The Gathering Hymn
“For the Beauty of the Earth”
In the course of many
revisions, the original
Eucharistic emphasis of
this text has shifted to
a hymn of thanksgiving for a wide range of
human experience, with
a Christological summation. It is set here to the
tune that is customary
in North America.
The Acclamation
Presider
Blessed be God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
People
And blessed be God’s Kingdom, now and forever. Amen.
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.

Today’s Readings:
Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession
of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your
divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring
us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy
Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
All sit.
The First Lesson: Genesis 1:1-2:4a
In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void
and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the
waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw that the light
was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the
darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
And God said, “Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters
from the waters.” So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the
dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. God called the dome Sky.
And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let
the dry land appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were
gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let the
earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees of every kind on earth that
bear fruit with the seed in it.” And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw
that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
And God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night;
and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, and let them be lights in
the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. God made the two great
lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.
God set them in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth, to rule over the day and
over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
And God said, “Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above
the earth across the dome of the sky.” So God created the great sea monsters and every living
creature that moves, of every kind, with which the waters swarm, and every winged bird
of every kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and
multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” And there was
evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.” And it was so. God made the wild
animals of the earth of every kind, and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps
upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good.

Though the word
trinity is not found in
the scriptures, today’s
second reading includes
the apostolic greeting that begins some
liturgies: “The grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
the love of God, and
the communion of the
Holy Spirit be with you
all.” In the gospel Jesus
sends his disciples forth
to baptize in the name of
the Father, and the Son,
and the Holy Spirit.
More than a doctrine,
the Trinity expresses the
heart of our faith: we
have experienced the
God of creation made
known in Jesus Christ
and with us always
through the Holy Spirit.
We celebrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity
in word and sacrament,
as we profess the creed,
and as we are sent into
the world to bear witness to our faith.
This first creation story
reached its current form
during the crisis of the
Babylonian exile of the
people of Israel. God,
not their captors’ god
Marduk, was responsible for their existence.
God created women
and men as rulers over
creation, to preserve
and protect it. God also
rested on the seventh
day, hallowing that day
forever as the Sabbath.
Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle,
and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon
the earth.”
So God created humankind in his image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and
subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over
every living thing that moves upon the earth.” God said, “See, I have given you every plant
yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you
shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to
everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every
green plant for food.” And it was so. God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it
was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude. And on the seventh
day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the
work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God
rested from all the work that he had done in creation.
These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created.

Psalm 8
Congregation and choir, seated.
Psalm 8 is a grand
hymn of praise for the
glory and grandeur of
God’s creation. The
psalm expresses wonder
at God’s regard for
human beings and the
authority and freedom
God gives them. While
some psalms lament
the fleeting nature and
seeming insignificance
of human life, this psalm
affirms the value of
human life and the place
of the human creature in
the created order.
1
O LORD our Governor, *
how exalted is your Name in all the world!
2
Out of the mouths of infants and children *
your majesty is praised above the heavens.
3
You have set up a stronghold against your adversaries, *
to quell the enemy and the avenger.
4
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, *
the moon and the stars you have set in their courses,
5
What is man that you should be mindful of him? *
the son of man that you should seek him out?
†
4
Psalm continues on next page.
6
You have made him but little lower than the angels; *
you adorn him with glory and honor;
7
You give him mastery over the works of your hands; *
you put all things under his feet:
8
All sheep and oxen, *
even the wild beasts of the field,
9
The birds of the air, the fish of the sea, *
and whatsoever walks in the paths of the sea.
10
O LORD our Governor, *
how exalted is your Name in all the world!
The Second Lesson: 2 Corinthians 13:11-13
Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one
another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with
a holy kiss. All the saints greet you.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be
with all of you.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.
The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to
them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make
disciples 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.”

this text brings together
six of the eight four-line
stanzas in an 18th-century hymn written for
children and originally
headed “Praise for
Creation and Providence.” The anonymous
German tune provides a
fitting sense of breadth
and wonder.
After his resurrection,
Jesus summons his
remaining disciples and
commissions them to
baptize and teach all
nations in the name of
Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.
All stand.
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.
Prayers of the People
Called together in the Spirit’s embrace, let us pray for the mending of God’s world.
A brief silence.
Holy Mystery, you call us to be your church. Keep calling your people to faithful reform.
Give us vision and courage to share your new life with all the world. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Joyful Creator, you made a wondrous universe and call us to be partners in its care. Inspire
delight in the furry, scaly, watery, breezy, sandy stuff you love. Inspire us to bring about creation’s healing. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.

Merciful God, you love our enemies and bless all people. Make our hearts yearn to be joyful
and share your generosity. Help leaders and citizens use political power in service of your
peace. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Compassionate One, you bring about the fullness of life. When sorrow wounds faith, send
wise ones to comfort and encourage those who suffer. Heal your people in body, mind, and
spirit, especially for Bridgette, Linda, Emily, Sherri, Carter, Allison, Ervin, Tom, Sarah, Graham, Laureen, Whitney, Gin, Eileen, Al, Patsy, Karen, Tiffany, Ayumi, Edith, Vann, Charlie,
John, Betty, Norma, Dan, Savannah, Christine, Maggie, Porter, Bradley, Liz, Susan, Bob and

hear our prayer.
Here other intercessions may be offered.
Holy God, you bring life out of death at every turn. We give you thanks for all the saints and
for dear ones whom we mourn. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Clergy
All these things, and whatever else you see that we need, we entrust to your
care through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Confession and Absolution
Clergy
Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.
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 love 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.
Priest
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

The peace of the Lord be always with you.

“The Heavens are Telling”
St. Timothy’s Summer Choir
Ludwig van Beethoven
The heavens are telling to Lord’s endless glory, Through all the earth his praise is
found. The seas re-echo the marvelous story: Let all repeat that glorious sound!
The starry hosts He doth order and number, He fills the morning’s golden springs,
He wakes the sun from his night-curtain’d slumber; Let all adore the King of kings!
The heav’ns are His and the earth knows His favor, His pow’r in all things thou dost
see; The Lord of hosts who for ever and ever Thy God and Father still shall be. He
is thy Maker whose love shall not waver, A God of wisdom, ever kind; Praise Him
and love Him with all thy endeavor, In Him salvation shalt thou find! (paraphrase
of Psalm 19)

Sanctus
setting by Robert Powell
The people stand or kneel.
Priest
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 before he died for us, 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 all for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever
you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”
Therefore according to his command, O Father,
All
Priest
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
Blessed Mary, Blessed John and 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.
People
Amen.

Our Father, who art 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.
