OPENING HYMN              “A Mighty Fortress”                                        Hymn #688

 

1  A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;

    our helper he amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:

    for still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;

    his craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,

    on earth is not his equal.

 

 

2  Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;

    were not the right man on our side, the man of God’s own choosing:

    dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he;

    Lord Sabaoth his Name, from age to age the same,

    and he must win the battle.

 

 

3  And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us;

    we will not fear, for God hath willed his truth to triumph through us;

    the prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him;

    his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure,

    one little word shall fell him.

 

 

4  That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;

    the Spirit and the gifts are ours through him who with us sideth:

    let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;

    the body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,

    his kingdom is for ever.

Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom all secrets
are hid: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit,
that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name: through Christ
our Lord.  Amen.

 

 

HYMN OF PRAISE                     Glory to God     

 

Glory to God in the highest, and peace to God’s people on earth.

Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory.

 

Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, receive our prayer.

 

For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father.  Amen.

 

Celebrant          The Lord be with you.
      People          And also with you

Celebrant          Let us pray.

 

 

COLLECT OF THE DAY

Celebrant

Almighty and everlasting God, increase in us the gifts of faith, hope, and charity; and, that we
may obtain what you promise, make us love what you command; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.   Amen.

 

                                      Please be seated.

 

First Lesson              Job 42:1-6, 10-17

 

Job said:

Job answered the Lord:
     “I know that you can do all things,
          and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
     ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’
     Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
          things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
     ‘Hear, and I will speak;
          I will question you, and you declare to me.’
     I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
          but now my eye sees you;
     therefore I despise myself,
          and repent in dust and ashes.”

And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he had prayed for his friends; and
the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Then there came to him all his
brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they ate bread with him
in his house; they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that
the Lord had brought upon him; and each of them gave him a piece of money and
a gold ring. The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had
fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand
donkeys. He also had seven sons and three daughters. He named the first Jemimah, the
second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch. In all the land there were no women so
beautiful as Job’s daughters; and their father gave them an inheritance along with their
brothers. After this Job lived for one hundred and forty years, and saw his children, and
his children’s children, four generations. And Job died, old and full of days.

 

The Word of the Lord            Response:  Thanks be to God.

 

 

PSALM                  Psalm 34:1-8, 19-22             Please read responsively

 

1 I will bless the Lord at all times; *
     his praise shall ever be in my mouth.

 

2 I will glory in the Lord; *
     let the humble hear and rejoice.

 

3 Proclaim with me the greatness of the Lord; *
     let us exalt his Name together.

 

4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me *
     and delivered me out of all my terror.

 

5 Look upon him and be radiant, *
     and let not your faces be ashamed.

 

6 I called in my affliction and the Lord heard me *
     and saved me from all my troubles.

 

7 The angel of the Lord encompasses those who fear him, *
     and he will deliver them.

 

8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; *
     happy are they who trust in him!

 

19 Many are the troubles of the righteous, *
     but the Lord will deliver him out of them all.

 

20 He will keep safe all his bones; *
     not one of them shall be broken.

 

21 Evil shall slay the wicked, *
     and those who hate the righteous will be punished.

 

22 The Lord ransoms the life of his servants, *
     and none will be punished who trust in him.

 

 

EPISTLE                  Hebrews 7:23-28

 

The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from
continuing in office; but Jesus holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues
forever. Consequently he is able for all time to save those who approach God through
him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

 

For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, undefiled,
separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. Unlike the other high priests,
he has no need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for those
of the people; this he did once for all when he offered himself. For the law appoints as
high priests those who are subject to weakness, but the word of the oath, which came
later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.

 

The Word of the Lord.             Response    Thanks be to God.

 

 

GOSPEL HYMN             “From deepest woe I cry to thee”                    Hymn #151

 

1  From deepest woe I cry to thee;

          Lord, hear me, I implore thee!

     Bend down thy gracious ear to me;

          I lay my sins before thee.

     If thou rememberest every sin,

     if nought but just reward we win,

          could we abide thy presence?

 

2  Thou grantest pardon through thy love;

          thy grace alone availeth.

     Our works could ne’er our guilt remove;

          yea, e’en the best life faileth.

     For none may boast themselves of aught,

     but must confess thy grace hath wrought

          whate’er in them is worthy.

 

3  And thus my hope is in the Lord,

          and not in my own merit;

     I rest upon his faithful word

          to them of contrite spirit.

     That he is merciful and just,

     here is my comfort and my trust;

          his help I wait with patience.

 

 

GOSPEL                Mark 10:46-52

Gospeler     The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark
    People     Glory to you Lord Christ.

 

Jesus and his disciples came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a large crowd were
leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside.
When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, “Jesus,
Son of David, have mercy on me!” Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out
even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stood still and said, “Call him
here.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart; get up, he is calling you.”
So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. Then Jesus said to him, “What
do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “My teacher, let me see again.”
Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight
and followed him on the way.

