Greeting and Welcome
Prelude
Hymn 427: “When morning gilds the skies” Laudes Domini
1 When morning gilds the skies, 4 Ye nations of mankind,
my heart, awaking, cries, in this your concord find:
may Jesus Christ be praised! may Jesus Christ be praised!
When evening shadows fall, Let all the earth around
this rings my curfew call, ring joyous with the sound:
may Jesus Christ be praised! may Jesus Christ be praised!
2 When mirth for music longs, 5 Sing, suns and stars of space,
this is my song of songs: sing, ye that see his face,
may Jesus Christ be praised! sing, Jesus Christ be praised!
God's holy house of prayer God's whole creation o'er,
hath none that can compare with: both now and evermore
Jesus Christ be praised! shall Jesus Christ be praised!
3 No lovelier antiphon
in all high heaven is known
than, Jesus Christ be praised!
There to the eternal Word
the eternal psalm is heard:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Opening Acclamation
Celebrant: Blessed be the one, holy, and living God.
People: Glory to God, for ever and ever.
Celebrant: Jesus said, “The first commandment is this: Hear, O Israel: The Lord
your God is the only Lord. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all
your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: Love
your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:29-31The Confession Celebrant: Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. All: God of all mercy, we confess that we have sinned against you, opposing your will in our lives. We have denied your goodness in each other, in our- selves, and in the world you have created. We repent of the evil that enslaves us, the evil we have done, and the evil done on our behalf. Forgive, restore, and strengthen us through our Savior Jesus Christ, that we may abide in your love and serve only your will. Amen. Celebrant: 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. Song of Praise: 122 (St. 1): “Alleluia, song of gladness” Urbs Beata Jerusalem Alleluia, song of gladness, voice of joy that cannot die; alleluia is the anthem ever raised by choirs on high; in the house of God abiding thus they sing eternally. The Word of God Celebrant: God be with you. People: And also with you. Celebrant: Let us pray. The Celebrant says the Collect (Prayer) of the Day BCP 217 O God, who before the passion of your only-begotten Son revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
II Kings 2:1 - 12 Common English Bible translation (CEB) Now the Lord was going to take Elijah up to heaven in a windstorm, and Elijah and Elisha were leaving Gilgal. Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because the Lord has sent me to Bethel.” But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives and as you live, I won’t leave you.” So they went down to Bethel. The group of prophets from Bethel came out to Elisha. These prophets said to Elisha, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master away from you today?” Elisha said, “Yes, I know. Don’t talk about it!” Elijah said, “Elisha, stay here, because the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives and as you live, I won’t leave you.” So they went to Jericho. The group of prophets from Jericho approached Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master away from you today?” He said, “Yes, I know. Don’t talk about it!” Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives and as you live, I won’t leave you.” So both of them went on togeth- er. Fifty members from the group of prophets also went along, but they stood at a distance. Both Elijah and Elisha stood beside the Jordan River. Elijah then took his coat, rolled it up, and hit the water. Then the water was divided in two! Both of them crossed over on dry ground. When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “What do you want me to do for you before I’m taken away from you?” Elisha said, “Let me have twice your spirit.” Elijah said, “You’ve made a difficult request. If you can see me when I’m taken from you, then it will be yours. If you don’t see me, it won’t happen.” They were walking along, talking, when sud- denly a fiery chariot and fiery horses appeared and separated the two of them. Then Elijah went to heaven in a windstorm. Elisha was watching, and he cried out, “Oh, my father, my father! Israel’s chariots and its riders!” When he could no longer see him, Elisha took hold of his clothes and ripped them in two. Reader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People. People: Thanks be to God. Gospel Alleluia: “Arise, shine, for your light has come” Arise shine Refrain only, Sung twice Arise, shine, for your light has come, his glory is upon you. The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ according to Mark 9:2 - 9 People: Glory to you, O Christ. Common English Bible translation (CEB) Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and brought them to the top of a very high mountain where they were alone. He was transformed in front of them, and his clothes were amazingly bright, brighter than if they had been bleached white. Elijah and Moses appeared and were talking with Jesus. Peter reacted to all of this by saying to Jesus, “Rabbi, it’s good that we’re here. Let’s make three shrines—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He said this
because he didn’t know how to respond, for the three of them were terrified. Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice spoke from the cloud, “This is my Son, whom I dearly love. Listen to him!” Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus. As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Human One had risen from the dead. Deacon or Priest: The Gospel of our Savior. People: Praise to you, O Christ. The Homily The Rev. Areeta D. Bridgemohan 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 Proph- ets. 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. Prayers of the People Form IV BCP 388 Leader: Let us pray for the Church and for the world. Grant, Almighty God, that all who confess your Name may be united in your truth, live together in your love, and reveal your glory in the world. Silence Leader: God, in your mercy People: Hear our prayer. Guide the people of this land, and of all the nations, in the ways of justice and peace; that we may honor one another and serve the common good. Silence Leader: God, in your mercy People: Hear our prayer.
Give us all a reverence for the earth as your own creation, that we may use its resources rightly in the service of others and to your honor and glory. Silence Leader: God, in your mercy People: Hear our prayer. Bless all whose lives are closely linked with ours, and grant that we may serve Christ in them, and love one another as he loves us. Silence Leader: God, in your mercy People: Hear our prayer. Comfort and heal all those who suffer in body, mind, or spirit; give them courage and hope in their troubles, and bring them the joy of your salvation.

