The Holy EucharistChristmas Eve
Saturday, December 24, 2016 11 p.m.
from the bishopOne thing about the Episcopal Church that thousands upon thousands of non-Episcopalians have directly experienced is Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. We go all-out for Midnight Mass —sublime music, candles, processions, and the giddy experience of being in church for a long stretch and then walking out into the wee hours of Christmas Day.
We Episcopalians pour so much into this service because we really love the God-made-human part of the whole sweep of Christian believing. That this peasant child contained the fullness of Divine Being is thrilling, and affects how we see everything that unrolls from that tiny life’s beginning.
Because of our love for the Incarnation of God, we love all that God made, all the world. This is why you’ll find Episcopalians hard at work and in the thick of every application to human need and every aspect of care of the Earth there is. We are glad you are joining us for Christmas, and for all that Christmas opens to us in this beautiful creation.
— The Right Reverend Marc Handley Andrus, Bishop of California
worshipping with usThank you for being part of Grace Cathedral this Christmas. What we celebrate here is at the heart of the Christian faith, namely, Incarnation - our belief that, in the babe of Bethlehem, God has become flesh and dwelt among us.
Some of our services today include Holy Communion; the same divine gift, revealed so tenderly in the manger, is made present for us now in bread and wine. Everyone is welcome to receive Communion. Ushers will help guide you to Communion ministers. If you choose not to receive either the Bread or the Wine, simply cross your arms over your chest and respond “Amen” when it is presented.
We wish you all the blessings of a joyful Christmas.
— Jeffrey Hookom, Precentor
from the deanWelcome to Grace Cathedral. Entering this cathedral, we become more aware of the intimate presence which abides everywhere in the world, the spirit of creativity, compassion, healing and holiness. This place grounds us in this beautiful mystery just as it inspires us with hope that we can make this life better than it has been in the past.
The altar in the Chapel of the Nativity was installed in 1936. In the mural above it a shepherd who is playing the flute pauses when he hears the choir of angels. I pray that we also will have the chance to pause and hear the voice of God during this holy season. I pray that as we celebrate the vulnerability of God in Jesus we will experience a rebirth of joy and wonder in the face of his simple teaching—that all people without exception are God’s beloved children.
— The Very Rev. Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean of Grace Cathedral
It’s Christmas.
welcome to grace

S(6. D(* C(,%7 John Rutter Choir Now the Holly bears a berry as white as the milk,
And Mary bore Jesus, who was wrapped up in silk. And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Savior for to be, And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly.
Now the Holly bears a berry as green as the grass, And Mary bore Jesus, who died on the cross: And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Savior for to be, And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly.
Now the Holly bears a berry as black as the coal, And Mary bore Jesus, who died for us all: And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Savior for to be, And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly.
Now the Holly bears a berry, as blood it is red, !en trust we our savior, who rose from the dead. And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Savior for to be, And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly. – Cornish traditional carol

F(6'(.)( %6 C",).'2(. C(,%7. Ralph Vaughan Williams Choir !is is the truth sent from above,
!e truth of God, the God of love: !erefore don’t turn me from your door, But hearken all, both rich and poor.
!e first thing which I will relate Is that God did man create, !e next thing which to you I’ll tell, Woman was made with man to dwell.
!en, after this, ‘twas God’s own choice To place them both in Paradise, !ere to remain from evil free, Except they ate of such a tree.
And they did eat, which was a sin, And thus their ruin did begin, Ruined themselves, both you and me, And all of their posterity.
!us we were heirs to endless woes, Till God the Lord did interpose, And so a promise soon did run, !at he would redeem us by his Son.
Come all you worthy gentlemen that may be standing by, Christ our blessed Savior was born on Christmas day !e blessed Virgin Mary unto the Lord did pray – O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!
Christ our Blessed Savior now in the manger lay – He’s lying in the manger, while oxen feed on hay. !e blessed Virgin Mary unto the Lord did pray – O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!
On Christmas night all Christians sing To hear the news the angels bring: News of great joy, news of great mirth, News of our merciful King’s birth.
When sin departs before thy grace, !en life and health come in its place. Angels and men with joy may sing, All for to see the newborn King.
God bless the ruler of this house and long may he reign, From out of darkness we have light, which makes the angels sing this night, Many happy Christmases he live to see again! From out of darkness we have light, which makes the angels sing this night,
God bless our generation, who live both far and near “Glory to God and peace to men; and we wish them a happy New Year. Both now and evermore. Amen.”

Going o’er the hills, through the milk-white snow, heard I ewe’s bleat while the wind did blow: Shepherds many an one sat among the sheep no man spake more word than they had been asleep. Quoth I “Fellows mine, Why this guise sit ye? Making but dull cheer, shepherds though ye be?” Quoth those fellows then, “To Bethlem town we go, To see a mighty lord lie in a manger low.” !en to Bethlem town we went two by two, and in a sorry place heard the oxen low: !ere in did we see a sweet and goodly may and a fair old man, upon the straw she lay: And a little child on her arm had she, “Wot ye who this is?” Said the hinds to me: !is is Christ the Lord, Masters be ye glad!

Dean We believe in one God, All 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. "rough 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 cruci#ed under Pontius Pilate; he su$ered 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 glori#ed. 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, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep
darkness-- on them light has shined. You have multiplied the nation, you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as people exult when dividing plunder. For the yoke of their burden, and the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian. For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His authority shall grow continually, and there shall be endless peace for the throne of David and his kingdom. He will establish and uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

The grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and
worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly, while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds.

In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered.
This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. All went to their own towns to be registered. Joseph also went from
the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their f lock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom God favors!”When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.” So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.]

Home is Where the Heart IsWe are so grateful to our warm and loving congregation during this season of stewardship. Today, we are 82% of the way to our goal of 400 pledging households participating for 2017.
During the month of December, we are publishing the name of each pledging family as a welcome to thousands of Christmas visitors to Grace Cathedral.
Hundreds of hearts representing pledges adorn our St. Francis statue. We also thank our stewardship committee for their 100% participation and leadership.
We are updating this list each week in December and there is still time to make your pledge. Visit gracecathedral.org/pledge or pick up a brochure in the cathedral to learn more about Home Is Where the Heart Is.
Pledges received as of December 9, 2016.
