July 17, 2016 9th Sunday After Pentecost

Leaders' Edition

Trinity by Andrei Rublev

2

Gathering In assembly, we are the body of Christ at prayer.

Perhaps the church, at its best, is “all ears.” Almighty God urges the faithful, again and again, to “listen up!”—to heed the word from above. So it was with Abraham and Sarah, with Mary and Martha, and the early church at Colossae. So it is today as we join the assembly to hear the word of God, the words of life. Gathering Hymn: “The God of Abraham Praise”i

Apostolic Greeting The grace of our risen Savior Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. And also with you. Kyrieii

Gloria

Prayer of the Day May God be with you. And also with you. Let us pray.... Eternal God, you draw near to us in Christ, and you make yourself our guest. Amid the cares of our lives, make us attentive to your presence, that we may treasure your word above all else, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.

Word Scripture, preaching, prayer -- Living Word.

After Scripture is read, we respond: Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church! Thanks be to God.

Genesis 18:1 -10a The Lord visits Abraham and Sarah to tell them that the long—awaited promise of the birth of a child will be fulfilled for them in their old age.

Psalm 15: They Who Do Justiceiii

After the Scripture is read, we respond: Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church! Thanks be to God.

Coloss ians 1:15-28 Sometimes Paul preaches with great attention to theological concepts. Here, however, Paul offers a mystical teaching, that the great mystery of God is “Christ in you.” Because Christ is present in the church, Christians share in his life, suffering, and glory.

Verses

1. Those who walk blamelessly and live their lives doing justice, who keep the truth in their heart, and slander not with their tongue!

2. Who harm not another, nor take up reproach to their neighbor, who hate the sight of the wicked, but honor the people of God!

3. Who show no condition in sharing the gifts of their treasure, who live not off the poor: They will stand firm forever!

Gospel Acclamation:

Before the gospel, the assembly responds: The Holy Gospel according to St. Luke. Glory to you, O Lord. After the gospel, the assembly responds: The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you O Christ!

Luke 10:38-42 Jesus uses his visit to two sisters as an occasion to remind disciples that an important aspect of obedience is singleminded devotion to Jesus and his word.

2. We sing of busy Martha who toiled with pot and pan while Mary sat in silence to hear the word again. Christ, keep our hearts attentive to truth that you declare and strengthen us for service when work becomes our prayer. 3. O God, for saints and servants, those named and those unknown, in whom through all the ages your light of glory shone, we offer glad thanksgiving and fervent prayer we raise that, faithful in your service our lives may sing your praise. We pray for the people of God, the creation, and those in need. Response:

Let us pray for the church, those in need, and all of God’s creation. You open the doors of your church, Lord, to all who feel distant or estranged. Give us courage to share your good news through conversation and love. Gracious God, hear our prayer. Cultivate in all people a care for the world you have made. Make us mindful of our impact on creation for the good of our neighbor and future generations. Gracious God, hear our prayer. Reconcile and bring peace to communities that suffer (especially). Raise up and strengthen leaders and organizations that promote dialogue, hospitality, and restoration. Gracious God, hear our prayer. Open our eyes to see those suffering any affliction, even ourselves. Open our lips to boldly beg relief in body or spirit for all in need (especially). Gracious God, hear our prayer.

Bless and keep safe campers, counselors, and families who experience the gift of outdoor ministry at camps this summer. Continue transforming them in Christ once they are safely home.

