THE WORD OF GOD
Please remain standing.
Celebrant: Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
People:
And blessed be God’s kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.
Celebrant
There is one Body and one Spirit;
People:
There is one hope in God’s call to us;
Celebrant: One Lord, one Faith, one Baptism;
People:
One God and Father of all.
Celebrant: The Lord be with you.
People:
And also with you.
Celebrant: Let us pray.
Celebrant: Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good things: Graft in our
hearts the love of your Name; increase in us true religion; nourish us with all
goodness; and bring forth in us the fruit of good works; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever.
People:
Amen.
THE FIRST READING
Read by Brian Schoeneman.
Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16
Please be seated.
Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by
doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those who
are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured,
as though you yourselves were being tortured. Let marriage be held in honor by all,
and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled; for God will judge fornicators and
adulterers. Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what
you have; for he has said, "I will never leave you or forsake you." So we can say
with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do
to me?" Remember your leaders, those who spoke the word of God to you; consider
the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same
yesterday and today and forever. Through him, then, let us continually offer a
sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name. Do not
neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to
God.
Reader:
The Word of the Lord.
People:
Thanks be to God.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.
THE HOLY GOSPEL
Luke 14:1, 7-14
On one occasion when Jesus was going to the house of a leader of the Pharisees to
eat a meal on the sabbath, they were watching him closely.When he noticed how
the guests chose the places of honor, he told them a parable. "When you are invited
by someone to a wedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of honor, in case
someone more distinguished than you has been invited by your host; and the host
who invited both of you may come and say to you, `Give this person your place,'
and then in disgrace you would start to take the lowest place. But when you are
invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may
say to you, `Friend, move up higher'; then you will be honored in the presence of all
who sit at the table with you. For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and
those who humble themselves will be exalted." He said also to the one who had
invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or
your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in
return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the
crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot
repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
Gospeller: The Gospel of the Lord.
People:
Praise to you, Lord Christ.

right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

the forgiveness of sins, the Resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

THANKSGIVING OVER THE WATER
Please be seated.
People:
And also with you.
Celebrant: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People:
It is right to give God thanks and praise.
Celebrant: We thank you, Almighty God, for the gift of water. Over it the Holy Spirit moved in
the beginning of creation. Through it you led the children of Israel out of their
bondage in Egypt into the land of promise. In it your Son Jesus received the baptism
of John and was anointed by the Holy Spirit as the Messiah, the Christ, to lead us,
through his death and resurrection, from the bondage of sin into everlasting life.
We thank you, Father, for the water of Baptism. In it we are buried with Christ in
his death. By it we share in his resurrection. Through it we are reborn by the Holy
Spirit. Therefore in joyful obedience to your Son, we bring into his fellowship
those who come to him in faith, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and the
Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Now sanctify this water, we pray you, by the power of your Holy Spirit, that those
who here are cleansed from sin and born again may continue for ever in the risen
life of Jesus Christ our Savior. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be all honor
and glory, now and for ever.
People:
Amen.

Celebrant: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People:
It is right to give God thanks and praise.
Celebrant: It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to
you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
Because in Jesus Christ our Lord you have received us as your sons and daughters,
made us citizens of your kingdom, and given us the Holy Spirit to guide us into all
truth.
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:

Please stand or kneel.
Celebrant: 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.
9
He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself in obedience to your
will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.
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.”
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 proclaim the mystery of faith:
Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.
Celebrant: We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise
and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you
these gifts.
Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your
Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that
we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy,
and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your
eternal kingdom.
All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ. 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.
People:
AMEN.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Celebrant: And now, as our Savior Christ has 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. 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 temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD
Celebrant: Alleluia! Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;
People:
Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia!
Celebrant: The Gifts of God for the People of God. Take them in remembrance that Christ
died for you, and feed on Him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.
10
All are welcome to receive Holy Communion with us. Our tradition is to receive
both bread and wine, sharing in the common cup. Please assist the chalice bearer by
guiding the cup to your lips. You may also intinct by dipping the wafer into the
chalice. You may wish to receive the bread only. Receiving the bread only is a valid
and acceptable way to share in Holy Communion. After consuming the wafer,
simply cross your arms over your chest to indicate that you do not wish to receive
the wine. Gluten-free wafers are available on request from the communion minister.
If you are feeling sick, please refrain from receiving the wine and be mindful of those near
you when passing the peace or shaking hands as you enter and exit the church.

TWO EASY WAYS TO HELP OTHERS
• The empty casserole pans in the Parish House are waiting to
be filled with food for our partnership with So Others Might
Eat (S.O.M.E.). St. John’s is committed to sending food once
a month to S.O.M.E. to be served in a meal program for
homeless and low-income persons in D.C. Participation is
easy and flexible! Pick up an empty casserole pan in the
Parish House, fill it with a casserole, and drop it off in the
freezer near the dining room soda machine. A parishioner
picks up all the casseroles once a month and drops them off at
the meal site.

