Welcome!
JOIN US IN WORSHIP
Dear Friends, Our 75th Anniversary celebration is off to a great start, and there is so much more to come. I hope you were able to join our first anniversary event earlier this week when we welcomed the Very Rev. Amy Meaux and the Rev. Tamara Newell to join the Rev. Mary Lessmann live on stage to discuss “Women in Ministry.” They were joined digitally by the Rev. Patty Willett Rhyne. The discussion was excellent and, if you missed it, you can watch the panel online. Next up in our Anniversary series, we will welcome the Rev. Dr. Mark Anschutz as our guest preacher for the Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels on Sunday, September 26. Mark will be with us for both traditional services at 9 and 11 a.m. in the church. In addition to our guest preacher, the 11 a.m. traditional service will be live-streamed and feature incredible music, commissioned for our anniversary, that is not to be missed! Our fall series, Gifted, is the theme of our fall podcast series, which returned this week! The Saint Michael clergy are back with meditations to help center your days with prayer. We explore the many gifts we receive from God and how we are called to use them, and I want you to jump in. I want you to make a commitment to use your unique gifts in ministry here at Saint Michael. Click here to make a ministry pledge or to join us for our ministry discernment experience in October.

Oldroyd served at several “high church” parishes in southern England in the early 20th century. The influence of Gregorian chant is evident in the uneven yet smooth rhythm and harmonies based on ancient church modes (as opposed to major or minor keys). He quotes Ps 84:2 in the title. As is typical for this period, Oldroyd capitalizes on the organ’s ability to create smooth increases and decreases in volume. Standing, sung by All

The Collect of the Day
Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray. Grant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things, but to love things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things that are passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Seated

The Lesson
Wisdom of Solomon 1:16-2:1, 12-22
The ungodly by their words and deeds summoned death; considering him a friend, they pined away and made a covenant with him, because they are fit to belong to his company. For they reasoned unsoundly, saying to themselves, “Short and sorrowful is our life, and there is no remedy when a life comes to its end, and no one has been known to return from Hades. Let us lie in wait for the righteous man, because he is inconvenient to us and opposes our actions; he reproaches us for sins against the law, and accuses us of sins against our training. He professes to have knowledge of God, and calls himself a child of the Lord. He became to us a reproof of our thoughts; the very sight of him is a burden to us, because his manner of life is unlike that of others, and his ways are strange. We are considered by him as something base, and he avoids our ways as unclean; he calls the last end of the righteous happy, and boasts that God is his father. Let us see if his words are true, and let us test what will happen at the end of his life; for if the righteous man is God’s child, he will help him, and will deliver him from the hand of his adversaries. Let us test him with insult and torture, so that we may find out how gentle he is, and make
trial of his forbearance. Let us condemn him to a shameful death, for, according to what he says, he will be protected.” Thus they reasoned, but they were led astray, for their wickedness blinded them, and they did not know the secret purposes of God, nor hoped for the wages of holiness, nor discerned the prize for blameless souls. Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. Psalm 54 (Anglican chant)
Joseph Barnby
Chanted by the choir
Save me, O God, by your Name; * in your might, defend my cause. Hear my prayer, O God; * give ear to the words of my mouth. For the arrogant have risen up against me, and the ruthless have sought my life, * those who have no regard for God. Behold, God is my helper; * it is the Lord who sustains my life. Render evil to those who spy on me; * in your faithfulness, destroy them. I will offer you a freewill sacrifice * and praise your Name, O LORD, for it is good. For you have rescued me from every trouble, * and my eye has seen the ruin of my foes. Sequence Hymn Hymn 480, v. 1 “When Jesus left his Father’s throne”

The Gospel Gospeler People
Mark 9:30-37 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark. Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Jesus and his disciples passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it; for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and three days after being killed, he will rise again.” But they did not understand what he was saying and were afraid to ask him. Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest. He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.” Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.” Gospeler People Seated Standing, spoken by All

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, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made,
The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata BCP 358
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 Holy Communion Offertory Anthems The Call
Ralph Vaughan Williams Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life: Such a Way, as gives us breath: Such a Truth, as ends all strife: Such a Life, as killeth death. Come, My Light, my Feast, my Strength: Such a Light, as shows a feast: Such a Feast, as mends in length: Such a Strength, as makes his guest. Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart: Such a Joy, as none can move: Such a Love, as none can part: Such a Heart, as joys in love. - George Herbert
Holy is the true light
William Harris
Holy is the True Light, and passing wonderful, lending radiance to them that endured in the heat of the conflict. From Christ they inherit a home of unfading splendour, wherein they rejoice with gladness evermore. Alleluia! - Salisbury Diurnal Presentation Hymn “Praise God from whom all blesings flow”
Vaughan Williams was one of the greatest English composers of the previous century. His love of English literature shines in nearly all his vocal and choral compositions. A simple melody outlining a major triad gives a sense of beckoning in music. The melody expands at the beginning of the third verse to emphasize the word “joy.”
Sir William H. Harris lived and worked through the first three quarters of the twentieth century. He held several prominent positions, including on the faculty of the Royal College of Music and as organist at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. Harris’s music is harmonically conservative in comparison to that of many of his peers in the 20th century, and quickly found a place in the canon of Anglican repertoire. This morning’s anthem presents a meditation on a text originally written for All Saints’ Day. It features soaring melodies, luscious harmonic shifts, and simple but profound text setting.

The Great Thanksgiving: Eucharistic Prayer A Celebrant People Celebrant People Celebrant People
The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. 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. 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 and Benedictus: Hymn S 128
William Mathias
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.
9
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.”
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.
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
Celebrant and People
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.
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.

Postlude Finale from the Fourth Symphony, Op. 13, No. 4
Charles-Marie Widor
Widor composed this energetic piece at the young age of 28, just two years after he had been appointed organist of the cavernous Parisian church of St. Sulpice, home of the largest organ in France. He would remain there for 63 years, writing six more symphonies, delighting in creating kaleidoscopic sounds in a grand church with a revolutionary instrument.
