and All Angels Episcopal Church
The Fifth Sunday After Pentecost
June 28, 2026
11 AM TRADITIONAL Saint Michael Chapel
WELCOME
FROM THE VICE RECTOR
The Rev. Ken Brannon
This week I am filled with gratitude. I am grateful for the construction workers and landscapers putting the finishing touches on our beautiful new building and grounds. We look forward to welcoming everyone into the new space on August 2. Until then, thank you for your patience as we complete the final details and prepare the building for occupancy.
I am grateful for your generosity, which made this project possible. Your gifts, prayers, and faith have helped create a campus that will serve our community and glorify God for years to come.
I am grateful for the children, youth, and volunteers who participated in Youth Mission Week and Vacation Bible School. As God instructed Moses, “Recite these words to your children... when you lie down and when you rise” (Deut. 6:7). Our staff, volunteers, and families continue to faithfully live out this calling.
I am grateful for Pub Theology, which welcomed our wider community into thoughtful conversations about today’s challenges through the lens of Christian faith, extending God’s good news beyond Saint Michael’s walls.
And on July 5, we will enjoy one of Saint Michael’s most beloved traditions: Pie for the 4th of July! Thank you to our bakers and everyone who will join us as we give thanks for our country and seek to live more fully into its highest ideals.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

The Fifth Sunday After Pentecost
Holy
Eucharist: Rite I
The service begins on page 323 of The Book of Common Prayer Hymns may be found in the blue hymnal in the pew rack.
The Word of God
Prelude
Vater unser im Himmelreich
Georg Böhm (1661–1733)
Entering Procession (standing, sung by all) Hymn 488
“Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart” Slane
The Opening Acclamation and Collect for Purity (standing)
Celebrant Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
People And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen. Celebrant Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Song of Praise (standing, sung by all)
“Glory be to God on high”
The Collect of the Day (standing)
Celebrant The Lord be with you.
People And with thy spirit.
Celebrant Let us pray.
The flowers adorning the altar are given to the glory of God and in thanksgiving for the marriage of Mary-Martin France and Rider Royall. Georg Böhm spent nearly four decades as organist at St. Johannis in Lüneburg, where his playing made a lasting impression on the young J.S. Bach. This setting is built on the chorale "Vater unser im Himmelreich," Martin Luther's 1539 hymn paraphrase of the Lord's Prayer, with the melody woven through gently ornamented, flowing lines characteristic of the North German Baroque style.
Hymn S 202
O Almighty God, who hast built thy Church upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone: Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their doctrine, that we may be made an holy temple acceptable unto thee; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and e ver. Amen.
Chanted by the Choir to a psalm setting by John Hopkins.
The First Lesson (seated) Jeremiah 28:5-9
The prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD; and the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD do so; may the Lord fulfill the words that you have prophesied, and bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the house of the LORD, and all the exiles. But listen now to this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people. The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms. As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes true, then it will be known that the LORD has truly sent the prophet.”
Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.
The Psalm (seated) Psalm 89:1-4, 15-18
Your love, O LORD, for ever will I sing; * from age to age my mouth will proclaim your faithfulness. For I am persuaded that your love is established for ever; * you have set your faithfulness firmly in the heavens.
“I have made a covenant with my chosen one; * I have sworn an oath to David my servant: ‘I will establish your line for ever, * and preserve your throne for all generations.’”
Happy are the people who know the festal shout! * they walk, O LORD, in the light of your presence. The y rejoice daily in your Name; * they are jubilant in your righteousness. For you are the glory of their strength, * and by your favor our might is exalted.
Truly, the LORD is our ruler; * the Holy One of Israel is our King.
Do not let sin exercise dominion in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions. No longer present your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and present your members to God as instruments of righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that you, having once been slaves of sin, have become obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which you were entrusted, and that you, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. I am speaking in human terms because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to greater and g reater iniquity, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification. When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. So what advantage did you then get from the things of which you now are ashamed? The end of those things is death. But now that you have been freed from sin and enslaved to God, the advantage you get is sanctification. The end is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.
Sequence Hymn (standing, sung by all)
“Alleluia” from Wonder, Love, and Praise 848
Choir Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
All Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The Gospel (standing) Matthew 10:40-42
Celebrant The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mathhew.
People Glory be to thee, O Lord.
Jesus said, “Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous; and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple-truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.”
Celebrant The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise be to thee, O Christ.
The Sermon (seated)
The Nicene Creed (standing)
The Rev. Dr. Andrew Grosso
All 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.

