Collect

O Lord, make us have perpetual love and reverence for your

holy Name, for you never fail to help and govern those whom

you have set upon the sure foundation of your loving-kindness;

through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you

and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Genesis 21:8-21

The child grew, and was weaned; and Abraham made a great

feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. But Sarah saw the son

of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham,

playing with her son Isaac. So she said to Abraham, “Cast out

this slave woman with her son; for the son of this slave woman

shall not inherit along with my son Isaac.” The matter was very

distressing to Abraham on account of his son. But God said to

Abraham, “Do not be distressed because of the boy and

because of your slave woman; whatever Sarah says to you, do

as she tells you, for it is through Isaac that offspring shall be

named for you. As for the son of the slave woman, I will make

a nation of him also, because he is your offspring.” So

Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin

of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along

with the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and

wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. When the

water in the skin was gone, she cast the child under one of the

bushes. Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way

off, about the distance of a bowshot; for she said, “Do not let

me look on the death of the child.” And as she sat opposite

him, she lifted up her voice and wept. And God heard the voice

of the boy; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven,

and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid;

for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. Come, lift

up the boy and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make a

great nation of him.” Then God opened her eyes and she saw a

well of water. She went, and filled the skin with water, and

gave the boy a drink. God was with the boy, and he grew up;

3

he lived in the wilderness, and became an expert with the bow.

He lived in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother got a wife

for him from the land of Egypt.

Psalm 69: 8-11, 18-20

8 Surely, for your sake have I suffered reproach,

and shame has covered my face.

9 I have become a stranger to my own kindred,

an alien to my mother's children.

10 Zeal for your house has eaten me up;

the scorn of those who scorn you has fallen upon me.

11 I humbled myself with fasting,

but that was turned to my reproach.

18 Answer me, O Lord, for your love is kind;

in your great compassion, turn to me.'

19 "Hide not your face from your servant;

be swift and answer me, for I am in distress.

20 Draw near to me and redeem me;

because of my enemies deliver me.

Romans 6:1b-11

Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound? By

no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it? Do

you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ

Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we have been

buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ

was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too

might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with

him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in

a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified

with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we

might no longer be enslaved to sin. For whoever has died is

freed from sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe that

we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised

from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has

4

dominion over him. The death he died, he died to sin, once for

all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. So you also must

consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ

Jesus.

Matthew 10:24-39

Jesus said to the twelve disciples, “A disciple is not above the

teacher, nor a slave above the master; it is enough for the

disciple to be like the teacher, and the slave like the master. If

they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much

more will they malign those of his household! “So have no fear

of them; for nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered,

and nothing secret that will not become known. What I say to

you in the dark, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered,

proclaim from the housetops. Do not fear those who kill the

body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy

both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a

penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from

your Father. And even the hairs of your head are all counted.

So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.

“Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I

also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; but

whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my

Father in heaven. “Do not think that I have come to bring peace

to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I

have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter

against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-

in-law; and one’s foes will be members of one’s own

household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is

not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more

than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up the

cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who find their

life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will

find it.”

All are welcome to receive Holy Communion with us. Our tradition is to

receive both bread and wine, sharing in the common cup. Please assist the

chalice bearer by guiding the cup to your lips. You may also intinct by

dipping the wafer into the chalice. You may wish to receive the bread

only. Receiving the bread only is a valid and acceptable way to share in

Holy Communion. After consuming the wafer, simply cross your arms

over your chest to indicate that you do not wish to receive the wine.

Gluten-free wafers are available on request from the communion minister.

If you are feeling sick, please refrain from receiving the wine and be

mindful of those near you when passing the peace or shaking hands as

you enter and exit the church.

ST. JOHN’S NEW ONLINE PAYMENT PROCESS

In order to make online payments to St. John’s easier, we have

instituted a new, streamlined process. Payments for pledges and

other types of donations can now be set up with an online payment

profile at https://www.shelbygiving.com/stjohnsdc by using your

email address and creating a password. The password should

contain a combination of at least eight numbers and letters.

