    Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost Holy Communion

    Our Mission

    As an interdenominational Christian community,

    we worship God in spirit and truth;

    teach and encourage the Christian faith;

    support the spiritual needs of our congregation, and

    reach out to others with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

    The Village Chapel An Enduring Vision of Christian Unity

    “It is believed by many that the influence of the Chapel is far reaching and that its message

    going out Sunday by Sunday to its world congregation, will have great effect in uniting the

    Christian forces of the land into a fellowship and a brotherhood unit until it can be said

    again as it was said of old: ‘See how these Christians love one another.’” The Rev’d William B.

    Hannon, “The Pinehurst Outlook,” November, 1924.

    As The Village Chapel begins its second century of worship and service to God, we are

    emboldened by our founding principles of Christian unity and community service, which

    were inspired by the words and example of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; through His

    death and resurrection; the Great Commission; and His prayer for unity “that we all may

    be one.”

    Located in the center and present at the inception of a community of religious expression

    - and seeking to be in harmony with the fellowship that has been a basic principle in the

    Village of Pinehurst - The Village Chapel offers a unique and gracious vision to its members

    and the community beyond: The actual reality of a church that is thankful for, dependent

    on, and inspired by the saving grace of Jesus Christ; a church that is welcoming, prayerful,

    and pre-eminent in the life of our community; and a church that—without regard for

    religious divisions within the Body of Christ—will always proclaim in thought, word, and

    deed the Good News that we are all united in Jesus Christ!

    “This Chapel will always stand for Christian Unity. Anyone who reads the 17th Chapter of

    St. John will believe that we are carrying out the desires of Jesus Christ. We believe that

    there is a deep blessedness in Christian fellowship. In whatever household of faith you were

    born, whatever creed you now profess, you can come to this sanctuary and feel at home in

    your Father’s house. Our constant prayers rise to the throne of God for our nation in these

    days that call for sacrifice, courage and faith. We cordially invite you to worship with us.”

    The Village Chapel’s welcoming statement, 1924.

    If you are visiting this morning, we welcome you to The Village Chapel

    and hope that you are with us again soon. If you are visiting us via livestream this morning,

    we welcome you and hope that you will join us again soon, in person,

    or continue to join us via livestream at 9:30 or 11:00 a.m.

    Prayers for the Church and People

    Invitation to Communion

    Prayer of General Confession (People) Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men: we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time, most grievously have committed by thought, word, and deed, against thy divine Majesty, provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings. The remembrance of them is grievous unto us, the burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; for thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ's sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant

  • 4

    that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life to the honor and glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

    Absolution

    Comfortable Words

    Sursum Corda Minister: Lift up your hearts.

    People: We lift them up unto the Lord. Minister: Let us give thanks unto our Lord God. People: It is meet and right so to do.

    Preface (proper prefaces as appointed) Therefore, with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious Name; evermore praising thee, and saying:

    Sanctus (People)

    Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts, heaven and earth are full of thy glory. Glory be to thee, O Lord Most High. Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

    Consecration of the Elements

    The Lord's Prayer (People)

    Prayer of Humble Access (People) We do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord, whose property is always to have mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in Him, and He in us. Amen.

    Holy Communion

    Prayer of Thanksgiving (People) Almighty and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee, for that thou dost vouchsafe to feed us who have duly received these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favour and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs through hope of thy everlasting kingdom, by the merits of his most precious death and passion. And we humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.

    COMMUNION SERVICE

    Preface

    It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven; who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

    Sanctus (People)

    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.

    Consecration of the Elements (Minister) Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself; and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all. He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world. On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, 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; 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 many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”

    Therefore, we proclaim the mystery of faith:

    People: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

    Minister: We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom. All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ. By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy

    Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and forever. Amen. The gifts of God for the people of God. Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.

    Holy Communion

    Prayer of Thanksgiving (People)

    Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of His Body and Blood. Send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

    Scripture Readings Isaiah 5:1-7 I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard: My loved one had a vineyard on a fertile hillside. 2 He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress as well. Then he looked for a crop of good grapes, but it yielded only bad fruit. 3

    “Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. 4 What more could have been done for my vineyard than I have done for it? When I looked for good grapes, why did it yield only bad? 5 Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled. 6 I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and briers and thorns will grow there. I will command the clouds not to rain on it.” 7 The vineyard of the Lord Almighty is the nation of Israel, and the people of Judah are the vines he delighted in. And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard cries of distress.

    Psalm 80:7-14 7 Restore us, God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved. 8 You transplanted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. 9 You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land. 10 The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches. 11 Its branches reached as far as the Sea, its shoots as far as the River. 12 Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes? 13 Boars from the forest ravage it, and insects from the fields feed on it. 14 Return to us, God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see!

    Philippians 3:4b-14 4 though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless. 7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. 12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Matthew 21:33-46 33 “Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. 34 When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit. 35 “The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. 36 Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. 37 Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said. 38 “But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ 39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 41 “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.” 42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: “‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? 43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away

  • 9

    from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them. 46 They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.

    Feed and Clothe My Children The Village Chapel Outreach is partnering with Eagle Springs Baptist Church to provide necessities for their community.

    A simple $25 check written to The Village Chapel with memo of Feed and Clothe will buy a $20 debit card and a $5

    pack of socks. We will purchase $20 debit cards from the Food Lion in Seven Lakes which is the only chain in this

    otherwise “food desert.” The socks will be purchased at Mid Pines Hosiery near Sanford. This is a Christian outlet store.

    A second option is to simply pick up debit cards as you shop at your favorite grocery chain. The pastor at Eagle Springs

    will use these to buy items for his food pantry which are then distributed to the community.

    The October Herald has a full explanation of this outreach effort. The leaders at Eagle Springs Baptist Church are very

    appreciative of our reaching to them. We can help them in their efforts to show the people to Christ instead of escaping

    with drugs.

    Please give this opportunity to help evangelize through word and deed to those in need as a priority as we enter the season

    of Thanksgiving. We thank you in advance for taking the time to read this article and for your participation with this outreach.

    Angel Tree Sign-up

    Thank you for your continued support of The Village Chapel's Angel Tree Program! We couldn't serve all these families without your ongoing generosity.

    This year due to the COVID-19 pandemic our community's needs are greater than ever. In Moore County the unemployment rate is going from less than 5% in 2019 to more than 12.6% in May 2020 and still rising.

    Due to the continued threat of the virus, some of our procedures will change this year. Please consider donating early by putting "Angel Tree" on the memo line or contacting me now for a family request and I will send you a family in September. This will allow time for online shopping if you are more comfortable with that and it will give us a better idea on the number of families we can adopt. God bless you.
