Jazz Vespers

Welcome to Jazz Vespers. For centuries, people have asked God for guidance and care as day turns to

night. This night, we ask God to refresh, inspire, and call us to action. Enter into the songs, silence, and

Scripture as you feel so moved. Breathe deep, be still, and know that you are beloved. May God bless you

in this time of prayer.

Peace by Horace Silver

Hymn: Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Hymn 686

One: Let us pray.

All: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace,

who brings good news, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.’ Listen! Your

sentinels lift up their voices, together they sing for joy; for in plain sight they see the return of the Lord to

Zion. Break forth together into singing, you ruins of Jerusalem;

for the Lord has comforted the people, and has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has bared this holy arm

before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see

the salvation of our God (From the 52nd

Chapter of Isaiah).

Jazz Meditation God Bless the Child

Taize Chant: Bless the Lord, My Soul

One: Let us Pray

All: Forgiveness does not relieve someone of responsibility for what they have done. Forgiveness does

not erase accountability. It is not about turning a blind eye or even turning the other cheek. It is not about

letting someone off the hook or saying it is okay to do something monstrous. Forgiveness is simply about

understanding that every one of us is both inherently good and inherently flawed. Within every hopeless

situation and every seemingly hopeless person lies the possibility of transformation.

Desmond Tutu

Spiritual Song: Spirit of the Living God

Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me (2x).

Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me.

Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me.

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 One: From now on, therefore,

All: We regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human

point of view, we know him no longer in that way. So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation:

everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us

to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was

reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of

reconciliation to us. So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we

entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no

sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

An extended time of silence

Night Prayer

All: Lord, it is night. The night is for stillness. Let us be still in the presence of God. It is night after a

long day. What has been done has been done; what has not been done has not been done. Let it be. The

night is dark. Let our fears of the darkness of the world and of our own lives rest in you. The night is

quiet. Let the quietness of your peace enfold us, all dear to us, and all who have no peace. The night

heralds the dawn. Let us look expectantly to a new day, new possibilities. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen

God Comes to Us as One Unknown

Benediction

One: Go out into the world in peace. Have courage, hold on to what is good. Return no one evil for evil.

Strengthen the faint-hearted, support the weak, help the suffering, honor everyone. Love and serve God,

rejoicing in the power of the Spirit. And may the blessing of Almighty God be with you now, and remain

with you always. All: Amen.

Blessing for the Journey: Go now, in peace. Amen.

Postlude: Improvisation

As ensemble in residence at the Washington National Cathedral, Theodicy Jazz Collective is committed

to making justice real through the creative, spiritual power of music. The group believes that music has

the power to promote understanding in society and that the jazz principles of community, flexibility, and

listening can help the church thrive in our rapidly changing world. Inspired by jazz, blues, gospel,

traditional hymns, and world music, Theodicy believes that the diverse cultures that gave rise to this

music deserve utmost respect. And, because Jesus sought voices from the margins of society while

embracing his own heritage, we seek to expand liturgical tradition without abandoning it. This worship is

offered to the glory of God and with thanksgiving for the Episcopal Church in Minnesota.

Morning Prayer

Lake Superior, with Madeline Island in the distance.

Prelude: Maiden Voyage by Herbie Hancock

The congregation stands. One: Lord, Open our lips. All: And our mouth shall proclaim your praise. Glory to the holy and undivided Trinity, one God. As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. One: Let us pray. All: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace, who brings

good news, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.’ Listen! Your sentinels lift up

their voices, together they sing for joy; for in plain sight they see the return of the Lord to Zion. Break

forth together into singing, you ruins of Jerusalem; for the Lord has comforted the people, and has

redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has bared this holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends

of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. (From the 52nd Chapter of Isaiah).

One: Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom 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.

All: Amen.

One: Dear people of God, for whom and for what do we pray?

All: A time of open prayer, both spoken and silent.

When the time is right, the congregation prays the Lord’s prayer, using the words closest to the heart.

Psalm 24

One: The earth is the Lord’s

All: And all that is in it, the world, and those who live within it; For God has founded it on the seas, and

established it on the rivers. Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in this holy place?

Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, who do not lift up their souls to what is false, and do not

swear deceitfully. They will receive blessing from the Lord, and vindication from the God of their

salvation. Such is the company of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.

The Milky Way galaxy. Visible in this photo are nearly 200 other galaxies.

