Sunday school and nursery care are provided upstairs in our Great Hall.
BIBLE STUDY Join us as we study the scripture of Handel’s Messiah.
ALL ON THE SAME PAGE The club’s next selection is Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver, to be discussed on March 10. It’s a novel that contrasts many of today’s issues with those of an equally turbulent time in America’s history, the 1870s. Please contact Meg Hughes at (518) 694-1550 regarding any questions or reading recommendations.
WEEKLY SHAPENOTE SINGING Every Wednesday, 6-8 p.m. in the Great Hall. All are welcome to drop in and sing hymns from the Sacred Harp tunebook. More information is available at albanysacredharp.org, or by speaking to Tarik Wareh.
The next gathering of the BREAKFAST SYMPOSIUM will be 9:30 a.m. Saturday February 2 A breakfast will be provided and we will be discussing the book, On the Incarnation by Saint Athanasius. The version we recommend is from the “Popular Patristics” series with an introduction by C.S. Lewis. This is a classic of Christian theology written in the fourth century. It outlines the theological vision defended by the Nicene Creed. It is a brief but challenging book.
THEOLOGY ON TAP Thursday January 24th at the Van Dyck Restaurant at 7:00 PM. Our topic this month will be “Praying with Icons.” We will explore the history of use of these holy images in the history and worship of the church as well as their relevance for our devotion.
VESTRY NOMINATIONS There is one open nomination for Junior Warden. Traditionally a Church Warden is nominated from the ranks of the Vestry. There are two open nominations for Vestry members (providing one Vestry Member is nominated to serve as Senior Warden. See the posting in the back of the Church.

The First Lesson Please be seated. Isaiah 43:1-7
For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her vindication shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning torch. The nations shall see your vindication, and all the kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give. You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married. For as a young man marries a young woman, so shall your builder marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.
Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.
Gradual: Psalm 36:5-10 Dixit injustus
Please repeat the refrain at the start and where indicated by ℟.
5 Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, * and your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the strong mountains, your justice like the great deep; * you save both man and beast, O Lord. ℟.
7 How priceless is your love, O God! * your people take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
8 They feast upon the abundance of your house; * you give them drink from the river of your delights. ℟.
9 For with you is the well of life, * and in your light we see light.
10 Continue your loving-kindness to those who know you, * and your favor to those who are true of heart. ℟.
The Second Lesson Please be seated 1 Corinthians 12:1-11
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be un-informed. You know that when you were pagans, you were enticed and led astray to idols that could not speak. Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says "Let Jesus be cursed!" and no 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 manifes-tation 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 an-other 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.
Lector The Word of the Lord People Thanks be to God.
The Peace
Celebrant The peace of the Lord be always with you.
People And with thy spirit.
(Please exchange a sign of peace with those near you.)

We do not presume to come to this thy table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord whose property is always to have mercy. Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

Almighty and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee for that thou dost feed us, in these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favor and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs, through hope, of thy everlasting kingdom. And we humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellow-ship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end.

Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And with thy spirit. Celebrant The Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ according
to Saint Luke People Glory be to thee, O Lord.
On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wed-ding. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come." His mother said to the servants, "Do what-ever he tells you." Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward." So they took it. When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now." Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples be-lieved in him.
Celebrant The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise be to thee, O Christ.
The Sermon The Rector
The Nicene Creed Said by all, standing. Prayer Book p. 326
I believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible: And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God; Begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of very God; Begotten, not made; Being of one substance with the Father; By whom all things were made: Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, And was made man: And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried: And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures: And ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of the Father: And he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spake by the Prophets: And I believe one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church: I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins: And I look for the Resurrection of the dead: And the Life of the world to come. Amen.
The Prayers of the People Please kneel. Prayer Book p. 328
The Confession & Absolution Said by all. Prayer Book p. 330
Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men: We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time most grievously have committed, by thought, word, and deed, against thy divine Majesty, provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous unto us; the burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; for thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ's sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may ever hereaf-ter serve and please thee in newness of life, to the honor and glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
