Prelude: “Morning Song” Gilbert M. Martin

The Entrance Rite

Hymn 9: “Not here for high and holy things” verses 1-4

1. Not here for high and holy things
we render thanks to thee,
but for the common things of earth,
the purple pageantry of dawning
and of dying days, the splendor of the sea,

2. the royal robes of autumn moors,
the golden gates of spring,
the velvet of soft summer nights,
the silver glistering of all the million, million stars,
the silent song they sing,

3. of faith and hope and love undimmed,
undying still through death,
the resurrection of the world,
what time there comes the breath of dawn
that rustles through the trees, and that clear voice that saith:

4. Awake, awake to love and work!
The lark is in the sky,
the fields are wet with diamond dew,
the worlds awake to cry their blessings
on the Lord of life, as he goes meekly by.

Opening Acclamation

Priest     ✠ Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
People     And blessed be his kingdom, now and forever. Amen.

The Collect for Purity

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.


The Gloria in Excelsis                                           Hymnal 1982, S-278

The Collect of the Day

Priest     The Lord be with you. 
People     And also with you.
Priest     Let us pray. 

O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Liturgy of the Word

The First Lesson: Ruth 3:1-5; 4:13-17

Naomi her mother-in-law said to Ruth, “My daughter, I need to seek some security for you, so that it may be well with you. Now here is our kinsman Boaz, with whose young women you have been working. See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor. Now wash and anoint yourself, and put on your best clothes and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking. When he lies down, observe the place where he lies; then, go and uncover his feet and lie down; and he will tell you what to do.” She said to her, “All that you tell me I will do.”

So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. When they came together, the Lord made her conceive, and she bore a son. Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without next-of-kin; and may his name be renowned in Israel! He shall be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is more to you than seven sons, has borne him.” Then Naomi took the child and laid him in her bosom, and became his nurse. The women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi.” They named him Obed; he became the father of Jesse, the father of David.

Reader     The Word of the Lord.
People     Thanks be to God.

The Psalm Psalm 127

1 Unless the Lord builds the house, *
their labor is in vain who build it.

2 Unless the Lord watches over the city, *
in vain the watchman keeps his vigil.

3 It is in vain that you rise so early and go to bed so late; *
vain, too, to eat the bread of toil,
for he gives to his beloved sleep.

4 Children are a heritage from the Lord, *
and the fruit of the womb is a gift.

5 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior *
are the children of one's youth.

6 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them! *
he shall not be put to shame
when he contends with his enemies in the gate.

The Second Lesson: Hebrews 9:24-28

Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Holy Place year after year with blood that is not his own; for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to remove sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for mortals to die once, and after that the judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

Reader     The Word of the Lord.
People     Thanks be to God.

Hymn 593: “Lord, make us servants of your peace”

1. Lord, make us servants of your peace:
where there is hate, may we sow love;
where there is hurt, may we forgive;
where there is strife, may we make one.

2. Where all is doubt, may we sow faith;
where all is gloom, may we sow hope;
where all is night, may we sow light;
where all is tears, may we sow joy.

3. Jesus, our Lord, may we not seek
to be consoled, but to console,
nor look to understanding hearts,
but look for hearts to understand.

4. May we not look for love’s return,
but seek to love unselfishly,
for in our giving we receive,
and in forgiving are forgiven.

5. Dying, we live, and are reborn
through death’s dark night to endless day:
Lord, make us servants of your peace,
to wake at last in heaven’s light.

Alleluia

The choir sings the Alleluias, then all repeat them.

The Gospel: Mark 12:38-44

Priest      The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Mark. 
People     Glory to you, Lord Christ.

As Jesus taught, he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets! They devour widows’ houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.” 

He sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the crowd putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. Then he called his disciples and said to them, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. For all of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”

Priest     The Gospel of the Lord. 
People     Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Confession of Sin

Celebrant 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 Celebrant pronounces an absolution. The people stand.

Anthem: “Who Will Separate Us from the Love of Christ?”  Philip Stopford                    

Who will separate us from the love of Christ?
Will hardship or distress, or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Who will separate us from the love of Christ?
As it is written, as it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all day long;
we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered.”
Who will separate us from the love of Christ?
No, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him who loved us.
Who will separate us from the love of Christ?
Will hardship or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present,
nor things to come, nor pow’rs, nor height,
nor depth, nor anything else in all creation
will be able to separate us from the
love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.


The Great Thanksgiving: 
Eucharistic Prayer A

The people stand and the priest sings

Priest     The Lord be with you.
People     And also with you.
Priest     Lift up your hearts.
People     We lift them to the Lord.
Priest     Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People     It is right to give him thanks and praise.


The priest continues

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:

Sanctus et Benedictus qui venit                                          Hymnal 1982, S-125

The priest continues 

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:


Priest and People

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


The priest continues

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. AMEN.

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

The Fraction

The priest breaks the consecrated Bread. A period of silence is kept.

Celebrant           Alleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;
People               Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia.

