FIRST LESSON: Daniel 7:1-3,15-18
[Ms. Colleen Blackman]
READER: A Reading from the Word of God, written in the book of Daniel, chapter seven beginning at the first verse.
ILLUMINATION:
READER: In the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head as he lay in bed. Then he wrote down the dream: I, Daniel, saw in my vision by night the four winds of heaven stirring up the great sea, and four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another. As for me, Daniel, my spirit was troubled within me, and the visions of my head terrified me. I approached one of the attendants to ask him the truth concerning all this. So he said that he would disclose to me the interpretation of the matter: "As for these four great beasts, four kings shall arise out of the earth. But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom for ever for ever and ever."
READER: The word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
PSALM: 149
1. O sing unto the Lord a new song : let the congregation of saints praise him.
2. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him : and let the children of Sion be joyful in their King.
3. Let them praise his Name in the dance : let them sing praises unto him with tabret and harp.
4. For the Lord hath pleasure in his people : and helpeth the meek-hearted.
5. Let the saints be joyful with glory : let them rejoice in their beds.
6. Let the praises of God be in their mouth : and a two-edged sword in their hands;
7. To be avenged of the heathen : and to rebuke the people;
8. To bind their kings in chains : and their nobles with links of iron.
9. That they may be avenged of them, as it is written : Such honour have all his saints.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
SECOND LESSON: Ephesians 1:11-23 [Ms. Shaniqua Hoyte]
READER: A reading from the word of God written in the letter to the Ephesians, chapter one beginning at the eleventh verse.
ILLUMINATION:
READER: In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; this is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God's own people, to the praise of his glory. I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his great power. God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at
his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. And he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
READER: The word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
GRADUAL HYMN: 386 (MP) - Jesus, the very thought of thee (verses 1-3)
1 Jesus, the very thought of thee with sweetness fills the breast; but sweeter far thy face to see, and in thy presence rest.
2 O hope of every contrite heart, O joy of all the meek, to those who fall, how kind thou art! How good to those who seek!
3 But what to those who find? Ah, this nor tongue nor pen can show; the love of Jesus, what it is, none but his loved ones know.
THE GOSPEL: Luke 6:20-31
PRESIDENT: The Lord be with you. ALL: And also with you.
PRESIDENT: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke, the sixth chapter beginning at the twentieth verse.
ALL: Glory to Christ our Saviour
ILLUMINATION:
PRESIDENT: Jesus looked up at his disciples and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. “Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets." "But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. "Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. "Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep. "Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false prophets. "But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as you would have them do to you.
PRESIDENT: This is the Gospel of Christ. ALL: Praise to Christ our Lord.
HYMN: 386 (MP) (verse 4)
4 Jesus, our only joy be thou, as thou our prize wilt be; Jesus, be thou our glory now, and through eternity.
THE SERMON
HYMN: 561 - We believe in God the Father
1 We believe in God the Father, God almighty, by whose plan earth and heaven sprang to being, all created things began. We believe in Christ the Saviour, Son of God in human frame, virgin-born, the child of Mary upon whom the Spirit came.
2
Christ, who on the cross forsaken, like a lamb to slaughter led, suffered under Pontius Pilate, he descended to the dead. We believe in Jesus risen, heaven's king to rule and reign, to the Father's side ascended till as judge he comes again.
3 We believe in God the Spirit, in one church, below, above: saints of God in one communion, one in holiness and love. So by faith, our sins forgiven, Christ our Saviour, Lord and friend, we shall rise with him in glory to the life that knows no end.

OFFERTORY HYMNS: 819, 823
HYMN: 819 - For all the saints who from their labours rest
1 For all the saints who from their labours rest who thee by faith before the world confessed, thy name, O Jesu, be forever blest, Alleluia! Alleluia!
2
Thou wast their rock, their fortress, and their might thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight; thou, in the darkness, still their one true Light. Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 O may thy soldiers, faithful, true and bold, fight as the saints who nobly fought of old and win, with them, the victor's crown of gold. Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; yet all are one in thee, for all are thine. Alleluia! Alleluia!
5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, steals on the ear the distant triumph-song, and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluia! Alleluia!
6 The golden evening brightens in the west; soon, soon, to faithful warriors comes their rest sweet is the calm of paradise the blest. Alleluia! Alleluia!
7 But, lo, there breaks a yet more glorious day; the saints triumphant rise in bright array; the King of glory passes on his way. Alleluia! Alleluia!
8 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Alleluia! Alleluia!
HYMN: 823 - Who are these like stars appearing
1 Who are these like stars appearing, these, before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; who are all this glorious band? Alleluia! Hark, they sing, praising loud their heavenly King.
2 Who are these in dazzling brightness, clothed in God's own righteousness, these, whose robes of purest whiteness, shall their lustre still possess, still untouched by time's rude hand? Whence came all this glorious band?
3 These are they who have contended for their Saviour's honour long, wrestling on till life was ended, following not the sinful throng; these, who well the fight sustained, triumph by the Lamb have gained.
4 These are they whose hearts were riven, sore with woe and anguish tried, who in prayer full oft have striven with the God they glorified; now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more.
5 These, the Almighty contemplating, did as priests before him stand, soul and body always waiting day and night at his command: now in God's most holy place blest they stand before his face.
PRESIDENT AND PEOPLE
Father, we offer to you these gifts which you have given us; this bread, this wine, this money. With them we offer ourselves, our lives, and our work, to become through your Holy Spirit a reasonable, holy, and lively sacrifice. As this bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ, so may we and all your people become channels of your love; through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

