Welcome to Holy Trinity Episcopal Church!  This service of Holy Eucharist is found primarily in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. 

Unless otherwise noted, all hymns can be found in the blue hymnal located in your kneeler.  Your kneeler can be found underneath the seat in front of you, or underneath your seat (if you are in a front row).

Although there are customary postures (such as standing or kneeling) in Episcopal worship, you are invited to be seated at any time, according to your needs and comfort.  If you wish to receive communion while remaining seated, please notify an usher and we will accommodate your needs.

Thank you for worshiping with us today.  We are better because you chose to spend your time among us.   Please know that while childcare is normally provided during our 10:30am service, children of any age are always welcome in worship.  If you have any questions, please notify an usher, greeter, or a member of the clergy.  We would be more than happy to answer any questions or provide you with support.

Call to WorshipAs early as 400 AD, bells were rung to call people to worship. By the 17th century, the practice of “change ringing” had been codified (each bell must be rung in a certain order, beginning and ending with highest to lowest bell). The bells you hear today are a simplified version of this ancient practice. These bell tolls unite us with worshipers around the world and gather us together in reverence to worship, to pray, to sing, and to serve.

Prelude Dove of Peace David M. Cherwien

The Liturgy of the WordAt the sound of the second bell, the people stand, as they are able.

Collect of the Day Celebrant The Lord be with you.

People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray.

Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The people are seated for the reading of the first lesson.

Lesson Acts 2:1-21

When the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs-- in our own languages we hear them speaking about God's deeds of power." All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" But others sneered and said, "They are filled with new wine." But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, "Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o'clock in the morning. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: `In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord's great and glorious day. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' "

Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. People Thanks be to God.

The people remain seated and say the Psalm.

Psalm 104:25-35, 37

25 O Lord, how manifold are your works! *in wisdom you have made them all;

the earth is full of your creatures.26 Yonder is the great and wide sea

with its living things too many to number, *creatures both small and great.

27 There move the ships,and there is that Leviathan, *

which you have made for the sport of it.

28 All of them look to you *to give them their food in due season.

29 You give it to them; they gather it; *you open your hand, and they are filled with good things.

4

30 You hide your face, and they are terrified; *you take away their breath,

and they die and return to their dust.31 You send forth your Spirit, and they are created; *

and so you renew the face of the earth.32 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever; *

may the Lord rejoice in all his works.33 He looks at the earth and it trembles; *

he touches the mountains and they smoke.34 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; *

I will praise my God while I have my being.35 May these words of mine please him; *

I will rejoice in the Lord.37 Bless the Lord, O my soul. *

Hallelujah!The people remain seated for the second lesson.

Lesson 1 Corinthians 12:3b-13No one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit. Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses. For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-- Jews or Greeks, slaves or free-- and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. People Thanks be to God.

The people stand as they are able and sing. They remain standing for the Gospel Lesson.

Hymn #501 O Holy Spirit, by whose breath Komm, Gott Shopfer

Gospel Lesson John 7:37-39

Gospeller The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ according to St John. People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, ‘Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.’” Now he said this about the Spirit, which believers in him were to receive; for as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Gospeller The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ. As the gospel procession returns to the altar, the people are seated.

The Sermon The Reverend Jeffrey D. S. Thornberg, Rector

After a brief silence for reflection, the people stand, as they are able.

The Renewal of Baptismal VowsThe Celebrant addresses the people in these or similar words,

Through the Paschal mystery, dear friends, we are buried with Christ by Baptism into his death, and raised with him to newness of life. I call upon you, therefore, now that our Lenten observance is ended, to renew the solemn promises and vows of Holy Baptism, by which we once renounced Satan and all his works, and promised to serve God faithfully in his holy Catholic Church.

Celebrant Do you reaffirm your renunciation of evil and renew your commitment to Jesus Christ?

People I do.Celebrant Do you believe in God the Father?People I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and

earth.Celebrant Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? People I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was

conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

Celebrant Do you believe in God, the Holy Spirit?People I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the

communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Celebrant Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers?

People I will, with God’s help.Celebrant Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into

sin, repent and return to the Lord?People I will, with God’s help.Celebrant Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God

in Christ?People I will, with God’s help.Celebrant Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your

neighbor as yourself?People I will, with God’s help.Celebrant Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and

respect the dignity of every human being?People I will, with God’s help.

Celebrant

May Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and bestowed upon us the forgiveness of sins, keep us in eternal life by his grace, in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

Celebrant and People

Hymn Holy, holy, holy Lord Ronald Arnatt

The people stand or kneel as they are able. The Celebrant continues.

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:Celebrant and People

Christ has died.Christ is risen.Christ will come again.The Celebrant continues

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.Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, to you be honor, glory, and praise, for ever and ever.And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,The Celebrant and the people pray together.

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 BreadThe Celebrant breaks the bread. A period of silence is kept.