Eucharist Around a table with friends, the real presence of Christ

Music during the gathering of gifts: “Thee Will I Praise” (John Milton, 1585) Sung by Resmiranda Vocal Ensemble Renee Fladen-Kamm, director Thee will I praise with my whole heart, My Lord, my God, always; Even in the presence of the gods, I will advance Thy praise. Offering Prayer (Assisting Minister) God of mercy and grace, the eyes of all wait upon you, and you open your hand in blessing. Fill us with good things at your table, that we may come to the help of all in need, through Jesus Christ, our redeemer. Amen. Great Thanksgiving (Presiding Minister) May God be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to our God. Let us give thanks to our God most high. It is right to offer thanks and praise. In this eucharistic prayer, the sanctus comes at the end of the prayer. It is right to praise you, Abba God, Lord of all creation; in your love you made us for yourself. When we turned away you did not reject us, but came to meet us in your Child. You embraced us as your children

9

and welcomed us to sit and eat with you. In Christ you shared our life that we might live in him and he in us. He opened his arms of love upon the cross and made for all the perfect sacrifice for sin. On the night he was betrayed, at supper with his friends he took bread, and gave you thanks; he broke it and gave it to them, saying: Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me. Abba, we do this in remembrance of him: his body is the bread of life. At the end of supper, taking the cup of wine, he gave you thanks, and said: Drink this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins; do this in remembrance of me. Abba, we do this in remembrance of him: his blood is shed for all. As we proclaim his death and celebrate his rising in glory, send your Holy Spirit that this bread and this wine may be to us the body and blood of the risen Christ.. As we eat and drink these holy gifts make us one in Christ, our risen Lord. With your whole church throughout the world we offer you this sacrifice of praise and lift our voice to join the eternal song of heaven:

10

In this eucharistic prayer, the sanctus comes here at the end: Sanctus:

Ho - ly O God of hosts. Heav - en and earth are

high - est. Blest is the one, blest is the one who

comes in the name of our God. Ho - san - na in the

In Remembrance1 Author Frederick Buechner has said: 'In the holy flirtation with the world, God occasionally drops a handkerchief. These handkerchiefs are called saints.' We remember those who have died as well as those who have made a difference in our lives and in the life of the world.

Jul-12 Nathan Söderblom, Bishop of Uppsala, died 1931 In 1930, this Swedish theologian, ecumenist, and social activist received the Nobel Prize for peace. Söderblom (ZAY-der-blom) saw the value of the ancient worship of the church catholic and encouraged the liturgical movement. He also valued the work of liberal Protestant scholars and believed social action was a first step on the path toward a united Christianity. He organized the Universal Christian Council on Life and Work, one of the organizations that in 1948 came together to form the World Council of Churches.

Jul-17 Bartolomé de Las Casas, missionary to the Indies, died 1566 Bartolomé de Las Casas was a Spanish priest and a missionary in the Western Hemisphere. He first came to the West while serving in the military, and he was granted a large estate that included a number of indigenous slaves. When he was ordained in 1513, he granted freedom to his servants. This act characterized much of the rest of Las Casas's ministry. Throughout the Caribbean and Central America, he worked to stop the enslavement of native people, to halt the brutal treatment of women by military forces, and to promote laws that humanized the process of colonization. Jul-19 On July 19, 1848, the first Women’s Rights Convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York, sparking a women’s movement that challenged both the church and the world with the good news that in Jesus Christ, there is neither male nor female.

Welcome to the Chapel! Welcome Please stand, sit, and kneel as you are able. Bold text in the bulletin is to be read by the congregation. We have communion and all are welcome. Please use bike racks across the street from the Chapel (downstairs is not secure!). Accessible bathrooms are located downstairs (please escort chi ldren, the hall is not locked and secure). Park in the lot across the street (pay at the machines in the garage).

New to the Chapel? Pick up a copy of “Never been to a Lutheran service” at the entry for helpful tips. The service is divided into four major parts, which enact the drama of faith:

• Gathering—The Holy Spirit calls us together as the people of God.

• Story/Word—God speaks to us in scripture reading, preaching, and song.

• Meal/Eucharist—God feeds us with the presence of Jesus Christ.

• Sending—God blesses us and sends us in mission to the world.

Prayer ministers People are available to pray with you by the baptismal font at any time during the service but especially during the Eucharist (communion). Prayers may be for you or another person or situation about which you are concerned. If you wish to pray with one of the prayer ministers, please make your way to the baptismal font and a prayer minister will join you there. Anointing with oil is also available from the prayer ministers.

