Fifth Sunday after Pentecost: Proper 10
July 14, 2019, at Eleven o’clock in the Morning
We are glad you are here. No matter who you are, no matter where you
come from, and no matter where you are on the journey of life — you are
welcome in this church. We invite you to participate in our worship service,
or simply observe, as you wish.
We hope you will find Saint Paul’s to be a place of refreshment and renewal,
where you experience the presence of the risen Christ. We have been serving
Christ in this location for over two hundred sixty years. The monuments
in our church and the graves in our churchyard reflect the conflicts and
complexities of our nation’s and our city’s history. While our building is old
and beautiful, our mission is contemporary and forward moving. Here you
will find a people very much connected with the questions and struggles of
modern life and faith and of following the way of Jesus.
We are a community called to serve those in need in our city, in our nation,
and around the world. Here you will find ministries with and for children,
youth, parents, seniors, singles, and families in all configurations and stages
of life.
We invite you to share your contact information on a visitor’s card, located
in each pew. Hand it to one of our clergy, an usher, or place it in the offering
plate.To all our Visitors & Guests
About Worship
If the liturgy (worship) of the Episcopal Church is unfamiliar, then we hope you will find this
information helpful.
You are welcome in the Episcopal Church, and so the first and best resource we offer are your
neighbors in the pews. Just say, "I'm visiting," and they will gladly help.
The worship of the Episcopal Church is rooted in the practices of ancient Christianity. The structure
of our services, the architecture of our building, the music, our physical postures, and participatory
responses ALL hold rich meaning about our beliefs and are intentional expressions of our
relationship with God.
• In this bulletin you will find:
Responses spoken by the people are printed in bold italics.
Directions for the people are printed in italics.
• We encourage families with children to sit at the front of the Nave so that children can easily see
and hear the liturgy.
• Children’s coloring sheets matching the day’s readings are available from the ushers.
• Episcopalians customarily pray either standing or kneeling, so please do what you find most
comfortable.
• Notify an usher if you require an assisted listening device or any other assistance.

About Receiving The Holy Communion
ALL who come in faith are invited to receive Holy Communion at Saint Paul’s.
• During communion, the people form two short lines in the center aisle at the steps. After
receiving the bread and wine or a blessing at the altar rail, please exit through the door to the
left of the altar and return to your pew via the side aisles.
• For those who may prefer not to receive communion at the main altar, a communion station is
provided on the main floor to the right of the center aisle. If you are unable to receive at either
station, the clergy will bring the bread and wine to your pew. Please notify an usher before the
service begins.
• To receive a blessing at the altar rail without receiving Communion, cross your arms over your
chest, palms on your collar, until the person on your left has received both the bread and the
wine.
• If your children are in the nursery, you are invited to bring them to receive Holy Communion or a
blessing.Celebration of The Holy Eucharist: Rite Two

O Lord, mercifully receive the prayers of your people who call upon you, and grant that they may

accomplish them; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.The Old Testament Lesson Deuteronomy 30:9-14
Moses said to the people of Israel, “The Lord your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all your
undertakings, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your soil. For the Lord
will again take delight in prospering you, just as he delighted in prospering your ancestors, when you obey the
Lord your God by observing his commandments and decrees that are written in this book of the law, because
you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
“Surely, this commandment that I am commanding you today is not too hard for you, nor is it too far away. It
is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it
and observe it?’ Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will cross to the other side of the sea
for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?’ No, the word is very near to you; it is in your
mouth and in your heart for you to observe.”

Psalm 25:1-9 Read responsively by whole verse
1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;
my God, I put my trust in you; *
let me not be humiliated,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
2 Let none who look to you be put to shame; *
let the treacherous be disappointed in their schemes.
3 Show me your ways, O Lord, *
and teach me your paths.
4 Lead me in your truth and teach me, *
for you are the God of my salvation;
in you have I trusted all the day long.
5 Remember, O Lord, your compassion and love, *
for they are from everlasting.
6 Remember not the sins of my youth and my transgressions; *
remember me according to your love
and for the sake of your goodness, O Lord.
7 Gracious and upright is the Lord; *
therefore he teaches sinners in his way.
8 He guides the humble in doing right *
and teaches his way to the lowly.
9 All the paths of the Lord are love and faithfulness *
to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.The Epistle Colossians 1:1-14
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
To the saints and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ in Colossae:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
In our prayers for you we always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for we have heard of your
faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in
heaven. You have heard of this hope before in the word of the truth, the gospel that has come to you. Just as
it is bearing fruit and growing in the whole world, so it has been bearing fruit among yourselves from the day
you heard it and truly comprehended the grace of God. This you learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow
servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, and he has made known to us your love in the Spirit.
For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be
filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may lead lives
worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowl-
edge of God. May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you
be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled
you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has rescued us from the power of darkness and
transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Celebrant The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.
People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” He said
to him, “What is written in the law? What do you read there?” He answered, “You shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your
neighbor as yourself.” And he said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.”
But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man was going
down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went
away, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he
passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the
other side. But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity.
He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own
animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the
innkeeper, and said, `Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.’
Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” He
said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
Celebrant The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.
The Sermon The Reverend John W. A. Jenkins
The Nicene Creed All Stand
All 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.The Prayers of the People - Form VI Kneeling, the Leader and People pray responsively:

Celebrant It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth. … [the Celebrant says a Proper Preface] …. Therefore we praise you,
joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing
this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:
Sanctus and Benedictus S-125, by Richard Proulx

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Ho -
san - na in the high - est. Ho - san - na in the high - est.
Please kneel as you are able.
Celebrant We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in
creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and
above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate
from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from
evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out
of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.Celebrant On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks
to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for
you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”
After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said,
“Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for
the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”
Therefore, according to his command, O Father,
All We remember his death,
We proclaim his resurrection,
We await his coming in glory;
Celebrant And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your
creation, this bread and this wine.
We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament
of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that
we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all
things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with Saint Paul
and all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus
Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation.
By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty
Father, now and for ever. AMEN.
Celebrant And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
The Lord’s Prayer
All Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth
as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those
who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
The Breaking of the Bread and Invitation
Celebrant Alleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;
People Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia.
Celebrant This is the table, not of the Church, but of the Lord. It is made ready for those who love him and for
those who want to love him more. So, come, you who have much faith and you who have little, you
who have been here often and you who have not been here long, you who have tried to follow and
you who have failed. Come, because it is the Lord who invites you. It is his will that those who want
him should meet him here.
All who come in faith are welcome to receive Holy Communion.The Communion Music Prelude on “Slane” Paul Manz
