First Reading:  1 Samuel 16:1-13

 

   The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you grieve over Saul? I have rejected him from being king over Israel. Fill your horn with oil and set out; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons.”

     Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears of it, he will kill me.” And the Lord said, “Take a heifer with you, and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’ Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for me the one whom I name to you.” Samuel did what the Lord commanded, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, “Do you come peaceably?” He said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord; sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” And he sanctified Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.

     When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is now before the Lord.” But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.” Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.” Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, and Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen any of these.” Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your sons here?” And he said, “There remains yet the youngest, but he is keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here.” He sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome. The Lord said, “Rise and anoint him; for this is the one.” Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the presence of his brothers; and the spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. Samuel then set out and went to Ramah.

The Response: Psalm 23

 

1 The Lord is my shepherd; *
I shall not be in want.

 

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures *
and leads me beside still waters.

 

3 He revives my soul *
and guides me along right pathways for his Name’s sake.

 

4 Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil; *
for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

 

5 You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me; *
you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is running over.

 

6 Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, *

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

 

 

Second Reading:  Ephesians 5:8-14

 

     Once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light— for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true. Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what such people do secretly; but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Sleeper, awake! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

Gradual Hymn:  The Hymnal 1982, #645    The King of love my shepherd is (vs. 1,2,5,&6)

 

1  The King of love my shepherd is,

          whose goodness faileth never;

     I nothing lack if I am his,

          and he is mine for ever.

 

2  Where streams of living water flow,

          my ransomed soul he leadeth,

     and where the verdant pastures grow,

          with food celestial feedeth.

 

5  Thou spread’st a table in my sight;

          thy unction grace bestoweth;

     and oh, what transport of delight

          from thy pure chalice floweth!

 

6  And so through all the length of days

          thy goodness faileth never:

     Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise

          within thy house for ever.

 

 

The Gospel:  John 9:1-41

 

Celebrant    The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.
     People    Glory to you, Lord Christ.

As Jesus walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God’s works might be revealed in him. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man’s eyes, saying to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see. The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” Some were saying, “It is he.” Others were saying, “No, but it is someone like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” But they kept asking him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ Then I went and washed and received my sight.” They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”

     They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. Then the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I see.” Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not observe the sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And they were divided. So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” He said, “He is a prophet.”

     The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” His parents answered, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; but we do not know how it is that now he sees, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.” His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

     So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and they said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.” He answered, “I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” They said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” He answered them, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?” Then they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.” The man answered, “Here is an astonishing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to one who worships him and obeys his will. Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you trying to teach us?” And they drove him out.

     Jesus heard that they had driven him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” He answered, “And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.” Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he.” He said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped him. Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment so that those who do not see may see, and those who do see may become blind.” Some of the Pharisees near him heard this and said to him, “Surely we are not blind, are we?” Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.”

The Nicene Creed

 

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,
     maker of heaven and earth, of all that is,
     seen and unseen.

 

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
    the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father,

God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,

begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father.

Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

 

   We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
      who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Offertory Hymn: #593     Lord, make us servants of your peace

 

1  Lord, make us servants of your peace:

    where there is hate, may we sow love;

    where there is hurt, may we forgive;

    where there is strife, may we make one.

 

2  Where all is doubt, may we sow faith;

    where all is gloom, may we sow hope;

    where all is night, may we sow light;

    where all is tears, may we sow joy.

 

3  Jesus, our Lord, may we not seek

    to be consoled, but to console,

    nor look to understanding hearts,

    but look for hearts to understand.

 

4  May we not look for love’s return,

    but seek to love unselfishly,

    for in our giving we receive,

    and in forgiving are forgiven.

 

                           Please stand at the last verse

 

5  Dying, we live, and are reborn

    through death’s dark night to endless day:

    Lord, make us servants of your peace,

    to wake at last in heaven’s light.

 

 

The Holy Communion

 

The Great Thanksgiving   Eucharistic Prayer A, Book of Common Prayer, p. 361

 

Celebrant      The Lord be with you.
     People      And also with you.
Celebrant      Lift up your hearts.
     People      We lift them up to the Lord.
Celebrant      Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
     People      It is right to give him thanks and praise.

 

The Celebrant proceeds       It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.  Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who was tempted in every way as we are, yet did not sin. By his grace we are able to triumph over every evil, and to live no longer for our-selves alone, but for him who died and rose again.  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:

 

Celebrant and People

 

Sanctus:  Wonder Love & Praise, #858                                      Holy, holy, holy

 

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.

 

 

The Celebrant continues
     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.  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.

 

The Celebrant continues
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.  Amen.

 

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

 

The Lord’s Prayer, BCP p. 364

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, BCP pg. 364

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: Grant us peace.

 

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.

 

 

Communion Hymn:  The Hymnal 1982, #664           My Shepherd will supply my need

 

1  My Shepherd will supply my need,

        Jehovah is his Name;

    in pastures fresh he makes me feed

        beside the living stream.

    He brings my wandering spirit back

        when I forsake his ways,

    and leads me, for his mercy’s sake,

        in paths of truth and grace.

 

2  When I walk through the shades of death,

        thy presence is my stay;

    one word of thy supporting breath

        drives all my fears away.

    Thy hand, in sight of all my foes,

        doth still my table spread;

    my cup with blessings overflows,

        thy oil anoints my head.

 

3  The sure provisions of my God

        attend me all my days;

    oh, may thy house be mine abode

        and all my work be praise.

    There would I find a settled rest,

        while others go and come;

    no more a stranger or a guest,

        but like a child at home.

 

 

Please stand or kneel
