to all of the baptized of all denominations. The
Episcopal Church has an open table and you are

palm over your left and you will be given the Bread;
the Wine will be offered and you may guide the chalice
to your lips. If you prefer not to drink from it, leave the
wafer on your palm and the chalice bearer will dip it
in the cup and place it in your mouth. If you wish to
receive a Blessing in lieu of the Elements, simply cross
your arms over your chest.

that station. These wafers are made from
rice and soy.
Pastoral Care

Hospitals no longer notify churches of your admission. If you have not received a visit or phone call
from the clergy within 24 hours of your hospitalization, it is likely we do not know you are in the hospital.
Please help us minister to you by calling the church
and letting us know.
Today’s Music
Liturgy We Live
Today’s organ prelude is the quietly intense “Choral
Dorien” by Jehan Alain(1911-1940). Alain was born
in Saint-Germain-en-Laye in the western suburbs of
Paris, into a family of musicians. His father, Albert
Alain (1880–1971) was an enthusiastic organist, composer and organ-builder who had studied with Alexandre Guilmant and Louis Vierne. His younger brother
was the composer, organist and pianist Olivier Alain
(1918–1994), his youngest sister the organist MarieClaire Alain (1926–2013). Between 1927 and 1939,
he attended the Paris Conservatoire. Alain was posthumously awarded the Croix de Guerre for his bravery
in WWII and was buried, by the Germans, with full
military honours. The postlude is the Plein Jeu of the
Second Suite by French composer Louis-Nicolas Clerambault (1676-1749). Like Alain, Clérambault came
from a musical family (his father and two of his sons
were also musicians). Clérambault became the organist at the church of the Grands-Augustins and entered
the service of Madame de Maintenon. After the death
of Louis XIV, he became organist at the church of
Saint-Sulpice and the royal house of Saint-Cyr.
by Dr. Gil Haas
In imperial Roman processions, the positions closer
to the emperor at the procession’s conclusion were
places of honor. Our Christian processions mimic this
scenario. A verger, with their verge, “clears the way”...
making a “path” through the congregation. The thurifer follows, employing incense to “cleanse” ceremoniously the building in which the procession proceeds.
The processional cross, or crucifix (in Anglo-Catholic
parishes), is next, lit by honorific torches emphasizing Christ’s importance. A single processional cross is
the norm in most Anglican processions. If a layperson
carries the Gospel book, that person follows next. If a
clergy carries the book, that clergy maintains their usual position. Banners are processed before the person(s)
that they honor. If the parish is honored with its banner, the banner precedes the choir, who process next.
Laypersons in the service follow the choir. A second,
smaller cross can be carried before the clergy processing in order of precedence: assisting priests, subdeacon
(replaced at St. Paul’s by a layperson who reads the
epistle), deacon, rector/dean (or celebrant if the bishop
is absent), bishop’s cross, bishop’s banner, bishop’s
chaplain (carrying the bishop’s crosier if the bishop
chooses not to), and finally, the bishop. Requested by
Stephanie Toney
Hymn Notes
Jesus shall reign where e’er the sun - Hymnal 544
This is a paraphrase of the second part of Psalm 72.
This missionary hymn was actually written 50 years
before the beginning of the modern missionary movement. Here is an example of Christianizing the Psalms,
for there was no doubt in Watts’ mind that the “King”
of the Psalm was Christ, whose kingdom would stretch
around the world.
If you have a liturgical question or an inquiry about
anything that transpires during or around our worship service, please forward the question you would
like researched to: gghaas@aol.com, or drop the
question in the offering basin. Please note whether
we can credit you as the source of the question.
God of grace and God of glory - Hymnal 594
This hymn text was written by Harry Emerson Fosdick
for the opening of Riverside Church in New York City.
Built with major financial support from the Rockefeller family, the church was opened on October 5, 1930.
To mark this occasion Fosdick wrote this hymn at his
summer home in Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

People and realms of every tongue
dwell on his love with sweetest song;
and infant voices shall proclaim
their early blessings on his Name.
Before the Service
Please keep a moment of silence to prepare your
hearts and minds for worship and if you so desire
you may use the following prayer:
Gracious Father, we pray for your holy catholic
Church. Fill it with all truth, in all truth with all peace.
Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it is in error, direct it; where in any thing it is amiss, reform it. Where
it is right, strengthen it; where it is in want, provide
for it; where it is divided, reunite it; for the sake of
Jesus Christ your Son our Savior. Amen.
Prelude
Blessings abound where-e’er he reigns:
the prisoners leap to lose their chains,
the weary find eternal rest,
and all who suffer want are blest.
Let every creature rise and bring
peculiar honors to our King;
angels descend with songs again,
and earth repeat the loud amen.
Choral Dorien

