The Holy EucharistVoluntary Aria Herbert HowellsIntroit Crossing the Bar C.H.H. Parry Sunset and ev’ning star, and one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, when I put out to sea, but such a tide as moving seems asleep, too full for sound and foam, when that which drew from out the bondless deep turns again home. Twilight and ev’ning bell, and after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, when I embark; for tho’ from out our bourne of time and place the flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face when I have crost the bar.

The Word of GodProcessional For all the saints, who from their labors rest Hymnal 287, verses 1-2

(Hymn resumes at verse 3 after the station)

Station at the Baptismal FontCelebrant: Let the righteous rejoice in the presence of God:People: Let them be merry and joyful.Celebrant: Let us pray: O God, the King of saints, we praise and glorify your holy Name for all your servants who have finished their course in

4

your faith and fear: for the blessed Virgin Mary; blessed Paul our patron, for the holy patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs; and for all your other righteous servants, known to us and unknown; and we pray that, encouraged by their examples, aided by their prayers, and strengthened by their fellowship, we also may be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; through the merits of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.Procession of All Saints Banners Hymnal 287, verses 3, 4, 7 & 8The banners are in remembrance of St. Paul’s members who have died in the past year.Reading of the NecrologyThe Celebrant says to the people: Book of Common Prayer 355

Blessed be God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.People: And blessed be God’s kingdom, now and forever. AmenCelebrant and PeopleAlmighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.Song of Praise Hymnal S236

1 Glory to you, Lord God of our fathers;you are worthy of praise; glory to you.

2 Glory to you for the radiance of your holy Name;we will praise you and highly exalt you for ever.

3 Glory to you in the splendor of your temple;on the throne of your majesty, glory to you.

4 Glory to you, seated between the Cherubim;we will praise you and highly exalt you for ever.

5 Glory to you, beholding the depths;in the high vault of heaven, glory to you.

6 Glory to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;we will praise you and highly exalt you for ever.

The Collect of the Day BCP 235The Celebrant says to the people: The Lord be with you.People: And also with you Celebrant: Let us pray. Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.(The people may be seated.)A Reading From Revelation (7:9-17)After this I, John, looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice, saying,"Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!" And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, singing,

6

"Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen."

Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, robed in white, and where have they come from?" I said to him, "Sir, you are the one that knows." Then he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

"For this reason they are before the throne of God,and worship him day and night within his temple,and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them.

They will hunger no more, and thirst no more;the sun will not strike them,nor any scorching heat;

for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd,and he will guide them to springs of the water of life,

and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."Reader The Word of the Lord.People Thanks be to God.(Silence for reflection upon the reading.)

Psalm 34:1-10,22 BCP 627

ANTIPHON1 I will bless the LORD at all times;

his praise shall ever be in my mouth.2 I will glory in the LORD;

let the humble hear and rejoice.3 Proclaim with me the greatness of the LORD;

let us exalt his Name together.4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me

and delivered me out of all my terror.5 Look upon him and be radiant,

and let not your faces be ashamed.ANTIPHON

6 I called in my affliction and the LORD heard meand saved me from all my troubles.

7 The angel of the LORD encompasses those who fear him,and he will deliver them.

8 Taste and see that the LORD is good;happy are they who trust in him!

9 Fear the LORD, you that are his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing.

10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek the LORD lack nothing that is good.

22 The LORD ransoms the life of his servants, and none will be punished who trust in him.ANTIPHON

(choir and congregation, verses of the Psalm sung

A Reading from 1 John (3:1-3)See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is. And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.Reader The Word of the Lord.People Thanks be to God.Hymn to Announce the Gospel By all your saints still striving Hymnal 232

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ According to Matthew (5:1-12)People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying:"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. "Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness'

9

sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord.People: Praise to you, Lord Christ.The Sermon The Rev. Richard BanksThe Nicene Creed

BCP 358We 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 sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead,

10

and the life of the world to come. Amen.The Prayers of the People (Form III) BCP 387Father, we pray for your holy Catholic Church;That we all may be one.Grant that every member of the Church may truly and humbly serve you; That your Name may be glorified by all people.We pray for Michael, our Presiding Bishop; Rob, our bishop; Dena, our rector; Kay, our deacon; Richard, our priest associate; St. James, Wilmington, The Rev’d Ronald Abrams, rector, the Rev.

Deacon Catherine Davis; Iglesia Cristiana; and for all bishops, priests, and deacons;That they may be faithful ministers of your Word and Sacraments.We pray for Donald our president, Roy our governor, and all who govern and hold authority in the nations of the world;That there may be justice and peace on the earth.Give us grace to do your will in all that we undertake;That our works may find favor in your sight.We pray for those on our parish prayer list: Ed, Greg, Karen, Curtis, Dot, Bob, Jacqueline, Audrey, Jere, Eleanor, Barbara, Barb, Bob, Pat and those friends of the Parish listed in the bulletin; have compassion on those who suffer from any grief or trouble;That they may be delivered from their distress.Give to the departed eternal rest;Let light perpetual shine upon them.We praise you for your saints who have entered into joy;

11

May we also come to share in your heavenly kingdom.Let us pray for our own needs and those of others.Silence. The Celebrant adds a concluding Collect.Confession of Sin and Absolution BCP 360 (The people stand or kneel)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 hearts; 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 Peace

Celebrant The Gifts of God for the People of God. Communion of the People

All are welcome to receive Holy Communion at the altar. For the bread, place one hand over the other and hold them up chest high so the minister can easily place the bread on the palm of your hand. You may then consume the bread or hold it to dip (intinct) into the wine and then place it in your mouth. If you wish to receive the chalice, please guide it to your lips. If you do not wish to receive the wine, indicate by crossing your arms. After you have received the bread and the wine, it is appropriate to say “AMEN.” Gluten free communion bread is available. Ask the priest.

Communion MusicAt the River (Carl Samet, bass) arr. Aaron Copland Shall we gather at the river, where bright angels feet have trod, with its crystal tide forever flowing by the throne of God. Yes, we’ll gather by the river, the beautiful river, gather with the saints by the river that flows by the throne of God. Soon we’ll reach the shining river, soon our pilgrimage will cease, soon our happy hearts will quiver with the melody of peace. I sing a song of the saints of God Hymnal 293Ubi caritas
