The Gathering of the Community
Opening Hymn
The saint who first found grace to pen
the life which was the Life of men,
and shed abroad the Gospel's ray,
his fame we celebrate today.
Lo, drawn by Pentecostal fire,
his heart conceived its great desire,
when pure of mind, inspired, he heard
and with his hand set forth the Word.
Then, clearly writ, the Godhead shone
serene and fair to look upon;
and through that record still comes power
to lighten souls in death's dark hour.
O holy mind, for wisdom fit
wherein that Life of lives stood writ,
may we through minds of like accord

show forth the pattern of our Lord.
And so may all whose minds are dark
be led to truth by good Saint Mark,
and after this our earthly strife
stand written in the Book of Life.
Service Music: New Plainsong – David Hurd
Celebrant: Alleluia! Christ is risen.
People: The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia!
Celebrant: May his grace and peace be with you.
People: May he fill our hearts with joy.

Collect of the Day: Almighty God, by the hand of Mark the
evangelist you gave to your Church the gospel of Jesus
Christ, the Son of God. We thank you for his witness, and
pray that we may be grounded firmly in its truth; through
Jesus Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and
the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The Proclamation of the Word
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH 52: 7-10
Read by Dr. Neville Reid

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger
who announces peace, who brings good news, who announces
salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” Listen! Your
sentinels lift up their voices, together they sing for joy; for in
plain sight they see the return of the Lord to Zion. Break forth
together into singing, you ruins of Jerusalem; for the Lord has
comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has
bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the
ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
The word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.
PSALM 2:7-13 (Tone V.1)
7 Let me announce the decree of the LORD: *
he said to me / You are my Son this day have I be-got-ten
you.
8 Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your
in-her-i-tance *
and the ends of the earth for your pos-ses-sion.
9 You shall crush them with an iron rod *
and shatter them like a piece of pot-ter-y.”
10 And now you kings be wise; *
be warned you ru-lers of the earth.
11 Submit to the LORD with fear, *
and with trembling bow be-fore him;
12 Lest he be angry and you per-ish; *
for his wrath is quick-ly kind-led.
13 Happy are they all *
who take re-fuge in him!
Glory be to the Father and to the Son:
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit.

As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be:
world with-out end A-men.
A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE
EPHESIANS 4:7–8, 11–16 Read by Joyce Connell
Each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s
gift. Therefore it is said, “When he ascended on high he made
captivity itself a captive; he gave gifts to his people.” The gifts
he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some
evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for
the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all
of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the
Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of
Christ. We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and
blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, by
their craftiness in deceitful scheming. But speaking the truth in
love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head,
into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together
by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is
working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself
up in love.
The word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.
Gospel Alleluia
Choir: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
All: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Choir: Jesus said: ‘I give you a new commandment:
love one another, just as I have loved you.’
All: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Gospeller: The Lord be with you.

All: And also with you.
Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Mark 1: 1-15.
All: Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of
God. As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, “See, I am sending
my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way; the
voice of one crying out in the wilderness; ‘Prepare the way of
the Lord, make his paths straight,’” John the baptizer appeared
in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance
for the forgiveness of sins. And people from the whole Judean
countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were going out to
him, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing
their sins. Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, with a
leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
He proclaimed, “The one who is more powerful than I is
coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the
thong of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; but he will
baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” In those days Jesus came
from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the
Jordan. And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw
the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on
him. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the
Beloved; with you I am well pleased.” And the Spirit
immediately drove him out into the wilderness. He was in the
wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the
wild beasts; and the angels waited on him. Now after John was
arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of
God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God
has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.”
Gospeller: The Gospel of Christ:
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

(During this hymn the gifts of bread and wine are presented and
a collection is taken up.)
Prayer over the Gifts: God of our salvation, accept all we
offer you this day. May we learn to bear witness to the
gospel of your Son both in word and deed. This we ask in the
name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Eucharistic Prayer 3 p. 198
The Lord’s Prayer (sung)
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 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 for ever. Amen.
The Breaking of the Bread
Presider: Lord, we died with you on the cross.
All: Now we are raised to new life.
Presider: We were buried in your tomb.
All: Now we share in your resurrection.
Presider: Live in us, that we may live in you.
Communion Hymn
Come, gracious Spirit, heav’nly Dove,
With light and comfort from above;
Be Thou our Guardian, Thou our Guide,
O’er every thought and step preside.
The light of truth to us display,
And make us know and choose Thy way;
Plant holy fear in every heart,
That we from God may ne’er depart.
Lead us to holiness, the road
Which we must take to dwell with God;
Lead us to Christ, the living way,
Nor let us from His pastures stray.
Lead us to God, our final rest,
To be with Him forever blest;
Lead us to Heav’n, its bliss to share,
Fullness of joy forever there.
Communion Motet: Lord, for thy tender mercy’s sake
– Richard Farrant

Lord, for thy tender mercy's sake,
lay not our sins to our charge,
but forgive that is past,
and give us grace to amend our sinful lives.
To decline from sin and incline to virtue,
that we may walk in a perfect heart before thee,
now and evermore.
Presider: All your works praise you, O Lord.
All: And your faithful people bless you.
Gracious God
we thank you for feeding us
with the body and blood of your Son
Jesus Christ.
May we, who share his body,
live his risen life;
we, who drink his cup,
bring life to others;
we, whom the Spirit lights,
give light to the world.
Keep us firm in the hope you have set before
us, so that we and all your children shall be
free, and the whole earth live to praise your
name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
