Wherever you are on your journey with or toward God, you are welcome here. We invite you to explore with us how Christ Church Cambridge may become for you a place to know God in the sustaining power of a community. Please fill out a yellow Welcome Card; this will help us get to know you better and contact you about life at Christ Church. An historic brochure is available in the rear of the church. Children are always welcome at services. On Sundays, nursery care for children up to age 3 is also available 8:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. in the Vestry Room, just beyond the Sanctuary. Children’s bulletins and crayons are available at the back of the church. For the small child who needs a break, parents may find soft toys and story books near the front doors of the church.

If you are not already on the email and regular mailing lists, please make a point of filling out a yellow Welcome Card.

Please stand, as you are able, when the introduction to the hymn begins. Opening Rite (H82 S-76) 1 O Source of vast creation Tune: Thaxted Gustav Holst (1874-1934) Text: Joseph O. Robinson (b. 1956) Hymn O source of vast creation 1 2 3 4 2 Collect of the Day Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Together, let us pray. 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 Lesson: Isaiah 6:1–8 Please be seated 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!” Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. 3 Please stand Hymn As newborn stars were stirred to song (WLP 788) 4 4 2 4 4 4 2 4 4 4 2 4 4 4 2 4 4 4 4 The Gospel: John 3:1–17 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.” The Sermon The Reverend Jonathan T. Eden 5 The Nicene Creed 6 All stand (H82 S-105) 7 The Prayers of the People Form VI (BCP 392) In peace, we pray to you, Lord God.

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. Celebrant Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

Recognition of Graduates Thanks to Choirs and Teachers 9 The Holy Communion The Offertory Hymn at 7:45 a.m. Come, thou almighty King 10 Please stand (H82 365) Anthem at 10:15 a.m. I saw the Lord John Stainer (1840–1901) I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he cover’d his face, and with twain he cover’d his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory. And the posts of the door mov’d at the voice of Him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. O Trinity! O Unity! Be present as we worship Thee, And with the songs that angels sing Unite the hymns of praise we bring. Amen. Text: Isaiah 6:1–4; Latin, c. 10th century, tr.

For with your co-eternal Son and Holy Spirit, you are one God, one Lord, in Trinity of Persons and in Unity of Being; and we celebrate the one and equal glory of you, O Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name: Sanctus 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 12 (H82 S-129) 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 We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory; 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 [ ___________ and] 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 forever. 13 The Lord’s Prayer 14 Fraction Anthem (WLP 865) You are welcome to receive Holy Communion in this church. Cup your palms to receive the bread and gently guide the base of the chalice to raise the cup to your lips. If your own tradition does not permit it, or if you are uncertain about receiving bread and wine, consider coming forward for a blessing and simply cross your arms over your chest. Communion Motet at 10:15 a.m. “Achieved is the glorious work,” from Creation Franz Josef Haydn (1732–1809) Achieved is the glorious work. Our song let be the praise of God!