We commend to your mercy all who have died, that your will for them may be fulfilled; and we pray that we may share with all your saints in your eternal kingdom. Silence Leader: God, in your mercy People: Hear our prayer. Leader: We offer our prayers of thanksgiving and concern for ourselves and oth- ers, aloud or in the quiet room of our hearts. The leader pauses for 10 seconds as prayers are offered. Leader: God, in your mercy People: Hear our prayer. The Celebrant concludes: O Lord our God, accept the fervent prayers of your people; in the multitude of your mercies, look with compassion upon us and all who turn to you for help; for you are gracious, O lover of souls, and to you we give glory, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen. The Peace Celebrant: The peace of Christ be always with you. People: And also with you. All are now invited to exchange a sign of peace with a wave or bow.

Hymn 460 (St. 1, 3+4): “Alleluia, sing to Jesus” McKee 1 Alleluia! sing to Jesus! 4 Alleluia! King eternal, his the scepter, his the throne; thee the Lord of lords we own: Alleluia! his the triumph, Alleluia! born of Mary, his the victory alone; earth thy footstool, heaven thy throne: Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion thou within the veil hast entered, thunder like a mighty flood; robed in flesh, our great High Priest: Jesus out of every nation thou on earth both Priest and Victim hath redeemed us by his blood. in the eucharistic feast. 3 Alleluia!

Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.

Amen. The Dismissal The congregation responds Thanks be to God! Postlude
A message from our partners at
Micah Ecumenical Ministries
(St. George’s is one of the nine
member congregations)
Dear Friend,
For 73 days this year, Virginians shel-
tered in place under the Governor's
"stay at home" order. But the reality for almost 200 neighbors within the Micah
community was that they had no shelter in which to place.
Through the love of the churches, Micah committed to remaining a lighthouse in
the storm – to securing emergency, socially-distanced motel rooms for our vulner-
able neighbors. The doors of Micah Hospitality Center stayed open for showers,
clean clothes, and other basic provisions. Thousands of hot meals were delivered.
Transitions into permanent housing (51 and counting) were expedited. And even
a pandemic couldn’t stop the creative ways Micah helped our neighbors increase
their income. Battle buddies showed up, distributing cleaning supplies, masks,
and hand sanitizers. The churches of Fredericksburg showed up, even if that
meant gathering in a parking lot six feet apart.
Our prayer remains, if only for a season, that we get everyone off the street and
no one has to return to the street. That all of our neighbors continue to experi-
ence the security and stability of shelter, and eventually a permanent home. That
they don’t just survive. That they thrive.
Here are some ways you can make an impact:
$15 provides a night of winter shelter for one person
$25 buys a tent or sleeping bag
$30 keeps someone in housing for a day
$45 keeps someone in a socially distanced shelter bed for a night
$100 buys a night of respite care for a person recovering from a hospital visit
$200 a day sparks the spiritual walk of new disciples
$350 a day provides basic needs of people living on the street
$900 covers the average rental deposit
$1500 bridges someone to work
$5,000 a month supports the missional and spiritual community that is forming
among our neighbors
Thank you for loving your neighbor!
