St. Peter by-the-Lake Episcopal Church

Welcomes you

Cordial Welcome:

We welcome all who worship today at the Episcopal Church of St. Peter by-the-Lake.

Visitors are asked to sign the guest register in the Narthex. Everyone is invited to the

Parish Hall for food and fellowship immediately following the service.

Communion:

Visitors accustomed to receiving Holy Communion in their own church are welcome to

do so at St. Peter’s. Also, if one is unable to come to the altar rail, contact an Usher prior

to the service and communion will be brought to you.

Worship:

Worship in our Episcopal Church community should be characterized by a combination

of both tolerance and respect for others. If during worship you need to exit the nave

(sanctuary) or return, please consider the appropriate times to return during the liturgy:

times of congregational singing (hymns) or speaking (the creed); or at the peace. Please

try to refrain from leaving or entering during times of prayer/confession and during the

sermon. Our ushers will be at the doors to the Nave to assist you.

Children:

Worship in our Episcopal Church Community should be characterized by a combination

of both tolerance and respect for others. Children are always welcome in worship, but if

your child should become 'inconsolable', please consider quietly moving into the Narthex

or Fotinos Hall until your little one 'settles down'. Remember that we have a fully staffed

nursery (infants – 2 yrs.) downstairs for your convenience.

Want to know more?

Please speak to a greeter or a member of the clergy to get more information. You can

also visit us online at our parish website, www.saintpeterbythelake.net, and find us on

Facebook and Twitter.

COLLECT OF THE DAY Celebrant: Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every

race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad

this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may

reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives

and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever

and ever. Amen.

THE FIRST READING: Acts 2:1-21 Reader: When the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in

one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush

of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.

Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested

on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began

to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.

Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in

Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered,

because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each.

Amazed and astonished, they asked, "Are not all these who are speaking

Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native

language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia,

Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt

and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome,

both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs-- in our own languages we

hear them speaking about God's deeds of power." All were amazed and

perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" But others

sneered and said, "They are filled with new wine."

But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them,

"Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you,

and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for

it is only nine o'clock in the morning. No, this is what was spoken

through the prophet Joel:

`In the last days it will be, God declares,

that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh,

and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

and your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.

5

Even upon my slaves, both men and women,

in those days I will pour out my Spirit;

and they shall prophesy.

And I will show portents in the heaven above

and signs on the earth below,

blood, and fire, and smoky mist.

The sun shall be turned to darkness

and the moon to blood,

before the coming of the Lord's great and glorious day.

Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' "

Reader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.

People: Thanks be to God.

PSALM 104:25; 31-35, 37 spoken @ 8:30am

25 O Lord, how manifold are your works! *

in wisdom you have made them all;

the earth is full of your creatures.

31 You send forth your Spirit, and they are created; *

and so you renew the face of the earth.

32 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever; *

may the Lord rejoice in all his works.

33 He looks at the earth and it trembles; *

he touches the mountains and they smoke.

34 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; *

I will praise my God while I have my being.

35 May these words of mine please him; *

I will rejoice in the Lord.

37 Bless the Lord, O my soul. *

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! REFRAIN: Send forth your Spirit, O’ Lord, and renew the face of the earth.

THE SECOND READING: 1 Corinthians 12:3b-13

Reader: No one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit. Now there are

varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services,

but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same

God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the

manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through

the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of

knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same

Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the

working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of

spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation

of tongues. All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots

to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses.

For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members

of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the

one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-- Jews or Greeks, slaves or

free-- and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

Reader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.

People: Thanks be to God.

SEQUENCE HYMN The Church’s one foundation Hymnal 525 (1-2) Please stand.

Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.

People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.

THE HOLY GOSPEL: John 20:19-23 Gospeller: When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors

of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the

Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the

disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again,

“Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” When he

had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy

Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain

the sins of any, they are retained.”

Gospeller: The Gospel of the Lord.

People: Praise to you, Lord Christ.

THE SERMON Rev. Dr. Ron Taylor ~ (Silence follows the Sermon) ~

THE NICENE CREED 358 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,

8

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 HOLY COMMUNION

THE OFFERTORY

HYMN Doxology Old 100th

Praise God from whom all blessings flow,

Praise Him all creatures here below,

Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts,

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING (Eucharistic Prayer C) 369

Celebrant: The Lord be with you.

People: And also with you.