Announcements received after that will be published the following week. Photo Directory: Erin Anguish is in attendance today to take portraits for the Parish Directory. You will find her, camera in hand, at the rear of the church after both services. Having a photo directory is a great way for people to get to know one another and put faces with names. So don’t be shy! Fun (and good food!) for everyone at the All Parish Picnic! Today at CCC following the 10:15 a.m. service: Join all your friends at this traditional event that marks the beginning of the summer and allows us time together before vacation schedules have many of us coming and going. Ongoing renovation of the Cambridge Common means that we will gather right at church, but this location won’t hold back the fun, food, or activities for young and old. Please plan to join us—rain or shine!! The Hospitality Committee will arrange for fried chicken and drinks. Potluck offerings will fill the rest of our plates. Please bring a salad (grain, green, potato, or pasta), another picnic side dish (chips or veggies?), or a dessert to share. Your contribution should be enough to serve six, please, which ensures that there is plenty for all. Weekly Thursday Morning Prayer: Come and pray with us for a half-hour service in the church on Thursday mornings at 8:00 a.m. Morning Prayer has a wonderful history going back to monastic and Judaic roots. For most of the twentieth century, it was the primary service on most Sunday mornings in the Episcopal Church. Please join us for this service, led by members of the laity. The first service will be held on Thursday, June 4, 8:00–8:30 a.m. Meals Program: You are invited to help serve a meal to the homeless on Thursday, June 4, starting at 5:50 p.m. All ages, including children, are welcome to help. Please report to the kitchen at 5:50 p.m. The program, through clean up, finishes by 7:15 p.m., but you are welcome to stay for any length of time that you have available. For further information, please contact Valerie Epps, [email protected] or Ted Hammett, [email protected]. Prison Mentoring: We are excited to have our prison mentoring teams up and running through our partnership with the Harvard Interfaith Prison Education (HIPE) program and Partakers! So far, five parishioners from Christ Church have joined, but for the sake of longer-term sustainability, it would be very helpful to have at least four more volunteers. If we get more than that, we could even take on another incarcerated student! If you’re interested in learning more about mentoring an inmate working on a B.U. degree behind bars, please get in touch with our Life Together Fellow, Zach Maher, at [email protected]. 23 Mental Health First Aid Training is an 8-hour course designed to help individuals identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illnesses, mental illness crises, and substance use disorders. This course is not intended to teach treatment of these issues, but rather, how to respond to individuals experiencing mental health issues and refer them to those who can help them. It is intended for anyone who is involved in a community. Clergy, church school teachers and leaders, youth ministers, meal program staff and volunteers, shelter staff and volunteers, police officers, human resource directors, primary care workers, school and college leadership, members of faith communities, friends and family of individuals with mental illness or addiction, or anyone interested in learning more about mental illness and addiction should get trained. Training is offered on Friday, June 12, 5:30–9:30 p.m. and Saturday, June 13, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at the Church of the Good Shepherd, 9 Russell Avenue, Watertown, MA 02472. Thanks to a generous grant from the Community Health Network Area 17, this course is offered free of charge to anyone who lives, works, or worships in Arlington, Belmont, Cambridge, Somerville, Waltham, or Watertown. Light meals will be offered at both sessions. If you are in another town in the Alewife Deanery, additional scholarship funds may be available. To enroll in the course, or if you have questions, please contact: The Rev. Jonathan Eden at jeden@ cccambridge.org or 617-876-0200 x211 Christ Church Cambridge goes to Fenway: Please join us on Sunday, August 16, for the 1:35 p.m. Red Sox game against the Seattle Mariners. CCC has reserved 27 tickets in the Right Field Grandstand for $35 a piece.

To reserve your spot, give payment of either cash or check (to: CCC; memo: “Red Sox Community Day”) to Michelle Davis (928-380-5966 or [email protected]). Some financial aid is also available. See you at the ball game! On the Rise: On The Rise is a day center for female victims of trauma, offering friendship; counseling; access to telephones; lunch; showers; safe nap rooms; television and reading materials; medical and dental counsel; and much more. Christ Church parishioners regularly supply clothing and items for personal care. Your travel-sized toiletries are much appreciated! Please continue to bring them to the church on Sundays or to the Parish Office during the week. For further information, contact Summer Akimoto at 781-391-9891 or [email protected]. Evensong Tour Blog: The Evensong Choir tour blog includes photos, commentary, and video from the recent tour to Paris and London. You can find the blog at https://ccchoirtour.wordpress. com/ St. Mary’s Food Pantry: We collect non-perishable food for St. Mary’s Food Pantry throughout the year. A basket for the purpose will be found in the foyer on Sunday mornings. Thanks so very much from the Walking In Love Committee. 24 Altar Flowers: Most of us are familiar with the opportunity to donate altar flowers at Easter and Christmas time to remember loved ones. Fewer people may be aware that, with the exception of Lent, they can donate altar flowers to memorialize family members or friends on a Sunday of their choosing, such as a date close to the birthday or death of a loved one. The names of those being remembered will be read during the Prayers of the People at the church service on that Sunday. If you would like to memorialize loved ones by donating the altar flowers on a particular Sunday, please contact Carey Bloomfield, the coordinator of weekly flowers for the Altar Guild, at [email protected] or 617-547-2925. 25 Christ Church Staff The Reverend Joseph O.

Our church home is a place of affirming sanctuary, where many find hospitality and hope, even redemption and peace. Worship here is always about thanksgiving and overflowing with themes of God’s grace, God’s call to justice, and our responsibility to one another as God’s children. We experience joy, laughter, and delight in moments of shared liturgical celebration, as we experience the awe of God’s presence among us in moments of ministry that include healing prayers, outreach, and pastoral care with the people around us. We continue to discern our ministry, as our hearts are continually tuned to sing God’s praise.
