On Wednesday, we begin the sacred journey of Lent with Ash Wednesday. Given the extremely cold weather next week, we have shifted our worship Re v. D a, t plan. We will offer one online Eucharist a ir r. C hristopher D. G at Noon, live from the church, as well as two in-person experiences at 7:30-8 a.m. and 5:30-6 p.m. However, these two in-person experiences will no longer be full worship services, but rather drive-through opportunities to receive ashes. The imposition of ashes will happen under the Saint Michael Episcopal School porte cochere. Please visit our Ash Wednesday page for more details. If you are unable to join us in person and still want to receive ashes physically, we will have packets of ashes, blessed here at Saint Michael, that you can pick up beginning Wednesday, February 10 from the church’s receptionist during regular business hours. You can use these ashes on yourself or your loved ones while worshipping with us online! Our theme for Lent at Saint Michael is Covenant: Sacred Promises. We will be offering a sermon series in both morning services and a weekday podcast series, along with creating altars at home while working daily toward a special service project. As mentioned last week, we have prepared a special, interactive Lenten experience for you that will bring the holy home. Each kit contains a purple cloth, blessed here at Saint Michael, that will form the foundation of a home altar, along with a meditation book to guide you in weekly reflections and a calendar that will help you build a wonderful gift for our most vulnerable neighbors. We have extra kits available for pickup at the church for anyone who needs one. Finally, I have good news: Beginning Sunday, February 21, we will once again be able to welcome worshippers back into the church physically. Worshippers will need to be masked while in the building and will be distanced in the pews like in the fall, but it’s a hopeful move. Beginning Monday, February 15, you will be able to register for a spot in the church like you could before Advent. Click here for more information and to register.

Three Saints Festival This morning’s Traditional service features three offerings created at the Three Saints Festival by choristers from Saint Michael and All Angels alongside their peers from St. Mark’s in San Antonio and St. Alban’s in Waco. The Three Saints Festival took place on January 23-24 this year. Choristers from these three churches got to know one another in fun hangout sessions online, learned about music and theology associated with the Transfiguration, and got to sing together in online rehearsals. We expect this festival to become an annual offering, and we look forward to welcoming choristers from these three churches here to Dallas in future years, as well as traveling to San Antonio and Waco. This morning’s Psalm, Sequence hymn, and anthem each feature young singers from these three churches. In addition, the final verse of the Sequence hymn features the world premiere of a descant composed by Saint Michael’s head senior boy chorister Brayden Girata. Brayden was the winner of the descant composing competition at the festival, and his descant is being premiered today at all three participating churches. Please join us in congratulating our choristers, and the choristers from St. Mark’s and St. Alban’s on the beautiful music they have shared with us today!

This piece was first composed for organ and orchestra, and later transcribed by the composer for organ solo. It depicts a solemn procession: the first theme is announced by the softer strings, growing louder as the procession nears. The flute stops begin a repetitive litany, combined contrapuntally with the first theme, steadily growing in volume until the procession reaches its destiny. Standing

And also with you.
Celebrant Let us pray. O God, who before the passion of your only-begotten Son revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; 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
2 Corinthians 4:3-6
Even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

People Thanks be to God. Psalm 50:1-6 (Anglican chant)
Plainsong, tone I.6
The Lord, the God of gods, has spoken; * he has called the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Out of Zion, perfect in its beauty, * God reveals himself in glory. Our God will come and will not keep silence; * before him there is a consuming flame, and round about him a raging storm. He calls the heavens and the earth from above * to witness the judgment of his people. “Gather before me my loyal followers, * those who have made a covenant with me and sealed it with sacrifice.” Let the heavens declare the rightness of his cause; * for God himself is judge.

The Gospel
Mark 9:2-9
Gospeler
The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.
People
Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He did not know what to say, for they were terrified. Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, “This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!” Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus. As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

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, 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. For Justin, Archbishop of Canterbury; Michael, Our Presiding Bishop; George and Michael, our Bishops; our parish clergy and their families; and for all bishops and other ministers; For all who serve God in his Church.

The Holy Communion Offertory Anthem Christ, whose glory fills the skies
Thomas F. H. Candlyn
Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true and only Light, Sun of righteousness, arise! Triumph o’er the shade of night: Day-spring from on high, be near; Day-star, in my heart appear. Dark and cheerless is the morn Unaccompanied by thee; Joyless is the day’s return, Till thy mercy’s beams I see; Till they inward light impart, Glad my eyes and warm my heart. Visit then this soul of mine! Pierce the gloom of sin and grief ! Fill me, Radiancy Divine; Scatter all my unbelief; More and more thyself display, Shining to the perfect day!
T. Frederick Candlyn was born in Davenham, Cheshire, England, in 1892 and died in Point Lookout, N.Y., in 1964. In 1942, Candlyn set the text, Christ whose glory fills the skies, written much earlier by poet Charles Wesley in 1740. Wesley was educated at Oxford, where, in 1727, he formed the “Oxford Methodist” group among his fellow students. His elder brother, John joined in 1729, and together, they established what is now the United Methodist Church. Featuring choristers from: Saint Michael and All Angels (Dallas), St. Mark’s (San Antonio), St. Alban’s (Waco).

The Great Thanksgiving: Eucharistic Prayer A
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Because in the mystery of the Word made flesh, you have caused a new light to shine in our hearts, to give the knowledge of your glory in the face of your son 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: Hymn S 128 Sanctus and Benedictus
William Mathias
“This Epiphany season, we sing 20th-century Welsh composer William Mathias’s rather extroverted setting of the Sanctus. Mathias is particularly important to Saint Michael because he has previously been commissioned by Saint Michael to write new choral music premiered by our choir. Notice the music’s growing excitement at “heaven and earth…” leading up to a “Hosanna in the highest.” Note, too, that the music repeats itself starting at “Blessed is he…” Kneeling

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.” 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. 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.
The Celebrant continues
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,
Celebrant and People

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. Fraction Anthem: S154

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. 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. The Blessing The Dismissal

Lasst uns erfreuen
One of the most important organ composers and teachers in the early 20th-century, Widor’s ten symphonies for the organ have stood as a major portion of the organ’s repertoire since their writing. His six-movement Symphony No. 2 concludes with a festive toccata for full organ and makes repeated use of the terraced dynamics that became possible on French organs in Widor’s lifetime. It has been chosen to conclude today’s service on the Last Sunday of Epiphany because of its dazzling, energetic atmosphere which seems to match both today’s Transfiguration Gospel Reading and the nature of the end of Epiphany just before Lent.

PRAYING OUR GOODBYES Led by The Rev. Dr. Hiltrude Nusser-Telfer Wednesday, February 17 10–11:30 a.m. Parlor Praying our Goodbyes is a mourning and grief support ministry that addresses grief of any kind- such as a death, a job loss, a business, a home, or divorce. Utilizing readings from the book, “Praying Our Goodbyes” by Joyce Rupp, Hiltrude, helps those in attendance examine their grief and recognize it. All are losses that we grieve and we must grieve in order to recognize that loss. Hiltrude tells us “that for humans to shorten or circumvent the grieving process is to invite illness and even severe depression”. To RSVP or if you have questions, contact the Rev. Dr. Hiltrude Nusser-Telfer, hnussertelfer@aol.com.
