If anyone says anything to you\, just say this\, “The Lord needs them.” And he will send them immediately.*’ This took place to fulfil what had been spoken through the prophet\, saying\, \n\n\n\n‘Tell the daughter of Zion\,Look\, your king is coming to you\,   humble\, and mounted on a donkey\,   and on a colt\, the foal of a donkey.’ \n\n\n\nThe disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; they brought the donkey and the colt\, and put their cloaks on them\, and he sat on them. A very large crowd* spread their cloaks on the road\, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting\, \n\n\n\n‘Hosanna to the Son of David!   Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!Hosanna in the highest heaven!’ \n\n\n\nWhen he entered Jerusalem\, the whole city was in turmoil\, asking\, ‘Who is this?’ The crowds were saying\, ‘This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.’ \n\n\n\nLiturgy of the Word\n\n\n\nIsaiah 50:4-9 (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.The 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 31:9-16 (BCP)\n\n\n\nMiserere mei Domine quoniam \n\n\n\nHave mercy on me\, O Lord\, for I am in trouble; *   my eye is consumed with sorrow\, and also my throat and my belly.For my life is wasted with grief\, and my years with sighing; *   my strength fails me because of affliction\, and my bones are consumed.I have become a reproach to all my enemies and even to my neighbors\, a dismay to those of my acquaintance; *   when they see me in the street they avoid me.I am forgotten like a dead man\, out of mind; *   I am as useless as a broken pot.For I have heard the whispering of the crowd; fear is all around; *   they put their heads together against me; they plot to take my life.But as for me\, I have trusted in you\, O Lord. *   I have said\, “You are my God.My times are in your hand; *   rescue me from the hand of my enemies\, and from those who persecute me.Make your face to shine upon your servant\, *   and in your loving-kindness save me.” \n\n\n\nPhilippians 2:5-11 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nLet the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus\,who\, though he was in the form of God\,   did not regard equality with God   as something to be exploited\,but emptied himself\,   taking the form of a slave\,   being born in human likeness.And being found in human form\,   he humbled himself   and became obedient to the point of death—   even death on a cross.Therefore God also highly exalted him   and gave him the name   that is above every name\,so that at the name of Jesus   every knee should bend\,   in heaven and on earth and under the earth\,and every tongue should confess   that Jesus Christ is Lord\,   to the glory of God the Father. \n\n\n\nMatthew [26:36-27:10] 27:11-54[55-66] (NRSV)\n\n\n\n[Then one of the twelve\, who was called Judas Iscariot\, went to the chief priests and said\, ‘What will you give me if I betray him to you?’ They paid him thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment he began to look for an opportunity to betray him. \n\n\n\nOn the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus\, saying\, ‘Where do you want us to make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?’ He said\, ‘Go into the city to a certain man\, and say to him\, “The Teacher says\, My time is near; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.” ’ So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them\, and they prepared the Passover meal. \n\n\n\n[When it was evening\, he took his place with the twelve; and while they were eating\, he said\, ‘Truly I tell you\, one of you will betray me.’ And they became greatly distressed and began to say to him one after another\, ‘Surely not I\, Lord?’ He answered\, ‘The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. The Son of Man goes as it is written of him\, but woe to that one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that one not to have been born.’ Judas\, who betrayed him\, said\, ‘Surely not I\, Rabbi?’ He replied\, ‘You have said so.’ \n\n\n\n[While they were eating\, Jesus took a loaf of bread\, and after blessing it he broke it\, gave it to the disciples\, and said\, ‘Take\, eat; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup\, and after giving thanks he gave it to them\, saying\, ‘Drink from it\, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant\, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you\, I will never again drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.’ \n\n\n\n[When they had sung the hymn\, they went out to the Mount of Olives. \n\n\n\n[Then Jesus said to them\, ‘You will all become deserters because of me this night; for it is written\,“I will strike the shepherd\,   and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.”But after I am raised up\, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.’ Peter said to him\, ‘Though all become deserters because of you\, I will never desert you.’ Jesus said to him\, ‘Truly I tell you\, this very night\, before the cock crows\, you will deny me three times.’ Peter said to him\, ‘Even though I must die with you\, I will not deny you.’ And so said all the disciples. \n\n\n\n[Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples\, ‘Sit here while I go over there and pray.’ He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee\, and began to be grieved and agitated. Then he said to them\, ‘I am deeply grieved\, even to death; remain here\, and stay awake with me.’ And going a little farther\, he threw himself on the ground and prayed\, ‘My Father\, if it is possible\, let this cup pass from me; yet not what I want but what you want.’ Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter\, ‘So\, could you not stay awake with me one hour? Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing\, but the flesh is weak.’ Again he went away for the second time and prayed\, ‘My Father\, if this cannot pass unless I drink it\, your will be done.’ Again he came and found them sleeping\, for their eyes were heavy. So leaving them again\, he went away and prayed for the third time\, saying the same words. Then he came to the disciples and said to them\, ‘Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? See\, the hour is at hand\, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up\, let us be going. See\, my betrayer is at hand.’ \n\n\n\n[While he was still speaking\, Judas\, one of the twelve\, arrived; with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs\, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now the betrayer had given them a sign\, saying\, ‘The one I will kiss is the man; arrest him.’ At once he came up to Jesus and said\, ‘Greetings\, Rabbi!’ and kissed him. Jesus said to him\, ‘Friend\, do what you are here to do.’ Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and arrested him. Suddenly\, one of those with Jesus put his hand on his sword\, drew it\, and struck the slave of the high priest\, cutting off his ear. Then Jesus said to him\, ‘Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father\, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled\, which say it must happen in this way?’ At that hour Jesus said to the crowds\, ‘Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as though I were a bandit? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching\, and you did not arrest me. But all this has taken place\, so that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled.’ Then all the disciples deserted him and fled. \n\n\n\n[Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest\, in whose house the scribes and the elders had gathered. But Peter was following him at a distance\, as far as the courtyard of the high priest; and going inside\, he sat with the guards in order to see how this would end. Now the chief priests and the whole council were looking for false testimony against Jesus so that they might put him to death\, but they found none\, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward and said\, ‘This fellow said\, “I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.” ’ The high priest stood up and said\, ‘Have you no answer? What is it that they testify against you?’ But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest said to him\, ‘I put you under oath before the living God\, tell us if you are the Messiah\, the Son of God.’ Jesus said to him\, ‘You have said so. But I tell you\,From now on you will see the Son of Man   seated at the right hand of Power   and coming on the clouds of heaven.’Then the high priest tore his clothes and said\, ‘He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? You have now heard his blasphemy. What is your verdict?’ They answered\, ‘He deserves death.’ Then they spat in his face and struck him; and some slapped him\, saying\, ‘Prophesy to us\, you Messiah! Who is it that struck you?’ \n\n\n\n[Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant-girl came to him and said\, ‘You also were with Jesus the Galilean.’ But he denied it before all of them\, saying\, ‘I do not know what you are talking about.’ When he went out to the porch\, another servant-girl saw him\, and she said to the bystanders\, ‘This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.’ Again he denied it with an oath\, ‘I do not know the man.’ After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter\, ‘Certainly you are also one of them\, for your accent betrays you.’ Then he began to curse\, and he swore an oath\, ‘I do not know the man!’ At that moment the cock crowed. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said: ‘Before the cock crows\, you will deny me three times.’ And he went out and wept bitterly. \n\n\n\n[When morning came\, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus in order to bring about his death. They bound him\, led him away\, and handed him over to Pilate the governor. \n\n\n\n[When Judas\, his betrayer\, saw that Jesus was condemned\, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. He said\, ‘I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.’ But they said\, ‘What is that to us? See to it yourself.’ Throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple\, he departed; and he went and hanged himself. But the chief priests\, taking the pieces of silver\, said\, ‘It is not lawful to put them into the treasury\, since they are blood money.’ After conferring together\, they used them to buy the potter’s field as a place to bury foreigners. For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. Then was fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah\, ‘And they took the thirty pieces of silver\, the price of the one on whom a price had been set\, on whom some of the people of Israel had set a price\, and they gave them for the potter’s field\, as the Lord commanded me.’] \n\n\n\nNow Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him\, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ Jesus said\, ‘You say so.’ But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders\, he did not answer. Then Pilate said to him\, ‘Do you not hear how many accusations they make against you?’ But he gave him no answer\, not even to a single charge\, so that the governor was greatly amazed. \n\n\n\nNow at the festival the governor was accustomed to release a prisoner for the crowd\, anyone whom they wanted. At that time they had a notorious prisoner\, called Jesus Barabbas. So after they had gathered\, Pilate said to them\, ‘Whom do you want me to release for you\, Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Messiah?’ For he realized that it was out of jealousy that they had handed him over. While he was sitting on the judgement seat\, his wife sent word to him\, ‘Have nothing to do with that innocent man\, for today I have suffered a great deal because of a dream about him.’ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed. The governor again said to them\, ‘Which of the two do you want me to release for you?’ And they said\, ‘Barabbas.’ Pilate said to them\, ‘Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?’ All of them said\, ‘Let him be crucified!’ Then he asked\, ‘Why\, what evil has he done?’ But they shouted all the more\, ‘Let him be crucified!’ \n\n\n\nSo when Pilate saw that he could do nothing\, but rather that a riot was beginning\, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd\, saying\, ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.’ Then the people as a whole answered\, ‘His blood be on us and on our children!’ So he released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus\, he handed him over to be crucified. \n\n\n\nThen the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s headquarters\, and they gathered the whole cohort around him. They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him\, and after twisting some thorns into a crown\, they put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand and knelt before him and mocked him\, saying\, ‘Hail\, King of the Jews!’ They spat on him\, and took the reed and struck him on the head. After mocking him\, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him. \n\n\n\nAs they went out\, they came upon a man from Cyrene named Simon; they compelled this man to carry his cross. And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull)\, they offered him wine to drink\, mixed with gall; but when he tasted it\, he would not drink it. And when they had crucified him\, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots; then they sat down there and kept watch over him. Over his head they put the charge against him\, which read\, ‘This is Jesus\, the King of the Jews.’ \n\n\n\nThen two bandits were crucified with him\, one on his right and one on his left. Those who passed by derided him\, shaking their heads and saying\, ‘You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days\, save yourself! If you are the Son of God\, come down from the cross.’ In the same way the chief priests also\, along with the scribes and elders\, were mocking him\, saying\, ‘He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now\, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God; let God deliver him now\, if he wants to; for he said\, “I am God’s Son.” ’ The bandits who were crucified with him also taunted him in the same way. \n\n\n\nFrom noon on\, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And about three o’clock Jesus cried with a loud voice\, ‘Eli\, Eli\, lema sabachthani?’ that is\, ‘My God\, my God\, why have you forsaken me?’ When some of the bystanders heard it\, they said\, ‘This man is calling for Elijah.’ At once one of them ran and got a sponge\, filled it with sour wine\, put it on a stick\, and gave it to him to drink. But the others said\, ‘Wait\, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.’ Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two\, from top to bottom. The earth shook\, and the rocks were split. The tombs also were opened\, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. After his resurrection they came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many. Now when the centurion and those with him\, who were keeping watch over Jesus\, saw the earthquake and what took place\, they were terrified and said\, ‘Truly this man was God’s Son!’ \n\n\n\n[Many women were also there\, looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from Galilee and had provided for him. Among them were Mary Magdalene\, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph\, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. \n\n\n\n[When it was evening\, there came a rich man from Arimathea\, named Joseph\, who was also a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb\, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there\, sitting opposite the tomb. \n\n\n\n[The next day\, that is\, after the day of Preparation\, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said\, ‘Sir\, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive\, “After three days I will rise again.” Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day; otherwise his disciples may go and steal him away\, and tell the people\, “He has been raised from the dead”\, and the last deception would be worse than the first.’ Pilate said to them\, ‘You have a guard of soldiers; go\, make it as secure as you can.’ So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.] \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.

