It’s been a hard week in our country as coronavirus infections surge. I am grateful ev , .D a t that our Dallas community has ra r. C hristop her D. Gi been behind the national curve, but our rates are climbing, too. I continue to hold you all in special prayers for health and safety, and I invite your continued prayers for one another, our nation, and our world. If you need extra prayer support from your Saint Michael family, don’t hesitate to let us know. Even with so much uncertainty around us, spreading God’s love does not stop! Today is Mission & Outreach Sunday, and I’m excited to recognize the incredible work being done outside our church walls by hundreds of Saint Michael volunteers every day. We will highlight the local outreach and global missions that we support, as well as celebrating the volunteers that do such great work. Celebrating our mission work is wonderful, but every Saint Michael volunteer would hope for one specific thing: more volunteers like you! As we honor and celebrate these special ministries, I want you to get involved in service in a new way. Please visit the Mission & Outreach Sunday page of our website to learn more about current opportunities and sign up to serve. The work of our church does not happen without the generosity of all our members. If you have questions or simply want help getting involved, you may also reach out to Chanta Bhan, Associate for Mission & Outreach, or any of our wonderful M&O Committee members. May God continue to bless you,

British composer Frank Bridge was active in the early decades of the 20th century and was a highly respected conductor, violist and teacher – his sole composition student having been Benjamin Britten.This composition, from 1905, is in fact a perfectly-crafted fugue, but its themes are so poetic and their treatment so rhapsodic that it is more naturally perceived as a completely free and expressive work.

The Lesson
Judges 4:1-7
The Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, after Ehud died. So the Lord sold them into the hand of King Jabin of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-ha-goiim. Then the Israelites cried out to the Lord for help; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and had oppressed the Israelites cruelly twenty years. At that time Deborah, a prophetess, wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel. She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the Israelites came up to her for judgment. She sent and summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, “The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you, ‘Go, take position at Mount Tabor, bringing ten thousand from the tribe of Naphtali and the tribe of Zebulun. I will draw out Sisera, the general of Jabin’s army, to meet you by the Wadi Kishon with his chariots and his troops; and I will give him into your hand.’” Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. Chanted by the choir
Psalm 123 (Anglican chant)
C. Hylton Stewart
To you I lift up my eyes, * to you enthroned in the heavens. As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, * and the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, * until he show us his mercy. Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy, * for we have had more than enough of contempt, Too much of the scorn of the indolent rich, * and of the derision of the proud.

Hymn 535, v. 1&4 “Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim” Paderborn
The Gospel Gospeler People
Matthew 25:14-30 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven will be as when a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them; to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to
4
his ability. Then he went away. The one who had received the five talents went off at once and traded with them, and made five more talents. In the same way, the one who had the two talents made two more talents. But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ But his master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents. For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. As for this worthless slave, throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’” Gospeler People Seated Standing
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ.
The Sermon 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,

The Reverend Christopher D. Girata BCP 358
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. Prayers of the People Form VI In peace, we pray to you, Lord God. For all people in their daily life and work; For our families, friends, and neighbors, and for those who are alone. For this community, the nation, and the world; For all who work for justice, freedom, and peace. For the just and proper use of your creation; For the victims of hunger, fear, injustice, and oppression. For all who are in danger, sorrow, or any kind of trouble; For those who minister to the sick, the friendless, and the needy. For the peace and unity of the Church of God; For all who proclaim the Gospel, and all who seek the Truth.

Kneeling
Almighty and eternal God, ruler of all things in heaven and earth: Mercifully accept the prayers of your people, and strengthen us to do your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Confession of Sin 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. Absolution 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 Birthday Blessing Watch over your children, O Lord, as their days increase; bless and guide them wherever they may be. Strengthen them when they stand; comfort them when discouraged or sorrowful; raise them up if they fall; and in their hearts may your peace which passes understanding abide all the days of their life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Holy Communion Offertory Anthem We shall walk through the valley in peace
Undine Smith-Moore
We shall walk through the valley in peace. If Jesus himself shall be our leader, We shall walk through the valley in peace. There will be no trials there. If Jesus himself shall be our leader, We shall walk through the valley in peace. - African-American Spiritual
Standing, Sung by the Choir
Presentation Hymn Hymn 380, v. 3 “Praise God, from whom all blessings flow”
Known as the “Dean of Black Women Composers,” Undine Smith Moore holds a pivotal role in the history of American choral music. Moore lived from 1904-1989 and received numerous awards during her lifetime, including the Humanitarian award from Fisk University and an honorary doctorate from Indiana University. Much of Moore’s choral music, including this setting of “We shall walk in peace,” is made up of arrangements of AfricanAmerican Spirituals. This morning’s anthem sets its introspective text with stunning simplicity. Soaring untexted lines for the echo between the voice parts in the opening, setting an atmosphere of tranquility.
Old 100th Listen for echoes of the text between voices at the end of each phrase, which create a call and response effect.

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 him thanks and praise. It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. For you are the source of light and life, you made us in your image, and called us to new life in Jesus Christ our Lord. 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: Sung by the Choir

Hymn S 130 Sanctus and Benedictus
Franz Schubert
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.”
Kneeling
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.
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. 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.
Celebrant and People
The Celebrant continues

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, 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. Sung by the Choir

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.
Kneeling
The Post Communion Prayer Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously 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.

Saint Michael Advent Retreat
Peace be to God’s People with the Rev. Claire Brown
Saturday, December 5 9-11 AM | $20 via Zoom
In the liturgical season of Advent we prepare for the birth of Jesus and celebrate the peace that God has brought to the world through the birth of God’s Son. But this holy peace is not only a gift; it is an invitation to join in God’s work. Join the Rev. Claire Brown, co-author of Keep Watch With Me: An Advent Reader for Peacemakers for a morning of prayer and reflection on our call to be peacemakers. Admission includes entry to the event and a copy of “Keep Watch With Me: An Advent Reader for Peacemakers”.

IN-PERSON WORSHIP (LIMITED SEATS AVAILABLE) COMMUNION! Consecrated wafers will be distributed during the 9 AM CT and 11 AM CT services. Parishioners attending in person will be able to partake of Communion at the appropriate point in the Eucharistic Prayer. In order to maintain maximum safety, we request that people not take their masks off to do this, but just slip the wafer under their masks. There will be special receptacles in the rear of the church to receive the empty envelopes, which will be disposed of in theologically/liturgically appropriate ways.
In-person worship is offered every Sunday at our 9 AM CT Traditional, 11 AM CT Contemporary, and 8 PM CT Compline services. Reserve tickets for your household at saintmichael.org/worshiptickets. Tickets to each service are available on a first-come, first-served basis one week at a time on Monday at 10 a.m. No one will be admitted without a ticket. Livestreams and video recordings of our weekly services remain available so that all can watch and participate. Visit saintmichael.org/live to tune in.
