The Lessons
1 Kings 17:8-16, (17-24)
Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, ‘Go now to Zarephath,
which belongs to Sidon, and live there; for I have commanded a widow
there to feed you.’ So he set out and went to Zarephath. When he came
to the gate of the town, a widow was there gathering sticks; he called to
her and said, ‘Bring me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink.’ As
she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, ‘Bring me a morsel of
bread in your hand.’ But she said, ‘As the Lord your God lives, I have
nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a jug; I
am now gathering a couple of sticks, so that I may go home and prepare
it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.’ Elijah said to her,
‘Do not be afraid; go and do as you have said; but first make me a little
cake of it and bring it to me, and afterwards make something for yourself
and your son. For thus says the Lord the God of Israel: The jar of meal
will not be emptied and the jug of oil will not fail until the day that the
Lord sends rain on the earth.’ She went and did as Elijah said, so that she
as well as he and her household ate for many days. The jar of meal was
not emptied, neither did the jug of oil fail, according to the word of the
Lord that he spoke by Elijah.
After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill;
his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him. She then
said to Elijah, ‘What have you against me, O man of God? You have
come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to cause the death of
my son!’ But he said to her, ‘Give me your son.’ He took him from her
bosom, carried him up into the upper chamber where he was lodging,
and laid him on his own bed. He cried out to the Lord, ‘O Lord my God,
have you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom I am
staying, by killing her son?’ Then he stretched himself upon the child
three times, and cried out to the Lord, ‘O Lord my God, let this child’s
life come into him again.’ The Lord listened to the voice of Elijah; the
life of the child came into him again, and he revived. Elijah took the
3
child, brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and
gave him to his mother; then Elijah said, ‘See, your son is alive.’ So the
woman said to Elijah, ‘Now I know that you are a man of God, and that
the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.’
Leader: The Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
Psalm 146
1 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God all my life long.
3 Do not put your trust in princes,
in mortals, in whom there is no help.
4 When their breath departs, they return to the earth;
on that very day their plans perish.
5 Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord their God,
6 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps faith for ever;
7 who executes justice for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
8 the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the strangers;
he upholds the orphan and the widow,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
10 The Lord will reign for ever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Praise the Lord!
Galatians 1:11-24
For I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel that was
proclaimed by me is not of human origin; for I did not receive it from a
4
human source, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation
of Jesus Christ.
You have heard, no doubt, of my earlier life in Judaism. I was violently
persecuting the church of God and was trying to destroy it. I advanced in
Judaism beyond many among my people of the same age, for I was far
more zealous for the traditions of my ancestors. But when God, who had
set me apart before I was born and called me through his grace, was
pleased to reveal his Son to me, so that I might proclaim him among the
Gentiles, I did not confer with any human being, nor did I go up to
Jerusalem to those who were already apostles before me, but I went
away at once into Arabia, and afterwards I returned to Damascus.
Then after three years I did go up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and
stayed with him for fifteen days; but I did not see any other apostle
except James the Lord’s brother. In what I am writing to you, before
God, I do not lie! Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia, and I
was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea that are in Christ;
they only heard it said, ‘The one who formerly was persecuting us is now
proclaiming the faith he once tried to destroy.’ And they glorified God
because of me.
Leader: The Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

The Gospel
Priest: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.
People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Luke 7:11-17
Soon afterwards he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a
large crowd went with him. As he approached the gate of the town, a
man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son,
and she was a widow; and with her was a large crowd from the town.
When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, ‘Do
not weep.’ Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers
stood still. And he said, ‘Young man, I say to you, rise!’ The dead man
sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. Fear seized
5
all of them; and they glorified God, saying, ‘A great prophet has risen
among us!’ and ‘God has looked favourably on his people!’ This word
about him spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding country.
Priest: The Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise to you, Lord Christ.
The Sermon:
The Reverend Mitchell Lindeman
The Nicene Creed
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.

Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor
All: 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.

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 Great Thanksgiving
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 God thanks and praise.
Priest: It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to
give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. In
fulfillment of his true promise, the Holy Spirit came down [on this day]
from heaven, lighting upon the disciples, to teach them and to lead them
into all truth; uniting peoples of many tongues in the confession of one
faith, and giving to your Church the power to serve you as a royal
priesthood, and to preach the Gospel to all nations. 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.
All Sing:
Sanctus S130
Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of power and might,
Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full, full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest.
We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you
have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your
people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the
Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to
be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the
world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to
stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out
of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.
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."
9
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, according to his command, O Father,
Priest and People:
We remember his death,
We proclaim his resurrection,
We await his coming in glory;
And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of
all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine. We
pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that
they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the
new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be
acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the
fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring
us to that heavenly country where, with all your saints, we may enter the
everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author
of our salvation.
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.
Priest: And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
Priest 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, forever and ever. Amen.
(The priest breaks the consecrated bread.)
Priest: Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.
People: Therefore let us keep the Feast.
10
All Sing:
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world.
Have mercy on us, Lamb of God.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world.
Have mercy on us, Lamb of God.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world.
Have mercy on us, grant us peace.
Priest: 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.
(If you desire a closer walk with God, please come to the altar rail for
Communion or a Blessing. Gluten free communion wafers are available. Just
ask the priest.)
Communion
(In the Episcopal Church, receiving the bread or wine is considered full
communion. If you wish to receive the consecrated wine, you may drink directly
from one of the chalices. Or you may return your bread to the chalice bearer
who will dip the bread into the wine for you and return it to your hand.)

Priest: 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.

About Trinity Church
The church was founded in 1883, constructed in 1909 under
auspices of the noted architect Norman Isham. Most of our members live
near by, but we are also a destination parish for those farther away. We
participate in village activities, holding community worship services
during Gaspee Days and Christmas in Pawtuxet, hosting breakfast on
Gaspee Parade Day and dinners through the year.
Trinity Church is committed to helping its neighbors through
outreach. We collect food, clothing and household goods for distribution
to people in need through local schools, food pantries, and agencies.
Our buildings are used by many community organizations for
their meetings and events.