We look forward to seeing you at this 8:00 am Sunday 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\nThe Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday\n\n\n\nPalm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter at which Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:1-11\, Mark 11:1-11a\, Luke 19:29-40) and Jesus’ Passion on the cross (Matthew 26:36-27:66\, Mark 14:32-15:47\, Luke 22:39-23:56) are recalled. Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week. \n\n\n\nThe observance of Palm Sunday in Jerusalem was witnessed by the pilgrim Egeria in about 381-384. During this observance there was a procession of people down the Mount of Olives into Jerusalem. The people waved branches of palms or olive trees as they walked. They sang psalms\, including Psalm 118\, and shouted the antiphon\, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” \n\n\n\nThe Palm Sunday observance was generally accepted throughout the church by the twelfth century. However\, the day was identified in the 1549 Book of Common Prayer as simply “The Sunday next before Easter.” The blessing of branches and the procession were not included. \n\n\n\nThe 1928 Book of Common Prayer added the phrase “commonly called Palm Sunday” to the title of the day. A form for blessing palms was provided by the Book of Offices (1960). The 1979 BCP presents the full title for the day\, “The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday” (BCP\, p. 270). \n\n\n\nThe liturgy of the palms is the entrance rite for the service. The liturgy of the palms includes a reading of one of the gospel accounts of Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem. All the people hold branches in their hands during the procession. Appropriate hymns\, psalms\, or anthems are sung. \n\n\n\nWhen the service includes the Eucharist\, the liturgy of the palms is followed by the salutation and the collect of the day. The service changes focus abruptly from the triumphal entry into Jerusalem to the solemnity of the Passion. The Passion gospel may be read or chanted by lay persons. Specific roles may be assigned to different persons. \n\n\n\n(Taken from Palm Sunday.) \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.

Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week. \n\n\n\nThe observance of Palm Sunday in Jerusalem was witnessed by the pilgrim Egeria in about 381-384. During this observance there was a procession of people down the Mount of Olives into Jerusalem. The people waved branches of palms or olive trees as they walked. They sang psalms\, including Psalm 118\, and shouted the antiphon\, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” \n\n\n\nThe Palm Sunday observance was generally accepted throughout the church by the twelfth century. However\, the day was identified in the 1549 Book of Common Prayer as simply “The Sunday next before Easter.” The blessing of branches and the procession were not included. \n\n\n\nThe 1928 Book of Common Prayer added the phrase “commonly called Palm Sunday” to the title of the day. A form for blessing palms was provided by the Book of Offices (1960). The 1979 BCP presents the full title for the day\, “The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday” (BCP\, p. 270). \n\n\n\nThe liturgy of the palms is the entrance rite for the service. The liturgy of the palms includes a reading of one of the gospel accounts of Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem. All the people hold branches in their hands during the procession. Appropriate hymns\, psalms\, or anthems are sung. \n\n\n\nWhen the service includes the Eucharist\, the liturgy of the palms is followed by the salutation and the collect of the day. The service changes focus abruptly from the triumphal entry into Jerusalem to the solemnity of the Passion. The Passion gospel may be read or chanted by lay persons. Specific roles may be assigned to different persons. \n\n\n\n(Taken from Palm Sunday.) \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\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

In North America\, it traveled through New England to Appalachia and the Ozarks. Today people take part around the world in this tradition of shape note signing. We regularly sing hymns today that started from this tradition. Through the Pacific Northwest Sacred Harp Singers (PNWSHS)\, this music will come to the parish hall at Church of the Redeemer on two Sunday afternoons. Come\, take part from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm on March 29\, and April 26. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is no admission or membership dues. A collection will be taken to cover expenses. The PNWSHS invites anyone and everyone. This singing will use the 2025 Denson Edition of The Sacred Harp. Loaner books will be available. \n\n\n\nChurch of the Redeemer is at 6220 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore\, Washington. \n\n\n\nWhat is a shape note singing?\n\n\n\nA shape note “singing” is not a church service. On the contrary\, it is a group of people coming together to sing. It is democracy in action. “We are not Baptist\, Jews\, Episcopalians and atheists. We are altos\, tenors\, trebles and basses. And we know we need each other to do this” (NPR). \n\n\n\nThere is no professional shape note singers or concerts. This music is participatory by people\, with or without music education. \n\n\n\nThere are unique harmonies in this music. Jeannette Sorrell describes it this way\, “It’s just a texture that\, in a way sounds somewhat medieval — many open fifths and open fourths; things like that” (WFMT). \n\n\n\nWhile there is no professional shape note singers\, professional groups have used music from this tradition. For example\, the Tudor Choir has a Christmas album of music collected by Karen Willard’s An American Christmas Harp. Chanticleer has recorded some shape note music\, including “Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken” on their Our American Journey album. \n\n\n\nAll sorts and conditions of people take part in shape note singing. For example\, a punk rocker by the name José Camacho-Cerna contributed the tune Lowndes to the 2025 edition of The Sacred Harp. \n\n\n\nNicholas Thompson was asked to leave his church in rural Alabama after he came out. The shape note community embraced him. “Sacred Harp let me be who I was\, and I didn’t have to pretend to be anybody when I was at singings or with singers. And the fact that it’s being kept alive by the queer community\, the\, you know\, minorities\, I love that. I love that it’s become a melting pot of everybody” (NPR). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction on March 22\n\n\n\nIn addition to the singings at Redeemer on March 29 and April 26\, Karen Willard will be at Church of the Redeemer on March 22\, 2026. Following the 10:30 service\, she will introduce shape note singing for anyone interested. You can see what it is all about. Ask questions! \n\n\n\nCome\, join the fun. Invite anyone. This is not a Redeemer event. You do not discuss politics\, religion\, or college football at singings. And\, while there are no membership dues or fees\, there will be a collection to pay expenses for the singing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPacific Northwest Sacred Harp Singers (PNWSHS)\n\n\n\nThe PNWSHS mission is to organize\, improve\, expand\, and encourage community shapenote singing in the Pacific Northwest through singing school classes\, singings\, and conventions. It serves as the umbrella organization for all shapenote singings in Washington state\, and provides help as needed to shapenote singings in Oregon\, Idaho\, Montana\, British Columbia\, and Alaska.

