Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and form you 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.
Amen.
Glory to God
Collect
Father in heaven, who at the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan proclaimed him your
beloved Son and anointed him with the Holy Spirit: Grant that all who are baptized into
his Name may keep the covenant they have made, and boldly confess him as Lord and
Savior; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting.
Amen.
THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
Reading Isaiah 43:1-2, 5-7
Thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel:
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall
not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame
shall not consume you. Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from
the east, and from the west I will gather you; I will say to the north, “Give them up,”
And to the south, “Do not withhold; bring my sons from far away and my daughters
from the end of the earth – everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my
glory, whom I formed and made.”
Reader: The Word of the Lord
People: Thanks be to God
Gradual
Please join the choir in singing the REFRAIN:
1 Ascribe to the Lord, you gods, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of
holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord is
upon the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is a powerful voice; the voice of the Lord is a voice of
splendor.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedar trees; the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon;
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.
REFRAIN
7 The voice of the Lord flashes splits the flames of fire; the voice of the Lord shakes
the wilderness; the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
8 The voice of the Lord makes the oak trees writh and strips the forest bare;
9 And in the temple all are crying, “Glory!”
10 The Lord sits enthroned above the flood; the Lord sits enthroned as King for
evermore.
11 The Lord shall give strength to his people; the Lord shall give his people the
blessing of peace.
REFRAIN
Sequence Hymn (standing) “Spirit of the living God”
The Gospel Luke 3:15-17, 21-22
Reader: The Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.
People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.
As the people were filled with expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts
concerning John, whether he might be the Messiah, John answered all of them by saying,
“I baptize you with water; but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not
worthy to untie the thong of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and
fire.”
Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was
praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form
like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, "You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I
am well pleased."
After the Gospel:
Reader: The Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise to you, Lord Christ.

January 10, 17, 24, 31 & February 7:
Immigration. Fear.
Prejudice. Class conflict.
Economic hardship. Political controversy.
The search for hope amid despair.
These are the great issues of our time, torn from the headlines of the 1930s…and chronicled in John
Steinbeck’s classic novel,
The Grapes of Wrath.
Now, more than seventy five years after its original publication, Celinda Pearson and Matt Wright
will lead an exploration of the novel, its themes, and its relevance to readers in the 21st Century.
Please join them for five sessions in the season of Epiphany. They promise lively discussion, and
some exciting extras! They ask only that you keep up with the reading as scheduled in order to have
the richest experience, and prepare for a rewarding journey through The Grapes of Wrath.
