We Proclaim and Respond to the Word of God

A Reading from Amos [7:7-17] Please be seated.

This is what YHWH God showed me:YHWH was standing beside a wall builtwith a plumb line, with a plumb line in

God’s hand. And YHWH said to me, “Amos,what do you see?” And I said, “A plumb line.”Then YHWH said, “See, I am setting a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel; I willnever again pass them by; the high places ofIsaac shall be made desolate, and thesanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste, and Iwill rise against the house of Jeroboam with thesword.” Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel,sent to King Jeroboam of Israel, saying, “Amoshas conspired against you in the very center ofthe house of Israel; the land is not able to bearall his words. For thus Amos has said,‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israelmust go into exile away from his land.’” AndAmaziah said to Amos, “O seer, go, flee away

to the land of Judah, earn your bread there, andprophesy there; but never again prophesy atBethel, for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is atemple of the kingdom.” Then Amos answeredAmaziah, “I am no prophet, nor a prophet’sson; but I am a herdsman, and a dresser ofsycamore trees, and YHWH took me fromfollowing the flock, and YHWH said to me,‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ Nowtherefore hear the word of YHWH. You say,‘Do not prophesy against Israel, and do notpreach against the house of Isaac.’ Thereforethus says YHWH: ‘Your wife shall become aprostitute in the city, and your sons and yourdaughters shall fall by the sword, and your landshall be parceled out by line; you yourself shalldie in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely gointo exile away from its land.’”

Reader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People.People: Thanks be to God.

Psalm 82 The Psalm is read responsively by whole verse.

1 God stands among the leaders of the nations *and proclaims peace for the whole world:

2 Lead the nations in justice; *let there be no oppression.

3 Save the weak and the orphan; *defend the humble and needy.

4 Rescue the weak and the poor; *deliver them from the hand of the oppressor.

5 Unless you seek God, you know nothing: *you do not understand, you wander about in darkness,and the foundations of the world are shaken.

6 Now I say to you, You are mine, *all of you children of the Living God.

7 But you are mortal, and you will fall; *you will die like any other creature.

8 But justice and peace shall abide, *for all the earth belongs to the Holy One.

A Reading from Colossians [1:1-14] Read in Spanish.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the willof God, and Timothy our brother,

To the saints and faithful brothers andsisters in Christ in Colossae:

This youlearned from Epaphras, our beloved fellowservant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on

your behalf, and he has made known to us yourlove in the Spirit. For this reason, since the daywe heard it, we have not ceased praying foryou and asking that you may be filled with theknowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdomand understanding, so that you may lead livesworthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as youbear fruit in every good work and as you growin the knowledge of God. May you be madestrong with all the strength that comes from hisglorious power, and may you be prepared toendure everything with patience, while joyfullygiving thanks to the Father, who has enabledyou to share in the inheritance of the saints inthe light. He has rescued us from the power ofdarkness and transferred us into the kingdomof his beloved Son, in whom we haveredemption, the forgiveness of sins.

A Reading from the Holy Gospel [Luke 10:25-37]

Deacon: The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ according to Luke.People: Glory to you, O Christ.

Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus.“Teacher,” he said, “what must I do toinherit eternal life?” He said to him, “Whatis written in the law? What do you read

there?” He answered, “You shall love the Lordyour God with all your heart, and with all yoursoul, and with all your strength, and with allyour mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” Andhe said to him, “You have given the rightanswer; do this, and you will live.” But wantingto justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who ismy neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man was goingdown from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell intothe hands of robbers, who stripped him, beathim, and went away, leaving him half dead. Nowby chance a priest was going down that road;and when he saw him, he passed by on the

other side. So likewise a Levite, when he cameto the place and saw him, passed by on theother side. But a Samaritan while traveling camenear him; and when he saw him, he was movedwith pity. He went to him and bandaged hiswounds, having poured oil and wine on them.Then he put him on his own animal, broughthim to an inn, and took care of him. The nextday he took out two denarii, gave them to theinnkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him; andwhen I come back, I will repay you whatevermore you spend.’ Which of these three, do youthink, was a neighbor to the man who fell intothe hands of the robbers?” He said, “The onewho showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him,“Go and do likewise.”