Please contact Cocaine Anonymous for more information. In the spirit of Tradition Six\, C.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nMeeting type: \n\n\n\n\nMeditation: Practices vary\, but typically there is a brief period of meditation prior to any sharing. The meditation may be silent or accompanied by audio intended to help facilitate the practice. Lights may be turned off or dimmed during the meditation.\n\n\n\nCandlelight: The meeting is conducted partly or entirely by candlelight.\n\n\n\n\nAbout C.A.\n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous is a Fellowship of men and women who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from their addiction. \n\n\n\nThe best way to reach someone is to speak to them on a common level. The members of C.A. are all recovering addicts who maintain their individual sobriety by working with others. We come from various social\, ethnic\, economic and religious backgrounds\, but what we have in common is addiction. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. \n\n\n\nAnyone who wants to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances (including alcohol and other drugs) is welcome. \n\n\n\nThere are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully self-supporting through our own contributions. \n\n\n\nWe do ask for voluntary contributions at meetings to cover expenses such as coffee\, rent\, literature and services to help those who are still suffering. However\, newcomers need not feel obligated to contribute. We do not accept donations from organizations or individuals outside the Fellowship. \n\n\n\nWe are not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nIn order to maintain our integrity and avoid any possible complications\, we are not affiliated with any outside organization. Although C.A. is a spiritual program\, we do not align ourselves with any religion. Our members are free to define their spirituality as they see fit. Our individual members may have opinions of their own\, but C.A. as a whole has no opinion on outside issues. We are not affiliated with any rehabs\, recovery houses or hospitals\, but many do refer their patients to Cocaine Anonymous to maintain their sobriety. \n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances and to help others achieve the same freedom. \n\n\n\nThe only purpose of Cocaine Anonymous is to offer recovery to individuals who are suffering from addiction. Our experience has shown that the most effective way to attain and maintain sobriety is to work with others suffering from the same malady. \n\n\n\nWe use the Twelve-Step recovery program because it has already been proven that the Twelve-Step recovery program works. \n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\nWelcome to Cocaine Anonymous . We are all here for the same reason—our inability to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. The first step towards solving any problem is admitting that there is a problem. \n\n\n\n12 steps of Cocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\n\nWe admitted we were powerless over cocaine and all other mind-altering substances—that our lives had become unmanageable.\n\n\n\nCame to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.\n\n\n\nMade a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.\n\n\n\nMade a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.\n\n\n\nAdmitted to God\, to ourselves\, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.\n\n\n\nWere entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.\n\n\n\nHumbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.\n\n\n\nMade a list of all persons we had harmed\, and became willing to make amends to them all.\n\n\n\nMade direct amends to such people wherever possible\, except when to do so would injure them or others.\n\n\n\nContinued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.\n\n\n\nSought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him\, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.\n\n\n\nHaving had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps\, we tried to carry this message to addicts\, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

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.

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 .)

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\nExodus 12:1-14 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: This month shall mark for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you. Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth of this month they are to take a lamb for each family\, a lamb for each household. If a household is too small for a whole lamb\, it shall join its closest neighbor in obtaining one; the lamb shall be divided in proportion to the number of people who eat of it. Your lamb shall be without blemish\, a year-old male; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; then the whole assembled congregation of Israel shall slaughter it at twilight. They shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. They shall eat the lamb that same night; they shall eat it roasted over the fire with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water\, but roasted over the fire\, with its head\, legs\, and inner organs. You shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn. This is how you shall eat it: your loins girded\, your sandals on your feet\, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it hurriedly. It is the passover of the Lord. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night\, and I will strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt\, both human beings and animals; on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgements: I am the Lord. The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live: when I see the blood\, I will pass over you\, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.This day shall be a day of remembrance for you. You shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord; throughout your generations you shall observe it as a perpetual ordinance. \n\n\n\nPsalm 116 (BCP)\n\n\n\nDilexi\, quoniam \n\n\n\nI love the Lord\, because he has heard the voice of my supplication\, *   because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him.How shall I repay the Lord *   for all the good things he has done for me?I will lift up the cup of salvation *   and call upon the Name of the Lord.I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *   in the presence of all his people.Precious in the sight of the Lord *   is the death of his servants.O Lord\, I am your servant; *   I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds.I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving *   and call upon the Name of the Lord.I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *   in the presence of all his people\,In the courts of the Lord ‘s house\, *   in the midst of you\, O Jerusalem. \n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-32 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nFor I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you\, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread\, and when he had given thanks\, he broke it and said\, ‘This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way he took the cup also\, after supper\, saying\, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this\, as often as you drink it\, in remembrance of me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup\, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.Whoever\, therefore\, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be answerable for the body and blood of the Lord. Examine yourselves\, and only then eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For all who eat and drink without discerning the body\, eat and drink judgement against themselves. For this reason many of you are weak and ill\, and some have died. But if we judged ourselves\, we would not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord\, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world. \n\n\n\nJohn 13:1-17\,31-35 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nNow before the festival of the Passover\, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world\, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper Jesus\, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands\, and that he had come from God and was going to God\, got up from the table\, took off his outer robe\, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. He came to Simon Peter\, who said to him\, ‘Lord\, are you going to wash my feet?’ Jesus answered\, ‘You do not know now what I am doing\, but later you will understand.’ Peter said to him\, ‘You will never wash my feet.’ Jesus answered\, ‘Unless I wash you\, you have no share with me.’ Simon Peter said to him\, ‘Lord\, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!’ Jesus said to him\, ‘One who has bathed does not need to wash\, except for the feet\, but is entirely clean. And you are clean\, though not all of you.’ For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said\, ‘Not all of you are clean.’After he 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. So 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. Very truly\, I tell you\, servants are not greater than their master\, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. If you know these things\, you are blessed if you do them.When 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. Little children\, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you\, “Where I am going\, you cannot come.” 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.’ \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.

