descendants be.”
And he believed the LORD; and the LORD reckoned it to him as
righteousness.
Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. People Thanks be to God.
The Psalm Psalm 33:12-15,18-22
At the 7:45 service the psalm is said by the people. At the 10:30 service the cantor sings the even-numbered verses and all sing the odd.
The backslashes in the text correspond to the accented notes in the tone. When you see the backslash it means the pitch changes on the next syllable. Listen and join as you find the pattern.
12 Happy is the nation whose God is / the LORD! * happy the people he has chosen / to be his own!
13 The LORD looks down / from heaven, * and beholds all the peo- / ple in the world.
14 From where he sits enthroned he turns / his gaze * on all who / dwell on the earth.
15 He fashions all the hearts / of them * and under- / stands all their works.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those / who fear him, *
on those who wait / upon his love,
19 To pluck their lives / from death, * and to feed them / in time of famine.
20 Our soul waits for / the LORD; *
he is our / help and our shield.
21 Indeed, our heart rejoices / in him, * for in his holy Name / we put our trust.
22 Let your loving-kindness, O LORD, be / upon us, *
as we have put / our trust in you.

The Second Reading Hebrews 11: 8-12
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to set out for a place that
he was to receive as an inheritance; and he set out, not knowing where
he was going. By faith he stayed for a time in the land he had been
promised, as in a foreign land, living in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob,
who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he looked forward to
the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. By
faith he received power of procreation, even though he was too old—
and Sarah herself was barren—because he considered him faithful who
had promised. Therefore from one person, and this one as good as
dead, descendants were born, “as many as the stars of heaven and as
the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.”
Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. People Thanks be to God.
Alleluia Celtic Allelulia
Please stand, as you are able. During the singing of the Alleluia, the deacon carries the Gospel Book to the midst of the congregation. It is customary to turn and face the reader during the reading of the Gospel.
Music: Celtic Alleluia, Fintan O’Carroll & Christopher Walker, admin. OCP Publications.
The Gospel Luke 12:13-21
Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Jesus said to his disciples, “Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your
Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions,
and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an
8
unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth
destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
“Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are
waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that
they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks.
Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes;
truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat,
and he will come and serve them. If he comes during the middle of the
night, or near dawn, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves. “But
know this: if the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief
was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also
must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.”
Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Intercessor Let us pray.
In joy and gratitude, and with tender hearts, we pray to you, Lord God.
We praise you for creating the earth, our planet home, with its beautiful depths, soaring heights, and mysterious waters; its vitality and abundance of life.
People Thank you for the harvest blessings of summer: for ripe tomatoes, butter
on sweet corn, and raspberries full with flavor.
Intercessor We pray that people of faith everywhere might live in harmony, together giving praise for the richness of all that is holy and beautiful.
People Teach us to live in peace.
Intercessor We pray for all those who work for justice and healing, particularly those who work for an end to war, racism, and poverty; and for those who risk much for the common good.
People Sustain us on the long road to a just world.
Intercessor We pray for those who are sick or lost, whose hearts ache, whose memories fail, or who are in any need or trouble.
People Sustain us as we serve those in need.

Intercessor We offer thanksgivings for all those who have lived on this earth, our ancestors and our friends, who dreamed the best for future generations, and upon whose lives our lives are built.
People Help us honor them, and teach their values to our children.
Intercessor We pray for the thanksgivings and concerns from our local community,
silently or aloud.
(people may offer their own intercessions and thanksgivings)
Intercessor And that we might recall your love for us and for all creation, and the
constant promise of beginning anew, we offer you now our confession:
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 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.

13
Celebrant Holy and gracious God: 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 Creator of all.
People He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.
Celebrant 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.”
People Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:
Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
Celebrant We celebrate the memorial of our redemption 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.
14
People 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.
Celebrant 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, now and for ever. AMEN.
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
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
Celebrant The Gifts of God for the People of God. Holy Food for Holy People.

