The Fifth Sunday in Lent April 3, 2022 10:30 a.m. Holy Eucharist: Rite II
Welcome to Calvary
Whoever you are, wherever you come from,
whatever joys or burdens you carry, you are
welcome at Calvary Episcopal Church. And we
are honored that you’ve chosen to say your
prayers with us.
Calvary is an eclectic bunch of Christian people.
We don’t all think the same thoughts, or dress
the same way, or vote for the same candidates,
or even believe all the same things about the
mystery of God and what it means to be human.
But, with St. Paul, we believe we need each other
because of our differences, not in spite of them.
God calls us out of estrangement into unity, not
uniformity. A body made up of identical members
can’t do much work in the world. Thumbs are so
much more useful with fingers to push against,
are they not?
So, I invite you to join in the life of this
congregation with all that you are, in all your
splendid uniqueness, maybe just for today,
but maybe for the rest of your days. We are a
fuller expression of Christ’s body because of
your presence. And has our world ever been
more needful of Christ’s reconciling, loving, and
merciful body than now?
The Rev. Scott Walters
Rector
I invite you to join in the life of this congregation
with all that you are, in all your splendid uniqueness,
maybe just for today, but maybe for the
rest of your days.

PROCESSION HYMN: Come, thou fount of every blessing Hymnal 686
A PENITENTIAL OR DER The Book of Common Prayer p. 351
Celebrant Bless the Lord who forgives all our sins.
People God’s mercy endures forever.
Celebrant Jesus said, “The first commandment is this: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our
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 other commandment
greater than these.” Mark 12:29-31
THE CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION, kneeling BCP p. 352
Celebrant Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.
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.
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.

THE COLLECT FOR THE FIF TH SUNDAY IN LENT
Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of
sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what
you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts
may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ
our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for
ever. Amen.
The people sit.
THE FIRST LESSON Isaiah 43:16-21
Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters,
who brings out chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot
rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick: Do not remember the former
things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs
forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the
5desert. The wild animals will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I give
water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people,
the people whom I formed for myself so that they might declare my praise.
The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
PSALM 126 Tone II
For all to sing in alternation with the cantor, beginning with the cantor
/
1 When the LORD restored the fortunes of / Zion, *
then were we like / those who dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with / laughter, *
and our tongue with / shouts of joy.
3 Then they said among the / nations, *
“The LORD has done great / things for them.”
4 The LORD has done great things for / us, *
and we are / glad indeed.
5 Restore our fortunes / O LORD, *
like the watercourses / of the Negev.
6 Those who sowed with / tears *
will reap with / songs of joy.
7 Those who go out weeping, carrying the / seed, *
will come again with joy, shoulder/ing their sheaves.
THE SECOND LESSON Philippians 3:4b-14
If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have more: circumcised
on the eighth day, a member of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a
Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of
the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. Yet whatever gains
I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that, I
regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ
Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard
them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a
righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but one that comes through
faith in Christ, the righteousness from God based on faith. I want to know Christ
and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming
like him in his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Not
that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on
6to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Beloved, I do not
consider that I have made it my own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies
behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for
the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.
The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
The people stand to sing.
SEQUENCE HYMN: Surely it is God who saves me Hymnal 679
The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.
People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
THE GOSPEL John 12:1-8
Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus,
whom he had raised from the dead. There they gave a dinner for him. Martha
served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him. Mary took a pound of
costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus’ feet, and wiped them with her
hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot,
one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him), said, “Why was this
perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
(He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief;
he kept the common purse and used to steal what was put into it.) Jesus said,
“Leave her alone. She bought it so that she might keep it for the day of my burial.
You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.
THE SERMON The Rev. Scott Walters
Printed copies of the sermon are available at the back of the church.
THE NICENE CREED, standing BCP p. 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,
7eternally 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.

People To you, O Lord our God.
Celebrant Heavenly Father, you have promised to hear what we ask in the Name of
your Son: Accept and fulfill our petitions, we pray, not as we ask in our
ignorance, nor as we deserve in our sinfulness, but as you know and love
us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
THE PEACE, standing
Celebrant The peace of the Lord be always with you.
People And also with you.
9GREETINGS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
THE LITURGY OF THE TABLE
OFFERTORY ANTHEM: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace Samuel Sebastian Wesley
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee. The darkness
is no darkness with thee, but the night is as clear as the day. The darkness and
the light to thee are both alike. God is light and with him is no darkness at all. Oh
let my soul live, and it shall praise thee, for thine is the kingdom, the power, and
the glory, for evermore.
(Isaiah 26 v. 3; Psalm 139 v. 11; 1 John 1 v. 5; Psalm 119 v. 175)
PRESENTATION HYMN: Hymn 43, st. 4
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
THE GREAT THANKSGIVING
Eucharistic Prayer A, The Book of Common Prayer p. 361
Celebrant The Lord be with you.
People And also with you.
Celebrant Lift up your hearts.
People We lift them to the Lord.
Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People It is right to give God thanks and praise.
The Celebrant continues
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:

in the name of the Lord. Ho - san - na in the high - est.
The Celebrant continues
Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself, and,
when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your
mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature,
to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all.
He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to
your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.
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 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 we proclaim the mystery of faith:
People Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
11The Celebrant continues
We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise
and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you
these gifts.
Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of
your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us
also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity,
constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the
joy of your eternal kingdom.
All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: 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.
Celebrant and People AMEN.
Celebrant And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
THE LORD’S PRAYER BCP p. 364
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.

You may receive the consecrated bread and wine of the Eucharist at either the altar rail or
at a standing station. The bread is received in the open palm. The wine may be taken from
the common cup by drinking (placing your hand gently on the base of the cup to guide it) or
by dipping the wafer. If you choose not to receive the bread or the wine, you are invited to
come forward, place your arms across your chest, and receive a blessing. Gluten-free wafers
are available at the altar rail by request. If you or someone with you would like communion
brought to you in the pew, please let one of the ushers know before or during the offertory,
so that the usher may share this request with the clergy.
