TRANSCRIPT
The Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
July 5, 2020 10 a.m.
Morning Prayer Rite II
2
Whoever you are, wherever you come from, whatever joys or burdens you carry, you are welcome at Calvary Episcopal Church. And we are honored that you’ve chosen to say your prayers with us.
Calvary is an eclectic bunch of Christian people. We don’t all think the same thoughts, or dress the same way, or vote for the same candidates, or even believe all the same things about the mystery of God and what it means to be human. But, with St. Paul, we believe we need each other because of our differences, not in spite of them. God calls us out of estrangement into unity, not uniformity. A body made up of identical members can’t do much work in the world. Thumbs are so much more useful with fingers to push against, are they not?
So, I invite you to join in the life of this congregation with all that you are, in all your splendid uniqueness, maybe just for today, but maybe for the rest of your days. We are a fuller expression of Christ’s body because of your presence. And has our world ever been more needful of Christ’s reconciling, loving, and merciful body than now?
The Rev. Scott Walters Rector
I invite you to join in the life of this congregation with all that you are, in all your splendid uniqueness, maybe just for today, but maybe for the rest of your days.
Welcome to Calvary
3
Create an atmosphere of quiet reverence before worship. Let go of distractions and let the silence and music be gifts as we create sacred space.

THE LESSONS
THE FIRST LESSON Genesis 24:34-38, 42-49, 58-67 The servant said to Laban, “I am Abraham’s servant. The LORD has greatly blessed my master, and he has become wealthy; he has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female slaves, camels and donkeys. And Sarah my master’s wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and he has given him all that he has. My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live; but you shall go to my father’s house, to my kindred, and get a wife for my son.’
“I came today to the spring, and said, ‘O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now you will only make successful the way I am going! I am standing here by the spring of water; let the young woman who comes out to draw, to whom I shall say, “Please give me a little water from your jar to drink,” and who will say to me, “Drink, and I will draw for your camels also”—let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master’s son.’
“Before I had finished speaking in my heart, there was Rebekah coming out with her water jar on her shoulder; and she went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’ She quickly let down her jar from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will also water your camels.’ So I drank, and she also watered the camels. Then I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ So I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her arms. Then I bowed my head and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me by the right way to obtain the daughter of my master’s kinsman for his son. Now then, if you will deal loyally and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me, so that I may turn either to the right hand or to the left.”
And they called Rebekah, and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will.” So they sent away their sister Rebekah and her nurse along with Abraham’s servant and his men. And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “May you, our sister, become thousands of myriads; may your
6
offspring gain possession of the gates of their foes.” Then Rebekah and her maids rose up, mounted the camels, and followed the man; thus the servant took Rebekah, and went his way. Now Isaac had come from Beer-lahai-roi, and was settled in the Negeb. Isaac went out in the evening to walk in the field; and looking up, he saw camels coming. And Rebekah looked up, and when she saw Isaac, she slipped quickly from the camel, and said to the servant, “Who is the man over there, walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” So she took her veil and covered herself. And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done. Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent. He took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

CANTICLE 11, The Third Song of Isaiah: Surge, illuminare, read in unison, standing BCP p. 87Arise, shine, for your light has come, * and the glory of the Lord has dawned upon you.For behold, darkness covers the land; * deep gloom enshrouds the peoples.But over you the Lord will rise, * and his glory will appear upon you.Nations Will stream to your light, * and kings to the brightness of your dawning.Your gates will always be open; * by day or night they will never be shut.They will call you, The City of the Lord, * The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.Violence will no more be heard in your land, * ruin or destruction within your borders.You will call your walls, Salvation, * and all your portals, Praise.The sun will no more be your light by day; * by night you will not need the brightness of the moon.The Lord will be your everlasting light, * and your God will be your glory.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

THE SECOND LESSON Romans 7:15-25a I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. But in fact it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me. So I find it to be a law that when I want to do what is good, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!

THE THIRD LESSON Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30 Jesus said to the crowd, “To what will I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;we wailed, and you did not mourn.’ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon’; the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.” At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
The Word of the Lord.People Thanks be to God.
THE SERMON The Rev. Amber Carswell

and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

ANTHEM: Hear my prayer Felix Mendelssohn Hear my prayer, O God, incline thine ear; thyself from my petition do not hide. Take heed to me! Hear how in prayer I mourn to thee. Without thee all is dark, I have no guide. O for the wings of a dove; far away would I rove. In the wilderness, build me a nest, and remain there forever at rest. (William Bartholomew)

A special thanks to Noah Glenn and Bernie Bernil for providing video and sound services today.
We will live stream Evensong (Evening Prayer) on this evening at 5 p.m. on Calvary’s FaceBook and YouTube pages. “Choral Evensong is a 45-min long peace-inducing church service in which the ‘song’ of voices sounding together in harmony is heard at the ‘even’ point between the active day and restful night, allowing listeners time for restful contemplation–church members, agnostics and atheists alike.” (from choralevensong.org)

WORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Morning PrayerThe Calvary clergy lead weekday Morning Prayer, which is live-streamed on Calvary’s Facebook page Mondays through Fridays at 8 a.m.
Noonday Prayer
As we continue the process of re-opening Calvary for those who wish to say communal prayers in the nave, we have added noonday prayers every weekday in the nave. The service begins at noon. Doors will open 15 minutes early to allow time for silent meditation. Email the Rev. Amber Carswell, [email protected], if you require handicap access.
Distancing protocols are the same as for Sunday morning worship: • Parishioners attending worship services in-person will be seated at least six feet from other
households.• All attendees will be asked to wear masks (one will be provided if you do not have one). • Parishioners also will be asked to review the COVID-19 symptoms and to stay home if they have
experienced any of the symptoms in the previous 24 hours or if they have been exposed to anyone with COVID-19.
Compline
The Calvary staff lead weekday Compline, a simple service of evening prayers which is live-streamed on Calvary’s Facebook page Mondays through Fridays at 8 p.m. The ancient office of Compline derives its name from a Latin word meaning ‘completion’ (completorium). It is above all a service of quietness and reflection before rest at the end of the day.
Even while we are bodily apart, Calvary continues its work and ministry. Your staff is still working faithfully, and most of our overhead costs continue, even as we adjust thermostats and make every effort to save where we can. Please make your pledge or gift through Realm or on our website or by mail.
Altar Flowers and Aumbry CandleIf you would like to give Altar Flowers ($150) or the Aumbry Candle ($35) in honor or memory of someone, please contact Bookkeeper Cindy Yeager, [email protected]. There are several openings in the coming weeks.
Text to GiveDid you know you can text to give to Calvary? Simply send calvarymemphis + the amount you want to give (i.e. calvarymemphis 25) to 73256. You can choose offering, pledge, or memorial, and you only have to set up your payment information the first time. Questions? Contact Bookkeeper Cindy Yeager, [email protected].
