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.

The link to the service live cast is on the Welcome page of this website. \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 Vigil\n\n\n\nThe liturgy of the Easter Vigil is the first and primary celebration of Easter. 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. 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 .)

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 .)

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.

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.

But God raised him up\, having freed him from death\, because it was impossible for him to be held in its power. For David says concerning him\,“I saw the Lord always before me\,   for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken;therefore my heart was glad\, and my tongue rejoiced;   moreover\, my flesh will live in hope.For you will not abandon my soul to Hades\,   or let your Holy One experience corruption.You have made known to me the ways of life;   you will make me full of gladness with your presence.”‘Fellow Israelites\, I may say to you confidently of our ancestor David that he both died and was buried\, and his tomb is with us to this day. Since he was a prophet\, he knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would put one of his descendants on his throne. Foreseeing this\, David spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah\, saying\,“He was not abandoned to Hades\,   nor did his flesh experience corruption.”This Jesus God raised up\, and of that all of us are witnesses. \n\n\n\nPsalm 16 (BCP)\n\n\n\nConserva me\, Domine \n\n\n\nProtect me\, O God\, for I take refuge in you; *   I have said to the Lord\, “You are my Lord\, my good above all other.”All my delight is upon the godly that are in the land\, *   upon those who are noble among the people.But those who run after other gods *   shall have their troubles multiplied.Their libations of blood I will not offer\, *   nor take the names of their gods upon my lips.O Lord\, you are my portion and my cup; *   it is you who uphold my lot.My boundaries enclose a pleasant land; *   indeed\, I have a goodly heritage.I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel; *   my heart teaches me\, night after night.I have set the Lord always before me; *   because he is at my right hand I shall not fall.My heart\, therefore\, is glad\, and my spirit rejoices; *   my body also shall rest in hope.For you will not abandon me to the grave\, *   nor let your holy one see the Pit.You will show me the path of life; *   in your presence there is fullness of joy\, and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore. \n\n\n\n1 Peter 1:3-9 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead\, and into an inheritance that is imperishable\, undefiled\, and unfading\, kept in heaven for you\, who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice\, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials\, so that the genuineness of your faith—being more precious than gold that\, though perishable\, is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed. Although you have not seen him\, you love him; and even though you do not see him now\, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy\, for you are receiving the outcome of your faith\, the salvation of your souls. \n\n\n\nJohn 20:19-31 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nWhen it was evening on that day\, the first day of the week\, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews\, Jesus came and stood among them and said\, ‘Peace be with you.’ After he said this\, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again\, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me\, so I send you.’ When he had said this\, he breathed on them and said to them\, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any\, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any\, they are retained.’But Thomas (who was called the Twin)\, one of the twelve\, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him\, ‘We have seen the Lord.’ But he said to them\, ‘Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands\, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side\, I will not believe.’A week later his disciples were again in the house\, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut\, Jesus came and stood among them and said\, ‘Peace be with you.’ Then he said to Thomas\, ‘Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.’ Thomas answered him\, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him\, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.’Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples\, which are not written in this book. But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah\, the Son of God\, and that through believing you may have life in his name. \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\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 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.

We are going to call our rebirth choir Remington Drive Irregulars.

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.

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\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 .)

We look forward to seeing you at this 10:30 am service of Holy Eucharist at Church of the Redeemer. \n\n\n\nIt is in-person and on-line. The link to the service live cast is on the Welcome page of this website. \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\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 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.

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.
