We Offer Our Visitors a Warm Welcome
The Episcopal Church welcomes all baptized Christians to receive Holy Communion. If the
chancel steps are an impediment to you, please advise an usher, and the communion
elements will be brought to you. For more information about baptism, the rite of Christian
initiation, please contact the church office or speak with one of the clergy.
Please identify yourself to our Welcome Committee greeters who will be in the narthex following
the service and join us for coffee in the Parish Hall Parlor after this service.
Should you desire it, infants and toddlers through age four are lovingly cared for in our
professionally staffed nursery every Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants
grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the
eternal Trinity, and in the power of your Divine Majesty to worship the
Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last
to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son
and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
The Proclamation of The Word
The First Reading........................................................................................ Isaiah 6:1-8
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high
and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple. Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, and
with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. And one called to
another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full
of his glory.” The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of those who
called, and the house filled with smoke. And I said, “Woe is me! I am lost, for
I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; yet my
eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!” Then one of the seraphs flew to
me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs.
The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: “Now that this has touched
your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out.” Then I heard
the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I; send me!”
The Gradual........................................ Here I Am, Lord
I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard My people’s cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save.
I, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear My light to them?
Whom shall I send? I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne My people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak My word to them.
Whom shall I send? (To Chorus)
Chorus:
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in My heart.
I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them.
My hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide,
‘Til their hearts be satisfied.
I will give My life to them.
Whom shall I send? (To Chorus)

The Psalm 29 & Response.......The Lord will bless His people with peace;
.
The Lord will bless His people with peace
1 Ascribe to the Lord, you gods, *
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his Name; *
worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;
the God of glory thunders; *
the Lord is upon the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is a powerful voice; *
the voice of the Lord is a voice of splendor.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedar trees; *
the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon;
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, *
and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord splits the flames of fire;
the voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; *
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
8 The voice of the Lord makes the oak trees writhe *
and strips the forests bare.
9 And in the temple of the Lord *
all are crying, “Glory!”
10 The Lord sits enthroned above the flood; *
the Lord sits enthroned as King for evermore.
11 The Lord shall give strength to his people; *
the Lord shall give his people the blessing of peace.
The Second Reading............................................................................ Romans 8:12-17
Brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the
flesh — for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you
put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit
of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall
back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba!
Father!” it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children
of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ —
if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
Sequence Hymn.........................................Abba Father!
If you seek me, you will find me,
Abba, Father, Send Your Spirit,
Glory Jesus Christ. (repeat)
If you knock, it will be opened,
Glory Jesus Christ.
Glory Jesus Christ. (repeat)
Abba, Father, Send Your Spirit,
Glory Jesus Christ.
(To Chorus)
Chorus:
Glory Alleluia,
Glory Jesus Christ.
Glory Alleluia,
Glory Jesus Christ.
If you listen, you will hear me,
Glory Jesus Christ. (repeat)
If you hear me, you will serve me,
Glory Jesus Christ. (repeat)
(To Chorus)
If you let me, I will heal you,
Glory Jesus Christ. (repeat)
If you love me, you will follow,
Glory Jesus Christ. (repeat)
(To Chorus)
The Gospel.................................................................................................... John 3:1-17
Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. He came to Jesus
by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from
God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God.” Jesus
answered him, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can anyone be born after having
grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus
answered, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being
born of water and Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the
Spirit is spirit. Do not be astonished that I said to you, ‘You must be born from above.’
The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know
where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered him, “Are you a
teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things? Very truly, I tell you, we
speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our
testimony. If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you
believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except
the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the
serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes
in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so
that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed,
God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the
world might be saved through him.”