Celebrant: Lift up your hearts.

People: We lift them to the Lord.

Celebrant: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

People: It is right to give him thanks and praise.

Then, facing the Holy Table, the Celebrant proceeds

Celebrant: God of all power, Ruler of the Universe, you are worthy of

glory and praise.

People: Glory to you for ever and ever.

Celebrant: At your command all things came to be: the vast expanse of

interstellar space, galaxies, suns, the planets in their courses,

and this fragile earth, our island home.

People: By your will they were created and have their being.

Celebrant: From the primal elements you brought forth the human race,

and blessed us with memory, reason, and skill. You made us

the rulers of creation. But we turned against you, and betrayed

your trust; and we turned against one another.

People: Have mercy, Lord, for we are sinners in your sight.

Celebrant: Again and again, you called us to return. Through prophets

and sages you revealed your righteous Law. And in the

fullness of time you sent your only Son, born of a woman, to

fulfill your Law, to open for us the way of freedom and peace.

People: By his blood, he reconciled us.

By his wounds, we are healed.

Celebrant: And therefore we praise you, joining with the heavenly

11

chorus, with prophets, apostles, and martyrs, and with all

those in every generation who have looked to you in hope, to

proclaim with them your glory, in their unending hymn:

SANCTUS S-129

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,

heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.

The people stand or kneel.

Celebrant: And so, Father, we who have been redeemed by him, and

made a new people by water and the Spirit, now bring before

you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be the

Body and Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord.

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.

On the night he was betrayed he took bread, said the

blessing, broke the bread, and gave it to his friends, 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, gave thanks, 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."

Remembering now his work of redemption, and offering to you this

sacrifice of thanksgiving,

Celebrant

and

People: We celebrate his death and resurrection,

as we await the day of his coming.

Celebrant: Lord God of our Fathers and Mothers: God of Abraham, Isaac, and

Jacob, Sarah, Rachel, and Rebekah; God and Father of our Lord Jesus

Christ: Open our eyes to see your hand at work in the world about us.

12

Deliver us from the presumption of coming to this Table for solace

only, and not for strength; for pardon only, and not for

renewal. Let the grace of this Holy Communion make us one

body, one spirit in Christ, that we may worthily serve the

world in his name.

People: Risen Lord, be known to us in the breaking of the Bread.

Celebrant: Accept these prayers and praises, Father, through Jesus

Christ our great High Priest, to whom, with you and the

Holy Spirit, your Church gives honor, glory, and worship,

from generation to generation.

People: AMEN.(Danish 3-fold)

Celebrant: And now, as our Savior As our Savior Christ

Christ has taught us, has taught us,

we are bold to say, we now pray,

THE LORD’S PRAYER 364 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,

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.

A Word From The Rev. Dr. Ron Taylor

The Day of Pentecost: Spirit & Fire! The Day of Pentecost is June 4th this year, and this day marks the beginning of the long Pentecost season. Pentecost in the Christian Church is the anniversary of the coming of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus ascended, he instructed his disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they should receive power from heaven. As a group of 120 were praying in an upper room in Jerusalem 50 days after Jesus’ death and ten days after his Ascension into heaven, the Holy Spirit descended upon them with the sound of a great wind and with tongues of fire, which settled upon each of them. They began to speak in other languages and to preach boldly in the name of Christ. This tremendous manifestation of divine power marked the beginning of what we call the Church, which has ever since regarded Pentecost as its birthday. (The Rev. Dr. Don Armentrout – Synthesis) Faithfully, Father Ron Faithfully, Father Ron

Would you like to help out with Vacation Bible School this year, but can’t commit to volunteering every

night? Never fear – you can still help with this fun formation and outreach opportunity!

This year we will encounter eccentric magizoologist Newt Scamander as he arrives in 1926 New York

with his expansive suitcase full of magical creatures he’s collected over the years. We will meet his new

American companions: A demoted Magical Congress of the United States (a.k.a. MACUSA) worker Tina

Goldstein, her sister Queenie, and aspiring baker muggle (or No-Maj) Jacob Kowolski, and a few others

as we join them on a week-long adventure of finding God. Through drama, crafts and games, Seekers

will learn about God as Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer.

To make all this magic happen, we will need a few things from you! If you can help by donating any of

the following by July 13th, 2017, it would be most appreciated! Please place all items in the marked box

in Fotinos Hall. Thank you for helping with this ministry!