PRESIDENT: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
ALL: It is right to give God thanks and praise.
PRESIDENT: It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Father Almighty, everlasting God:
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. For in the saints you have given us an example of godly living; that rejoicing in their fellowship, we may run with perseverance the race that is set before us, and with them receive the crown of glory.
Therefore, we praise you; joining our voices with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
EUCHARISTIC PRAYER E (BCP Page 142)
PRESIDENT: Sovereign Lord and Father, To you be glory and praise for ever In your boundless wisdom you brought creation into being; In your great love you fashioned us in your image; In your tender compassion you sent your Son, Jesus Christ, Our Saviour, to share our human nature; In the power of the Holy Spirit; He overcame the power of sin and death and brought your people to new birth as first fruits of your new creation.
On the night that He was betrayed He took bread, and when He had given thanks to you, He broke it and gave it to his disciples and said, “Take this, and eat it: This is my Body which is given for you, Do this for the remembrance of me”
And 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.”
PRESIDENT: Therefore, Father, according to the command of your dearly beloved Son
ALL: We remember His death; We proclaim His resurrection; We await His coming in glory
PRESIDENT: And we offer you, Father, our sacrifice of thanks and praise. Send your Holy Spirit on these gifts of bread and wine that they may become the Body and Blood of your Son, Jesus, our Lord, and Redeemer. As we partake of this holy food of new and unending life, may your Holy Spirit establish us as a royal priesthood with the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Lucy and all your sons and daughters who share in your eternal inheritance; through Jesus Christ our Lord. With Him and in Him and through Him, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we worship you, Father Almighty, with all who stand before you in earth and heaven, in songs of everlasting praise.
ALL: Blessing and honour and glory and power Be yours for ever and ever. Amen
THE LORD’S PRAYER (BCP Page 144)
PRESIDENT: As our Saviour has taught us, so we pray:
ALL: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.
THE BREAKING OF BREAD (BCP Page 145)
PRESIDENT: We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.

COMMUNION HYMNS: 476, 597, 616, I’ll fly away
HYMN: 476 - The King of love my Shepherd is
1 The King of love my Shepherd is, whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am his, and he is mine for ever.
2
Where streams of living water flow my ransomed soul he leadeth, and where the verdant pastures grow, with food celestial feedeth.
3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, but yet in love he sought me, and on his shoulder gently laid, and home rejoicing brought me.
4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill with thee, dear Lord, beside me; thy rod and staff my comfort still, thy cross before to guide me.
5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight; thy unction grace bestoweth; and O what transport of delight from thy pure chalice floweth!
6 And so through all the length of days thy goodness faileth never: Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise within thy house for ever.
HYMN: 597 - I come with joy, a child of God
1 I come with joy, a child of God, forgiven, loved and free, the life of Jesus to recall, in love laid down for me.
2 I come with Christians far and near to find, as all are fed, the new community of love in Christ's communion bread.
3 As Christ breaks bread, and bids us share, each proud division ends. The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends.
4 The Spirit of the risen Christ, unseen, but ever near, is in such friendship better known, alive among us here.
5 Together met, together bound by all that God has done, we'll go with joy, to give the world the love that makes us one.
HYMN: 616 - O thou, who at thy eucharist didst pray
1 O thou, who at thy eucharist didst pray that all thy church might be for ever one, grant us at every eucharist to say with longing heart and soul, ‘Thy will be done:’ may we all one bread, one body be, through this blest sacrament of unity.
2 For all thy church, O Lord, we intercede; make thou our sad divisions soon to cease; draw us the nearer each to each, we plead, by drawing all to thee, O Prince of peace: thus may we all one Bread, one body be, through this blest sacrament of unity.
3 We pray thee too for wanderers from thy fold; bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep, back to the faith which saints believed of old, back to the church which still that faith doth keep; soon may we all one bread, one body be, through this blest sacrament of unity.
4
So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease, may we be one with all thy church above, one with thy saints in one unbroken peace, one with thy saints in one unbounded love: more blessèd still, in peace and love to be one with the Trinity in Unity.
HYMN: I’ll fly away
1 Some glad morning when this life is o'er I'll fly away
To a home on God’s celestial shore I'll fly away.
Refrain
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away (In the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away.
2 When the shadows of this life have gone I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown I'll fly away.
Refrain
3 Just a few more weary days and then I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end I'll fly away.

We remember His Grace, the Most Rev’d Drexel Gomez, the former Archbishop of the Church in the Province of the West Indies, who died on 14th October in the Bahamas. We extend heartfelt sympathies and prayerful support to his widow and children.
May all persons who have died rest in peace and rise in glory.