 

The Gospel of the Lord.          Response      Praise to you Lord Christ

 

 

SERMON                                                                                         The Rev. Cricket Park

 

 

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.

                     

 

                  THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE – Form III

 

The Leader and People pray responsively.

 

Father, we pray for your holy Catholic Church;
That we all may be one.

 

Grant that every member of the Church may truly and humbly serve you;
That your Name may be glorified by all people.

 

We pray for all bishops, priests, and deacons;
That they may be faithful ministers of your Word and Sacraments.


We pray for all who govern and hold authority in the nations of the world;
That there may be justice and peace on the earth.

 

Give us grace to do your will in all that we undertake;
That our works may find favor in your sight.

 

Have compassion on those who suffer from any grief or trouble;
That they may be delivered from their distress.

 

Give to the departed eternal rest.
Let light perpetual shine upon them.

 

We praise you for your saints who have entered into joy;
May we also come to share in your heavenly kingdom.

 

Let us pray for our own needs and those of others.

 

You may offer your prayers silently or aloud.

 

Celebrant:

 

Hasten, O God, the coming of your kingdom; and grant that we your servants, who
now live by faith, may with joy behold your Son at his coming in glorious majesty;
even Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Advocate.  Amen.

 

CONFESSION

 

Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.

 

Silence may be kept.

 

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.

 

THE PEACE  

Celebrant:  The peace of the Lord be always with you.
People:       And also with you.

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING – Eucharistic Prayer A

 

Celebrant       The Lord be with you.                   

People            And also with you.

Celebrant      Lift up your hearts.

People          We lift them to the Lord.

Celebrant     Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

People          It is right to give our thanks and praise.

 

Celebrant

It is right, and a good and joyful think, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father
Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. For by water and the Holy Spirit you have made us
a new people in Jesus Christ our Lord, to show forth your glory in all the world.

 

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:

 

Sanctus – Holy Holy Holy                                 The Hymnal 1982, Service Music, #124

 

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.

 

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:

 

Celebrant and People:
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.

 

Our Father in heaven,

     hallowed be your Name,

     your kingdom come,

     your will be done,

          on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

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, the power, and the glory, forever and ever.  Amen.

 

THE FRACTION

 

Celebrant        Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.
Response        Therefore let us keep the feast.

 

INVITATION TO COMMUNION:

Celebrant:     The gifts of God for the people of God.

 

All are invited to God’s table. Receive the bread with outstretched hands. You may
sip from the chalice or lightly dip the wafer into the wine. (Please use hand sanitizer
available in the aisle.) If you prefer a blessing, cross your arms over your chest as a
signal to the ministers.

 

COMMUNION HYMN        “Before thy throne, O God, we kneel”                Hymn #575

 

1 Before thy throne, O God, we kneel:
give us a conscience quick to feel,
a ready mind to understand
the meaning of thy chastening hand;
whate’er the pain and shame may be,
bring us, O Father, nearer thee.

 

2 Search out our hearts and make us true;
help us to give to all their due.
From love of pleasure, lust of gold,
from sins which make the heart grow cold,
wean us and train us with thy rod;
teach us to know our faults, O God.

 

3 For sins of heedless word and deed,
for pride ambitious to succeed,
for crafty trade and subtle snare
to catch the simple unaware,
for lives bereft of purpose high,
forgive, forgive, O Lord, we cry.

 

4 Let the fierce fires which burn and try,
our inmost spirits purify:
consume the ill; purge out the shame;
O God, be with us in the flame;
a newborn people may we rise,
more pure, more true, more nobly wise.

 

 

POSTCOMMUNION PRAYER

 

Celebrant       Let us pray.

Eternal God, heavenly Father,
you have accepted us as living members
of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ,
and you have fed us with spiritual food
in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood.
Send us now into the world in peace,
and grant us strength and courage
to love and serve you
with gladness and singleness of heart;
through Christ our Lord.  Amen

 

THE BLESSING

The blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you, and remain with you always.  Amen.

 

CLOSING HYMN          “Gracious Spirit, give your servants Joy”                            WLP #782

 

1  Gracious Spirit, give your servants

          joy to set sin’s captives free,

     hope to heal the brokenhearted,

          peace to share love’s liberty.

     Through us bring your balm of gladness

          to the wounded and oppressed;

     help us claim and show God’s favor

          as a people called and blessed.

 

2  Word made flesh, who gave up glory

          to become our great high priest,

     taking on our human nature

          to redeem the last and least:

     let your courage and compassion

          shape and guide our ministries;

     as our Savior and our Shepherd,

          lead us to the truth that frees.

 

3  Loving God, who birthed creation

          from the nothingness of space,

     kindling life where all was empty,

          turning chaos into grace:

     when we feel confused and fruitless,

          dawn upon our restless night;

     give us faith’s imagination,

          hope’s renewing, love’s delight.

