Light or Salt or Love? Today we are talking two essential elements
of life. Salt and Light. Salt that gives taste to our food and
light that gives light on our path. It is not about a substance
that the Lord is talking about here. But about us becoming the
substance that gives taste and light to others. Adding taste to the
life of someone by being kind, caring and loving is the same as
being the light in their lives. So one change is all what is
required. Become love. We will add taste and light into the lives
of everyone else around us. There is no more figuring out how to be
the salt and how to be the light. Just be the love and the rest
will all fall in place.

In Case You Were Wondering…. What Are Those Chalk Marks around the
Doorway into Shoemaker Hall? The Chalking of the Door is typically
done on January 6th on the Feast of the Epiphany which celebrates
the revealing of Christ to the world in three events: in the visit
of the Magi when He is revealed to the Gentiles, the baptism of
Christ by John, and the changing of water to wine at the Cana
wedding. As God has reveals Himself to us and dwells with us, we
desire the life in our homes to reveal Christ to others. Chalk is
used in this service as an ordinary substance of the earth, dust
put to holy use. It reminds us that we are of the dust of the
ground, the most ordinary of substances, and yet are fashioned as
holy beings for most holy purposes. The inscription this year is:
20+C+M+B+17. Church tradition names three of the Magi, Caspar,
Melchior and Balthasar and on Epiphany we celebrate
3
these three saints and their gift-bringing. The numbers of the year
(this year 2017) are the bookends of the inscription. C M B above
the door, also stands for Christus Mansionem Benedicat, Latin for
“Christ, this house Bless.”

Faith and Reason - Not Your Momma's Sunday School Class Are you
interested in taking a look at the issues of modern
life through the lens of faith and reason? Would you like to talk
about these issues with other folks who are trying to embrace the
struggles to make sense of modernity? Would you like to hear what
people from varying viewpoints think about these issues? If so,
please come check out this class. Our class format is usually
centered on a short video followed by group discussion. We
primarily use TED talks (check out this format at www.ted.com) on
spiritual issues, religion, daily living, science and religion, and
other topics. We also use educational series, YouTube, and other
online platforms to investigate issues of faith in the modern
world. The strength of our new approach is not only in the topics
we will discuss. This format is usually week-to-week. Therefore, if
you miss a Sunday, the next topic is something different. And, we
can give the topic and video link from last week to watch on your
own.
Classes will begin meeting each week at 9:00 am. If you can't make
it until 9:15, just drop in when you can. For more information,
please email Paul Gray at

The Lessons Please be seated
Isaiah 58:1-9a, [9b-12] Lector: A Reading from the Book of Isaiah.
Shout out, do not hold back! Lift up your voice like a trumpet!
Announce to my people their rebellion, to the house of Jacob their
sins. Yet day after day they seek me and delight to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that practiced righteousness and did not
forsake the ordinance of their God; they ask of me righteous
judgments, they delight to draw near to God. “Why do we fast, but
you do not see? Why humble ourselves, but you do not notice?” Look,
you serve your own interest on your fast day, and oppress all your
workers. Look, you fast only to quarrel and to fight and to strike
with a wicked fist. Such fasting as you do today will not make your
voice heard on high. Is such the fast that I choose, a day to
humble oneself? Is it to bow down the head like a bulrush, and to
lie in sackcloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast, a day
acceptable to the Lord? Is not this the fast that I choose: to
loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to
let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to
share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into
your house; when you see the naked, to cover them, and not to hide
yourself from your own kin? Then your light shall break forth like
the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly; your vindicator
shall go before you, the glory of the Lord shall be your rear
guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry
for help, and he will say, Here I am. [If you remove the yoke from
among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil, if you
offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the
afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your
gloom be like the noonday. The Lord will guide you continually, and
satisfy your needs in parched places, and make your bones strong;
and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water,
whose waters never fail.
9
Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the
foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer
of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in.] Isaiah 58:1-9a

Please stand. Psalm 112:1-9, [10]
Hallelujah! Happy are they who fear the Lord * and have great
delight in his commandments! Their descendants will be mighty in
the land; * the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth
and riches will be in their house, * and their righteousness will
last for ever. Light shines in the darkness for the upright; * the
righteous are merciful and full of compassion. It is good for them
to be generous in lending * and to manage their affairs with
justice. For they will never be shaken; * the righteous will be
kept in everlasting remembrance. They will not be afraid of any
evil rumors; * their heart is right; they put their trust in the
Lord. Their heart is established and will not shrink, * until they
see their desire upon their enemies. They have given freely to the
poor, * and their righteousness stands fast for ever; they will
hold up their head with honor. [The wicked will see it and be
angry; they will gnash their teeth and pine away; *
the desires of the wicked will perish.]

Apostle Paul to the Church at Corinth.
When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come
proclaiming the mystery of God to you in lofty words or wisdom. For
I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him
crucified. And I came to you in weakness and in fear and in much
trembling. My speech and my proclamation were not with plausible
words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of
power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the
power of God.
Yet among the mature we do speak wisdom, though it is not a wisdom
of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to perish.
But we speak God’s wisdom, secret and hidden, which God decreed
before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age
understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the
Lord of glory. But, as it is written,
“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart
conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him”—these
things God has revealed to us through the Spirit; for the Spirit
searches everything, even the depths of God. For what human being
knows what is truly human except the human spirit that is within?
So also no one comprehends what is truly God’s except the Spirit of
God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the
Spirit that is from God, so that we may understand the gifts
bestowed on us by God. [And we speak of these things in words not
taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting
spiritual things to those who are spiritual.
Those who are unspiritual do not receive the gifts of God’s Spirit,
for they are foolishness to them, and they are unable to understand
them because they are spiritually discerned. Those who are
spiritual discern all things, and they are themselves subject to no
one else’s scrutiny.
“For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But
we have the mind of Christ.]

Sequence Hymn: “O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God” (#505)
The Gospel
Matthew 5:13-20
according to Matthew.
People: Glory to you, Lord Christ. Jesus said, “You are the salt of
the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be
restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and
trampled under foot. “You are the light of the world. A city built
on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under
the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all
in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others,
so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father
in heaven. “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the
prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I
tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one
stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is
accomplished. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these
commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called
least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches
them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you,
unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and
Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Spirit that by your wisdom and strength she may, with those whom
she brings to you, come to your everlasting Kingdom, for the sake
of your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

17
Celebrant and People
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, 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.

BCP pg. 362
Holy and gracious Father: 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 Father of all.
He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in
obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole
world.
23
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.”
Celebrant
Celebrant and People
Christ has died.
Christ is risen.

We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, 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.
(+) 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.

him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and
glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred,
let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is
discord, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is
despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is
sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to
be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be
loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in
pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born
to eternal life. AMEN.