Dwelling in the Word: Matthew 25 Then the king will say to those at his right hand, “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom

prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you

gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Then the righteous will answer him, “Lord,

when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was

it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?” And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of

the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”

Noonday Prayer

Dwelling in the Word: Psalm 104: 13-19, 24-30, 33-34

O God how many are your works. In wisdom you made them all. You set the earth on its foundations, so

that it shall never be shaken. The earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work. You cause the grass to

grow for the cattle, and the plants for people to use, to bring forth food from the earth, and wine to

gladden the human heart, And bread to strengthen the human heart. You have made the moon to mark the

seasons; The sun knows its time for setting. The earth is full of your creatures.

Yonder is the sea, great and wide, Creeping things are innumerable there, living things, both great and

small. We all look to you to give us food in due season. When you give to them they gather it up; when

you open your hand, they are filled with good things.

When you send forth your spirit, they are created and you renew the face of the ground. I will sing to the

rejoice in the Lord.

Love One Another

A Reading from the Gospel of John (13:12-15, 34-35) All: After Jesus had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, ‘Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what I am. 14So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. Sung Response All: Jesus said, “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Sung Response

Prelude: Improvisations

Opening Hymn: Love One Another

The congregation stands

One: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

All: Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our strength

and redeemer.

One: Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.

An extended time of silence (standing or kneeling)

One: Most merciful God,

All: 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 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.

One: Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all our sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in

all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life.

All: Amen

Leader: Lord, open our lips.

All: And our mouths shall proclaim your praise: Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit:

as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Psalm 95

All: [Antiphon] The earth is the Lord’s in its beauty and holiness: Come let us worship the Lord.

All: Come, let us sing to the Lord; let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before

God’s presence with thanksgiving and raise a loud shout with psalms.

For in God’s hand are the caverns of the earth, and the heights of the hills. The sea belongs to the Lord,

the one who has made it, whose hands have molded the dry land.

Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, and kneel before the Lord our Maker. We are the people of

the pasture and the sheep of God’s hand. Oh that today you would hearken to this voice.

All: [Antiphon] The earth is the Lord’s in its beauty and holiness: Come let us worship the Lord.

Dwelling in the Word: Mark 8

In those days when there was again a great crowd without anything to eat, he called his disciples and said

to them, ‘I have compassion for the crowd, because they have been with me now for three days and have

nothing to eat. If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way—and some of them

have come from a great distance.’ His disciples replied, ‘How can one feed these people with bread here

in the desert?’ He asked them, ‘How many loaves do you have?’ They said, ‘Seven.’ Then he ordered the

crowd to sit down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and after giving thanks he broke them and

gave them to his disciples to distribute; and they distributed them to the crowd. They had also a few small

fish; and after blessing them, he ordered that these too should be distributed. They ate and were filled; and

they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.

At the conclusion of the conversation,

One: The Word of the Lord.

All: Thanks be to God.

The congregation stands.

And blessed be God’s kingdom, now and forever. Amen.

Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid: cleanse

Hymn of Praise: All People Who on Earth Do Dwell

The Word of God

The Lord be with you.

24

And also with you.

Bishop Prior offers a collect and the people respond, Amen.

The people are seated for the reading and psalm.

Lesson: Genesis 1:26-31

Then God said, ‘Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over

the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and

over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.’ 
 So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 
 God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air

and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.’ God said, ‘See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. And to every

beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the

breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.’ And it was so. God saw everything that he had made, and

indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

A period of silence follows the reading.

Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.

Thanks be to God.

Psalm 24

The people recite the psalm verses.

The Earth is the Lord’s, and all that is in it, the world, and those who live within it; For God has founded it

on the seas, and established it on the rivers. Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in

this holy place? Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, who do not lift up their souls to what is false,

and do not swear deceitfully. They will receive blessing from the Lord, and vindication from the God of their

salvation. Such is the company of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.

The people repeat the sung antiphon.

Hymn before the Gospel: All Creatures of the Earth and Sky

Standing.

25

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Then the king will say to those at his right hand, “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the

kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I

was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and

you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Then the

righteous will answer him, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and

gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked

and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?” And the king

will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my

family, you did it to me.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Homily: The Rt. Rev. Brian Prior

The Nicene Creed 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,

26

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 and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped 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.

And guide us in the way of justice and truth.

Let your way be known upon earth;

Your saving health among all nations.

Let not the needy, O Lord, be forgotten;

Nor the hope of the poor be taken away.

Create in us clean hearts, O God;

And sustain us with your Holy Spirit.

The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them unto the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give God thanks and praise.

Bishop Prior offers our thanks to God for the grace and mercy made available to us in Christ, and in

response we sing:

Bishop Prior gives thanks to God for the reconciling work of Christ’s passion and resurrection and prays over the bread and wine.

Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. 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.

The Lord’s Prayer The people pray the Lord’s Prayer in the language closest to their hearts.