 

4  Triune God, eternal Being,

          never ending, unbegun,

     boundless grace and perfect justice,

          righteous and forgiving One:

     so enfold us in your mercy

          that our wills and yours unite;

     through us may the world behold you,

          find your love, your truth, your light.

2025 St. Mark’s Stewardship Campaign
Stewardship is about our relationship to God as
stewards of the world God has created. Each of
us has been given a definitive trust of a portion of
God’s world – an abundance of gifts of time, talent
and treasure with which God has blessed us. Jesus
said, “From everyone to whom much has been
given, much will be required” (Luke 12: 48). Please
submit your pledge by November 3, 2024, to allow
it to be included with others as a special offering at
our worship service on that day.

Episcopal Relief and Development—Hurricane Relief
Since the storm hit, we are supporting dioceses, faith-based and community-led organizations
throughout the Southeast and are currently working in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina to bring
emergency assistance across a wide swath of areas impacted by the hurricane.

 

Your gifts to our Hurricane Relief Fund (www.episcopalrelief.org) will support the emergency needs
of communities in Western North Carolina, where massive flooding has created major challenges
for those with damage and destruction to their homes and everyone else reliant on power, water,
transport and communications.

 

As you know, this is just the beginning of ER-D’s relief efforts on the ground. Offering support in the
wake of a disaster isn’t just about the first days of an emergency, or even the first few weeks. It’s
about digging in our heels and walking alongside our local partners as they move through the phases
of this disaster. ER-D is there long after the TV cameras leave — after the water recedes, the
winds die down and communities begin to pick up the pieces. They stay for the long haul, and their
approach is inclusive, comprehensive and forward-looking. Your support, and your prayers, are a
source of great strength on this journey.

 

 

St. Arbuck’s Welcomes You!
This coffee house ministry at the Kroger Starbucks happens on Wednesday mornings
from 10:00 a.m. to Noon. It’s a chance to get to know your fellow St. Mark’s parishioners
and meet some neighborhood folks. There are a few folks who take the opportunity
afterward to shop for the food pantry! Inviting someone to have coffee is an easier
task than asking them to church, so use St. Arbuck’s as your ‘side door’ to introduce a
non-church going friend to our community.

 

 

I Sing a Song of the Saints of God:
The Puppet Show
People of all ages are invited to be a part of this All Saints’ Sunday
extravaganza. Please come to our rehearsal after church.
The Show will go on November 3rd. Be sure to invite your friends!

Outreach at St. Mark’s: Make a difference right now

 

Neighborhood Bridges
Using the platform created by Neighborhood Bridges, which identifies specific needs for
individuals in participating school districts, we will be meeting urgent personal needs
for students at Riverside’s Mad River Local Schools. The Outreach Committee will be
choosing different “Opportunities for Kindness” which will be announced in church, and
inviting parishioners to participate by donating the requested items the following week.
This program connects us directly to neighbors who need support in concrete and
manageable ways. For more information about Neighborhood Bridges, visit
https://www.neighborhoodbridges.org. For questions about fulfilling needs selected by
the Outreach Committee, see the flyers in your pew or email Justine Kelly.

 

Canterbury Court
Episcopal Retirement Services is proud to offer rent-subsidized, affordable senior living
communities that provide a variety of options and services not often found in communities
for seniors with limited incomes. As part of ERS, Canterbury Court, an affordable housing
community in West Carrollton, is looking for volunteers to join it in its mission to enrich the
lives of its seniors. Contact Jim Rudd for more information.

 

CARE House
CARE House involves a partnership between Dayton Children’s Hospital, Montgomery
County Prosecutor’s Office, Dayton Police Department, Montgomery County Sheriff’s
Office and Montgomery County Department of Job and Family Services- Children’s
Services Division. In addition to these founding partners, all law enforcement agencies
in Montgomery County partner with CARE House for their child abuse investigations. We
accept donations of individual snacks, small water bottles, stuffed animals (huggable
sized), and gift cards (gas, Walmart, fast food) and pass them on to CARE House.

“We gather for worship, education and mutual support;

welcome all people; and serve the community in God’s name”.

 

A prayer for St. Mark’s in a time of transition:

O Lord, Father of life and change, of new and old: You gifted us with abilities to speak and listen, to hear and decide, to choose and know. We thank you for teaching us how to used these abilities, though we must at times remember to combine them with patience. Remind us to speak with kindness, to listen to understand, to hear all voices, to decide on what is just and true, to choose the path of peace, and to know we are not alone. Be with us in this time of transition, that it is as effective as it is unsettling, as comforting as it is confusing. And never leave our side on the journey ahead, as we strive for an unknown destination. In the name of your Son Jesus, who walks alongside us, we pray. Amen.