Deacon: The Gospel of Jesus Christ.People: Praise to you, O Christ.

Preacher: The Rev. Steve Kelsey

A period of silence follows the Sermon, marked with meditation bell.

The Nicene Creed (7:45 a.m.) The people may stand.

The Nicene Creed is a historical statement of faith used by the early Christian community to define orthodoxy.Please join us as you feel called.

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

-9-

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.

The Filioque (Latin for “and the son”), the dogmatic formula expressing the double procession of the HolySpirit, was added to the Nicene Creed by the Western church.

Affirmation of the Samaritan (10 a.m.) (inspired by Luke 10: 25-37)The people may stand.

posted on the Faith and Unity Department of the Baptist Union of Great Britain.

God of love, give us a deep love for you, so that we can see the world as you see it, feel the compassion you feel, and be a people whose lives mediate your love to others.

-10-

Open our eyes that we might see what the Good Samaritan saw. Grant us the insight to see the need in others, the wisdom to know what to do, and the will to do it.

And so we pray for all those, who in many and various ways, have been stripped, beaten and left for dead.

We pray for children who must grow up in the most awful of circumstances, especially for those starved of love, or food, or shelter or security. May they receive the future you want for them.

We pray for those we might cross the road to avoid. Who have been excluded socially because of their race, their financial status, or their history. May the dignity that is theirs be restored to them.

We pray for those whose need we would rather not face, because it requires action of us, those who suffer atrocities because of war, unjust trade rules, or oppressive governments. May the world receive a true picture of their suffering and the factors that cause it, that justice may be done.

Open our eyes, that we might not cross the road from human need. Give us a deep love for you, that we might see your love at work in this world, and that we might Go and do likewise. Amen.

Prayers of the People Parish intercessions are listed on page 25.

Prayer of Confession (10 a.m.) (inspired by Luke 10: 25-37)Adapted from Thom Shuman, and posted on Lectionary Liturgies.

Deacon: They may not be beaten down or lying by the road,but there are people we pass by, Watching God.Some are family and friendswe take so much for grantedwe cannot see how we have strippedthem of our love and compassion.

People: Others are neighbors:who have been left half-dead by crushing work;who have fallen into the hands of despair;who have been abandoned by all thosewho walked on by them.

Deacon: Many are strangers, people we don’t know, but quickly judge: they are weak, or poor, or the enemyor because they remind us of whowe once were, or could become.

People: Rescue us from the power of our sins,Righteous One of all generations.Pour out your justice on us,rather than your judgment,that we would be moved with pity,and spurred to action;that we would hear of the hope that is ours,and share it with our sisters and brothers;that we would shower compassion on all we meet,even as we have received forgiveness for our sinsthrough Jesus the Christ. Amen.

Celebrant: Despite our resistance, we can be assured that God’s strong arm redeems the people. God calls us back to God’s realm, and encourages us with a love we can never lose no matter how hard we push back, no matter how often we forget, no matter how far we stray. We need but ask and we are forgiven.Be at peace, beloved; you are forgiven. Amen.

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 manyfor the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”

Celebrant:

Lifegiving God, your word speaks in the void, calling into being things that are not, inviting us toshare your work of creation.

We thank you for the ages long of gathering stars and cooling earth, of life evolving and waking eyesof wonder. We thank you for the creatures with whom we share the world, for their lives sodifferent from our own and the richness they reveal.

We thank you for the Son of Man, formed from Mary’s flesh and nurtured by her faith; he walkedthe growing earth and proclaimed a fearless kingdom of bird and lily, child and stranger, the beggarand the blind.

-18-

On the cross, he joined the labor of all creation’s yearning; in his rising, he hallowed all flesh to bearthe glory of God; he gives the brooding Spirit to bring to birth a living hope.

