Prelude Etude #6 Leo Brouwer BVW 924 Bach Introit May God be gracious sung by the Choral Scholars

May God be gracious and bless us all, and make his goodness shine on us,

That thy way may be known on earth, thy saving power is shared by all.

Let people’s praise You, and sing, with joy; for You are judge and justice for all,

and help all nations upon the earth, that altogether give praise to him.

The earth has food for all to share. O God, our God has blessed us all.

Let all God’s people fear the Lord. Alleluia, for ever more.

From “The New England Psalm Singer”

William Billings 1746-1800

The Word of God Stand as you are able.

ENTRANCE HYMN O worship the King, all glorious above verses 1 -3

We are in the long season after Pentecost which is often called Ordinary Time. This season lasts until the end of November. The traditional color for season is green and the altar frontal, stoles, and chasuble are all green in this season.

The Celebrant says

Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

People And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.

The Celebrant says COLLECT FOR PURITY

Dios omnipotente, para quien todos los

corazones están manifiestos, todos los

deseos conocidos y ningún secreto encubierto: Purifica los pensamientos de

nuestros corazones con la inspiracio ́n de tu

Santo Espi ́ritu, para que perfectamente te amemos y dignamente celebremos tu Santo

Nombre; por Cristo nuestro Sen ̃or. Ame ́n.

Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

OPENING ANTHEM Glory to God

This prayer is called the Collect for Purity, and it is reminiscent of Psalm

51. As its name implies, this is the state in which we hope to approach God in

worship. The prayer dates back to the 11th century, which means

it would have originally been in Latin. In this

season, as a sign of welcome, the

Celebrant is saying this prayer in Spanish.

THE COLLECT OF THE DAY

Celebrant The Lord be with you.

People And also with you.

Celebrant Let us pray.

Grant to us, Lord, we pray, the spirit to think and do always those things that are right, that we, who cannot exist without you, may by you be enabled to live according to your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Collect of the Day is a prayer that “collects” and organizes our thoughts. Like a sonnet or haiku, it follows a traditional structure – a preamble (address, invocation), a petition, and a conclusion (meditation). There is often an allusion to the Gospel reading. There is a Collect of the Day for each week of the year as well as special feast days.

The Lessons The people sit.

FIRST READING: Genesis 37:1-4, 12-28 A Reading from book of Genesis. 1Jacob settled in the land where his father had lived as an alien, the land of Canaan. 2This is the story of the family of Jacob.

Joseph, being seventeen years old, was shepherding the flock with his brothers; he was a helper to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives; and Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father. 3Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he had made him a long robe with sleeves. 4But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.

12Now his brothers went to pasture their father’s flock near Shechem. 13And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.” He answered, “Here I am.” 14So he said to him, “Go now, see if it is well with your brothers and with the flock; and bring word back to me.” So he sent him from the valley of Hebron.

He came to Shechem, 15and a man found him wandering in the fields; the man asked him, “What are you seeking?” 16“I am seeking my brothers,” he said; “tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock.” 17The man said, “They have gone away, for I heard them say, ‘Let us

go to Dothan.’ ” So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them at Dothan. 18They saw him from a distance, and before he came near to them, they conspired to kill him. 19They said to one another, “Here comes this dreamer. 20Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; then we shall say that a wild animal has devoured him, and we shall see what will become of his dreams.” 21But when Reuben heard it, he delivered him out of their hands, saying, “Let us not take his life.” 22Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood; throw him into this pit here in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him”—that he might rescue him out of their hand and restore him to his father. 23So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, the long robe with sleeves that he wore; 24and they took him and threw him into a pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it.

25Then they sat down to eat; and looking up they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels carrying gum, balm, and resin, on their way to carry it down to Egypt. 26Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? 27Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay our hands on him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers agreed. 28When some Midianite traders passed by, they drew Joseph up, lifting him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.

Psalm: 105:1-6, 16-22, 45b Sung by the Choral Scholars Remain seated.

1Give thanks to the Lord and call upon his Name; *

make known his deeds among the peoples.

2Sing to him, sing praises to him, *

and speak of all his marvelous works.

3Glory in his holy Name; *

let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

4Search for the Lord and his strength; *

continually seek his face.

5Remember the marvels he has done, *

his wonders and the judgments of his mouth,

6O offspring of Abraham his servant, *

O children of Jacob his chosen.

16Then he called for a famine in the land *

and destroyed the supply of bread.

17He sent a man before them, *

Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

18They bruised his feet in fetters; *

his neck they put in an iron collar.

19Until his prediction came to pass, *

the word of the Lord tested him.