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 52:13-53:12 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSee\, my servant shall prosper;   he shall be exalted and lifted up\,   and shall be very high.Just as there were many who were astonished at him   —so marred was his appearance\, beyond human semblance\,   and his form beyond that of mortals—so he shall startle many nations;   kings shall shut their mouths because of him;for that which had not been told them they shall see\,   and that which they had not heard they shall contemplate.Who has believed what we have heard?   And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?For he grew up before him like a young plant\,   and like a root out of dry ground;he had no form or majesty that we should look at him\,   nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.He was despised and rejected by others;   a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity;and as one from whom others hide their faces   he was despised\, and we held him of no account.Surely he has borne our infirmities   and carried our diseases;yet we accounted him stricken\,   struck down by God\, and afflicted.But he was wounded for our transgressions\,   crushed for our iniquities;upon him was the punishment that made us whole\,   and by his bruises we are healed.All we like sheep have gone astray;   we have all turned to our own way\,and the Lord has laid on him   the iniquity of us all.He was oppressed\, and he was afflicted\,   yet he did not open his mouth;like a lamb that is led to the slaughter\,   and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent\,   so he did not open his mouth.By a perversion of justice he was taken away.   Who could have imagined his future?For he was cut off from the land of the living\,   stricken for the transgression of my people.They made his grave with the wicked   and his tomb with the rich\,although he had done no violence\,   and there was no deceit in his mouth.Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with pain.When you make his life an offering for sin\,   he shall see his offspring\, and shall prolong his days;through him the will of the Lord shall prosper.   Out of his anguish he shall see light;he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge.   The righteous one\, my servant\, shall make many righteous\,   and he shall bear their iniquities.Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great\,   and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;because he poured out himself to death\,   and was numbered with the transgressors;yet he bore the sin of many\,   and made intercession for the transgressors. \n\n\n\nPsalm 22 (BCP)\n\n\n\nDeus\, Deus meus \n\n\n\nMy God\, my God\, why have you forsaken me? *   and are so far from my cry and from the words of my distress?O my God\, I cry in the daytime\, but you do not answer; *   by night as well\, but I find no rest.Yet you are the Holy One\, *   enthroned upon the praises of Israel.Our forefathers put their trust in you; *   they trusted\, and you delivered them.They cried out to you and were delivered; *   they trusted in you and were not put to shame.But as for me\, I am a worm and no man\, *   scorned by all and despised by the people.All who see me laugh me to scorn; *   they curl their lips and wag their heads\, saying\,“He trusted in the Lord; let him deliver him; *   let him rescue him\, if he delights in him.”Yet you are he who took me out of the womb\, *   and kept me safe upon my mother’s breast.I have been entrusted to you ever since I was born; *   you were my God when I was still in my mother’s womb.Be not far from me\, for trouble is near\, *   and there is none to help.Many young bulls encircle me; *   strong bulls of Bashan surround me.They open wide their jaws at me\, *   like a ravening and a roaring lion.I am poured out like water; all my bones are out of joint; *   my heart within my breast is melting wax.My mouth is dried out like a pot-sherd; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; *   and you have laid me in the dust of the grave.Packs of dogs close me in\, and gangs of evildoers circle around me; *   they pierce my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones.They stare and gloat over me; *   they divide my garments among them; they cast lots for my clothing.Be not far away\, O Lord; *   you are my strength; hasten to help me.Save me from the sword\, *   my life from the power of the dog.Save me from the lion’s mouth\, *   my wretched body from the horns of wild bulls.I will declare your Name to my brethren; *   in the midst of the congregation I will praise you.Praise the Lord\, you that fear him; *   stand in awe of him\, O offspring of Israel; all you of Jacob’s line\, give glory.For he does not despise nor abhor the poor in their poverty; neither does he hide his face from them; *   but when they cry to him he hears them.My praise is of him in the great assembly; *   I will perform my vows in the presence of those who worship him.The poor shall eat and be satisfied\, and those who seek the Lord shall praise him: *   “May your heart live for ever!”All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord\, *   and all the families of the nations shall bow before him.For kingship belongs to the Lord; *   he rules over the nations.To him alone all who sleep in the earth bow down in worship; *   all who go down to the dust fall before him.My soul shall live for him; my descendants shall serve him; *they shall be known as the Lord’s for ever.They shall come and make known to a people yet unborn *   the saving deeds that he has done. \n\n\n\nHebrews 10:16-25 (NRSV)\n\n\n\n‘This is the covenant that I will make with them   after those days\, says the Lord:I will put my laws in their hearts\,   and I will write them on their minds’\,he also adds\,‘I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.’Where there is forgiveness of these\, there is no longer any offering for sin.Therefore\, my friends\, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus\, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is\, through his flesh)\, and since we have a great priest over the house of God\, let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith\, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering\, for he who has promised is faithful. And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds\, not neglecting to meet together\, as is the habit of some\, but encouraging one another\, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. \n\n\n\nJohn 18:1-19:42 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAfter Jesus had spoken these words\, he went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to a place where there was a garden\, which he and his disciples entered. Now Judas\, who betrayed him\, also knew the place\, because Jesus often met there with his disciples. So Judas brought a detachment of soldiers together with police from the chief priests and the Pharisees\, and they came there with lanterns and torches and weapons. Then Jesus\, knowing all that was to happen to him\, came forward and asked them\, ‘For whom are you looking?’ They answered\, ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’ Jesus replied\, ‘I am he.’ Judas\, who betrayed him\, was standing with them. When Jesus said to them\, ‘I am he’\, they stepped back and fell to the ground. Again he asked them\, ‘For whom are you looking?’ And they said\, ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’ Jesus answered\, ‘I told you that I am he. So if you are looking for me\, let these men go.’ This was to fulfil the word that he had spoken\, ‘I did not lose a single one of those whom you gave me.’ Then Simon Peter\, who had a sword\, drew it\, struck the high priest’s slave\, and cut off his right ear. The slave’s name was Malchus. Jesus said to Peter\, ‘Put your sword back into its sheath. Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?’So the soldiers\, their officer\, and the Jewish police arrested Jesus and bound him. First they took him to Annas\, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas\, the high priest that year. Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was better to have one person die for the people.Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest\, he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest\, but Peter was standing outside at the gate. So the other disciple\, who was known to the high priest\, went out\, spoke to the woman who guarded the gate\, and brought Peter in. The woman said to Peter\, ‘You are not also one of this man’s disciples\, are you?’ He said\, ‘I am not.’ Now the slaves and the police had made a charcoal fire because it was cold\, and they were standing round it and warming themselves. Peter also was standing with them and warming himself.Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. Jesus answered\, ‘I have spoken openly to the world; I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple\, where all the Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret. Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said to them; they know what I said.’ When he had said this\, one of the police standing nearby struck Jesus on the face\, saying\, ‘Is that how you answer the high priest?’ Jesus answered\, ‘If I have spoken wrongly\, testify to the wrong. But if I have spoken rightly\, why do you strike me?’ Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They asked him\, ‘You are not also one of his disciples\, are you?’ He denied it and said\, ‘I am not.’ One of the slaves of the high priest\, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off\, asked\, ‘Did I not see you in the garden with him?’ Again Peter denied it\, and at that moment the cock crowed.Then they took Jesus from Caiaphas to Pilate’s headquarters. It was early in the morning. They themselves did not enter the headquarters\, so as to avoid ritual defilement and to be able to eat the Passover. So Pilate went out to them and said\, ‘What accusation do you bring against this man?’ They answered\, ‘If this man were not a criminal\, we would not have handed him over to you.’ Pilate said to them\, ‘Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law.’ The Jews replied\, ‘We are not permitted to put anyone to death.’ (This was to fulfil what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was to die.)Then Pilate entered the headquarters again\, summoned Jesus\, and asked him\, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ Jesus answered\, ‘Do you ask this on your own\, or did others tell you about me?’ Pilate replied\, ‘I am not a Jew\, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?’ Jesus answered\, ‘My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world\, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is\, my kingdom is not from here.’ Pilate asked him\, ‘So you are a king?’ Jesus answered\, ‘You say that I am a king. For this I was born\, and for this I came into the world\, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.’ Pilate asked him\, ‘What is truth?’After he had said this\, he went out to the Jews again and told them\, ‘I find no case against him. But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover. Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?’ They shouted in reply\, ‘Not this man\, but Barabbas!’ Now Barabbas was a bandit.Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head\, and they dressed him in a purple robe. They kept coming up to him\, saying\, ‘Hail\, King of the Jews!’ and striking him on the face. Pilate went out again and said to them\, ‘Look\, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no case against him.’ So Jesus came out\, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them\, ‘Here is the man!’ When the chief priests and the police saw him\, they shouted\, ‘Crucify him! Crucify him!’ Pilate said to them\, ‘Take him yourselves and crucify him; I find no case against him.’ The Jews answered him\, ‘We have a law\, and according to that law he ought to die because he has claimed to be the Son of God.’Now when Pilate heard this\, he was more afraid than ever. He entered his headquarters again and asked Jesus\, ‘Where are you from?’ But Jesus gave him no answer. Pilate therefore said to him\, ‘Do you refuse to speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you\, and power to crucify you?’ Jesus answered him\, ‘You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.’ From then on Pilate tried to release him\, but the Jews cried out\, ‘If you release this man\, you are no friend of the emperor. Everyone who claims to be a king sets himself against the emperor.’When Pilate heard these words\, he brought Jesus outside and sat on the judge’s bench at a place called The Stone Pavement\, or in Hebrew Gabbatha. Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; and it was about noon. He said to the Jews\, ‘Here is your King!’ They cried out\, ‘Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!’ Pilate asked them\, ‘Shall I crucify your King?’ The chief priests answered\, ‘We have no king but the emperor.’ Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.So they took Jesus; and carrying the cross by himself\, he went out to what is called The Place of the Skull\, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha. There they crucified him\, and with him two others\, one on either side\, with Jesus between them. Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the cross. It read\, ‘Jesus of Nazareth\, the King of the Jews.’ Many of the Jews read this inscription\, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew\, in Latin\, and in Greek. Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate\, ‘Do not write\, “The King of the Jews”\, but\, “This man said\, I am King of the Jews.” ’ Pilate answered\, ‘What I have written I have written.’ When the soldiers had crucified Jesus\, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts\, one for each soldier. They also took his tunic; now the tunic was seamless\, woven in one piece from the top. So they said to one another\, ‘Let us not tear it\, but cast lots for it to see who will get it.’ This was to fulfil what the scripture says\,‘They divided my clothes among themselves\,   and for my clothing they cast lots.’And that is what the soldiers did.Meanwhile\, standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother\, and his mother’s sister\, Mary the wife of Clopas\, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her\, he said to his mother\, ‘Woman\, here is your son.’ Then he said to the disciple\, ‘Here is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.After this\, when Jesus knew that all was now finished\, he said (in order to fulfil the scripture)\, ‘I am thirsty.’ A jar full of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the wine\, he said\, ‘It is finished.’ Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.Since it was the day of Preparation\, the Jews did not want the bodies left on the cross during the sabbath\, especially because that sabbath was a day of great solemnity. So they asked Pilate to have the legs of the crucified men broken and the bodies removed. Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who had been crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead\, they did not break his legs. Instead\, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear\, and at once blood and water came out. (He who saw this has testified so that you also may believe. His testimony is true\, and he knows that he tells the truth.) These things occurred so that the scripture might be fulfilled\, ‘None of his bones shall be broken.’ And again another passage of scripture says\, ‘They will look on the one whom they have pierced.’After these things\, Joseph of Arimathea\, who was a disciple of Jesus\, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews\, asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission; so he came and removed his body. Nicodemus\, who had at first come to Jesus by night\, also came\, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes\, weighing about a hundred pounds. They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in linen cloths\, according to the burial custom of the Jews. Now there was a garden in the place where he was crucified\, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. And so\, because it was the Jewish day of Preparation\, and the tomb was nearby\, they laid Jesus there. \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.

