1Rector’s Message

Today across our Diocese, we are celebrating ‘Ministry Sunday’. We are called to remember the vows and promises of our Baptism, that we would ‘proclaim by our word and example the good news of God in Christ, seeking and serving Christ in all persons and loving our neighbour as ourselves.’

Jesus continues to call disciples today, just as he called the fishermen Peter and Andrew, James and John long ago on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Like them, we are called to let go of the things that hold us back and to follow Christ wherever he may lead us. In our journey we discover who Christ is and learn of our true identity as God’s sons and daughters.

On this Ministry Sunday, let us give thanks for all among us who make this parish what it is. Give thanks for all who tell others about Christ and what Christ is doing in their lives. Give thanks for parents, teachers, pastors and lay ministers who share God’s love with others. Give thanks for those who make good food and share it generously and those who reach out to meet the material and spiritual needs of others. Give thanks for those who make music, who lead worship and who preach God’s word. Today, we welcome as our preacher, Helen Chandler, a member of our parish discerning a call to serve God in ordained ministry. We pray God’s blessing upon her and her journey.

God bless you this week.

Fr. Michael

Why are we celebrating with a Celtic Eucharist this week? I will be speaking to you today about my walk with God on my journey of discernment. I am enrolled as a special student at AST (Atlantic School of Theology) as a part of the journey. This semester I am studying Celtic Spirituality within a course called Seeing God in All Things: Creation in Christian

Spirituality. When Father Michael asked me to speak for Ministry Sunday, I requested the opportunity to organise a Celtic Eucharist and use the liturgy, the background research and the experience as my coursework presentation. So we are celebrating a Celtic Eucharist today to help me with my studies – thank you!! I trust you will get us much spiritual benefit from it today as I have in pulling it together.

I have reflected on what drew me to the Celtic expression in the first place. I realised that my first cross was a gold Celtic cross that my godparents gave me at my confirmation. I have always rested my faith in the trinity and Celtic Christianity emphasises the trinity. A friend of mine worked with an Irish carpenter who always made three notches somewhere in his work. My good friend Nancy Sherwood, our liturgical dancer today, has taken 12 Celtic Winds – a healing dance program – across Nova Scotia. Everywhere I turn it seems I have connections with Celtic Spirituality.

The Celts prayed everything in their life – from banking the fire to kneading the dough, from making the bed to hanging the laundry. Prayer infused their lives and their connection to each other was their ministry.A year ago, Father Michael said “God loves you; God has a plan for you.” – Who me? – yes, yes, you – we are all in ministry every day of our lives – every moment of our day – every interaction.

I am currently honoured to be in ministry with 18 awesome people in a program for older workers. I am facilitating a workshop called The Age Advantage for the program at ACSBE in Bridgewater.

I hope you are inspired by this uplifting Celtic Liturgy and will share your ministry with us at the parish lunch and fellowship time that will follow the service, in the Parish Hall. Helen Chandler

Please be seated for The Ministry of the Word7. Old Testament Lesson: (with liturgical dance and piano improvisation)

A reading from the book of Isaiah… (taken from The Message Bible)

But there'll be no darkness for those who were in trouble. Earlier he did bring the lands of Zebulun and Naphtali into disrepute, but the time is coming when he'll make that whole area glorious— the road along the Sea, the country past the Jordan, international Galilee.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.For those who lived in a land of deep shadows— light! sunbursts of light!You repopulated the nation, you expanded its joy.Oh, they're so glad in your presence! Festival joy!The joy of a great celebration, sharing rich gifts and warm greetings.The abuse of oppressors and cruelty of tyrants— all their whips and cudgels and curses—

5

Is gone, done away with, a deliverance as surprising and sudden as Gideon's old victory over Midian.(Isaiah 9:1-4)

The word of the LordAll: Thanks be to God

8. Psalm 150 (please remain seated as the Chancel & Junior Choirs sing the psalm)

9. Epistle: A reading from the first letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians… (taken from The Message Bible)

I have a serious concern to bring up with you, my friends, using the authority of Jesus, our Master. I'll put it as urgently as I can: You must get along with each other. You must learn to be considerate of one another, cultivating a life in common.

I bring this up because some from Chloe's family brought a most disturbing report to my attention—that you're fighting among yourselves! I'll tell you exactly what I was told: You're all picking sides, going around saying, "I'm on Paul's side," or "I'm for Apollos," or "Peter is my man," or "I'm in the Messiah group."

I ask you, "Has the Messiah been chopped up in little pieces so we can each have a relic all our own? Was Paul crucified for you? Was a single one of you baptized in Paul's name?" I was not involved with any of your baptisms—except for Crispus and Gaius—and on getting this report, I'm sure glad I wasn't. At least no one can go around saying he was baptized in my name. (Come to think of it, I also baptized Stephanas's family, but as far as I can recall, that's it.)

God didn't send me out to collect a following for myself, but to preach the Message of what he has done, collecting a following for him. And he didn't send me to do it with a lot of fancy rhetoric of my own, lest the powerful action at the center—Christ on the Cross—be trivialized into mere words.

6

The Message that points to Christ on the Cross seems like sheer silliness to those hellbent on destruction, but for those on the way of salvation it makes perfect sense. (1 Corinthians 1:10-18)

The word of the LordAll: Thanks be to God

10. (Please stand) Gospel Acclamation: CP #715 (v.1 before Gospel and v.2 after)

All: Alleluia, Alleluia!Alleluia, Alleluia!The Word of the Lord lasts forever.What is the Word that is living?It is brought to us through his Son Jesus Christ.Alleluia, Alleluia!Alleluia, Alleluia!