20The king sent and released him; *

the ruler of the peoples set him free.

21He set him as a master over his household, *

as a ruler over all his possessions,

22To instruct his princes according to his will *

and to teach his elders wisdom. 45bHallelujah!

SECOND READING: Romans 10:5-15 A Reading from Paul's letter to the Romans. 5Moses writes concerning the righteousness that comes from the law, that “the person who does these things will live by them.” 6But the righteousness that comes from faith says, “Do

not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7“or

‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8But what does it say? “The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved.

Page | 8

11The scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.” 12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. 13For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” 14But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? 15And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

Reader The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God.

SEQUENCE HYMN At the name of Jesus verses 1 & 2

Page | 9

GOSPEL: Matthew 14:22-33

Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew.

People Glory to you, Lord Christ. 22Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.23And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24but by this time the boat, battered by the waves, was far from the land, for the wind was against them. 25And early in the morning he came walking toward them on the sea. 26But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear. 27But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.” 28Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came toward Jesus. 30But when he noticed the strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

Deacon The Gospel of the Lord.

People Praise to you, Lord Christ. SEQUENCE HYMN At the name of Jesus See previous page verse 3 THE SERMON The Rev. Rob Keim

THE NICENE CREED All stand.

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.

The Episcopal Church does not have a

separate statement of faith or list of things

we believe. Instead we hold the ancient

Creeds, such as the Apostles’ and Nicene, to be our statements of faith. They contain the core of our belief as Christians, but do

not limit our faith.

It is traditional for the Gospel reading to be proclaimed from the midst of the people. Thus, the Deacon and book holder process to the middle of the center aisle with the Gospel Book, and the people all turn toward the reader. As the Gospel is announced, some people use their thumb to make the sign of the cross on their forehead, mouth, and heart. These three locations indicate that the Gospel reading is to enter the mind, voice, and heart.

Page | 10

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 PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE

(The Intercessor then reads the petitions from the comment section of FB Live.)

Following a time of silence, the Deacon adds a concluding Collect.

CONFESSION OF SIN

The Deacon or Celebrant says Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.

Silence may be kept. Minister and People

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. The Priest stands and says

Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

THE PEACE All stand.

Celebrant The peace of the Lord be always with you.

People And also with you.

Then the Ministers and the People may greet one another in the name of the Lord.

ANNOUNCEMENTS The people sit.

Birthdays: Anniversaries: Birthday Prayer

Gracious God, who made us in your own image, we thank you for life, love, and joy. Send

The Holy Communion

OFFERTORY ANTHEM How sacred a feast sung by the Choral Scholars

How sacred a feast is this in which Christ is himself consumed; recalled to ev’ry memory are his passion and triumph. Now the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge now is given us. pledge of future glory. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

DOXOLOGY The people stand and sing.

The Great Thanksgiving The People 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 our thanks and praise.

Celebrant It is truly right, and good and joyful, to give you thanks, all-holy God, source of life and fountain of mercy.

For you are the source of light and life; you made us in your image, and called us to new life in Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, joining with Angels and Archangels and with the faithful of every generation, we lift our voices with all creation as we sing:

The Celebrant and People sing together

In this season we use Eucharistic Prayer 1 from the supplemental Episcopal resource called “Enriching our Worship.”

Page | 14

The Celebrant continues

Blessed are you, gracious God, creator of the universe and giver of life. You formed us in your own image and called us to dwell in your infinite love. You gave the world into our care that we might be your faithful stewards and show forth your bountiful grace. But we failed to honor your image

Page | 15

in one another and in ourselves; we would not see your goodness in the world around us; and so we violated your creation, abused one another, and rejected your love. Yet you never ceased to care for us, and prepared the way of salvation for all people. Through Abraham and Sarah you called us into covenant with you. You delivered us from slavery, sustained us in the wilderness, and raised up prophets to renew your promise of salvation. Then, in the fullness of time, you sent your eternal Word, made mortal flesh in Jesus. Born into the human family, and dwelling among us, he revealed your glory. Giving himself freely to death on the cross, he triumphed over evil, opening the way of freedom and life. On the night before he died for us, Our Savior Jesus Christ took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, 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.” As supper was ending, Jesus 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 poured out for you and for all for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.” Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:

Celebrant and People Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

Page | 16

The Celebrant continues Remembering his death and resurrection, we now present to you from your creation this bread and this wine. By your Holy Spirit may they be for us the Body and Blood of our Savior Jesus Christ. Grant that we who share these gifts may be filled with the Holy Spirit and live as Christ’s Body in the world. Bring us into the everlasting heritage of your daughters and sons, that with Barnabas and all your saints, past, present, and yet to come, we may praise your Name for ever.

Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

to you be honor, glory, and praise,

for ever and ever. Amen.

The Deacon says

As our Savior Christ has taught us, we now pray,

People and Celebrant

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your Name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done, on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins

as we forgive those who sin against us.

Save us from the time of trial

and deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power,

and the glory are yours,

now and forever. Amen.

Page | 17

The Celebrant and People sing together

The Celebrant says The Gifts of God for the People of God.

Celebrant and People say together

In union, O Lord, with your faithful people at every altar of your Church, where the Holy Eucharist is now being celebrated, I desire to offer to you praise and thanksgiving. I remember your death, Lord Christ; I proclaim your resurrection; I await your coming in glory. Since I cannot receive you today in the Sacrament of your Body and Blood, I beseech you to come spiritually into my heart. Cleanse and strengthen me with your grace, Lord Jesus, and let me never be separated from you. May I live in you, and you in me, in this life and in the life to come. Amen.

This “Prayer of Spiritual Communion” is traditionally said when we cannot be gathered together in one place to share the bread and wine. Thus, it is appropriate to say together during our online Eucharist.

Page | 18

COMMUNION HYMN There is a balm in Gilead

After Communion, the Celebrant says

Let us pray.

Celebrant and People say together

Most loving God, creator and redeemer, we give you thanks for this foretaste of your glory. Through Christ, and with all your saints, we offer ourselves and our lives to your service. Send us out in the power of your Spirit, to stand with you in your world. We ask this through Jesus Christ, the servant, our friend and brother. Amen. The people stand and the Priest blesses the people, saying

The blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be upon you and remain with you for ever. Amen.

This post communion prayer is from a supplemental Anglican resource. Note how it feels different than the standard prayer we commonly use.

CONCLUDING HYMN O God our help in ages past verses 1-3

PARTING HYMN God be with you till we meet again

Postlude Solemn Melody Walford Davies

Deacon Let us go forth into the name of Christ. Alleluia, alleluia.

People Thanks be to God. Alleluia, alleluia.

This Parting Hymn became popular during World War II. We have

added it to remind us of the joy we will have

when we are “released” and reunited with one

another. We will continue to sing the

various verses of this hymn until we meet

again.

Life at St. Barnabas Today, at 8am and 11:30am – We are beginning two (2) in-person outdoor worship services on Sunday mornings at 8:00am and 11:30am. The worship will be in the courtyard. We will also keep our online Eucharist at 10:00am for those who aren’t able to join in-person. To ensure safety and hygiene the in-person worship services will require: the wearing of masks, physical distancing, no singing or chanting, and no Eucharist. We will limit attendance at each outdoor service to twenty-five people which means we will use a reservation system. If you are interested in attending our in-person outdoor worship next Sunday, August 16th then you must request a reservation by Tuesday, August 11 at 5 pm. Your reservation request must be sent to David Ottesen directly at ottesen2@icloud.com or 805-474-4365 with the following information:

Name and preferred method of contact (email or phone) Number of people in the reservation (include people who ride to church with you) Preferred service (8 or 11:30 am)

Reservation requests will be chosen by a modified lottery, and you will then be notified whether your reservation request can be filled or not. Please do not come to the in-person outdoor worship without a confirmed reservation. Remember to bring your own chair. I believe that our churches play an important role in teaching us how to, once again, be physically present with one another. We can help people get over a sense of uneasiness in being near others, and we can do this safely. Opportunities to gather virtually during the Shelter-At-Home emergency.

Making donations to St. Barnabas – As you know, COVID-19 has temporarily suspended our in-person worship but many of us want to continue to contribute to St. Barnabas. We have several options to continue giving as we progress through this change in how we worship.

Electronic transfer This might be a good time to consider setting up electronic transfer of funds. At St. Barnabas we have Quick Pay with Zelle set up and many banks and financial institutions also use this software. Payments can be set up as one-time or recurring. To transfer money, use the email address of the Financial Secretary (stbarnabas.financial@gmail.com) as the recipient. If you have questions or difficulties setting it up, call Janette Sofranko at 805-801-4526 Auto pay from your financial institution Many banks and financial institutions offer a service often called Auto Pay or Bill Pay. It’s fairly easy to set up online if you do online banking. We have several donors using this option today. The payment can be set up one time or recurring. The bank will issue the check on the date you give them and mail the check to St. Barnabas. Mail your check You can also mail your check to St. Barnabas.