Hymnal 544, verses 1-5
Jesus shall reign where-e’er the sun
doth his successive journeys run;

A Reading from the First Epistle to the Thessalonians.
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the
Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace. We always give
thanks to God for all of you and mention you in our
prayers, constantly remembering before our God
and Father your work of faith and labor of love and
steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we
know, brothers and sisters beloved by God, that he has
chosen you, because our message of the gospel came
to you not in word only, but also in power and in the
Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know
what kind of persons we proved to be among you for
your sake. And you became imitators of us and of
the Lord, for in spite of persecution you received the
word with joy inspired by the Holy Spirit, so that you
became an example to all the believers in Macedonia
Engines and steel, loud pounding hammers,

Gospel
and in Achaia. For the word of the Lord has sounded
forth from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but
in every place your faith in God has become known, so
that we have no need to speak about it. For the people
of those regions report about us what kind of welcome
we had among you, and how you turned to God from
idols, to serve a living and true God, and to wait for
his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead-Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath that is coming.
W W W The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Matthew.
Glory to you, Lord Christ.
The Pharisees went and plotted to entrap Jesus in what
he said. So they sent their disciples to him, along with
the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you
are sincere, and teach the way of God in accordance
with truth, and show deference to no one; for you do
not regard people with partiality. Tell us, then, what
you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or
not?” But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why are
you putting me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me
the coin used for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. Then he said to them, “Whose head is this, and
whose title?” They answered, “The emperor’s.” Then
he said to them, “Give therefore to the emperor the
things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that
are God’s.” When they heard this, they were amazed;
and they left him and went away.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Gospel Hymn
Matthew 22:15-22
Hymnal 705, verses 1-2
As those of old their first fruits brought
of vineyard, flock, and field
to God, the giver of all good,
the source of bounteous yield;
so we today our first fruits bring,
the wealth of this good land,
of farm and market, shop and home,
of mind, and heart, and hand.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.
Gospel Hymn
A world in need now summons us
to labor, love, and give;
to make our life an offering
to God that all may live;
the Church of Christ is calling us
to make the dream come true:
a world redeemed by Christ-like love;
all life in Christ made new.
Hymnal 705, verse 3
With gratitude and humble trust
we bring our best to thee
to serve thy cause and share thy love
with all humanity.
O thou who gavest us thyself
in Jesus Christ thy Son,
help us to give ourselves each day
until life’s work is done.

Prayers
[Please stand if you are able]
Creed
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
Father, 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.
BCP 358
We pray for all bishops, priests, and deacons;
That they may be faithful ministers of your Word
and Sacraments.
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 pray for 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.
Have compassion on those who suffer from any grief
or trouble;
That they may be delivered from their distress.
W Give to the departed eternal rest.
Let light perpetual shine upon them.
We praise you for your saints who have entered into
joy;
May we also come to share in your heavenly kingdom.
Let us pray for our own needs and those of others.
Intercessions are offered at this time
You may now offer your own prayers,
either silently or out loud.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

Eucharistic Prayer A
BCP 367
Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you
made us for yourself; and, when we had fallen into
sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your
mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to
share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to
reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.
He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered
himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice
for the whole world.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give him thanks and praise.
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and
everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
On the night he was handed over to suffering and
death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when
he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to
his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body,
which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance
of me.”
Proper Preface BCP 377
For you are the source of light and life, you made us in
your image, and called us to new life in Jesus Christ
our Lord.
After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he
had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “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 sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”
Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with
Angels and Archangels and with all the company of
heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the
glory of your Name:

The Letter of Paul to the Galatians explores these questions and is one of the most important letters that Paul

justifies us and how through Christ we are set free. In
exploring these deep questions we will learn how Jesus
Christ impacts our lives and our faith today and everyday. Led by Dean Lindstrom in Dean Willey Hall.

Parlor Library
Are you in the mood to read a good mystery or adventure story as cooler weather sets in? Check the St.
Paul’s library in the Parlor where we have a large variety of “good reads” by well known authors. Also
find books in all categories: spiritual, self-help, travel,
hobbies, etc. Thank you to all who have donated books
as well as thanks to all who take books to borrow and
return or pass on to others OR simply keep. Since we
want all books to have a chance to be read, books will
remain on the shelves for about 6 months, and then be
donated to the YWCA Women’s Shelter or the Jesus
House to make room for other books now in storage.
