As We Gather:Tech Notes and Other Stuff+
We are glad that you are here! We hope that you feel right at home here--whether you are new to St. Mary’s, new to Zoom, or a regular to both. Relax; you are among friends. Lift your heart and voice to the God who loves you.
If you are new to worshipping via Zoom, here are a few notes that may make it easier for you to relax during the service, so that it can be as meaningful as possible. None is essential.
You will be muted, and unable to unmute yourself, so sing joyfully without any fear of broadcasting your voice.
Using “Speaker View” for most of the service enhances your experience. You can choose this in the top right corner of most Zoom screens. During the Passing of the Peace, we will recommend that you switch you “Gallery View” to enjoy seeing others.
We really love to be able to know who is joining us. If you would like for your name to be visible with your video, you can hover over your video image, click on the three dots in the upper right, choose “Rename,” and then enter your name as you’d like it to appear.

OPENING SENTENCES Words for Worship, p. 11
Priest The story of faith is a story of courage. People It took courage for John the Baptist to prepare the way. Priest It took courage for Mary to say, “Here I am. Use me.” People It took courage for the disciples to drop their nets and follow Jesus. Priest It took courage for the paralyzed man’s friends to lower him through the roof. People It took courage for Peter to walk on water. Priest It took courage for Zacchaeus to give half his possessions to the poor. People It took courage for Jesus to enter Jerusalem on a donkey. Priest Faith has never been easy. It is a journey of courage. People Again and again, God, show us the way. Priest Let us worship a brave and courageous God.

PROCESSIONAL GOSPEL READING Mark 11:1-11a
When they were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden; untie it and bring it. If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately.’” They went away and found a colt tied near a door, outside in the street. As they were untying it, some of the bystanders said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” They told them what Jesus had said; and they allowed them to take it. Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it; and he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields. Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting,
“Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David! Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

Presider The Spirit is here. People The promise of God. Presider Let us pray.
Almighty and everliving God, in your tender love for the human race you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and also share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
FIRST READING Philippians 2:5-11
Reader A Reading from Paul's letter to the Church in Philippi.
Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death--even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Reader This is the Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.
PSALM Psalm 31:9-16
In - to your hand I en - trust my spi - rit. Ran -som me, God, my faith - ful Lord.
I have be- come like a bro - ken ves - sel, I am for- got- ten as though I were dead.
Have mercy on me, O God, for I am in trouble; my eye is consumed with sorrow, and also my throat and my belly.
For my life is wasted with grief, and my years with sighing; my strength fails me because of affliction, and my bones are consumed.
I have become a reproach to all my enemies and even to my neighbors, a dismay to those of my acquaintance; when they see me in the street they avoid me.
I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; I am as useless as a broken pot.
For I have heard the whispering of the crowd; fear is all around;
Page 7 of 15
they put their heads together against me; they plot to take my life.
ANTIPHON
But as for me, I have trusted in you, O God. I have said, "You are my God.
My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and pursuers,
Make your face to shine upon your servant, and in your loving-kindness save me."
ANTIPHON
GOSPEL HYMNvi When Jesus Left His Father’s Throne Hymnal #480
Verse 1: When Jesus left his Father’s throne, he chose an humble birth; like us, unhonored and unknown, he came to dwell on earth. Like him may we be found below, in wisdom’s path of peace; like him in grace and knowledge grow as years and strength increase.
Verse 2: Sweet were his words and kind his look, when mothers round him pressed; their infants in his arms he took, and on his bosom blessed. Safe from the world’s alluring harms, beneath his watchful eye, thus in the circle of his arms may we for ever lie.
Verse 3: When Jesus into Zion rode, the children sang around; for joy they plucked the palms and strowed their garments on the ground. Hosanna our glad voices raise, hosanna to our King! Should we forget our Savior’s praise, the stones themselves would sing.
THE GOSPEL OF THE PASSION OF OUR LORD St. Mary’s Youth
The St. Mary’s youth present a community retelling of the Passion Gospel
THE NICENE CREED Kenyan Liturgy
A priest says We stand together with Christians throughout the centuries, and throughout the world today, to affirm our faith in the words of the Nicene Creed.
Page 8 of 15
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 Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sin. We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

to die on the cross for us who owe you everything. Pour your refreshing Spirit on us
as we remember him in the way he commanded, through these gifts of your creation.
On the same night that he was betrayed he took bread and gave you thanks; he broke it and gave it to his disciples saying,
“Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
Amen. His body was broken for us.
In the same way, after supper he took the cup and gave thanks;
he gave it to them, saying, “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 sin. Do this as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
Together, all say Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
The Celebrant says We are made brothers, sisters, siblings through Christ’s blood.vii
Together, all respond We have died together, we will rise together, we will live together.
The Celebrant continues Therefore, heavenly Father,
hear us as we celebrate this covenant with joy, and await the coming of our brother, Jesus Christ.

making a full atonement for the sin of the whole world, the perfect sacrifice, once and for all.

ii Reginald Heberiii Thomas Harley Campbelliv Traditional Southern Brush Arbor hymn, arr. Wade Hampton Millerv Theodulph of Orleans (d. 821); tr. John Mason Neale (1818-1866), alt. This selection is in the public domainvi James Montgomery (1771-1854); These words are in the public domain. vii vii “With the phrase ‘We are brothers and sisters through his blood’ we come to the hidden heart of the prayer. In many African ethnic groups there is a traditional concept of ‘blood brotherhood,’ whereby friends bind themselves together, in a sort of covenant, through rubbing blood together from slight cuts in the arm. This concept here resonates with the new covenant through the blood of Christ and includes women. The phrase has a double meaning: through the blood of Christ, we are brothers and sisters with him and also with each other. This is underlined with the following responsive echoes of Romans 6:4–11: ‘We have died together, we will rise together, we will live together.’ The repeated word ‘together’ has a powerfully binding effect on the congregation.” (Graham Kings, Offerings, p. 22.) viii “‘I am because we are. We are because he is.’ This reflected John Mbiti’s distinction between western individualism and African corporate identity. Mbiti, a Kenyan Anglican, who at that time was working in Switzerland, is a father of African Christian theology. He contrasted Déscartes’ ‘I think therefore I am’ with the African concept of ‘I am because we are, and since we are therefore I am.’ The draft took this further and extended it to refer to our dependence on Christ’s life: we exist because Christ is alive. In the revision process this was rightly considered too esoteric and it was changed to pick up the last phrase of the previous Lord’s prayer ‘. . . nowand forever.’ ‘Christ is alive for ever. We are because he is.’” —Graham Kings, Offerings, p. 23.ix ©1970 Andrew Lloyd Webber x Adapted from Again & Again Words for Worship ©Sarah Are (A Sanctified Art).
