OPENING HYMN            “Father all loving, who rulest in majesty            HYMN #568

 

1. Father all loving,
who rulest in majesty,
judgement is thine,
and condemneth our pride;
stir up our leaders
and peoples to penitence,
sorrow for sins that
for vengeance have cried.

 

2. Blessed Lord Jesus,
who camest in poverty,
sharing a stable
with beasts at thy birth,
stir us to work
for thy justice and charity,
truly to care
for the poor of the earth.

 

3. Come, Holy Spirit,
create in us holiness,
lift up our lives
to thy standard of right;
stir every will
to new ventures of faithfulness,
flood the whole Church
with thy glorious light.

 

4. Holiest Trinity, perfect in unity,
bind in thy love
every nation and race;
may we adore thee
for time and eternity,
Father, Redeemer,
and Spirit of grace.

First Lesson       2 Samuel 1:1, 17-27    A lesson from the first book of Samuel

 

The A lesson from the second book of Samuel

 

After the death of Saul, when David had returned from defeating the Amalekites,
David remained two days in Ziklag.

 

David intoned this lamentation over Saul and his son Jonathan. (He ordered that
The Song of the Bow be taught to the people of Judah; it is written in the Book of
Jashar.) He said:

 

Your glory, O Israel, lies slain upon your high places!
How the mighty have fallen!

 

Tell it not in Gath,
proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon;
or the daughters of the Philistines will rejoice,
the daughters of the uncircumcised will exult.

 

You mountains of Gilboa,
let there be no dew or rain upon you,
nor bounteous fields!
For there the shield of the mighty was defiled,
the shield of Saul, anointed with oil no more.

 

From the blood of the slain,
from the fat of the mighty,
the bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
nor the sword of Saul return empty.

 

Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely!
In life and in death they were not divided;
they were swifter than eagles,
they were stronger than lions.

 

O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,
who clothed you with crimson, in luxury,
who put ornaments of gold on your apparel.

 

How the mighty have fallen
in the midst of the battle!

 

Jonathan lies slain upon your high places.
I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan;
greatly beloved were you to me;
your love to me was wonderful,
passing the love of women.

 

How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war perished!

 

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

 

 

PSALM                   Psalm 130              Please read responsively

 

1 Out of the depths have I called to you, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice; *
let your ears consider well the voice of my supplication.

 

2 If you, Lord, were to note what is done amiss, *
O Lord, who could stand?

 

3 For there is forgiveness with you; *
therefore you shall be feared.

 

4 I wait for the Lord; my soul waits for him; *
in his word is my hope.

 

5 My soul waits for the Lord,
more than watchmen for the morning, *
more than watchmen for the morning.

 

6 O Israel, wait for the Lord, *
for with the Lord there is mercy;

 

7 With him there is plenteous redemption, *
and he shall redeem Israel from all their sins.

 

 

EPISTLE    2 Corinthians 8: 7-15    A Reading from the second letter of Paul to the Corinthians.

 

As we work together with Christ, we urge you also not to accept the grace of God
in vain. For he says,

 

“At an acceptable time I have listened to you,
and on a day of salvation I have helped you.”

 

As you excel in everything– in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in utmost eagerness,
and in our love for you– so we want you to excel also in this generous undertaking.

 

I do not say this as a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love
against the earnestness of others. For you know the generous act of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that
by his poverty you might become rich. And in this matter I am giving my advice: it
is appropriate for you who began last year not only to do something but even to
desire to do something– now finish doing it, so that your eagerness may be
matched by completing it according to your means. For if the eagerness is there,
the gift is acceptable according to what one has– not according to what one does
not have. I do not mean that there should be relief for others and pressure on
you, but it is a question of a fair balance between your present abundance and
their need, so that their abundance may be for your need, in order that there may
be a fair balance. As it is written,

 

“The one who had much did not have too much,
and the one who had little did not have too little.”

 

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

 

 

GRADUAL        “Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us”                             HYMN #559

 

1  O bless the Lord, my soul!

       His grace to thee proclaim!