Margaret Thor will be joining us in September. Here’s a letter of greeting she sent us.
Hello to all! A quick note to introduce myself! I’m Margaret Thor and I am in formation to become a deacon in the Episcopal Church. As part of that process, I am required to participate in an internship at a parish other than my home parish. LeeAnne Watkins and Rex McKee graciously volunteered their services and that of St. Mary’s to guide me in this part of my formation.
I am a “cradle Episcopalian,” having been baptized and confirmed in the Episcopal Church. I’m also an Air Force “brat”; and I went to many different Episcopal churches around the country. I attended high school and college in northern California. I’m a UC Davis graduate with a degree in Psychology.
My husband Eric and I met in California, were married in an Episcopal church in the San Jose area, and moved to Minnesota in 1989 so that he could attend graduate school at the U of M. I work fulltime for the IRS and was able to transfer from the San Jose office to the St. Paul office. I manage a group of examiners in the Brooklyn Center office.
We joined Resurrection Episcopal Church in Spring Lake Park. When it closed in 2004, we joined St. John in the Wilderness in White Bear Lake. We live in Arden Hills. Caryn and
Peter, were both confirmed at St. John’s. Caryn graduated in December 2012 from UW and is currently traveling in Europe after working
seven months in DC. Peter is entering his second year at the “U” in the College of Science and Engineering. We also have an old basset hound named Stuart. He has attended many pet blessings but is still affectionately called our demon dog.
To save you from guessing, I’m 52. Eric and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in January.
I am very excited to be at St. Mary’s. My initial impressions indicate a warm and welcoming community willing to try new things. I’m anxious to learn more about the history and formation of the liturgy of the 9:00 service. I am also interested in all the missional opportunities you have here. It is a pleasure to be here now as part of your community.
I particularly enjoy working with youth and look forward to being part of the youth ministry at St. Mary’s. I hope to work on two TECs this fall. I will also be on the 2014 Mission Opportunity team, which will focus on resources for faith communities willing to reach out to school age youth in their neighborhoods. I’m a Lay Eucharistic Visitor, Lay Eucharistic Minister, lector and verger. I’ve also been a senior warden, treasurer and Christian Ed instructor. I volunteer two Friday mornings a month at Episcopal Homes. I look forward to getting to know you all during the next several months.
Meet our New Deacon-in-training!

Outreach Committee: Supporting Education Locally and Globally
Locally: School Tools drive continues
St. Mary’s will once again join with the St. Paul Area Council of Churches (SPACC) to support School Tools, a project to distribute school supplies to about 10 programs/agencies in our area. We will participate through donations of NEW school supplies for elementary, middle, and high school students. Our collection will run from today through August 25.
There is a special need for: backpacks 3-ring binders and Trapper Keepers calculators pocket dictionaries facial tissue (boxed or individual packs) spiral notebooks (wide-ruled)
Other needed supplies: notebooks (narrow-ruled) composition notebooks science calculators pencils pens erasable pens markers folders erasers highlighters rulers glue sticks and bottles loose-leaf paper (both narrow and wide) scissors crayons (large and regular size) poster boards watercolor paints
Itemized lists of these needed School Tools will be available near the drop-off box located
near the office, on the street level. Checks may be made to SPACC with “School Tools” on the memo line. Place your check in the offering plate and it will be credited to SPACC. Please help us give homeless and low-income children tools they need to flourish in school!
Globally: Bonne Nouvelle School St. Mary’s has joined with St. James on the Parkway and other groups to support the Bonne Nouvelle School in Bigonet, Haiti. St. James and that parish have been building a friendship and partnership for four years now.
Because education is not freely available for all students in Haiti, the community has decided to invest in making school affordable and available to local children. In January, St. Mary’s hosted an evening of dinner and conversation with four educators from Bonne Nouvelle. They shared the joys and challenges of educating more than 300 students from preschool through tenth grade, expanding the school for older students who have no other option for education, and supporting the school when various disasters have disrupted the livelihoods of many local parents.
For the second year, we at St. Mary’s have the opportunity to join their efforts to keep the teachers paid and the school available for all the community children. A small donation can go a long way: ten donations of $10 can educate a child in primary school for a whole year; ten donations of $20 will support a secondary student’s education for a year. Please join this remarkable partnership and offer your support to the students of Bonne Nouvelle. Please place your contributions in the box in the foyer.
“Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire.” William Butler Yeats

The discussion theme will be “Post Racial America?” How far are we from Martin Luther King’s dream of judging individuals by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin? This question and those suggested by participants are open for consideration at the Interfaith
Conversation Café. Join us at the Council of Churches building, 1571 Summit Avenue (Corner of Summit & Pierce). Treats and Beverages are provided.
