We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced,

gay, confused, filthy rich, comfortable, or dirt poor.

We extend a special welcome to wailing babies and excited toddlers.

We welcome you whether you can sing like Pavarotti or just growl quietly

to yourself. You‟re welcome here if you‟re just browsing, just woken up

or just got out of prison. We don‟t care if you‟re more Christian than the

Archbishop of Canterbury, or haven‟t been to church since Christmas ten

years ago.

We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up

yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome keep-fit

mums, football dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers,

vegetarians, junk-food eaters. We welcome those who are in recovery or

still addicted. We welcome you if you‟re having problems, are down in the

dumps or don‟t like „organized religion.‟ (We’re not that keen on it

either!)

We offer a welcome to those who think the earth is flat, work too hard,

don‟t work, can‟t spell, or are here because granny is visiting and wanted

to come to church.

We welcome those who are inked, pierced, both or neither. We offer a

special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion

shoved down their throat as kids or got lost in the city and wound up here

by mistake. We welcome pilgrims, tourists, seekers, doubters…and you! --with kind permission of Coventry Cathedral

All who are baptized are welcome to share in the sacrament of the altar. To receive

communion come to the communion rail at the direction of the ushers. Receive the bread

in the palm of your hand. Eat the bread and drink from the cup when it is offered to you.

Or, you may hold the bread and dip it into the wine when the cup is offered. If you wish

to receive a blessing rather than communion, please move to the communion rail and

cross your arms over your chest to receive a blessing.

Please maintain a time of silence, stillness and centering during the prelude and postlude.

Prelude: Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme ............................................ J.S. Bach

In procession: Merton .......................................................................... Hymn 59

THE WORD OF GOD: ........................... Prayer Book, p. 355

Trisagion ........................................................................... Hymnal, S100

The Collect of the Day: Merciful God, who sent your messengers the prophets to preach repentance

and prepare the way for our salvation: Give us grace to heed their warnings

and forsake our sins, that we may greet with joy the coming of Jesus Christ

our Redeemer; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,

now and for ever. Amen.

Rector Search Collect: Gracious and loving God, steadfast Shepherd and Guide: enlighten and

encourage us as we seek a new rector; keep us patient, prayerful and joyful,

and grant us clarity of vision to discern your will, that we may welcome

someone who will faithfully minister with the people of this parish. Grant

this through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

The First Reading: .......................................................... Isaiah 40:1-11 Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to

Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is

paid, that she has received from the Lord's hand double for all her sins. A

voice cries out: In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make

straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up,

and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become

level, and the rough places a plain. Then the glory of the Lord shall be

revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has

spoken.” A voice says, “Cry out!” And I said, “What shall I cry?” All

people are grass, their constancy is like the flower of the field. The grass

withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the Lord blows upon it; surely

the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of

our God will stand for ever. Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald

of good tidings; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of

good tidings, lift it up, do not fear; say to the cities of Judah, Here is your

God!” See, the Lord God comes with might, and his arm rules for him; his

reward is with him, and his recompense before him. He will feed his flock

like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms, and carry them in his

bosom, and gently lead the mother sheep.

Gradual: ....................................................................... Psalm 85:1-2, 8-13

The Second Reading: .................................................................... 2 Peter 3:8-15a Do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand

years, and a thousand years are like one day. The Lord is not slow about his promise,

as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to

come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the

heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire,

and the earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed. Since all these things

are to be dissolved in this way, what sort of persons ought you to be in leading lives of

holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God,

because of which the heavens will be set ablaze and dissolved, and the elements will

melt with fire? But, in accordance with his promise, we wait for new heavens and a

new earth, where righteousness is at home. Therefore, beloved, while you are waiting

for these things, strive to be found by him at peace, without spot or blemish; and

regard the patience of our Lord as salvation.

Sequence Hymn: Bereden väg för Herran .............................................. Hymn 65

The Holy Gospel: ................................................................................. Mark 1:1-8 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.”

Sermon by The Rev. Canon Laura Thomas Howell, Obl.S.B., Rector

The Nicene Creed ...................................................................... Prayer Book, p. 358

The Prayers of the People:

As we wait for the fulfillment of the ancient promises, let us offer prayers to our God

who speaks tenderly and whose patience is our salvation, saying, Come, O Lord, and save

us.

For the Church: remembering especially Michael our Presiding Bishop, Sean our bishop,

and the people and clergy of Christ Episcopal Church, Towanda, and St. Margaret‟s

Episcopal Church, Emmaus; the Anglican Communion, especially for the Diocese of

Northwestern PA, and The Diocese of Western North Carolina, and for Bishop

Emmanuel and the Diocese of Kajo-Keji .................................... Come, O Lord, and save us.

For the person God is preparing to be the ninth bishop of the Diocese of Bethlehem, let us

pray to the Lord. Let us pray to the Lord. ................................... Come, O Lord, and save us.

paths for communication and the resolution of disputes. giving courage to all who must

patience and courage, and never lose hope, let us pray to the Lord.

