All Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought,

5THE VENITE
said by all
Come, let us sing to the LORD; *
let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *
and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.
For the LORD is a great God, *
and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the caverns of the earth, *
and the heights of the hills are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it, *
and his hands have molded the dry land.
Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, *
and kneel before the LORD our Maker.
For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
LESSON A reading from the Book of Genesis 1: 1-5
I
N the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless
void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the
face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God
saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called
the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was
morning, the first day.
Lector Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church.
People Thanks be to God.PSALM 29: 1-4, 10-11 Afferte Domino chant: Malcolm Archer
sung by the cantor
1 Ascribe to the LORD, you gods, *
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his Name; *
worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters;
the God of glory thunders; *
the LORD is upon the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is a powerful voice; *
the voice of the LORD is a voice of splendor.
10 The LORD sits enthroned above the flood; *
the LORD sits enthroned as King for evermore.
11 The LORD shall give strength to his people; *
the LORD shall give his people the blessing of peace.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
LESSON A reading from the Gospel according to Mark 1: 4-11
OHN the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for
J the forgiveness of sins. And people from the whole Judean countryside and all the people
of Jerusalem were going out to him, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan,
confessing their sins. Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, with a leather belt around
his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. He proclaimed, “The one who is more powerful
than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals.
I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” In those days
Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And just as he
was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending
like a dove on him. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you
I am well pleased.”
Lector Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church.
People Thanks be to God.

THE APOSTLES’ CREED BCP 96
Officiant and People together
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,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