Washington DC and East Capitol Street SE, Washington,

PASTORAL CARE AND PRAYER LIST CHANGES
Praying for the sick and those in need is a vital part of
our life as a faith community. I want to update you on
three changes that are going to take place regarding the
parish prayer list and pastoral care.
OUR PRAYERS are requested for the special needs and
concerns of this congregation, especially:
Those who are sick or recovering:
The first change is that we are going to begin
incorporating the parish prayer list into the e-newsletter
that goes out every Wednesday. That means that
beginning in August the weekly pastoral care email will
no longer be sent out. We’re doing this for several
reasons: 1. We want prayer to be an integral part of the
parish; 2. The weekly Leaflet reaches a much larger
audience than the pastoral care email; 3. The parish
staff is working to communicate in a more efficient and
effective way.
From our parish: Margo Arnold, John Culver, Chet Grey,
Ruth Harwood, Kenny Kraft, Jesus López, Jim Mullins, Leah
Proffitt, and Denzel Ramirez.
Friends and family of our parish: Melissa Black (Ann
Mueller), Bill Clark (Clark Ervin), Marcia Delucchi (Chris
Delucchi), Sender Dias Duarte (Sandra Franco), Henry
Farrington (Samuel Watson), Sarah Flynn (Ellen Parke),
Zariyah Frazier (Alexian Wines Semkow), Tyrone Gayle
(Jessica Sanchez), Craig Harmon (Judy McKevitt), Deanna
Kinsfather (Laurie Adams), Christy Long (Karen Zachary),
Abilia Cárdenas de Ma (Araceli Ma), Rosemary Mariner
(Carolyn Becraft), James Millin (Cay Buser), Timothy Mullins
(Jim Mullins), Judy Nicola (Cynthia Walker), Nancy Norelli
(Betsy Heine), Lisa O’Brien (Pamela Venzke), Susan Parsons
(Carolyn Becarft), Paul Pilling (Ellen Parke), Carolyn Pitts
(Ashley Litzenberger), Edward Rebok (Ellen Parke), Terry
Sinclair (Wande Johnson), Jim Tatosian (Pat Dalby), Eve
Thompson (Joanne Hutton), Mark Van Note (Pat and Jim
Czerwonky), Martha Warren (Kaye Edwards), Chip Williams
(Serina Freeman), and Peter Winkler (Betty van Iersel).
The second change is that we are going to work to
regularly update the parish prayer list. Other than
birthdays, anniversaries, and deaths, names added to the
prayer list will appear for four consecutive weeks and
after that they will be removed. If parishioners would
like a name to be on the prayer list for a shorter or
longer period of time, they just need to let us know.
The final change is that we are going to begin listing
in parentheses the name of the person requesting
prayers for family and friends who are not members
of the congregation. We hope this will make it easier
to identify particular prayer needs.
Those who are in the hospital:
From our parish: Gordon Richmond.
So what do you need to do? First, if you aren’t
subscribed to the weekly Leaflet, please email Serina
Freeman at [email protected] and she will
add you to that list. Second, keep the clergy and staff
updated on any pastoral care and prayer needs for
yourself and others. Third, be patient with us. Change
often means that kinks have to be worked out and that
things won’t be perfect at first. We will get there.
Finally, and most importantly, keep praying.
Friends and family of our parish: Lloyd S. Charters, Jr.
(Andrea Charters), Julie Howell (Cynthia Walker), Ernest
Kirby (Geegee Bryant), Mattie Pitts (Ashley Litzenberger),
George Wilkins, Sr. (Geegee Bryant).
Those who are in hospice:
Friends and family of our parish: Roger Block (John Peters
Irelan).
If you have any questions, please contact the Rev.
Andy Olivo at [email protected].

lower level of the Parish House. Take the elevator or stairs to the basement.
All persons, including children, are invited to take part in the Holy Eucharist. Parents may decide if their
children receive the bread and/or wine. Children may instead signal their desire to be blessed by the priest at the
altar by crossing their arms across their chest.

Welcome!
AT ST. JOHN’S CHURCH, we believe Christ is calling us to be a renewed church in a changing world.
Empowered by the Spirit of God, we respond to Jesus’ call as we deepen our bond with Christ through
worship, become a community where all are accepted, and work together as laity and clergy to do God’s
work in the world.
ST JOHN’S WAS ORGANIZED IN 1815 to serve as a parish church for Episcopalians residing in the
neighborhoods in the west end of the District of Columbia. Its cornerstone was laid on September 14,
1815, and it was consecrated on December 27, 1816. Beginning with James Madison, every person who
has held the office of President of the United States has attended a service at the church. Several
Presidents have been communicants. Thus, St. John’s is often referred to as the “Church of the
Presidents.” Pew 54 is the President’s Pew. The architect of the church was Benjamin Henry Latrobe,
who assisted in the rebuilding of the U.S. Capitol and the White House after the War of 1812. Twentyfive of the stained glass windows in St. John’s were designed and executed by artisans of the noted
Lorin firm of Chartres, France.
BROCHURES DESCRIBING PARISH LIFE, the history of St. John’s, and the Episcopal denomination can be
found in the church entrance. If you are visiting, please fill out the visitor information card found at the
end of each pew to enable us to welcome you personally into the life of our parish.
ST JOHN’S WEBSITE WWW.STJOHNS-DC.ORG has up-to-date information about the Church including the
weekly calendar, the Sunday service schedule, Adult Forum speakers and topics, the music calendar
and newsworthy events. If you’ve lost your copy of the weekly leaflet or monthly The Word, you can
find them on the website.