Therefore, with all that has life through him with animals and angels and all who hope for a new creation,we share the song of love which sounds from all eternity:

Sanctus (Holy) (10 a.m.)

The Celebrant continues:

We ask that your Holy Spirit will fall upon us + and upon these gifts + that these fragile, earthlythings may be to us the body and blood of our brother Jesus Christ; who, on the night that he wasbetrayed, gathered with his faltering friends for a meal that tasted of freedom. Calling them to histable, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and said: “This is my body, which is given for you. Dothis to remember me.”

In the same way after supper, he took the cup, saying: “This cup is the new covenant in my blood.Do this, whenever you drink it, to remember me.” As on that night, so here and now he offershimself in touch and taste beyond what all words can hold.

Deacon: Great is the mystery of faith.

People & Celebrant:

Christ has diedChrist is risenChrist is present now.

Celebrant:

Therefore, we come to him in whom all is created in heaven and on earth, whose cross and resurrectionmake all things new.

“Kicking at the Goads”–Seeking Spirit-led and Empowered Ways to Respondto Violence Around & Within Us—Sunday, July 17, at 11:45 a.m. in theBloom Education Center.

Fr. Allen Breckenridge, retired Episcopal clergy, is director of the wellness, self-defense, andcommunity-building program “The Spirit Dojo” which meets for training twice weekly on Mondaysand Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. in GSP’s McBride Hall. The discussion will be centered around waysto practice self-discipline and training, in mind, body, and spirit. In addition, we’ll take a look at howviolence and non-violence coexist within and around us and how Christ-bearing witness can affectand shape that dialectic. Join us—perhaps we don’t have to “kick at the goads” aimlessly orinstinctively; rather, we can act or react with more intentional, loving, and energetic choice.

! Acts 26:14 - On the road to Damascus, Paul, actively and self-righteously persecuting theChristian community, is met by the risen Jesus—“We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voicesaying to me in Aramaic, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick againstthe goads.’”

! “Kick against the goads”—a wise old saying. “First, the ox goad is a long pole or stick with apointed piece of iron fastened to one end. In the strong hands of a loving master, the ox isgently prodded, guided, steered and driven in the desired direction when plowing the fields.When a stubborn ox attempts to kick back against the goad that is causing it discomfort, theox will actually inflict more pain...” *

Upcoming Pet Expo

Grace St. Paul’s is sponsoring a booth at the Pet Expo in a few months, with 9,000 to 11,000visitors expected to attend. Our plan is to offer bandanas, baggies with treats, and printed materialsso that Tucson can learn about our Animals and Spirituality Ministry, as well as GSP. Currently, wewill need your help in the following ways.

How to help make the bandana project happen:

1. We need your fabric scraps in cotton or blends approximately 24" x 15" or larger. Weneed yards and yards. Seasonal prints like Christmas, Halloween, Fall, Easter, any animalprints like kitties or puppies, cartoon characters, children’s prints, flower prints, oreven cheerful solids are preferred, as it will be more interesting with a variety. Bringyour scraps and remnants to the church office so we can pick them up.

2. We need volunteers to cut the fabric into triangles, preferably with pinking shears sothey won’t ravel. We need two sizes—one for kitties and small dogs and a larger sizefor big dogs. The more volunteers, the less one must do. The number of bandanas isup to the amount of material we receive. Please call Nanette Alvarez to volunteer forthis.

3. We need people to attach our business card to the bandanas, however we/you decideto do that. Stitching, taping, stapling, folding are some of the options.

How to help make the baggies with treats project happen:

We will need people to put the cookies in the bag, as well as our business card. Please call TerriFranks for this part of the project.

Needless to say, this is a great opportunity to put into action our desire to do something for theanimals of the world, especially our companion animals. If you have any questions, please contactNanette Alvarez, Terri Franks, or The Rev. Chris Ledyard through the church office at(520) 327-6857. This call for help is to all members of the congregation.
