Should you have forgotten to bring your UTO Offerings today, we will continue to collect them throughout the following weeks! -1- Thoughts (and Ramblings) from Fr. Hugh At the Easter Vigil and on Sundays when there is a Baptism, we all reaffirm our Baptismal Vows. The Prayer Book reminds us that our ministry is to represent Christ and his Church; to bear witness to him wherever we may be; to carry on Christ’s work of reconciliation in the world, according to the gifts given to us, and to take our place in the life and worship of our Church. As baptized Christians, our ministry takes place right where we work, live or study each day. We do minister to others through our church. But we are also called to go out beyond this holy place. We need to always be aware of what is happening in school, in the work place, and in our community where we can “proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ; to seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbor as yourself; to strive for justice and peace among all people, and to respect the dignity of every human being.” These are the promises we make. The Hon. Byron Rushing, an Episcopalian, and a State Representative in Massachusetts, makes the suggestion, “We should all frame our Baptismal Certificate and hang in on the wall where we will see it all the time.” Just as we clergy do with our certificates of ordination. So two ideas for this Easter Season; first, go look, go dig – maybe you don’t have to do that – and see if you can find your Baptismal certificate. And, secondly, drop a brief note of thanks to the Priest who baptized you. Now if that was long ago, take a moment and offer prayers for that person. Hugh+ P.S. I’m starting out on the search for my own! Today following each service: Report by the Transition Task Force The Transition Task Force will have an update after each service this morning.

People A READING FROM MARK 11:1-11 When they were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples and said to them, "Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden; untie it and bring it. If anyone says to you, `Why are you doing this?' just say this, `The Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately.'" They went away and found a colt tied near a door, outside in the street. As they were untying it, some of the bystanders said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?" They told them what Jesus had said; and they allowed them to take it. Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it; and he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields. Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David! Hosanna in the highest heaven!" Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple; and when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

God is the LORD; he has shined upon us; * form a procession with branches up to the horns of the altar. 28 "You are my God, and I will thank you; * you are my God, and I will exalt you." 29 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; * his mercy endures for ever. 27 THE BLESSING OF THE PALMS Celebrant The Lord be with you.

Amen. A READING FROM ISAIAH 50:4-9a The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens-- wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught. The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I did not turn backward. I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I did not hide my face from insult and spitting. The Lord GOD helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame; he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me. It is the Lord GOD who helps me; who will declare me guilty? Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. PSALM 31:9-16 Cantor sings the versicle—congregation sings the response -7- A READING FROM PAUL’S LETTER TO THE PHILIPPIANS 2:5–11 Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death-- even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.

Celebrant We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life. On the night before he died for us, 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.” 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, according to his command, O Father, Celebrant and People We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory; - 10 - The Celebrant continues And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine. We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation. By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. Amen. And now, as our Savior Christ hath taught us, we are bold to say, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
