Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken.

Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.
Psalm 24
The Psalm is read responsively by half verse, breaking at the asterisk. The leader reads the first line, and the congregation
responds with the next line.
1 The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, *
the world and all who dwell therein.
2 For it is God who founded it upon the seas *
and made it firm upon the rivers of the deep.
3 “Who can ascend the hill of the Lord? *
and who can stand in the Lord’s holy place?”
4 “Those who have clean hands and a pure heart, *
who have not pledged themselves to falsehood, nor sworn by what is a fraud.
5 They shall receive a blessing from the Lord*
and a just reward from the God of their salvation.”
6 Such is the generation of those who seek the Lord, *
of those who seek your face, O God of Jacob.
7 Lift up your heads, O gates; lift them high, O everlasting doors; *
and the King of glory shall come in.
8 “Who is this King of glory?” *
“The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle.”
9 Lift up your heads, O gates; lift them high, O everlasting doors; *
and the King of glory shall come in.
10 “Who is this King of glory?” *
“The Lord of hosts, God is the King of glory.”
The Second Lesson Revelation 21:1-6a
I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,
and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of
heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice
from the throne saying, “See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as
their God; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear
from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for
the first things have passed away.” And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See, I am
making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
Then he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.”
Reader The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.Please stand, as you are able, and turn to face the Gospel Book as it is processed down the aisle. The Gradual Hymn 293 Words: Lesbia Scott (b. 1898), alt.

The Hymnal 1982. The Holy Gospel John 11:32-44 Celebrant The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. People Glory to you, Lord Christ. When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” Jesus began to weep. So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?” Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days.” Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked
upward and said, “Father, I thank you for having heard me. I knew that you always hear me,
but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you
sent me.” When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead
man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth.
Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

The Sermon The Rev. Russell Bohner
The Nicene Creed
Please stand, as you are able. Said together
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,
who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified,
who 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 The Reader leads the prayers.

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.

Reprinted under ONE LICENSE.#A-730475. The Hymnal 1982. The Celebrant continues You are worthy, O God, to be worshiped by all you have made. For by sin, the world was blinded, and by sin, we lost our way. Yet you did not leave us lost. Through your Son, Jesus Christ, you revealed the light of your love. As one of us, Jesus walked among us. Proclaiming the Kingdom of God, Jesus revealed your glory, full of grace and truth. Yet the world rejected him, opposing his mission and witness. On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, 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 Jesus took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to his friends, 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.” Almighty God, we praise you for your love and mercy revealed in Jesus Christ. Remembering his death, rejoicing in his resurrection and ascension, and awaiting his return in glory, we offer to you all that we have and all that we are. Let your Holy Spirit come upon this bread and wine, and make them the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Send your Spirit upon us, that we may live as your children and serve the world in your name. Said together Unite us to your Son, our Lord, who brings us out of darkness and into the light of life. The Celebrant elevates the consecrated bread and wine and says All this we ask through our Savior Jesus Christ, by whom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. People AMEN. The Celebrant says And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
Said together
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 Celebrant breaks the consecrated bread, saying
Alleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;
People Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia.
The Celebrant elevates the consecrated gifts, saying
The Gifts of God for the People of God.
People Thanks be to God.

And since I cannot receive you today in the Sacrament of your Body and Blood, I beseech you to come spiritually into my heart. Cleanse and strengthen me with your grace, Lord Jesus, and let me never be separated from you. May I live in you, and you in me, in this life and in the life to come. Amen. The Post-Communion Prayer Please stand, as you are able. The Celebrant says Let us pray.

Empower us by your Holy Spirit to love mercy, do justice, and walk humbly with you, our God. Help us to follow you with all your saints who magnify your holy Name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

WELCOME TO SAINT ANNE’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH
If you are visiting and would like more information about Saint Anne’s, please complete the yellow card
found in the pews and place it in the offering plate or hand it to an usher.25th Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner Nov. 28 - Noon to 3 PM
This dinner is only made possible through the generosity of our community. Donations are
greatly appreciated and may be dropped off on Sunday mornings, or at the church office
during normal business hours. A detailed list of needed food items is in The Messenger. If you
would like more information about the event or to volunteer to help, please talk to Jessie
Ventura, or call the Church Office: 302-378-2401.
2025 Pledge Campaign
Saint Anne’s has begun the 2025 Pledge Campaign. Every fall, Saint Anne’s parishioners make
a financial Pledge to support the church in the upcoming calendar year. A financial Pledge is a
promise to the church and a sign of our commitment to and membership in Saint Anne’s. Our
Pledge represents the total monetary amount we will give Saint Anne’s in the following year.
To continue in worship, mission, and ministry, Saint Anne’s depends on the generous
financial contributions of its members. Pledged income makes up the majority of the church’s
annual budget. Despite national trends of congregational decline across Christian
denominations, Saint Anne’s continues to flourish. Such flourishing does not occur without
the robust financial support of church members.
In discerning your 2025 Pledge, the church leadership invites you to consider what Saint
Anne’s means to you personally and what Saint Anne’s means to our church family and the
neighbors and communities we serve. As Saint Anne’s grows in worship, mission, and ministry,
so do the costs associated with such growth continue to increase.
To submit your Pledge, please choose one of these two options. 1) Complete a 2025 Pledge
Card and drop it off at the church or mail it using a self-addressed stamped envelope (included
with this letter). 2) Email your 2025 Pledge to Finance@SaintAnnes.Church, and designate if
your pledge amount is weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually.
If you have questions about pledging, please speak with Eric Finch (Senior Warden), Diane
Dudderar (Junior Warden), Lisa Elder (Treasurer), or a member of the Vestry. Thank you for
your commitment to and support of Saint Anne’s Episcopal Church, our Christian home.