Payment can be made through VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and

American Express cards as well as debit cards and echecks or ACH

direct debits from your account. Just select your preferred method

of payment from the drop-down list. Select the fund to which you

wish to make a payment. A one-time payment can be executed this

way, or automatic recurring payments can be arranged by

following the instructions for scheduled payments. The site also

keeps track of your payments. We encourage you to use this

method of making payments and to let our financial secretary,

Preston Cherouny, know that you will switch to online payments at

a certain date.

Payments can now also be made by texting to 202-335-0365.

You will receive prompts on your device screen for completing the

process.

Please remember that this is a payment process, and St. John’s still

wants to receive your pledge. Pledging can be done online at our

website. By making a pledge, parishioners are not only making a

financial commitment to contribute a certain amount to St. John’s,

but they are also providing vital information to our Clergy and

Vestry needed to plan the budget.

If you have questions, please call Preston Cherouny at the

church office, 202-347-8766.

TWO EASY WAYS TO HELP OTHERS

• The empty casserole pans in the Parish House are waiting to be filled with food

for our partnership with So Others Might Eat (S.O.M.E.). St. John’s is

committed to sending food once a month to S.O.M.E. to be served in a meal

program for homeless and low-income persons in D.C. Participation is easy

and flexible! Pick up an empty casserole pan in the Parish House, fill it with a

casserole, and drop it off in the freezer near the dining room soda machine. A

parishioner picks up all the casseroles once a month and drops them off at the

meal site.

• When you travel, bring back unopened toiletry items for homeless

shelters. Place them in the basket in the connector between the Church and the

Parish House.

PASTORAL CARE AT ST. JOHN’S CHURCH

Praying for the sick and those in need is an important part of our life together.

We invite you to add yourself, family, or friends to the parish prayer list. Other

than birthdays, anniversaries, and deaths, names added to the prayer list will

appear for four consecutive weeks. If you would like the name to be on the

prayer list for a shorter or longer period of time, please let us know. We are

going to begin listing in parentheses the name of the person requesting prayers

for family and friends who are not members of the congregation. To add a

name to the prayer list, please contact the Rev. Andy Olivo at

andrew.olivo@stjohns-dc.org.

EDUCATION FOR MINISTRY

Our baptism as Christians calls us to ministry. The Education for

Ministry program provides participants with a deeper preparation to

carry out that ministry. Sponsored by the University of the South’s

School of Theology, and supported by this diocese and parish, EfM

offers an in-depth study of Christianity through reading, reflection,

prayer, and sharing in a supportive community of faith. EfM is much

more than “book learning,” for it seeks to integrate our Christian

heritage with our own life experiences through theological reflection.

The graduate-level curriculum offers the core of seminary studies – Old

Testament, New Testament, church history and modern theology.

While EfM is a four year program, it requires a commitment to only

one year at a time, with annual registration. If you must interrupt your

studies for any reason, you can resume them at any time, and in most

any place (even online). Each class meets weekly in seminar for three

hours during the academic year. The annual cost is $375; however,

scholarships are available and expense should deter no one.

A few spaces will be available in fall 2017. For more information,

please return the form below to the Parish House, or speak with

clergy or with mentors Joanne Hutton (703 282-4964,

joannerhutton@gmail.com) or Lyle Elder (703 307-1133,

D.Lyle.Elder@gmail.com).

I want to learn more about Education for Ministry.

a warm welcome to St. John’s.

We are delighted to have you worship with us. Please let us know who

you are and how we can best serve you by filling out a “Welcome”

card and leaving it in the offering plate or with an usher or greeter, and

joining us for the coffee hour following the service.

We welcome families with young children at our worship services.

Children’s Worship Bulletins are available from the ushers as you

enter the nave. For parishioners and visitors alike, nursery care for

children under age three is provided on Sunday from 9:15 a.m. to

12:15 p.m. The nursery is located next to the elevator on the lower

level of the Parish House. Take the elevator or stairs to the basement.

We also offer Summer Church School (during the 10:30 a.m.

service through July 30) for children ages three through ten.

All persons, including children, are invited to take part in the Holy

Eucharist. Parents may decide if their children receive the bread

and/or wine. Children may instead signal their desire to be blessed by

the priest at the altar by crossing their arms across their chest.
