SUMMARY:Wednesday in Holy Week (Year A) [Spy Wednesday]
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nLord God\, whose blessed Son our Savior gave his body to be whipped and his face to be spit upon: Give us grace to accept joyfully the sufferings of the present time\, confident of the glory that shall be revealed; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord\, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nIsaiah 50:4-9a (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe Lord God has given me   the tongue of a teacher\,that I may know how to sustain   the weary with a word.Morning by morning he wakens—   wakens my ear   to listen as those who are taught.The Lord God has opened my ear\,   and I was not rebellious\,   I did not turn backwards.I gave my back to those who struck me\,   and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard;I did not hide my face   from insult and spitting. \n\n\n\nThe Lord God helps me;   therefore I have not been disgraced;therefore I have set my face like flint\,   and I know that I shall not be put to shame;   he who vindicates me is near.Who will contend with me?   Let us stand up together.Who are my adversaries?   Let them confront me.It is the Lord God who helps me;   who will declare me guilty?All of them will wear out like a garment;   the moth will eat them up. \n\n\n\nPsalm 70 (BCP)\n\n\n\nDeus\, in adjutorium1 Be pleased\, O God\, to deliver me; *     O Lord\, make haste to help me.2 Let those who seek my life be ashamedand altogether dismayed; *     let those who take pleasure in my misfortune     draw back and be disgraced.3 Let those who say to me “Aha!” and gloat over me turn back\, *     because they are ashamed.4 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; *     let those who love your salvation say for ever\,     “Great is the Lord!”5 But as for me\, I am poor and needy; *     come to me speedily\, O God.6 You are my helper and my deliverer; *     O Lord\, do not tarry. \n\n\n\nHebrews 12:1-3 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nTherefore\, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses\, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely\, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us\, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith\, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross\, disregarding its shame\, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God. \n\n\n\nConsider him who endured such hostility against himself from sinners\, so that you may not grow weary or lose heart. \n\n\n\n John 13:21-32 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAfter saying this Jesus was troubled in spirit\, and declared\, ‘Very truly\, I tell you\, one of you will betray me.’ The disciples looked at one another\, uncertain of whom he was speaking. One of his disciples—the one whom Jesus loved—was reclining next to him; Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking. So while reclining next to Jesus\, he asked him\, ‘Lord\, who is it?’ Jesus answered\, ‘It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.’ So when he had dipped the piece of bread\, he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot. After he received the piece of bread\, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him\, ‘Do quickly what you are going to do.’ Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. Some thought that\, because Judas had the common purse\, Jesus was telling him\, ‘Buy what we need for the festival’; or\, that he should give something to the poor. So\, after receiving the piece of bread\, he immediately went out. And it was night. \n\n\n\nWhen he had gone out\, Jesus said\, ‘Now the Son of Man has been glorified\, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him\, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:In-person Holy Eucharist for Wednesday in Holy Week (Spy Wednesday)
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is welcome at Church of the Redeemer. We look forward to seeing you at this 12:00 noon service of Holy Eucharist at Church of the Redeemer. It is in-person only. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations (including LGBTQ+).\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nWednesday in Holy Week (Spy Wednesday)\n\n\n\nIn the New Testament account of Holy Week\, after Palm Sunday\, the Sanhedrin gathered and plotted to kill Jesus before the feast of the Passover. On the Wednesday before his death\, Jesus was in Bethany\, in the house of Simon the Leper. As he sat at the supper table with his disciples\, a woman named Mary anointed Jesus’ head and feet with a costly oil. The disciples were indignant\, asking why the oil was not instead sold and the money given to the people lacking resources. Judas Iscariot wanted to keep the money for himself. After dinner\, Judas went to the Sanhedrin and offered to deliver Jesus to them in exchange for money. From this moment on\, Judas sought an opportunity to betray Jesus. \n\n\n\nIn reference to Judas Iscariot’s intent to betray Jesus\, the church sometimes calls Wednesday in Holy Week as “Spy Wednesday.” The word spy\, as used here\, means “ambush\, ambuscade\, snare.” Additionally\, among the disciples\, Judas clandestinely was a spy and Wednesday was the day he chose to betray Jesus. \n\n\n\n(Borrowed heavily from Wikipedia) \n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)
