FRONT DOOR GOURMET FESTIVAL TICKETS: Sunday, March 22, 4-8 pm.
This fantastic event includes great food and auction items galore. Tickets are $100
per person but are available at $85 per person from Pastor Odie.
GOOD FRIDAY 7:00 P.M. SERVICE – We will be pleased to welcome our Bishop,
The Right Rev. Rob Hirschfeld, to worship with us at this Holy Week service.
IPOD DRIVE:
One of our parishioners, Sarah Heimberg, is collecting used iPods for
her Girl Scout Silver Award project, “Project Grace Notes: Music Therapy for Senior
Citizens.” Sarah is working with a senior living community in Bedford. The residents
in the community all have memory loss problems, because music is proven to boost
memory, she is collecting iPods for the residents to upload their music to listen on.
The iPods can be used, the more basic iPods, like the Shuffle, are preferred, and they
do not need to have their original battery life. Please drop off all iPods to the CGS
office or to one of the Clergy. The deadline for the Drive is March 29.

welcoming additional musicians to contribute to the festive celebration of the

THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD
The First Lesson
sitting
Jeremiah 31:31-34
The days are surely coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the
house of Israel and the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant that I made with
their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt-- a
covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, says the LORD. But this is the
covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will
put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and
they shall be my people. No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other,
"Know the LORD," for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,
says the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more.

Thanks be to God.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence
and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation and uphold me with thy free
spirit
The Gospel

John 12:20-33

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. John
Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Now among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. They
came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we wish to
see Jesus." Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told
Jesus. Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains
just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it,
and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves
me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves
me, the Father will honor.
"Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say-- `Father, save me from this hour'?
No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name."
Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again." The
crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, "An angel
has spoken to him." Jesus answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not for
mine. Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven
out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." He
said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

THE PARISH NOTICES
The Great Thanksgiving
LENT = RITE I - In Lent our response to “The Lord be with you” will continue to
be “And also with you”. Therefore ignore the response in the Prayer Book! In Lent
we use Rite I for all celebrations of the Holy Eucharist. Rite I helps us experience
the penitential nature of the season with its emphasis on our need for God’s
forgiveness and mercy - our “vertical” relationship with God. Beginning with Easter,
we return to Rite II, which emphasizes more the themes of joy, praise and the
“horizontal” nature of our relationship with God.

If you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are welcome to share in the Bread and Wine of
Communion, regardless of your denominational background. Come to the rail at the direction of the ushers.
Stand or kneel at the rail and receive the bread (a wafer) in the palm of your hand. Receive the wine either by
drinking from the cup (guiding it to your lips) or by touching the wafer, which you have retained, lightly to the
wine, being careful not to touch your fingers to the wine. If you decide not to receive the Bread and/or the Wine
and would prefer to receive a blessing, simply cross your arms over your chest. If you are in need of a Glutenfree wafer instead of the regular bread wafer, please indicate this to the clergy at the time you are receiving
communion.
Communion Motet (9:45):
J.S. Bach
O Saviour sweet, O Saviour mild, Thy Father's purpose thou hast fulfilled; Thou camest from heaven to
mortal ken, Equal to be with us poor men, O Saviour sweet, O Saviour mild. O Saviour sweet, O Saviour
mild, With joy thou hast the whole world filled; Thou camest here from heaven's domain, To bring us all
comfort in pain, O Saviour sweet, O Saviour mild. O Saviour sweet, O Saviour mild, In thee love's beauties
are all distilled; Then light in us thy love's bright flame, That we may give thee back the same, O Saviour
sweet, O Saviour mild. O Saviour sweet, O Saviour mild, Help us to do as thou hast willed. Lo, all we have
belongs to thee! Ah, keep us in our fealty, O Saviour sweet, O Saviour mild.

THE END OF WORSHIP - THE BEGINNING OF SERVICE
MAUNDY THURSDAY CORRECTION: In the middle of Maundy Thursday
Eucharist, we always share the Lamb Dinner as we try to re-enact Jesus’s actions in
the Upper Room when he shared the Passover Meal with the Apostles and then
instituted taking the Bread and Wine “In remembrance of me.” This year the Vestry
and clergy have decided that there will be NO CHARGE for the Lamb Dinner that
is part of the liturgy. Since we only have room for 150 people for this service you will
still be asked to make reservations by getting a ticket for the liturgy so that we can
have an accurate count in preparing enough lamb.
Please take note that the Lamb Dinner is part of the entire liturgy – it is not
appropriate to come and go for only that part of the service.
SOUP AND SEMINARS DINNER AT 6:00 PM, SEMINAR FROM 6:30 – 7:30 PM.
Our topic of discussion will be Redemption in the Midst of Brokenness:
Scripture, Family Systems Theory and You. Led by Pastor Alanna.

Cost to reserve your week vacation is $300 with the remaining $1,200 due in
January. Contact Pastor Odie or Laurie Ascani immediately if interested. Andy and

ADOPT-A-CHILD FOR EASTER BASKETS: Once again the Outreach Committee is