We look forward to seeing you at this 12:00 noon service 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\nGood Friday\n\n\n\nGood Friday is the Friday before Easter Day\, on which the church commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. It is a day of fasting and special acts of discipline and self-denial. \n\n\n\nIn the early church\, candidates for baptism\, joined by others\, fasted for a day or two before the Paschal feast. In the west the first of those days eventually acquired the character of historical reenactment of the passion and death of Christ. \n\n\n\nThe liturgy of the day includes John’s account of the Passion gospel\, a solemn form of intercession known as the solemn collects (dating from ancient Rome)\, and optional devotions before the cross (commonly known as the veneration of the cross). \n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is not celebrated in the Episcopal Church on Good Friday\, but Holy Communion may be administered from the reserved sacrament at the Good Friday service. \n\n\n\n(Taken from Good Friday) \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 .)

It is a day of fasting and special acts of discipline and self-denial. \n\n\n\nIn the early church\, candidates for baptism\, joined by others\, fasted for a day or two before the Paschal feast. In the west the first of those days eventually acquired the character of historical reenactment of the passion and death of Christ. \n\n\n\nThe liturgy of the day includes John’s account of the Passion gospel\, a solemn form of intercession known as the solemn collects (dating from ancient Rome)\, and optional devotions before the cross (commonly known as the veneration of the cross). \n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is not celebrated in the Episcopal Church on Good Friday\, but Holy Communion may be administered from the reserved sacrament at the Good Friday service. \n\n\n\n(Taken from Good Friday) \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\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

Please contact Alcoholics Anonymous for more information. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nWhat is Alcoholics Anonymous?\n\n\n\nAlcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy\, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. \n\n\n\nWhat A.A. does do: \n\n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.\n\n\n\nA.A. members share their experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person service or “sponsorship” to the alcoholic coming to A.A. from any source.\n\n\n\nThe A.A. program\, set forth in our Twelve Steps\, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.\n\n\n\n\nThis program is discussed at A.A. group meetings. \n\n\n\n\nOpen speaker meetings — open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics. (Attendance at an open A.A. meeting is the best way to learn what A.A. is\, what it does\, and what it does not do.) At speaker meetings\, A.A. members “tell their stories.” They describe their experiences with alcohol\, how they came to A.A.\, and how their lives have changed as a result of Alcoholics Anonymous.\n\n\n\nOpen discussion meetings — one member speaks briefly about his or her drinking experience\, and then leads a discussion on A.A. recovery or any drinking-related problem anyone brings up. (Closed meetings are for A.A.s or anyone who may have a drinking problem.)\n\n\n\nClosed discussion meetings — conducted just as open discussions are\, but for alcoholics or prospective A.A.s only.\n\n\n\nStep meetings (usually closed) — discussion of one of the Twelve Steps.

