Prelude
Collect of the Day
Overture from Firework Music
G. F. Handel
O God, who before the passion of your only begotten Son
revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that
we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be
strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Ghost, one God, for
ever and ever. Amen.

Psalm 50
1
2
3
The LORD, the God of gods, has spoken; *
he has called the earth from the rising of the
sun to its setting.
4 He calls the heavens and the earth from above *
to witness the judgment of his people.
5
“Gather before me my loyal followers, *
those who have made a covenant with me
and sealed it with sacrifice.”
6
Let the heavens declare the rightness of his cause; *
For God himself is judge.
[ANT]
Out of Zion, perfect in its beauty,*
God reveals himself in glory.
Our God will come and will not keep silence; *
before him there is a consuming flame,
and round about him a raging storm.
[ANT]

Prayers of the People
The word of God calls us to see that all the places and occasions of the world, even places like sorrow and death, are
transfigured by the presence of the glory of God in Christ Jesus. Let us now call to mind all who are in any need and commend them to God’s transforming care, saying: O merciful
God, hear our prayer.
For those who are alone, for widows and widowers and orphans, O merciful God: Hear our prayer.
We pray for the special needs and concerns of this community.
We pray for the men and women serving in the armed forces,
especially those listed in our prayer list, that they and their families may be sustained by grace. We pray for our Vestry, staff and
lay leaders that God may guide them in their work and ministry.
And now, let us offer to God the names of those for whom we
pray, either silently or aloud.
The celebrant adds a concluding collect
With Moses and Elijah and all the people of God, with the
church throughout the ages bearing witness to the great light of
God shining in dark places, we commend to you all for whom
we pray, O merciful God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Confession of Sin and The Peace
Book of Common Prayer, p. 360
Walk-Up Hymns
For the imprisoned, for those whose only home is the streets,
and for those caught by addiction, O merciful God: Hear our
prayer.
For the hungry, for those who cannot feed their children, and
for the unemployed and underemployed, O merciful God:
Hear our prayer.
For refugees, for the victims of warfare, and for those held in
poverty, O merciful God: Hear our prayer.

For preachers and teachers of the light-bearing word of Christ,
O merciful God: Hear our prayer.
For the church and its leaders, formed by the life-giving word
of Christ, O merciful God: Hear our prayer.

prayer.

again join other churches in our

times, 10:00am - 12:00

05:00pm, giving busy people in the area a
chance to participate in this Lenten tradition,
and to learn about the friendly family at COS!
Father Harvey will be on hand, but in order to
facilitate the day, we need volunteers to sign up
for each 2-hour shift to help distribute ashes .
Sign-up sheets are posted on the bulletin
boards next to the Commons. You can read

Ministry’s Next Step Program provides assistance to people

Episcopal COS is sponsoring a table.

If you have palms from last year’s Palm Sunday, please bring
them… we will burn them around 7:00pm.
Please bring a can of food per person for the COS Food Pantry.
The breakfast is designed to provide a “snapshot” of the work
of the Next Step program. A complimentary breakfast is served,
and guests will be invited to make a financial contribution.
For more information or to RSVP, please contact Kathy Staudt
at [email protected] or Steve Brushett at
[email protected].
If you wish to come in costume, please do so!
For pastoral emergencies (someone has gone into the hospital or has died) after office hours, please call the Pastoral
Care Line at 301-602-6570. Be sure to leave the name of the hospital. Your call will be returned as quickly as possible.
Please send all announcements or schedule changes to the church office by email at:
[email protected] or by phone at 301-439-5900. To be included in the Sunday bulletin, all announcements must be received by noon on Wednesday, unless otherwise noted.
Many thanks to those who have pledged their financial commitments to
the church for 2015. As of February 1, 2015, we have received 206
pledges for a total of $341,212.00. Of these, 28 are new pledges totaling
$23,796.00. 26 pledges from members attending the Spanish service
total $7,402.00. 45 members who pledged in 2014 have not turned
in a pledge card for 2015, though some are still contributing to the
church, and many have received calls from members of the stewardship
committee.
If you have turned in a pledge card but do not see your name here, please contact the church office at
[email protected] or 301-439-5900 or see our Givings Recorder, Kathy Staudt.

Gracious God, watch over these your children. Send your healing power upon those who are sick, protect

In an effort to keep the “Short Term Needs” list as current as
possible, we will purge and renew this list every thirty days.
Persons who have need for prayer longer than thirty days
should be submitted to the “In Continuing Prayer” list.
If you find that someone has been removed from the short term
list who should instead be placed on the Continuing Prayer list,
please call or email the church office at
