of his Name. For the Lord is gracious; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth from generation to generation.

dedication and blessing
Bp. Katharine Friends in Christ, we acknowledge, in the name of God, the acolytes gathered here today; and we pray that God
will richly bless them in their ministry.
The presiding bishop invites the acolytes to stand, saying:
Acolytes
Dear people of God, you present yourselves here today as those called to serve at the altar of God in your
congregations. Do you dedicate yourselves to a life of loving service to God, desire to assist in the leadership of
worship, and promise to remain faithful in prayer, service and praise?
We rededicate ourselves to the service of God; our Creator, our Redeemer, and our Sustainer.
Bp. Katharine Let us pray.
Acolytes
Gracious God, the epitome of light and love, you call us to light the way for your people in a world of change
and uncertainty. Grant to your acolytes reverent hearts, steady hands, and the will to persevere in service at
your altar and to persist in prayer. Bless and guide us by your wisdom. Help us to spread your word throughout
the world; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God now
and forever. Amen.
All stand.
Bp. Katharine Will all you who witness these promises do all in your power to support these young people in their service as
acolytes?
People
We will, with God’s help.
Bp. Katharine Everliving God, bless these acolytes. May they praise your holy Name as they serve your people at worship, in
the celebration of sacrament, and at prayer.
People
Amen.
Bp. Katharine Praise God who made heaven and earth.
People
Whose promise endures for ever.
The presiding bishop prays the collect and the people respond, Amen.
The Word of God
the first reading
Isaiah 53:7-11
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that
before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By a perversion of justice he was taken away. Who could have imagined
his future? For he was cut off from the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people. They made his grave with the
wicked and his tomb with the rich, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of
the Lord to crush him with pain. When you make his life an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring, and shall prolong his days;
through him the will of the Lord shall prosper. Out of his anguish he shall see light; he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge.
The righteous one, my servant, shall make many righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.
Reader
The Word of the Lord.
People
Thanks be to God.

psalm 67
Chant: Robert Knox Kennedy
One measure of music is sung for each half verse, changing pitch on the underlined syllable.
May God be merciful to us and bless us,
show us the light of his countenance and come to us.
Let your ways be known upon earth,
your saving health among all nations.
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.
The earth has brought forth her increase;
may God, our own God, give us his blessing.
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you judge the peoples with equity
and guide all the nations upon earth.
May God give us his blessing,
and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe of him.
the second reading
Acts 8: 26-40
An angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Get up and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
(This is a wilderness road.) So he got up and went. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, queen
of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury. He had come to Jerusalem to worship and was returning home; seated in his
chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah. Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over to this chariot and join it.” So Philip ran
up to it and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. He asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” He replied, “How
can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to get in and sit beside him. Now the passage of the scripture that he
was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and like a lamb silent before its shearer, so he does not open his
mouth. In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth.”
The eunuch asked Philip, “About whom, may I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” Then
Philip began to speak, and starting with this scripture, he proclaimed to him the good news about Jesus. As they were going along
the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water! What is to prevent me from being baptized?” He
commanded the chariot to stop, and both of them, Philip and the eunuch, went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.
When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his
way rejoicing. But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he was passing through the region, he proclaimed the good news to all
the towns until he came to Caesarea.

the holy gospel

of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey
everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Let the peoples praise you, O God
Bruce Neswick (b. 1956)
Let the peoples praise you, O God: let all the people praise you. May God be merciful to us and bless us, show us the light of his
countenance and come to us. Let your ways be known upon earth, your saving health among all nations. Let the nations be glad
and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity, and guide all the nations upon earth. The earth has brought forth her
increase; may God, our own God, give us his blessing. God shall bless us: and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe of him.
Let the peoples praise You, O God: let all the people praise You.

The presiding bishop gives thanks to God for the reconciling work of Christ’s passion and resurrection and prays over the bread and wine.
Bp. Katharine Bp. & People
And so, remembering all that was done for us: the cross, the tomb, the resurrection and ascension, longing for Christ’s coming in glory, and presenting to you these gifts your earth has formed and human hands have made, we acclaim you, O Christ:
Dying, you destroyed our death. Rising, you restored our life. Christ Jesus, come in glory!
Bp. Katharine Send your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts of bread and wine that they may be to us the Body and Blood of your Christ. Grant that we, burning with your Spirit’s power, may be a people of hope, justice and love.
Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, we worship you our God and Creator in voices of unending praise.
Bp. & People Blessed are you now and for ever. AMEN.
the lord’s prayer
As we join our prayers with those of the Church Universal, so we say, each in our own language, the prayer that Jesus Christ has
taught us,
Notre Père…, Padre nuestro…, Vater unser…,
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.

Ave verum corpus
Colin Mawby (b. 1936)
Ave verum corpus, natum de Maria Virgine; vere Passum immolatum in cruce pro homine; cujus latus perforatum unda fluxit
sanguine; esto nobis praegustatum in mortis examine.
Hail true Body, born of the Virgin Mary, which in anguish to redeem us did’st suffer upon the cross; from whose side, when pierced
by spear, there came forth water and blood; be to us at our last hour the source of consolation.
—Sequence for the Feast of Corpus Christi

O clap your hands
Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)
O clap your hands, all ye people: shout unto God with the voice of triumph for the Lord most high is terrible; He is a great King
over all the earth. God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises, sing praises to God; sing
praises, sing praises unto our King. For God is the King of all the earth; sing ye praises every one that hath understanding. God
reigneth over the heathen; God sitteth upon the throne of His holiness. Sing praises, sing praises unto our King.
—Psalm 47
