The First Sunday in Lent
march ,
Christ Church Anglican Cathedral is an inclusive community of disciples of Jesus
Christ serving God in downtown Vancouver through worship, ministry and out-
reach. Since 1888, people have met on this site to worship God and to witness
Christ’s love for the world. The Cathedral is enriched and enlivened by the diversity
of its community. It is a place for worship, and for outreach to near and far. It is a
place where faith is nurtured and all age groups are welcomed. The performing
and visual arts find a home here. This is a safe, welcoming and positive space for
LGBTQ/2S+ people, their friends and families.

7Proclamation of the Word
After each reading the reader will say:
Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.
All Thanks be to God.
First Reading Deuteronomy 26:1-11
Psalm 91 Antiphon: Rupert Lang; trad. Plainsong
Whoso dwelleth under the defence of the Most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say unto the Lord, ‘Thou art my refuge and my stronghold;
my God in whom I will trust.’
For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunter,
and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall defend thee under his wings, and thou shalt be safe under his feathers;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. Antiphon
Thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night,
nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,
nor for the sickness that destroyeth in the noonday.
A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.
Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou behold,
and see the reward of the ungodly. Antiphon
Because thou hast said, ‘The Lord is my refuge’,
and hast made the Most High thy habitation,
There shall no evil happen unto thee,
neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee,
to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee in their hands,
that thou hurt not thy foot against a stone. Antiphon
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under thy feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him;
I will set him up, because he hath known my Name.
He shall call upon me, and I will hear him:
yea, I am with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and bring him to honour.
With long life will I satisfy him,
and show him my salvation. Antiphon

Sermon The Ven. Philippa Segrave-Pride
Silence for Reflection
The Apostles’ Creed
Presider Let us confess the faith of our baptism, as we say,
All I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by
the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered
under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended
9to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is
seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living
and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the
communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Peace
You are invited to greet those around you in the name of Christ.

The Great Thanksgiving
Presider May God be with you.
All And also with you.
Presider Lift up your hearts.
All We lift them to the Lord.
Presider Let us give thanks to God our Creator.
All It is right to give our thanks and praise.
Presider It is indeed right, our duty and our joy,
that we should at all times and in all places give thanks and praise to you,
Almighty and merciful God, through our Saviour Jesus Christ.
You call your people to cleanse their hearts and prepare with joy for the paschal feast,
that renewed in the gift of baptism, we may come to the fullness of your grace.
And so, with all the choirs of angels, with the church on earth and the hosts of heaven,
we praise your name and join their unending hymn.
Sanctus Lenten Mass Rupert Lang
11Presider Holy God, you alone are holy, you alone are God.
The universe declares your praise beyond the stars;
beneath the sea; within each cell; with every breath.
All We praise you O God.
Presider Generations bless your faithfulness:
through the water; by night and day;
across the wilderness; out of exile; into the future.
All We bless you O God.
Presider We give you thanks for your dear Son:
at the heart of human life; near those who suffer;
beside the sinner; among the poor; with us now.
All We thank you O God.
Presider In the night in which he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus took bread,
and gave thanks; broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying,
Take and eat; this is my body, given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.
Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it for all to drink saying,
This cup is the new covenant in my blood,
shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin.
Do this for the remembrance of me.
Remembering his love for us on the way, at the table, and to the end,
we proclaim the mystery of faith.
All Christ has died.
Christ is Risen.
Christ will come again.
Presider We pray for the gift of your Spirit: in our gathering;
within this meal; among your people throughout the world.
Blessing, praise and thanks to you, holy God, through Christ Jesus,
by your spirit, in your church, without end.
All Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
Presider As our Saviour taught us, let us pray,
All Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
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.
12 The First Sunday in Lent | march , Breaking of the Bread
Presider We break this bread,
All Communion in Christ’s body once broken.
Presider Let your Church be the wheat which bears its fruit in dying.
All If we have died with him, we shall live with him;
if we hold firm, we shall reign with him.
Presider The gifts of God for the people of God.
All Thanks be to God.
During Communion Litany of Reconciliation Music: Stephen Wright; Text: from Coventry Cathedral
“All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.”
The hatred which divides nation from nation,
Race from race, class from class,
Father, forgive.
The covetous desires of people and nations to possess what is not their own,
Father, forgive.
The greed which exploits the work of human hands and lays waste the earth,
Father, forgive.
Our envy of the welfare and happiness of others,
Father, forgive.
Our indifference to the plight of the imprisoned, the homeless, the refugee,
Father, forgive.
The lust which dishonours the bodies of men, women and children,
Father, forgive.
The pride which leads us to trust in ourselves, and not in God,
Father, forgive.
“Be kind to one another; tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
as God in Christ forgave you.”
13Share the Gifts
If you know the brokenness of life, its fractures within and its division without, then you have partici-
pated in the broken body of Christ and you are invited to share in the breaking of bread. If you desire
to know the love of God that overcomes indifference and despair, if you desire the reconciliation that overcomes
estrangement and alienation then you are invited to share the cup of the new covenant. The bread is received in
the open palm. It is usual Anglican practice to drink the wine from the common cup. If you wish to dip bread in
the wine, extend one hand for a wafer. Both wine and unfermented grape juice are served, grape juice is admin-
istered from the copper chalice. Gluten-free wafers are available upon request in the East alcove.
Prayer and Laying-on of Hands for Healing
We invite those wishing particular prayer for themselves or on behalf of someone else, or to share in a prayer
of thanksgiving for blessings received, to come to the front of the line to receive the bread and wine. Immediately
after receiving, go to the prayer station. Give your first name and in a low voice briefly state your prayer need.
The prayer team will lay hands gently on your shoulders and after a short silence, they will pray quietly for you.
While the communion is being administered, we respectfully ask that you keep the silence — this is a time for
quiet prayer and meditation.
Sending Out of the Disciples
Prayer after Communion
Presider Faithful God,
All in this holy bread
you increase our faith and hope and love.
Lead us in the path of Christ who is your Word of life.
We ask this in his name. Amen.
Doxology
Presider Glory to God,
All whose power, working in us,
can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.
Glory to God from generation to generation,
in the Church and in Christ Jesus,
for ever and ever. Amen.
The Blessing
14 The First Sunday in Lent | march , Closing Hymn Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah (CP 565) Text: William Williams; tr. Peter Williams;
Music: John Hughes; Cwm Rhonda
1. Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
pilgrim though this barren land.
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
hold me with thy powerful hand.
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
feed me till I want no more,
feed me till I want no more.
2. Open now the crystal fountain
whence the healing stream doth flow;
let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through;
strong deliverer, strong deliverer.
be thou still my strength and shield,
be thou still my strength and shield.
3. When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside;
death of death, and hell’s destruction,
land me safe on Canaan’s side:
songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to thee,
I will ever give to thee.