   And all that is within me join

       to bless his holy Name!

 

2  O bless the Lord, my soul!

       His mercies bear in mind!

   Forget not all his benefits!

       The Lord to thee is kind.

 

3  He will not always chide;

       he will with patience wait;

   his wrath is ever slow to rise

       and ready to abate.

 

4  He pardons all thy sins,

       prolongs thy feeble breath;

   he healeth thine infirmities

       and ransoms thee from death.

 

5  He clothes thee with his love,

       upholds thee with his truth;

   and like the eagle he renews

       the vigor of thy youth.

 

6  Then bless his holy Name,

       whose grace hath made thee whole,

   whose loving-kindness crowns thy days:

       O bless the Lord, my soul!

 

 

GOSPEL                    Mark 5:21-43

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

 

When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered
around him; and he was by the sea. Then one of the leaders of the synagogue
named Jairus came and, when he saw him, fell at his feet and begged him
repeatedly, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands
on her, so that she may be made well, and live.” So he went with him.

 

And a large crowd followed him and pressed in on him. Now there was a woman
who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years. She had endured
much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had; and she was no
better, but rather grew worse. She had heard about Jesus, and came up behind
him in the crowd and touched his cloak, for she said, “If I but touch his clothes, I
will be made well.” Immediately her hemorrhage stopped; and she felt in her body
that she was healed of her disease. Immediately aware that power had gone forth
from him, Jesus turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?”
And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing in on you; how can you
say, ‘Who touched me?’” He looked all around to see who had done it. But the
woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down
before him, and told him the whole truth. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has
made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”

 

While he was still speaking, some people came from the leader’s house to say,
“Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any further?” But overhearing
what they said, Jesus said to the leader of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.”
He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John, the brother
of James. When they came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, he
saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. When he had entered, he
said to them, “Why do you make a commotion and weep? The child is not dead
but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. Then he put them all outside, and took
the child’s father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the
child was. He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha cum,” which means,
“Little girl, get up!” And immediately the girl got up and began to walk about (she
was twelve years of age). At this they were overcome with amazement. He strictly
ordered them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something
to eat.

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.

People            And also with you.

Celebrant      Lift up your hearts.

People          We lift them to the Lord.

People          It is right to give our thanks and praise.

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:

 

Celebrant and People                                                              HYMNAL 1982 #S130

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 people stand or kneel. Then the Celebrant continues

 

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 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,

 

Celebrant and People

 

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 Mark 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 for ever.  AMEN.

 

As our Savior Christ has taught us, we now pray

 

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 sins
as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and
deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now
and forever.  Amen.

1  Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to thee;

RECESSIONAL HYMN                “The church’s one foundation”                  Hymn #525

 

1  The Church’s one foundation

          is Jesus Christ her Lord;

     she is his new creation

          by water and the word:

     from heaven he came and sought her

          to be his holy bride;

     with his own blood he bought her,

          and for her life he died.

 

2  Elect from every nation,

          yet one o’er all the earth,

     her charter of salvation,

          one Lord, one faith, one birth;

     one holy Name she blesses,

          partakes one holy food,

     and to one hope she presses,

          with every grace endued.

 

3  Though with a scornful wonder

          men see her sore oppressed,

     by schisms rent asunder,

          by heresies distressed;

     yet saints their watch are keeping,

          their cry goes up, “How long?”

     and soon the night of weeping

          shall be the morn of song.

 

4  Mid toil and tribulation,

          and tumult of her war

     she waits the consummation

          of peace for evermore;

     till with the vision glorious

          her longing eyes are blessed,

     and the great Church victorious

          shall be the Church at rest.

 

5  Yet she on earth hath union

          with God, the Three in One,

     and mystic sweet communion

          with those whose rest is won.

     O happy ones and holy!

          Lord, give us grace that we

     like them, the meek and lowly,

          on high may dwell with thee.

 

 

DISMISSAL

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.