...................................................................................................... Come, O Lord, and save us.

Peter Paul, Rich, Joyce, Ron, Joan, Loyd, and those we remember in our hearts or by

name…(pause)…, that the uneven ground of their lives may be leveled to become a

highway for God‟s comfort and justice, let us pray to the Lord.

...................................................................................................... Come, O Lord, and save us.

For all the departed, remembering especially those who died this week, and James and

Lois Howell, in whose memory the Altar Flowers have been given, that they may find

rest and peace in the bosom of the Shepherd, let us pray to the Lord.

...................................................................................................... Come, O Lord, and save us.

Celebrant: Lifting our voices with all creation, with Mary the God-bearer and all the

saints, let us offer ourselves and one another to the living God through Christ. ............ Amen.

Confession of Sin ........................................................................ Prayer Book, p. 360

Commissioning of Lay Ministers

CELEBRANT: Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus, we are all baptized by the one

Spirit into one Body and given gifts for a variety of ministries for the common good.

Our purpose is to commission these persons in the Name of God and of this

congregation to a special ministry to which they are called.

SPONSOR: I present these persons who have chosen to serve as lectors, ushers, Altar

Guild, torch bearers, acolytes, Lay Eucharistic Visitors, musicians, Daughters of the

King, and those who have been licensed to administer the chalice in this congregation.

ANTIPHON: The cup of blessing which we bless is a sharing in the blood of Christ.

The bread which we break is a sharing in the Body of Christ. Read from the book,

from the law of God, clearly so that the people understand the reading. Bear the cross

and torches with reverence and serve at the altar with gladness, for you are serving at

the Lord‟s table. Raise sounds of joy to God. Show hospitality to strangers, for

thereby some have entertained angels unaware.

V. Your Word is a lantern to my feet:

R. And a light upon my path

V. I will go to the altar of God:

R. To the God of my joy and gladness.

V. As often as you eat this bread and drink this cup:

R. You proclaim the Lord‟s death until he comes.

V. When the song was raised in praise of the Lord:

R. The glory of the Lord filled the house of God.

V. We will recount to generations to come the praiseworthy deeds and the power of the

Lord:

R. And the wonderful works he has done.

V. Above everything, love one another earnestly.

R. For love covers many sins.

CELEBRANT: Are these persons you are to present prepared by a commitment to

Christ as Lord, by regular attendance at worship and by the knowledge of their duties

to exercise their ministry to the honor of God and the well-being of his Church?

SPONSOR: I believe they are.

CELEBRANT: You have been called to a ministry in this congregation. Will you, as

long as you are engaged in this work, perform it with diligence?

CANDIDATES: I will, with God‟s help.

CELEBRANT: Will you faithfully and reverently execute the duties of your ministry to

the honor of God and the benefit of the members of this congregation?

CANDIDATES: I will, with God‟s help.

CELEBRANT: Let us pray.

Grant, Almighty God, that those who serve in these ministries may live in love and

holiness according to your commandment and at the last, come to the joy of your

heavenly feast with all your saints in light; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN

In the name of God and this congregation, I commission you to administer the chalice,

read the Word, lead in intercessory prayer, welcome others in worship, prepare and

serve at the altar, and sing the Lord‟s praises.

example.

Victory House

Christmas Gift List for 2017

It’s almost Christmas again and time to remember our clients at

Victory House. For more than thirty years we have provided

presents to those less fortunate than we. For new parishioners a

little history seems in order. Victory House is a shelter for

homeless men. Trinity Church, along with other churches in

downtown Bethlehem, founded this mission in 1984. At first we

just provided a place to sleep, but now our program is much

more. The end goal is to reinstate these men back into society as

contributing members with the help of our excellent professional

staff.

Items may be brought to the church anytime after Thanksgiving

and put in the box at the back of the church. If you would rather

make a monetary donation, you may give the money to me at the

8 o’clock service or put it in an envelope marked for Victory House

in the collection plate.

Items needed:

Umbrellas Wallets Nail clippers Bars of soap Boxers or briefs (all sizes) Pocket-size notebooks Diabetic hard candies Plastic thong shower shoes for men Diabetic Socks (Walgreens)

Many of these items can be purchased at the Dollar stores, Wal-

Mart, K-Mart, etc., for very little cash. We all appreciate anything

you can give to make their Christmas a little happier. If you have

any questions, please call me at 610-865-3487.

Thank you,

Sally McIntosh

How to become a member—

You are very welcome to attend worship services, member or not. If you would like

to become part of the parish, it is easy. Just give your name, address, phone number

(and email address, if you have one) to a priest or usher, or leave it in the parish

office. Part of being an Episcopalian is giving of your time, talent and treasure. We

hope you will attend our special programs and join our other activities. There are so

many opportunities to become a working member – by helping with worship

services, or serving on a committee or outreach group.
