Said by all<br />
1 O LORD our Governor,<br />
how exalted is your Name in all the world!<br />
2 Out of the mouths of infants and children<br />
your majesty is praised above the heavens.<br />
3 You have set up a stronghold against your adversaries,<br />
to quell the enemy and the avenger.<br />
4 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,<br />
the moon and the stars you have set in their courses,<br />
5 What is man that you should be mindful of him?<br />
the son of man that you should seek him out?<br />
6 You have made him but little lower than the angels;<br />
you adorn him with glory and honor;<br />
7 You give him mastery over the works of your hands;<br />
you put all things under his feet:<br />
8 All sheep and oxen,<br />
even the wild beasts of the field,<br />
9 The birds of the air, the fish of the sea,<br />
and whatsoever walks in the paths of the sea.<br />
10 O LORD our Governor,<br />
how exalted is your Name in all the world!<br />

The Epistle ......................................................................................................... Galatians 4:4-7<br />
When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the<br />
law, in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption<br />
as children. And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our<br />
hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then<br />
also an heir, through God.<br />

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.<br />
Glory to you, Lord Christ.<br />
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another,<br />
"Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has<br />
made known to us." So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child<br />
lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known what had been told them<br />
about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them. But<br />
Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned,<br />
glorifying and praising God <strong>for</strong> all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. After<br />
eight days had passed, it was time to circumcise the child; and he was called Jesus, the<br />
name given by the angel be<strong>for</strong>e he was conceived in the womb.<br />

The Nicene Creed<br />
All stand<br />
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that<br />
is, seen and unseen.<br />
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the<br />
Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made,<br />
of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and <strong>for</strong> our<br />
salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became<br />
incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified<br />
under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again<br />
in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right<br />
hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his<br />
kingdom will have no end.<br />
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father<br />
and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken<br />
through the Prophets.<br />
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic <strong>Church</strong>. We acknowledge one baptism <strong>for</strong><br />
the <strong>for</strong>giveness of sins. We look <strong>for</strong> the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the<br />
world to come. Amen.<br />
The Prayers of the People................................................................................. Form III<br />

That your Name may be glorified by all people.<br />
We pray <strong>for</strong> all bishops, priests, and deacons;<br />

We pray <strong>for</strong> all who govern and hold authority in the nations of the world, especially<br />
Barack our president and Pat our governor;<br />
That there may be justice and peace on the earth.<br />
Give us grace to do your will in all that we undertake;<br />
That our works may find favor in your sight.<br />

That they may be delivered from their distress.<br />

Let light perpetual shine upon them.<br />
We praise you <strong>for</strong> your saints who have entered into joy;<br />
May we also come to share in your heavenly kingdom.<br />
Let us pray <strong>for</strong> our own needs and those of others.<br />
Silence<br />
The Priest stands and says<br />
Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.<br />
All are welcome to kneel<br />
Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and<br />
deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you<br />
with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry<br />
and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and<br />
<strong>for</strong>give us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your<br />
Name. Amen.<br />

The Priest continues,<br />
Almighty God have mercy on you, <strong>for</strong>give you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ,<br />
strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life.<br />
Amen.<br />

The Officiant continues<br />
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father<br />
Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.<br />
A proper preface is said by the Officiant and then continues<br />
There<strong>for</strong>e we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the<br />
company of heaven, who <strong>for</strong> ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:<br />
Officiant and People<br />
Sanctus ............................................................................................................... Richard Proulx<br />
At the conclusion of the Sanctus, the people may stand or kneel.<br />
We give thanks to you, O God, <strong>for</strong> the goodness and love which you have made known to<br />
us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the<br />
prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you<br />
9
sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the<br />
world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand be<strong>for</strong>e you. In<br />
him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of<br />
death into life.<br />
On the night be<strong>for</strong>e he died <strong>for</strong> us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had<br />
given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my<br />
Body, which is given <strong>for</strong> you. Do this <strong>for</strong> the remembrance of me.”<br />
After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them,<br />
and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed <strong>for</strong><br />
you and <strong>for</strong> many <strong>for</strong> the <strong>for</strong>giveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this <strong>for</strong> the<br />
remembrance of me.”<br />
There<strong>for</strong>e, according to his command, O Father,<br />
Officiant and People say<br />
We remember his death,<br />
We proclaim his resurrection,<br />
We await his coming in glory;<br />
And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to<br />
you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.<br />
We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the<br />
Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son<br />
in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.<br />
In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that<br />
heavenly country where, with all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your<br />
sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head<br />
of the <strong>Church</strong>, and the author of our salvation.<br />
By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is<br />
yours, Almighty Father, now and <strong>for</strong> ever. AMEN.<br />
10
The Officiant continues<br />
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to pray,<br />
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be<br />
done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And <strong>for</strong>give us our<br />
trespasses, as we <strong>for</strong>give those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation,<br />
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, <strong>for</strong> ever<br />
and ever. Amen.<br />
The Officiant breaks the consecrated Bread. A period of silence is kept.<br />

Hymn at Communion ........................... Hymnal 248 ........................................................ Oriel<br />
Officiant and People<br />
Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your<br />
Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of<br />
his Body and Blood. Send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and<br />
courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart; through Christ<br />
our Lord. Amen.<br />

A note from Joanie Somerville:<br />
To my <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Mark's</strong> family,<br />
Words cannot adequately express my gratitude. Never in my life have I witnessed<br />
or received such an out pouring of love. The loss of Shawn is something I will<br />
never get over and has changed our lives in a way that is unfathomable, but I can<br />
honestly tell you that if it weren't <strong>for</strong> all of you, I don't think I would be able to go<br />
on. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, not only from me, but from Parker<br />
and Carly as well.<br />
Much Love,<br />
