THE FIRST READING Read by Jessica Sanchez. Acts 7:55-60

Please be seated.

Filled with the Holy Spirit, Stephen gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God

and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. "Look," he said, "I see the heavens

opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!" But they covered

their ears, and with a loud shout all rushed together against him. Then they dragged

him out of the city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid their coats at the

feet of a young man named Saul. While they were stoning Stephen, he prayed,

"Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." Then he knelt down and cried out in a loud voice,

"Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he died.

Reader: The Word of the Lord.

People: Thanks be to God.

HYMN 487 (stanza 1) Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life

Sung by all, standing.

Words: George Herbert (1593-1633)

Music: The Call, Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)

Copyright: Reprinted under Onelicense.net # A-701275.

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

People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.

THE HOLY GOSPEL John 14:1-14

Jesus said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me.

In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have

told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for

you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you

may be also. And you know the way to the place where I am going." Thomas said

to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?"

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the

Father except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father also. From

5

now on you do know him and have seen him." Philip said to him, "Lord, show us

the Father, and we will be satisfied." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you all

this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the

Father. How can you say, `Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in the

Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my

own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the

Father and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the

works themselves. Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the

works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to

the Father. I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be

glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it."

Gospeller: The Gospel of the Lord.

People: Praise to you, Lord Christ.

HYMN 487 (stanzas 2 and 3) Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life

Sung by all.

THE SERMON The Rev. Dr. Luis León

Please be seated.

THE NICENE CREED

Please stand.

Celebrant and People:

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, 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

OFFERTORY ANTHEM

Greater love hath no man John Ireland

(1879-1962)

The Parish Choir

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. Love is strong as

death; greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his

friends.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to

sins, should live unto righteousness. Ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are

justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus. Ye are a chosen generation, a royal

priesthood, a holy nation, that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath

called you out of darkness, into his marvelous light.

I beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies, a living

sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING

Please remain standing.

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 God thanks and praise.

9

Celebrant: It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to

you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

But chiefly are we bound to praise you for the glorious Resurrection of your Son

Jesus Christ our Lord; for he is the true Paschal Lamb, who was sacrificed for us,

and has taken away the sin of the world. By his death he has destroyed death, and

by his rising to life again he has won for us everlasting life.

Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with

all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of

your Name:

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY LORD: S-125 Richard Proulx

Music: From A Community Mass; Richard Proulx (b. 1937)

Copyright: Reprinted under Onelicense.net # A-701275.

Please remain standing.

Celebrant: 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 to you, 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:

10

Celebrant and People:

Christ has died.

Christ is risen.

Christ will come again.

Celebrant: 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

for ever.

People: Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER

Celebrant: And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

Celebrant and People:

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.

THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD

Celebrant: Alleluia, alleluia! Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;

People: Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia, alleluia!

Celebrant: 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.

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.

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.

that those whom you will visit may share with us in the communion of Christ’s

Body and Blood.

LITURGICAL CHANGES DURING EASTERTIDE

Easter is the first of the two great cycles of feasts and holy days around which the church calendar is

organized; the other is Christmas. And Easter, or Eastertide, is not just one day, but a fifty-day liturgical

season which begins with the Great Vigil of Easter and ends on the Day of Pentecost. Easter has

liturgical symbols and practices which you may notice.

1) Frontal color and matching vestments – white and gold. We use a white altar frontal and the clergy

wear white stoles. White symbolizes our hope of the Resurrection, as well as the purity and newness

that come from victory over sin and death. Gold symbolizes the light of the risen Christ enlightening the

world, as well as our exaltation of Jesus as Lord and King.

2) The Pascal Candle, which represents Christ’s presence among us as the light of the world, is lighted for

all services.

3) Alleluias are back! Today we sing and say Alleluia in hymns and anthems, in the opening sentences,

and at the breaking of the bread (fraction) during communion. We give thanks that Christ not only died

but also rose again to save us all.

4) In lieu of the Kyrie (Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.), the Gloria (Glory to

God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth…) or other hymn of praise is used at the beginning

of the Eucharist service.

5) Prayers of the People. Instead of the more penitential arrangement we used during Lent (Form I, found

on page 383 of the Book of Common Prayer), during Eastertide we use special prayers for the

celebration of the Resurrection with thanksgiving and prayers for God’s continued grace.

6) Remain standing instead of kneeling. Whereas during Lent we knelt in the traditional prayer posture

for penitence, during Eastertide we stand at prayer in honor of Christ’s rising again and in jubilant

celebration of our salvation.

7) Musical setting for the Sanctus. At the communion we return to a celebratory musical setting for the

Sanctus (or Holy, holy, holy Lord), in contrast to the simpler plainsong composition that we sang during

Lent.

8) We return to the more familiar Eucharistic Prayer A, which we use during most Sundays of the

year.

9) The Proper Preface (a part of the Eucharistic Prayer that varies with the season) during Easter reminds

us of the great gift of the Resurrection, and ends with this great affirmation: By his death he has

destroyed death, and by his rising to life again he has won for us everlasting life.

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.

ST. JOHN’S SOUTH AFRICA TRIP TO

THE KWASA CENTRE

October 6-14, 2017

St. John’s will travel again to the Kwasa Centre in South

Africa this fall. The Rector will lead the trip, which will

include spending time at the Kwasa Centre with the Ven.

Sharron Dinnie and her parishioners at St. Peter and St. Paul’s

Anglican Church, as well as visits to the Apartheid Museum, a

Soweto Tour, and an overnight safari at the Pilanesberg Game

Reserve. If you have questions or are interested in being

part of the pilgrimage, please contact the Rev. Andy Olivo

at andrew.olivo@stjohns-dc.org or at 202-347-8766, ext.

307.

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.

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 8:15 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The nursery is located next to the elevator on the

altar by crossing their arms across their chest.

Welcome!

AT ST. JOHN’S CHURCH, we believe Christ is calling us to be a renewed church in a changing world.

Empowered by the Spirit of God, we respond to Jesus’ call as we deepen our bond with Christ through

worship, become a community where all are accepted, and work together as laity and clergy to do God’s work

in the world.

ST JOHN’S WAS ORGANIZED IN 1815 to serve as a parish church for Episcopalians residing in the

neighborhoods in the west end of the District of Columbia. Its cornerstone was laid on September 14, 1815,

and it was consecrated on December 27, 1816. Beginning with James Madison, every person who has held

the office of President of the United States has attended a service at the church. Several Presidents have been

communicants. Thus, St. John’s is often referred to as the “Church of the Presidents.” Pew 54 is the

President’s Pew. The architect of the church was Benjamin Henry Latrobe, who assisted in the rebuilding of

the U.S. Capitol and the White House after the War of 1812. Twenty-five of the stained glass windows in St.

John’s were designed and executed by artisans of the noted Lorin firm of Chartres, France.

BROCHURES DESCRIBING PARISH LIFE, the history of St. John’s, and the Episcopal denomination can be

found in the church entrance. If you are visiting, please fill out the visitor information card found at the end

of each pew to enable us to welcome you personally into the life of our parish.

ST JOHN’S WEBSITE WWW.STJOHNS-DC.ORG has up-to-date information about the Church including the

weekly calendar, the Sunday service schedule, Adult Forum speakers and topics, the music calendar and

newsworthy events.