Amen. \n\n\n\nor this \n\n\n\nO God\, who made this most holy night to shine with the glory of the Lord’s resurrection: Stir up in your Church that Spirit of adoption which is given to us in Baptism\, that we\, being renewed both in body and mind\, may worship you in sincerity and truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord\, who lives and reigns with you\, in the unity of the Holy Spirit\, one God\, now and for 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\nThe Service of Lessons\n\n\n\nAt least two of the following Lessons are read\, of which one is always the Lesson from Exodus.  \n\n\n\nGenesis 1:1—2:4a (NRSV)\n\n\n\nIn the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth\, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep\, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said\, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day\, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning\, the first day. And God said\, “Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters\, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning\, the second day. And God said\, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place\, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land Earth\, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. Then God said\, “Let the earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed\, and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.” And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind\, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning\, the third day. And God said\, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years\, and let them be lights in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. God set them in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth\, to rule over the day and over the night\, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning\, the fourth day. And God said\, “Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures\, and let birds fly above the earth across the dome of the sky.” So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves\, of every kind\, with which the waters swarm\, and every winged bird of every kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them\, saying\, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas\, and let birds multiply on the earth.” And there was evening and there was morning\, the fifth day. And God said\, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.” And it was so. God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind\, and the cattle of every kind\, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good. 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. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished\, and all their multitude. And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done\, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it\, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation. These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. \n\n\n\n\nPsalm 136:1-9\,23-26\n\n\n\n\nGenesis 7:1-5\, 11-18; 8:6-18; 9:8-13 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe Lord said to Noah\, “Go into the ark\, you and all your household\, for I have seen that you alone are righteous before me in this generation. Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals\, the male and its mate; and a pair of the animals that are not clean\, the male and its mate; and seven pairs of the birds of the air also\, male and female\, to keep their kind alive on the face of all the earth. For in seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground.” And Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him. In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life\, in the second month\, on the seventeenth day of the month\, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth\, and the windows of the heavens were opened. The rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights. On the very same day Noah with his sons\, Shem and Ham and Japheth\, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons entered the ark\, they and every wild animal of every kind\, and all domestic animals of every kind\, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth\, and every bird of every kind—every bird\, every winged creature. They went into the ark with Noah\, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. And those that entered\, male and female of all flesh\, went in as God had commanded him; and the Lord shut him in. The flood continued forty days on the earth; and the waters increased\, and bore up the ark\, and it rose high above the earth. The waters swelled and increased greatly on the earth; and the ark floated on the face of the waters. At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made and sent out the raven; and it went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. Then he sent out the dove from him\, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground; but the dove found no place to set its foot\, and it returned to him to the ark\, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took it and brought it into the ark with him. He waited another seven days\, and again he sent out the dove from the ark; and the dove came back to him in the evening\, and there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf; so Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth. Then he waited another seven days\, and sent out the dove; and it did not return to him any more. In the six hundred first year\, in the first month\, the first day of the month\, the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark\, and looked\, and saw that the face of the ground was drying. In the second month\, on the twenty-seventh day of the month\, the earth was dry. Then God said to Noah\, “Go out of the ark\, you and your wife\, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you. Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—so that they may abound on the earth\, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” So Noah went out with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives. Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him\, “As for me\, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you\, and with every living creature that is with you\, the birds\, the domestic animals\, and every animal of the earth with you\, as many as came out of the ark. I establish my covenant with you\, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood\, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” God said\, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you\, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the clouds\, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.” \n\n\n\n\nPsalm 46\n\n\n\n\nGenesis 22:1-18 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nGod tested Abraham. He said to him\, “Abraham!” And he said\, “Here I am.” He said\, “Take your son\, your only son Isaac\, whom you love\, and go to the land of Moriah\, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I shall show you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning\, saddled his donkey\, and took two of his young men with him\, and his son Isaac; he cut the wood for the burnt offering\, and set out and went to the place in the distance that God had shown him. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place far away. Then Abraham said to his young men\, “Stay here with the donkey; the boy and I will go over there; we will worship\, and then we will come back to you.” Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac\, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. Isaac said to his father Abraham\, “Father!” And he said\, “Here I am\, my son.” He said\, “The fire and the wood are here\, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” Abraham said\, “God himself will provide the lamb for a burnt offering\, my son.” So the two of them walked on together. When they came to the place that God had shown him\, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood in order. He bound his son Isaac\, and laid him on the altar\, on top of the wood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to kill his son. But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven\, and said\, “Abraham\, Abraham!” And he said\, “Here I am.” He said\, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God\, since you have not withheld your son\, your only son\, from me.” And Abraham looked up and saw a ram\, caught in a thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place “The Lord will provide”; as it is said to this day\, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” The angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven\, and said\, “By myself I have sworn\, says the Lord: Because you have done this\, and have not withheld your son\, your only son\, I will indeed bless you\, and I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of their enemies\, and by your offspring shall all the nations of the earth gain blessing for themselves\, because you have obeyed my voice.” \n\n\n\n\nPsalm 16\n\n\n\n\nExodus 14:10-31; 15:20-21 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAs Pharaoh drew near\, the Israelites looked back\, and there were the Egyptians advancing on them. In great fear the Israelites cried out to the Lord. They said to Moses\, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us\, bringing us out of Egypt? Is this not the very thing we told you in Egypt\, ‘Let us alone and let us serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.” But Moses said to the people\, “Do not be afraid\, stand firm\, and see the deliverance that the Lord will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you\, and you have only to keep still.” Then the Lord said to Moses\, “Why do you cry out to me? Tell the Israelites to go forward. But you lift up your staff\, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it\, that the Israelites may go into the sea on dry ground. Then I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them; and so I will gain glory for myself over Pharaoh and all his army\, his chariots\, and his chariot drivers. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord\, when I have gained glory for myself over Pharaoh\, his chariots\, and his chariot drivers.” The angel of God who was going before the Israelite army moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from in front of them and took its place behind them. It came between the army of Egypt and the army of Israel. And so the cloud was there with the darkness\, and it lit up the night; one did not come near the other all night. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. The Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night\, and turned the sea into dry land; and the waters were divided. The Israelites went into the sea on dry ground\, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left. The Egyptians pursued\, and went into the sea after them\, all of Pharaoh’s horses\, chariots\, and chariot drivers. At the morning watch the Lord in the pillar of fire and cloud looked down upon the Egyptian army\, and threw the Egyptian army into panic. He clogged their chariot wheels so that they turned with difficulty. The Egyptians said\, “Let us flee from the Israelites\, for the Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.” Then the Lord said to Moses\, “Stretch out your hand over the sea\, so that the water may come back upon the Egyptians\, upon their chariots and chariot drivers.” So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea\, and at dawn the sea returned to its normal depth. As the Egyptians fled before it\, the Lord tossed the Egyptians into the sea. The waters returned and covered the chariots and the chariot drivers\, the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea; not one of them remained. But the Israelites walked on dry ground through the sea\, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left. Thus the Lord saved Israel that day from the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. Israel saw the great work that the Lord did against the Egyptians. So the people feared the Lord and believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses. Then the prophet Miriam\, Aaron’s sister\, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dancing. And Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord\, for he has triumphed gloriously; horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.” \n\n\n\n\nCanticle 8 (The Song of Moses\, Exodus 15:1-6\, 11-13\, 17-18)\n\n\n\n\nIsaiah 55:1-11 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nHo\, everyone who thirsts\, come to the waters; and you that have no money\, come\, buy and eat! Come\, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread\, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me\, and eat what is good\, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear\, and come to me; listen\, so that you may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant\, my steadfast\, sure love for David. See\, I made him a witness to the peoples\, a leader and commander for the peoples. See\, you shall call nations that you do not know\, and nations that do not know you shall run to you\, because of the Lord your God\, the Holy One of Israel\, for he has glorified you. Seek the Lord while he may be found\, call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake their way\, and the unrighteous their thoughts; let them return to the Lord\, that he may have mercy on them\, and to our God\, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts\, nor are your ways my ways\, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth\, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven\, and do not return there until they have watered the earth\, making it bring forth and sprout\, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater\, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty\, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose\, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it. \n\n\n\n\nCanticle 9 (The First Song of Isaiah\, Isaiah 12:2-6)\n\n\n\n\nBaruch 3:9-15\, 32—4:4 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nOr Proverbs 8:1-8\, 19-21; 9:4b-6 \n\n\n\nHear the commandments of life\, O Israel; give ear\, and learn wisdom! Why is it\, O Israel\, why is it that you are in the land of your enemies\, that you are growing old in a foreign country\, that you are defiled with the dead\, that you are counted among those in Hades? You have forsaken the fountain of wisdom. If you had walked in the way of God\, you would be living in peace forever. Learn where there is wisdom\, where there is strength\, where there is understanding\, so that you may at the same time discern where there is length of days\, and life\, where there is light for the eyes\, and peace. Who has found her place? And who has entered her storehouses? But the one who knows all things knows her\, he found her by his understanding. The one who prepared the earth for all time filled it with four-footed creatures; the one who sends forth the light\, and it goes; he called it\, and it obeyed him\, trembling; the stars shone in their watches\, and were glad; he called them\, and they said\, “Here we are!” They shone with gladness for him who made them. This is our God; no other can be compared to him. He found the whole way to knowledge\, and gave her to his servant Jacob and to Israel\, whom he loved. Afterward she appeared on earth and lived with humankind. She is the book of the commandments of God\, the law that endures forever. All who hold her fast will live\, and those who forsake her will die. Turn\, O Jacob\, and take her; walk toward the shining of her light. Do not give your glory to another\, or your advantages to an alien people. Happy are we\, O Israel\, for we know what is pleasing to God. \n\n\n\n\nPsalm 19\n\n\n\n\nProverbs 8:1-8\, 19-21; 9:4b-6 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nOr Baruch 3:9-15\, 32—4:4 (NRSV) \n\n\n\nDoes not wisdom call\, and does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights\, beside the way\, at the crossroads she takes her stand; beside the gates in front of the town\, at the entrance of the portals she cries out: “To you\, O people\, I call\, and my cry is to all that live. O simple ones\, learn prudence; acquire intelligence\, you who lack it. Hear\, for I will speak noble things\, and from my lips will come what is right; for my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them. My fruit is better than gold\, even fine gold\, and my yield than choice silver. I walk in the way of righteousness\, along the paths of justice\, endowing with wealth those who love me\, and filling their treasuries.” To those without sense she says\, “Come\, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. Lay aside immaturity\, and live\, and walk in the way of insight.” \n\n\n\n\nPsalm 19\n\n\n\n\nEzekiel 36:24-28 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nI will take you from the nations\, and gather you from all the countries\, and bring you into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water upon you\, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses\, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. A new heart I will give you\, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I will put my spirit within you\, and make you follow my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances. Then you shall live in the land that I gave to your ancestors; and you shall be my people\, and I will be your God. \n\n\n\n\nPsalm 42 and 43\n\n\n\n\nEzekiel 37:1-14\n\n\n\nThe hand of the Lord came upon me\, and he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me all around them; there were very many lying in the valley\, and they were very dry. He said to me\, “Mortal\, can these bones live?” I answered\, “O Lord God\, you know.” Then he said to me\, “Prophesy to these bones\, and say to them: O dry bones\, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you\, and you shall live. I will lay sinews on you\, and will cause flesh to come upon you\, and cover you with skin\, and put breath in you\, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord.” So I prophesied as I had been commanded; and as I prophesied\, suddenly there was a noise\, a rattling\, and the bones came together\, bone to its bone. I looked\, and there were sinews on them\, and flesh had come upon them\, and skin had covered them; but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me\, “Prophesy to the breath\, prophesy\, mortal\, and say to the breath: Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds\, O breath\, and breathe upon these slain\, that they may live.” I prophesied as he commanded me\, and the breath came into them\, and they lived\, and stood on their feet\, a vast multitude. Then he said to me\, “Mortal\, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say\, ‘Our bones are dried up\, and our hope is lost; we are cut off completely.’ Therefore prophesy\, and say to them\, Thus says the Lord God: I am going to open your graves\, and bring you up from your graves\, O my people; and I will bring you back to the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord\, when I open your graves\, and bring you up from your graves\, O my people. I will put my spirit within you\, and you shall live\, and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know that I\, the Lord\, have spoken and will act\,” says the Lord. \n\n\n\n\nPsalm 143\n\n\n\n\nZephaniah 3:14-20 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSing aloud\, O daughter Zion; shout\, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart\, O daughter Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away the judgments against you\, he has turned away your enemies. The king of Israel\, the Lord\, is in your midst; you shall fear disaster no more. On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: Do not fear\, O Zion; do not let your hands grow weak. The Lord\, your God\, is in your midst\, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness\, he will renew you in his love; he will exult over you with loud singing as on a day of festival. I will remove disaster from you\, so that you will not bear reproach for it. I will deal with all your oppressors at that time. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast\, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth. At that time I will bring you home\, at the time when I gather you; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth\, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes\, says the Lord. \n\n\n\n\nPsalm 98\n\n\n\n\nAt the Eucharist\n\n\n\nRomans 6:3-11 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nDo you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death\, so that\, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father\, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his\, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed\, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For whoever has died is freed from sin. But if we have died with Christ\, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ\, being raised from the dead\, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. The death he died\, he died to sin\, once for all; but the life he lives\, he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. \n\n\n\nPsalm 114 (BCP)\n\n\n\nIn exitu Israel \n\n\n\n1 Hallelujah!  When Israel came out of Egypt\, *       the house of Jacob from a people of strange speech\,2 Judah became God’s sanctuary *       and Israel his dominion.3 The sea beheld it and fled; *       Jordan turned and went back.4 The mountains skipped like rams\, *       and the little hills like young sheep.5 What ailed you\, O sea\, that you fled? *       O Jordan\, that you turned back?6 You mountains\, that you skipped like rams? *       you little hills like young sheep?7 Tremble\, O earth\, at the presence of the Lord\, *       at the presence of the God of Jacob\,8 Who turned the hard rock into a pool of water *      and flint-stone into a flowing spring. \n\n\n\nMatthew 28:1-10 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAfter the sabbath\, as the first day of the week was dawning\, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord\, descending from heaven\, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning\, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women\, “Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised\, as he said. Come\, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples\, ‘He has been raised from the dead\, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ This is my message for you.” So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy\, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them and said\, “Greetings!” And they came to him\, took hold of his feet\, and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them\, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.” \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.

