St. Alban’s is an Episcopal Church, part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Worship
in our tradition is liturgical, which means that we use written prayers. This is an ancient
and biblical way to pray. The liturgy makes worship something everybody does, not just the
minister up front. It helps us when our own words fail. It ensures we receive a steady diet of
God’s Word. And it reminds us every week of God’s grace in Jesus Christ.

                                       NEW HERE?
Please scan the QR code or complete the “Hello” card located in the pew racks so
we can get to know you. If you have any questions, our ushers and ministers are
here to help. After the service, stop by our welcome station for a St. Alban’s tote.
How We Worship: We worship in heart, body, and mind. To help, we sometimes kneel or
stand. At other times we make the sign of the cross, as denoted by the   symbol, to remind
us Christ is for us. Such actions are not required. In the Episcopal Church, “all may, some
should, none must.”
ADVENT | CHRISTMAS | EPIPHANY | LENT | EASTER | PENTECOST
Our church follows the Christian year (also called the Church year). For millennia, Christians
have used this system to organize each year around the life of Christ. The Church Year begins
with Advent, as we wait for the arrival of Jesus celebrated at Christmas. During Epiphany, we
celebrate Christ revealing himself to the world. In Lent, we prepare for the remembrance of
Christ's death during Holy Week and resurrection at Easter. On Pentecost, we remember the
coming of the Holy Spirit, who sustains us in our life in Christ during the season known as
Ordinary time.
Restrooms: Located in the narthex (the lobby) at the back of the church; additional restrooms

                              Today is the feast of Pentecost when we
                              remember the gift of the Holy Spirit to the
                              early Christians. Some wear red to recall the
                              tongues of fire that appeared on the heads of
                              the disciples.

                               Thank you for not bringing food
                                  or drink into the church.

THE WORD OF GOD
The First Lesson                                                          Acts 2:1-21

Lector			 A reading from Acts.

  When the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one place.
  And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind,
  and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire,
  appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were
  filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit
  gave them ability.

  Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in
  Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because
  each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and
  astonished, they asked, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how
  is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes,
  Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and
  Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene,
  and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—in our
  own languages we hear them speaking about God's deeds of power." All were
  amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" But others
  sneered and said, "They are filled with new wine."

  But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, "Men
  of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to
  what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o'clock
  in the morning. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

  `In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all
  flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men
  shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves,
  both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall
  prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth
  below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and
  the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord's great and glorious day. Then
  everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' "

The Psalm is read responsively by whole verse.

Psalm 104:25-32, 34                     Benedic, anima mea

  25      O Lord, how manifold are your works! *
		        in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

  26      Yonder is the great and wide sea
		        with its living things too many to number, *
		        creatures both small and great.

  27      There move the ships, and there is that Leviathan, *
		        which you have made for the sport of it.

  28      All of them look to you *
		        to give them their food in due season.

  29      You give it to them; they gather it; *
		        you open your hand, and they are filled with good things.

  30      You hide your face, and they are terrified; *
		        you take away their breath, and they die and return to their dust.

  31      You send forth your Spirit, and they are created; *
		        and so you renew the face of the earth.

  32      May the glory of the Lord endure for ever; *
		        may the Lord rejoice in all his works.

  34      I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; *
		        I will praise my God while I have my being.

Lector			 A reading from Romans.

    All who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive
    a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption.
    When we cry, "Abba! Father!" it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit
    that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint
    heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified
    with him.

Deacon		   The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. John.
People 			 Glory to you, Lord Christ.

   Philip said to Jesus, "Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied." Jesus
   said to him, "Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know
   me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, `Show us the
   Father'? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The
   words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in
   me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but
   if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves. Very truly, I tell
   you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will
   do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever
   you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my name
   you ask me for anything, I will do it.

   "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father,
   and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. This is the Spirit
   of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows
   him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you."

   "I have said these things to you while I am still with you. But the Advocate, the
   Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything,
   and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace
   I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be
   troubled, and do not let them be afraid."

The Nicene Creed                                                      BCP 358

    We believe in one God,
    		 the Father, the Almighty,
    		 maker of heaven and earth,
    		 of all that is, seen and unseen.

    We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
    		 the only Son of God,
    		 eternally begotten of the Father,
    		 God from God, Light from Light,
    		 true God from true God,
    		 begotten, not made,
    		 of one Being with the Father.
    		 Through him all things were made.
    		 For us and for our salvation
    		   he came down from heaven:
    		 by the power of the Holy Spirit
          he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
         and was made man.
    For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
    		 he suffered death and was buried.
    		 On the third day he rose again
    		   in accordance with the Scriptures;
    		 he ascended into heaven
    		   and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
    		 He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
    		   and his kingdom will have no end.

    We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
    		 who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
    		 With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
    		 He has spoken through the Prophets.
    		 We believe in one holy catholic* and apostolic Church.
    		 We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
    		 We look for the resurrection of the dead,
    		  and the life of the world to come. Amen.

pray to you, O Lord.
Lord, have mercy.

For all who have died in the communion of your Church, and those whose faith is
known to you alone, that, with all the saints, they may have rest in that place where
there is no pain or grief, but life eternal, we pray to you, O Lord.
Lord, have mercy.

Rejoicing in the fellowship of St. Barnabas and all the saints, let us commend
ourselves, and one another, and all our life to Christ our God.

Confession of Sin

The Deacon says
Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.

Silence may be kept.

Minister and People
Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word,
and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not
loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We
are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have
mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your
ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

The Celebrant says
Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus
Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you
in eternal life. Amen.

The Comfortable Words
Called the “comfortable words” since the 16th century because of their ability to give comfort, these Bible verses
(Matthew 11:28, John 3:16, 1 Timothy 1:15, 1 John 2:1-2) are a cherished part of Anglican liturgy.

The Peace

Celebrant		 The peace of the Lord be always with you.

Parish Announcements

    the lectern.

    the cup is presented.
• If you are a person with a mobility disability, Communion will be brought to you.

Offertory Anthem                           Spirit of God              Donald Hustad (1918-2013)

    Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; wean it from sin, through all its pulses
    move; stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art, and make me love Thee, as I
    ought to love.

    I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, no sudden rending of the veil of clay, no
    angel visitant, no opening skies; but take the dimness of my soul away.

    Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to
    bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; teach me the patience of
    unanswered prayer.

    Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love, one holy passion filling my frame;
    The baptism of the heav'n descended Dove, my heart an altar, and Thy love the
    flame.

                                                 17
All stand as the offering is brought forward.

    				 For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
    					 and the glory,
    				 for ever and ever. Amen.

Communion Motet                       The lone, wild bird        Carl Strommen (b. 1939)

    The lone, wild bird in lofty flight is still with thee, nor leaves thy sight. And I am
    thine! I rest in thee, great spirit, come, and rest in me.

    thine! I rest in thee great spirit come, and rest in me.

Let us pray

Celebrant and People

    Eternal God, heavenly Father,

    of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ,

    with gladness and singleness of heart;
    through Christ our Lord. Amen.