Priest The Gifts of God for the People of God.


Spiritual Communion: Act of Reception

During Communion, you are invited to say the following prayer form for receiving Spiritual Communion. Know that the grace of God is made present in your heart, even though the Sacrament is not received with the mouth.

In union, blessed Jesus, with the faithful gathered at every altar of your Church where your blessed Body and Blood are offered this day, I long to offer you praise and thanksgiving, for creation and all the blessings of this life, for the redemption won for us by your life, death, and resurrection, for the means of grace and the hope of glory.

I believe that you are truly present in the Holy Sacrament, and, since I cannot at this time receive communion, I pray you to come into my heart. I unite myself with you and embrace you with all my heart, my soul, and my mind. Let nothing separate me from you; let me serve you in this life until, by your grace, I come to your glorious kingdom and unending peace. Amen.

Come Lord Jesus, and dwell in my heart in the fullness of your strength; be my wisdom and guide me in right pathways; conform my life and actions to the image of your holiness; and, in the power of your gracious might, rule over every hostile power that threatens or disturbs the growth of your kingdom, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

Anthem: “Harvest Song”  Austin C. Lovelace


To you, O Lord, our hearts we raise
In hymns of adoration:
Accept our sacrifice and of praise,
Our shouts of exultation:
For by your hand our souls are fed-
What joys your love has given!
You give to us our daily bread,
So give us bread from heaven.
And now, on this our festal day,
Your love to us expressing
Our gifts before you,
Lord, we lay, The first fruits of your blessing;
Bright robes of gold the fields adorn,
The hills with joy are ringing;
The valleys stand so thick with corn
That even they are singing.
A country bright as day Beyond the crystal river,
Where hunger done, And thirst be gone forever;
Where praises loud and strong
That now with ours are blending;
We sing the harvest song that never has an ending.

Hymn 594: “God of grace and God of glory”

1. God of grace and God of glory,
on thy people pour thy power;
crown thine ancient Church’s story;
bring her bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the facing of this hour.

2. Lo! the hosts of evil round us
scorn thy Christ, assail his ways!
From the fears that long have bound us
free our hearts to faith and praise:
grant us wisdom, grant us courage
for the living of these days.

3. Cure thy children’s warring madness,
bend our pride to thy control;
shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal.

4. Save us from weak resignation
to the evils we deplore;
let the gift of thy salvation
be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
serving thee whom we adore.


After Communion, the priest says

Let us pray.


Priest and 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.

It’s Almost Here and We Need Your Help!

My good friends at St. Paul’s,

We are getting ready to head full swing into Christmas In Doylestown (CID), our largest Fundraiser for both the Church and two valuable organizations that help the less fortunate members of our community, Bucks County Housing Group and FISH. As the event draws near, we need to call on the members of our community to provide much needed help. There are numerous things you can do. For instance, we are looking for volunteers to help with hosting a house. This involves staying at one of the lovely homes we have this year during a part of the tour, to explain some of the unique characteristics of the house which make it special.  There is a sign up here if you would like to like to assist with that.

Another way you can become involved is to help with the Christmas Tea.  If you have gone on the tour in years past, you know that part of the Tour includes tea in the Parish Hall.  This involves yummy treats and a hot beverage, our Russian Tea is a particular favorite. We need people to help prepare the Tea, arrange the plates of food, welcome attendees, and clear the tables as the guest finish. A sign-up for that is available here.

If neither of these is your cup of tea (sorry I couldn’t resist) we also need people to bake treats for the Tea, as well as making treats for the Bake Table. A sign-up for baking for the tea is included here. An additional sign up for the bake table will be forthcoming.
If none of these has whet your whistle yet, then we are also asking for donations for our Raffle Baskets.  We are going to have one basket with Alcohol and with Gift Cards, as well as a 50/50 raffle and a few others.  Gift cards and Alcohol can be dropped off at the church during the week, or you can bring them on Sunday and give them to me or Sarah Gurka.
Thank you for considering ways in which you can help with this worthwhile project.
Sincerely,

Widgette, Sarah, and The CID Team

Women’s Ministry: Book Club Meeting: January

Please join us for our upcoming Women’s Ministry Book Club, on Saturday, January 25 at 10:00 AM, in St. Paul's Conference room. We will be discussing An Altar in the World by Barbara Brown Taylor. Please reach out to Nada Jamaty with any questions.

In An Altar in the World, Taylor shares how she learned to find God beyond the church walls by embracing the sacred as a natural part of everyday life. She shows us how to discover altars everywhere we go and in nearly everything we do as we learn to live with purpose, pay attention, slow down, and revere the world we live in. She explores spirituality which for many might be a longing for “more meaning, more feeling, more connection, more life.” For Taylor, the way to find that “more” is not in pilgrimages to India, mission trips to Belize and hours of fervent prayers, but rather within us by uncovering and developing this untapped resource through “practices” that she explores in the twelve chapters of her book.