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\nFirst Reading\n\n\n\nOne of the following. \n\n\n\nJob 14:1-14 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nA mortal\, born of woman\, few of days and full of trouble\, comes up like a flower and withers\, flees like a shadow and does not last. Do you fix your eyes on such a one? Do you bring me into judgment with you? Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one can. Since their days are determined\, and the number of their months is known to you\, and you have appointed the bounds that they cannot pass\, look away from them\, and desist\, that they may enjoy\, like laborers\, their days. For there is hope for a tree\, if it is cut down\, that it will sprout again\, and that its shoots will not cease. Though its root grows old in the earth\, and its stump dies in the ground\, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth branches like a young plant. But mortals die\, and are laid low; humans expire\, and where are they? As waters fail from a lake\, and a river wastes away and dries up\, so mortals lie down and do not rise again; until the heavens are no more\, they will not awake or be roused out of their sleep. Oh that you would hide me in Sheol\, that you would conceal me until your wrath is past\, that you would appoint me a set time\, and remember me! If mortals die\, will they live again? All the days of my service I would wait until my release should come. \n\n\n\nLamentations 3:1-9\,19-24 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nI am one who has seen affliction under the rod of God’s wrath; he has driven and brought me into darkness without any light; against me alone he turns his hand\, again and again\, all day long. He has made my flesh and my skin waste away\, and broken my bones; he has besieged and enveloped me with bitterness and tribulation; he has made me sit in darkness like the dead of long ago. He has walled me about so that I cannot escape; he has put heavy chains on me; though I call and cry for help\, he shuts out my prayer; he has blocked my ways with hewn stones\, he has made my paths crooked. The thought of my affliction and my homelessness is wormwood and gall!! My soul continually thinks of it and is bowed down within me. \n\n\n\nBut this I call to mind\, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases\, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion\,” says my soul\, “therefore I will hope in him.” \n\n\n\nPsalm 31:1-4\,15-16 (BCP)\n\n\n\n1 In you\, O Lord\, have I taken refuge;  let me never be put to shame; *       deliver me in your righteousness.2 Incline your ear to me; *       make haste to deliver me.3 Be my strong rock\, a castle to keep me safe\,  for you are my crag and my stronghold; *       for the sake of your Name\, lead me and guide me.4 Take me out of the net that they have secretly set for me\, *       for you are my tower of strength.15 My times are in your hand; *       rescue me from the hand of my enemies\,       and from those who persecute me.16 Make your face to shine upon your servant\, *       and in your loving-kindness save me.” \n\n\n\n1 Peter 4:1-8 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSince therefore Christ suffered in the flesh\, arm yourselves also with the same intention (for whoever has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin)\, so as to live for the rest of your earthly life no longer by human desires but by the will of God. You have already spent enough time in doing what the Gentiles like to do\, living in licentiousness\, passions\, drunkenness\, revels\, carousing\, and lawless idolatry. They are surprised that you no longer join them in the same excesses of dissipation\, and so they blaspheme. But they will have to give an accounting to him who stands ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was proclaimed even to the dead\, so that\, though they had been judged in the flesh as everyone is judged\, they might live in the spirit as God does. The end of all things is near; therefore be serious and discipline yourselves for the sake of your prayers. Above all\, maintain constant love for one another\, for love covers a multitude of sins. \n\n\n\nA reading from the Gospels\n\n\n\nOne of the following. \n\n\n\nMatthew 27:57-66 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nWhen it was evening\, there came a rich man from Arimathea\, named Joseph\, who was also a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb\, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there\, sitting opposite the tomb.The next day\, that is\, after the day of Preparation\, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said\, “Sir\, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive\, `After three days I will rise again.’ Therefore command the tomb to be made secure until the third day; otherwise his disciples may go and steal him away\, and tell the people\, `He has been raised from the dead\,’ and the last deception would be worse than the first.” Pilate said to them\, “You have a guard of soldiers; go\, make it as secure as you can.” So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone. \n\n\n\nJohn 19:38-42 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAfter these things\, Joseph of Arimathea\, who was a disciple of Jesus\, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews\, asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission; so he came and removed his body. Nicodemus\, who had at first come to Jesus by night\, also came\, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes\, weighing about a hundred pounds. They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in linen cloths\, according to the burial custom of the Jews. Now there was a garden in the place where he was crucified\, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. And so\, because it was the Jewish day of Preparation\, and the tomb was nearby\, they laid Jesus there. \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.

It recalls the day when the crucified Christ visited among the dead while his body lay in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. \n\n\n\nIn the Episcopal Church there is no Eucharist on Holy Saturday. The Book of Common Prayer provides a simple liturgy of the word with collect and readings for the Holy Saturday service. The funeral anthem “In the midst of life” is used instead of the prayers of the people. \n\n\n\nIn the ancient church\, those preparing for baptism and perhaps others continued the fast they began on Good Friday. Holy Saturday ends at sunset. Fasting and other preparations end at sunset or with the Easter Vigil\, which begins the celebration of Easter. \n\n\n\n(Taken from Holy Saturday) \n\n\n\nIn the midst of life\n\n\n\nIn the midst of life we are in death;from whom can we seek help?From you alone\, O Lord\,who by our sins are justly angered. \n\n\n\nHoly God\, Holy and Mighty\,Holy and merciful Savior\,deliver us not into the bitterness of eternal death. \n\n\n\nLord\, you know the secrets of our hearts;shut not your ears to our prayers\,but spare us\, O Lord. \n\n\n\nHoly God\, Holy and Mighty\,Holy and merciful Savior\,deliver us not into the bitterness of eternal death. \n\n\n\nO worthy and eternal Judge\,do not let the pains of deathturn us away from you at our last hour. \n\n\n\nHoly God\, Holy and Mighty\,Holy and merciful Savior\,deliver us not into the bitterness of eternal death.

It is also known as the Great Vigil of Easter. \n\n\n\nThe service begins in darkness sometime between sunset on Holy Saturday and sunrise on Easter Day. It consists of four parts: \n\n\n\n\nThe Service of Light. \n\nKindling of new fire\n\n\n\nLighting the Paschal candle\n\n\n\nThe Exsultet\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Service of Lessons. \n\nReadings from the Hebrew Scriptures interspersed with psalms\, canticles\, and prayers \n\n\n\n\n\nChristian Initiation (Holy Baptism) or the Renewal of Baptismal Vows. \n\n\n\nThe Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThis liturgy recovers an ancient practice of keeping the Easter feast. Believers would gather in the hours of darkness ending at dawn on Easter to hear scripture and offer prayer. This night-long service of prayerful watching anticipated the baptisms that would come at first light and the Easter Eucharist. \n\n\n\nEaster was the primary baptismal occasion for the early church to the practical exclusion of all others. This practice linked the meanings of Christ’s dying and rising to the understanding of baptism. \n\n\n\n(Taken from Easter Vigil) \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.

You know the message he sent to the people of Israel\, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all. That message spread throughout Judea\, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil\, for God was with him. We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear\, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses\, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.’ \n\n\n\nJeremiah 31:1-6 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAt that time\, says the Lord\, I will be the God of all the families of Israel\, and they shall be my people.Thus says the Lord:The people who survived the sword   found grace in the wilderness;when Israel sought for rest\,   the Lord appeared to him from far away.I have loved you with an everlasting love;   therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.Again I will build you\, and you shall be built\,   O virgin Israel!Again you shall take your tambourines\,   and go forth in the dance of the merrymakers.Again you shall plant vineyards   on the mountains of Samaria;the planters shall plant\,   and shall enjoy the fruit.For there shall be a day when sentinels will call   in the hill country of Ephraim:‘Come\, let us go up to Zion\,   to the Lord our God.’ \n\n\n\nResponse\n\n\n\nPsalm 118:1-2\,14-24 (BCP)\n\n\n\nConfitemini Domino \n\n\n\nGive thanks to the Lord\, for he is good; *    his mercy endures for ever.Let Israel now proclaim\, *    “His mercy endures for ever.”The Lord is my strength and my song\, *    and he has become my salvation.There is a sound of exultation and victory *    in the tents of the righteous:“The right hand of the Lord has triumphed! *    the right hand of the Lord is exalted! the right hand of the Lord has triumphed!”I shall not die\, but live\, *    and declare the works of the Lord.The Lord has punished me sorely\, *    but he did not hand me over to death.Open for me the gates of righteousness; *    I will enter them; I will offer thanks to the LORD.“This is the gate of the Lord; *    he who is righteous may enter.”I will give thanks to you\, for you answered me *    and have become my salvation.The same stone which the builders rejected *    has become the chief cornerstone.This is the Lord’s doing\, *    and it is marvelous in our eyes.On this day the Lord has acted; *    we will rejoice and be glad in it. \n\n\n\nSecond Lesson\n\n\n\nOne of the following lessons. \n\n\n\nColossians 3:1-4 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSo if you have been raised with Christ\, seek the things that are above\, where Christ is\, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above\, not on things that are on earth\, for you have died\, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life is revealed\, then you also will be revealed with him in glory. \n\n\n\nActs 10:34-43 (NRSV).\n\n\n\nThen Peter began to speak to them: ‘I truly understand that God shows no partiality\, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. You know the message he sent to the people of Israel\, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all. That message spread throughout Judea\, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil\, for God was with him. We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear\, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses\, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.’ \n\n\n\nGospel Lesson\n\n\n\nOne of the following. \n\n\n\nJohn 20:1-18 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nEarly on the first day of the week\, while it was still dark\, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple\, the one whom Jesus loved\, and said to them\, ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb\, and we do not know where they have laid him.’ Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went towards the tomb. The two were running together\, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there\, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came\, following him\, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there\, and the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head\, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple\, who reached the tomb first\, also went in\, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the scripture\, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples returned to their homes.But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept\, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white\, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying\, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her\, ‘Woman\, why are you weeping?’ She said to them\, ‘They have taken away my Lord\, and I do not know where they have laid him.’ When she had said this\, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there\, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her\, ‘Woman\, why are you weeping? For whom are you looking?’ Supposing him to be the gardener\, she said to him\, ‘Sir\, if you have carried him away\, tell me where you have laid him\, and I will take him away.’ Jesus said to her\, ‘Mary!’ She turned and said to him in Hebrew\, ‘Rabbouni!’ (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her\, ‘Do not hold on to me\, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them\, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father\, to my God and your God.” ’ Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples\, ‘I have seen the Lord’; and she told them that he had said these things to her. \n\n\n\nMatthew 28:1-10 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAfter the sabbath\, as the first day of the week was dawning\, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord\, descending from heaven\, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning\, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women\, “Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised\, as he said. Come\, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples\, ‘He has been raised from the dead\, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ This is my message for you.” So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy\, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them and said\, “Greetings!” And they came to him\, took hold of his feet\, and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them\, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.” \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.