11. Gospeller: The Lord be with youAll: and also with you

Gospeller: Hear the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew… All: Glory to Christ our Saviour

When Jesus got word that John had been arrested, he returned to Galilee. He moved from his hometown, Nazareth, to the lakeside village Capernaum, nestled at the base of the Zebulun and Naphtali hills. This move completed Isaiah's sermon:

Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali, road to the sea, over Jordan, Galilee, crossroads for the nations. People sitting out their lives in the dark saw a huge light; Sitting in that dark, dark country of death, they watched the sun come up.

7

This Isaiah-prophesied sermon came to life in Galilee the moment Jesus started preaching. He picked up where John left off: "Change your life. God's kingdom is here."

Walking along the beach of Lake Galilee, Jesus saw two brothers: Simon (later called Peter) and Andrew. They were fishing, throwing their nets into the lake. It was their regular work. Jesus said to them, "Come with me. I'll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I'll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass." They didn't ask questions, but simply dropped their nets and followed.

A short distance down the beach they came upon another pair of brothers, James and John, Zebedee's sons. These two were sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee, mending their fishnets. Jesus made the same offer to them, and they were just as quick to follow, abandoning boat and father.

From there he went all over Galilee. He used synagogues for meeting places and taught people the truth of God. God's kingdom was his theme—that beginning right now they were under God's government, a good government! He also healed people of their diseases and of the bad effects of their bad lives. Matthew 4:12-23 (taken from the Message Bible)

This is the Gospel of the LordAll: Praise to Christ our Lord

All sing (CP #715): Alleluia, Alleluia!Alleluia, Alleluia!God brings the world to himself,now through his Christ reconciling;he has trusted us with the news of his redeeming love.Alleluia, Alleluia!Alleluia, Alleluia!

24. Eucharistic Prayer III (Hippolytus)

Celebrant: We give you thanks, O God, through your beloved servant Jesus Christ, whom at the end of time you sent to us as saviour and redeemer and the messenger of your will; who is your Word, inseparable from you, through whom you made all things, and in whom you are well pleased.

You sent him from heaven into the womb of the Virgin; and, dwelling in the womb, he was made flesh and was manifested as your Son, being born of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin. Having fulfilled your will, and winning for you a holy people he spread out his hands when he should suffer, that by his death he might set free from suffering those who believed in you. Jesus the Christ, when he was betrayed to his willing death, that he might bring to nought death and break the bonds of the devil, tread hell under foot, give light to the righteous, set the limit and manifest his resurrection, taking the loaf and giving thanks, said:

‘Take, eat, this is my Body, which shall be broken for you.’

Likewise also the cup, saying: ‘This is my Blood which is shed for you; as often as you do this, do it in memory of me.’

Remembering therefore his death and resurrection, we offer to you

15

this bread and this cup, giving you thanks as you have counted us worthy to stand before you and minister to you.

We pray you therefore to send your Holy Spirit upon these offerings gathered here, that all those who receive may be filled with your Holy Spirit for the confirmation of faith in truth, that they may praise and glorify you. Through your servant Jesus Christ, through whom to you be all honour and glory, with the Holy Spirit in your Holy Church, both now and to the ages of ages.

All: Sing (Marty Haugen: mass of Creation) Amen.

25. The Holy Communion

Celebrant: As our Saviour taught us, we pray:

All: Our Father who art in heaven,hallowed be thy name,thy Kingdom come,thy will be done,on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our trespasses,as we forgive those who trespass against us.And lead us not into temptationbut deliver us from evil.For thine is the Kingdom,the power, and the glory,for ever and ever.Amen.

Celebrant: Deliver us, we implore you Lord, from all evils, past, present and to come, and by the intercession of the blessed and glorious Mary, ever virgin, Mother of God, and of your blessed apostles Peter and Paul, and of Andrew and all the saints, mercifully give peace in our days; that through the help of your mercy we may always be free from sin and safe from all troubles. Through the

16

same Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

26. The Fraction of the Host (From the Stowe Missal)

Celebrant:O Lord, we believe that in this breaking of your body and pouring out of your blood we become your redeemed people;We confess that in taking the gifts of this pledge here, we lay hold in hope of enjoying its true fruits in the heavenly places.

27. Agnus DeiAll: Sing (Marty Haugen: Mass of Creation)

Jesus, Lamb of God: have mercy on us.Jesus, bearer of our sins: have mercy on us.Jesus, redeemer of the world: give us your peace.

Celebrant:Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Happy are those who are called to his supper.All: Lord, I am not worthy to receive you,but only say the word and I shall be healed.

28. The Communion Antiphon:

The Celebrant receives Holy Communion and says:

17

He gives heavenly bread to the hungry,and to the thirsty water from the living spring.

Christ the Lord himself comes, who is Alpha and Omega.He shall come again to judge us all.

29. Prayer of Elevation:

Celebrant: Come, you holy ones, receive the body of Christ,drinking the holy blood by which you were redeemed.(Stowe)

Stories from the Rich Past of Our Parish Submitted by St. John’s Heritage Chairperson, George Munroe

The Corporation of St. John's Anglican Church, Lunenburg, will celebrate the one hundred and seventieth anniversary of the founding of the Parish on Sunday, July 29th,1923. The British Government, through the First Lord of the Admiralty, London, has graciously consented to send H.M.S.WISTARIA to represent the British Royal Navy on this memorable occasion.

The Canadian Government will be represented by H.M.C.S. PATRIOT, through the courtesy of the Hon. Minister of Defence of Canada. The officers and men of the fleet will parade to service which will be held on the Parade outside the church, where the settlers worshiped for some months before the Church was completed.

The Governor of Nova Scotia, the Hon. MacCallum Grant, a direct descendant of the first Rector of the Parish, will be present at the celebration, together with the County Representatives in the Federal and Provincial Parliaments, the Premier of Nova Scotia, Mayor and Town Officials, veterans and cadets.