Celebrant Let us pray for the Church and for the world.

The Holy Communion
Offertory Anthem (sung by the Saint Michael Choir)
Locus Iste
Anton Bruckner, a 19th-century composer known for his traditional style and frequent revisions, is best remembered for grand choral and orchestral works, though he was also a skilled organist. This anthem showcases his sacred choral writing with elegant part-writing, lyrical lines, and subtle textural shifts. Note the sudden softness at “irreprehensibilis est”—a moment of reverence and awe for God’s greatness.
Here a Proper Preface is sung or said on all Sundays, and on other occasions as appointed.
Anton Bruckner
Locus iste a Deo factus est, inaestimabile sacramentum, irreprehensibilis est.
This place was made by God, a priceless mystery; it is without reproof.

S 114
All glory be to thee, O Lord our God, for that thou didst create heaven and earth, and didst make us in thine own image; and, of thy tender mercy, didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to take our nature upon him, and to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption. He made there a full and perfect sacrifice for the whole world; and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of that his precious death and sacrifice, until his coming again.
For in the night in which he was betrayed, he took bread; and when he had given thanks to thee, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take, eat, this is my Body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
L ikewise, after supper, he took the cup; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink this, all of you; for this is my Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for you, and for many, for the remission of sins. Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me.”
Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, we thy people do celebrate and make, with these thy holy gifts which we now offer unto thee, the memorial thy Son hath commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed passion and precious death, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension; and looking for his coming again with power and great glory.
And we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father, to hear us, and, with thy Word and Holy Spirit, to bless and sanctify these gifts of bread and wine, that they may be unto us the Body and Blood of thy dearly-beloved Son Jesus Christ.
At the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it, or lay a hand upon it; and at the words concerning the cup, to hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing wine to be consecrated.
All baptized persons of any age regardless of their denomination and tradition are welcome to share in the banquet of the Lord’s Supper.
All are invited to come forward to the Communion rail at the direction of our ushers. Stand or kneel at the rail as you are able, and receive the wafer in the palm of your outstretched hands. If you desire a gluten-free wafer, clasp your hands in front of you with your palms down. Receive the wine by drinking from the chalice as it is offered to you, or by retaining the wafer, to dip lightly into the chalice for yourself. If you are not receiving, you may cross your arms over your chest and receive a blessing. If you are unable to physically come to the rail, please indicate to an usher that you would like to receive Communion at your seat.
And we earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, whereby we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, our selves, our souls and bodies. Grant, we beseech thee, that all who partake of this Holy Communion may worthily receive the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son Jesus Christ, and be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction; and also that we and all thy whole Church may be made one body with him, that he may dwell in us, and we in him; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord; By whom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost all honor and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end. AMEN.
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, All 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 (sung by all) Hymn S 152 “Alleluia”
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 Anthem (sung by the Saint Michael Choir)
Blessed are the Pure in Heart Henry Walford-Davies
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see our God; The secret of the Lord is theirs, their soul is Christ’s abode. Still to the lowly soul He doth Himself impart, And for His cradle and His throne chooseth the pure in heart.
- John Keble (1819)
Communion Hymn (sung by all) Hymn 318
“Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face” Nyack
The Post-Communion Prayer (kneeling, spoken by all)
Almighty and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee for that thou dost feed us, in these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favor and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs, through hope, of thy everlasting kingdom. And we humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.

Postlude
Sortie-Fughetta Théodore Dubois (1837–1924)
Théodore Dubois succeeded César Franck as organist at SainteClotilde, later led music at the Madeleine, and served as director of the Paris Conservatoire. This brisk fugal "sortie" — the French term for music accompanying the congregation's exit — closes the service with the bright contrapuntal energy typical of the French Romantic organ tradition.