We look forward to seeing you at this 8:00 am Sunday service of Holy Eucharist for the Sunday of the Resurrection\, or Easter Day 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\nEaster\n\n\n\nEaster is the feast of Christ’s resurrection. \n\n\n\nAccording to the Venerable Bede\, the word ‘Easter’ derives from the Anglo-Saxon spring goddess Eostre. Bede wrote that the month of April was was called Eosturmonath\, after Eostre. Some scholars debate this\, as Bede is the only historical source for this reason. \n\n\n\nThe more linguistic derivation of the name Easter comes from likely sharing a root with the Proto-Germanic word ‘austron\,’ meaning “dawn.” That word is also the root for the word “east.” \n\n\n\nEaster Day is the annual feast of the resurrection\, the pascha or Christian Passover\, and the eighth day of cosmic creation. Faith in Jesus’ resurrection on the Sunday or third day following his crucifixion is at the heart of Christian belief. Easter sets the experience of springtime next to the ancient stories of deliverance and the proclamation of the risen Christ. \n\n\n\nIn the west\, Easter occurs on the first Sunday after the full moon on or after the vernal equinox. Easter always falls between March 22 and April 25\, inclusive. Following Jewish custom\, the feast begins at sunset on Easter Eve with the Great Vigil of Easter. \n\n\n\nThe Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates Easter on the first Sunday after the Jewish pesach or Passover\, which follows the spring full moon. Although the two dates sometimes coincide\, the eastern date is often one or more weeks later. \n\n\n\nEaster also refers to the season of 50 days starting on Easter Day. The Ester season lasts through the Day of Pentecost. \n\n\n\n(Taken from Easter and Easter.) \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\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

Lights may be turned off or dimmed during the meditation.\n\n\n\nCandlelight: The meeting is conducted partly or entirely by candlelight.\n\n\n\n\nAbout C.A.\n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous is a Fellowship of men and women who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from their addiction. \n\n\n\nThe best way to reach someone is to speak to them on a common level. The members of C.A. are all recovering addicts who maintain their individual sobriety by working with others. We come from various social\, ethnic\, economic and religious backgrounds\, but what we have in common is addiction. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. \n\n\n\nAnyone who wants to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances (including alcohol and other drugs) is welcome. \n\n\n\nThere are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully self-supporting through our own contributions. \n\n\n\nWe do ask for voluntary contributions at meetings to cover expenses such as coffee\, rent\, literature and services to help those who are still suffering. However\, newcomers need not feel obligated to contribute. We do not accept donations from organizations or individuals outside the Fellowship. \n\n\n\nWe are not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nIn order to maintain our integrity and avoid any possible complications\, we are not affiliated with any outside organization. Although C.A. is a spiritual program\, we do not align ourselves with any religion. Our members are free to define their spirituality as they see fit. Our individual members may have opinions of their own\, but C.A. as a whole has no opinion on outside issues. We are not affiliated with any rehabs\, recovery houses or hospitals\, but many do refer their patients to Cocaine Anonymous to maintain their sobriety. \n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances and to help others achieve the same freedom. \n\n\n\nThe only purpose of Cocaine Anonymous is to offer recovery to individuals who are suffering from addiction. Our experience has shown that the most effective way to attain and maintain sobriety is to work with others suffering from the same malady. \n\n\n\nWe use the Twelve-Step recovery program because it has already been proven that the Twelve-Step recovery program works. \n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\nWelcome to Cocaine Anonymous . We are all here for the same reason—our inability to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. The first step towards solving any problem is admitting that there is a problem. \n\n\n\n12 steps of Cocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\n\nWe admitted we were powerless over cocaine and all other mind-altering substances—that our lives had become unmanageable.\n\n\n\nCame to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.\n\n\n\nMade a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.\n\n\n\nMade a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.\n\n\n\nAdmitted to God\, to ourselves\, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.\n\n\n\nWere entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.\n\n\n\nHumbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.\n\n\n\nMade a list of all persons we had harmed\, and became willing to make amends to them all.\n\n\n\nMade direct amends to such people wherever possible\, except when to do so would injure them or others.\n\n\n\nContinued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.\n\n\n\nSought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him\, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.\n\n\n\nHaving had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps\, we tried to carry this message to addicts\, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

We are going to call our rebirth choir Remington Drive Irregulars. This name comes from the historic name of 181st Street\, which provides the south boundary of the Redeemer campus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe choir draws repertoire from the Sacred Harp tradition\, Taizé\, rounds\, and chant. Scheduled rehearsals are set for 7:00 pm on most Tuesdays. \n\n\n\nSelect the following to volunteer for the few\, the proud\, the Remington Drive Irregulars. \n\n\n\n\nSign up for the Remington Drive Irregulars\n\n\n\n\nVolunteering lets us know how much music to prepare. You will not commit to singing every Sunday for life by doing this. We expect to have “rotating” attendance in the choir. \n\n\n\nBenefits of singing in a choir\n\n\n\nSinging in a choir offers significant mental\, social\, and physical benefits\, such as the following: \n\n\n\n\nReducing stress and anxiety\n\n\n\nBoosting mood and self-esteem\n\n\n\nFostering a sense of community\n\n\n\nImproving cognitive skills like memory and music reading\n\n\n\nStrengthening respiratory and immune systems \n\n\n\n\nChoral singing can also improve heart function\, increase pain thresholds\, and provide a powerful sense of belonging and social connection.  \n\n\n\nThese articles back up those claims: \n\n\n\n\nChoir singing improves health\, happiness – and is the perfect icebreaker (University of Oxford)\n\n\n\n13 health (physical\, mental\, and social) benefits of choir singing: Choral singing is good for you\, your physical and mental health\, and social life (Interkultur)\n\n\n\nThe Mental-Health Benefits of Singing in a Choir: A body of research finds singing in a group boosts mood\, outlook\, and health (Psychology Today)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the Venite\, exultemus (Psalm 95) in the Book of Common Prayer: \n\n\n\n\nCome\, let us sing to the Lord; *     let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *     and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

Please contact Alcoholics Anonymous for more information. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nWhat is Alcoholics Anonymous?\n\n\n\nAlcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy\, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. \n\n\n\nWhat A.A. does do: \n\n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.\n\n\n\nA.A. members share their experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person service or “sponsorship” to the alcoholic coming to A.A. from any source.\n\n\n\nThe A.A. program\, set forth in our Twelve Steps\, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.\n\n\n\n\nThis program is discussed at A.A. group meetings. \n\n\n\n\nOpen speaker meetings — open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics. (Attendance at an open A.A. meeting is the best way to learn what A.A. is\, what it does\, and what it does not do.) At speaker meetings\, A.A. members “tell their stories.” They describe their experiences with alcohol\, how they came to A.A.\, and how their lives have changed as a result of Alcoholics Anonymous.\n\n\n\nOpen discussion meetings — one member speaks briefly about his or her drinking experience\, and then leads a discussion on A.A. recovery or any drinking-related problem anyone brings up. (Closed meetings are for A.A.s or anyone who may have a drinking problem.)\n\n\n\nClosed discussion meetings — conducted just as open discussions are\, but for alcoholics or prospective A.A.s only.\n\n\n\nStep meetings (usually closed) — discussion of one of the Twelve Steps.
