The Proclamation of the Word
The Readings
Reader A reading from the book of Genesis 12:1-4a
Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and
your father’s house to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great
nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a
blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will
curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” So Abram went,
as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.
People Thanks be to God.
Psalm 121 (Text, BAS p. 882; sung refrain on insert)
Please remain seated.
Reader A reading from the letter of Paul to the Romans 4:1-5, 13-17
What then are we to say was gained by Abraham, our ancestor according to the
flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about,
but not before God. For what does the scripture say? “Abraham believed God,
and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.” Now to one who works, wages are
not reckoned as a gift but as something due. But to one who without works trusts
him who justifies the ungodly, such faith is reckoned as righteousness. For the
promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his
descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith. If it is the
adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is
void. For the law brings wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there
violation. For this reason it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest
3on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants, not only to the adherents of
the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham (for he is the father of
all of us, as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”)—in the
presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls
into existence the things that do not exist.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.
People Thanks be to God.

Reader The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.
People Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. He came to
Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has
come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the
presence of God.” Jesus answered him, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the
kingdom of God without being born from above.” Nicodemus said to him, “How
can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the
mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can
enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born
of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be astonished
that I said to you, ‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it
chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from
or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus
said to him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered him, “Are you a teacher
4of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things? “Very truly, I tell you, we
speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive
our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe,
how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ascended
into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And
just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be
lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved
the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may
not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the
world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through
him.”
The Gospel of Christ.
People Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
The Sermon The Rev’d Grace Pritchard Burson
Please be seated.
The Apostles’ Creed
Celebrant 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 to 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,
5the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Prayers of the People
Confession and Absolution
Celebrant Dear friends in Christ, God is steadfast in love and infinite in
mercy; he welcomes sinners and invites them to his table. Let us confess our sins,
confident in God’s forgiveness.
Silence is kept.
Celebrant Most merciful God,
All 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 neighbours 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 upon you, pardon and deliver you from
all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in
eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
People Amen.

The Great Thanksgiving: Eucharistic Prayer 3
Celebrant The Lord be with you.
People And also with you.
Celebrant Lift up your hearts.
7People We lift them to the Lord.
Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People It is right to give our thanks and praise.
Blessed are you, gracious God, creator of heaven and earth; we give you thanks
and praise through Jesus Christ our Lord, who was tempted in every way, yet
did not sin. By his grace we are able to triumph over every evil, and to live no
longer for ourselves alone, but for him who died for us and rose again. Therefore
with angels and archangels, and all who have served you in every age, we raise
our voices to proclaim the glory of your name.
Sanctus: Common Praise, #683 J. Merbecke
Celebrant We give thanks to you, Lord our God, for the goodness and love
you have made known to us in creation; in calling Israel to be your people; in
your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh,
Jesus your Son.
Car en ces temps qui sont les derniers, tu l’as envoyé afin qu’il prenne chair de la
Vierge Marie et qu’il devienne le Rédempteur et le Sauveur du monde. En lui, tu
nous as délivrés du mal et tu nous as rendus dignes de nous tenir en ta présence.
En lui, tu nous as fait passer de l’erreur à la vérité, du péché à la justice, de la
mort à la vie.
On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, a death he freely
accepted, 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.”
De même, à la fin du repas, il prit la coupe. Après t’avoir rendu grâce, il la leur
donna en disant: « Prenez et buvez-en tous, car ceci est la coupe de mon sang, le
8sang de l’Alliance nouvelle et éternelle qui sera versé pour vous et pour la
multitude pour le pardon des péchés. Chaque fois que vous en boirez, faites-le en
mémoire de moi. »
Therefore, Father, according to his command,
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, 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, made acceptable in him, may be
sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Dans la plénitude des temps, réconcilie et renouvelle toutes choses dans le Christ
et conduis-nous à la cité de lumière, là où tu habites avec tous tes enfants, par
Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur, le premier‑ne de toute création, la tête de l’Église
et l’auteur de notre salut; car c’est par lui, avec lui et en lui, dans l’unité de
l’Esprit-Saint que te sont rendus tout honneur et toute gloire, maintenant et pour
les siècles des siècles.
All Amen.
