Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ. Philippians 1:2
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.
Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us all our sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen us in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep us in
eternal life. Amen.
Lord, open our lips. And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia.
The earth is the Lord’s for he made it: Come let us adore him.
Jubilate Psalm 100
Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; serve the Lord with gladness and come before his presence with a song.
Know this: The Lord himself is God; he
himself has made us, and we are his; we are his people and the sheep of his
pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into
his courts with praise; give thanks to him and call upon his Name.
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting;
and his faithfulness endures from age to age.
Psalm 145:8-15
The Lord is gracious and full of
compassion, slow to anger and of great kindness.
The Lord is loving to everyone and his
compassion is over all his works.
All your
works praise you, O Lord, and
your faithful servants bless you.
They make
known the glory of your kingdom and speak of your power;
That the
peoples may know of your power and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
Your
kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; your dominion endures throughout all ages.
The Lord is faithful in all his words and
merciful in all his deeds.
The Lord upholds all those who fall; he
lifts up those who are bowed down.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever.
Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30
Jesus said to the crowd, “To what will I compare this
generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to one
another, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we wailed, and you did not mourn.’
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon’; the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”
At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
The Sermon
A Song of Praise Benedictus es, Domine
Glory to you, Lord God of our fathers; you are worthy of praise; glory to you.
Glory to you for
the radiance of your holy Name; we will praise you and highly exalt you for ever.
Glory to you in
the splendor of your temple; on the throne of your majesty, glory to you.
Glory to you
seated between the Cherubim; we will praise you and highly exalt you for ever.
Glory to you
beholding the depths; in the high vault of heaven, glory to you.
Glory to you,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit; we will praise you and highly exalt you for ever.
The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth;
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born
of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died,
and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right
hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of
saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen.
The Lord be with you. And also with you. Let us pray.
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.
Show us your mercy, O Lord; And grant us your salvation.
Clothe your ministers with righteousness; Let
your people sing with joy.
Give peace, O Lord, in all the world; For only in you can we live in safety.
Lord, keep this nation under your care; And guide us in the way of justice and truth.
Let your way be known upon earth; Your
saving health among all nations.
Let not the needy, O Lord, be forgotten; Nor
the hope of the poor be taken away.
Create in us clean hearts, O God; And
sustain us with your Holy Spirit.
The Collect of the Day
O God,
you have taught us to keep all your commandments by loving you and our
neighbor: Grant us the grace of your Holy Spirit, that we may be devoted to you
with our whole heart, and united to one another with pure affection; through
Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
A Collect for Sundays
O God, you make us glad with the weekly remembrance of the
glorious resurrection of your Son our Lord: Give us this day such blessing
through our worship of you, that the week to come may be spent in your favor;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A Collect for Guidance
Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We
humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the
cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that
we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Thanksgiving for the Nation (BCP page 838)
Almighty God, giver of all good things: We thank you for the natural majesty and beauty of this land. They restore us, though often we destroy them. Heal us.
We thank you for the great
resources of this nation. They make us rich, though we often exploit them. Forgive
us.
We thank you for the men and
women who have made this country strong.
They are models for us, though we often fall short of them. Inspire
us.
We thank you for the torch of
liberty which has been lit in this land.
It has drawn people from every nation, though we have often hidden from
its light. Enlighten us.
We thank you for the faith we
have inherited in all its rich variety.
It sustains our life, though we have been faithless again and again. Renew
us.
Help us, O Lord, to finish the
good work here begun. Strengthen our
efforts to blot out ignorance and prejudice, and to abolish poverty and
crime. And hasten the day when all our
people, with many voices in one united chorus, will glorify your holy Name. Amen.
Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the midst of them: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen.
Let
us bless the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine: Glory to him from generation to generation in the Church, and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:20,21