Notes on the Liturgy i Moses Maimonides (1135-1204), the great Hebrew scholar, drew up the thirteen articles of the Hebrew Creed, which were subsequently cast in metrical form (the “Yigdal”). After hearing Meyer Lyon (1751-1797) sing the Yigdal in the Great Synagogue (Duke’s Place, London), Thomas Olivers (1725-1799), a Methodist evangelist, prepared an English paraphrase. Rabbi Max Landsberg (1845-1928) and Unitarian minister Newton Mann (1836-1926) collaborated on the translation used here (made in 1884). The traditional Yigdal tune, “Leoni,” is named for Lyon, who transcribed it for Olivers. ii Our service music for the summer comes from the Mass for a New World by Roman Catholic composer David Haas (born 1957), first published in 2010. Born in Michigan, Haas studied music at Central Michigan University, and theology and music at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. In addition to serving in parish liturgical ministry in Michigan, Iowa, and Minnesota over the years, he also served as composer-in-residence at the St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity; and was campus minister and artist-in-residence at Benilde-St. Margaret’s High School in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, where he taught music and theology. Haas is currently the director of the Emmaus Center for Music, Prayer and Ministry, which he founded in 1995; cantor at St. Cecilia’s Parish in St. Paul; and on the campus ministry staff at Cretin-Derham Hall High School. He is known for his early collaborations with Michael Joncas and Marty Haugen. For many years, the three of them traveled together throughout the United States, presenting liturgical concerts and workshops. Haas has produced more than 45 original collections and recordings of liturgical music. His best-known works include “Blest Are They,” “You Are Mine,” and “We Are Called.” iii This setting of Psalm 15, by Roman Catholic composer David Haas (born 1957), was first published in 1989. iv In 1970, Elizabeth Platz, a graduate of the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania (LTSG) became the first woman to be ordained in the Lutheran Church in America (LCA), one of the predecessor churches of the ELCA. (She has since served as a Lutheran campus pastor at the University of Maryland for more than 40 years.) For the 10th anniversary of her ordination in 1980, the seminary commissioned its president, Herman G. Stuempfle Jr. (1923-2007), to write a hymn honoring biblical women. Stuempfle was a parish pastor for 12 years before he joined the faculty of LTSG in 1962 as professor of preaching. He later served as president of the seminary from 1976 until his retirement in 1989. The hymn was published in The Word Goes Forth (1993), where it was paired with “King’s Lynn,” a tune by Ralph Vaughan Williams. It was subsequently included in two hymnals, With One Voice (1995) and This Far By Faith (1999), paired with the tune we are singing today, “Baronita.” Doreen Potter (1925-1980) originally composed this tune in 1975 for Fred Kaan’s hymn, “Help us accept each other.” At the time, the Kaans and the Potters were both living in Geneva, Switzerland, where Potter’s husband, Philip Potter, was the general secretary of the World Council of Churches. The daughter of a Methodist minister, Doreen Potter was born in Panama and studied music at St. Katharine’s College, Liverpool, and at Trinity College, London. A violinist, she played in a number of London orchestras in the 1950s before moving to Geneva, where she directed the choir of the Church of Scotland congregation for nine years. v This new hymn text by Susan Briehl (born 1952) draws on ancient images and insights. Stanza 3, for instance, echoes the teaching of St. Augustine 1,600 years ago: “It is your own mystery you receive; say Amen to what you are!” A graduate of Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary (PLTS), Briehl served with her husband, Martin Wells, as campus pastor at Pacific Lutheran University (Tacoma, Washington) and as executive director of Holden Village, a Lutheran retreat center in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. Currently she is an associate with the Valparaiso Project on Education and Formation of People of Faith. The tune, “Camrose,” is the work of Marty Haugen (born 1950). Haugen was the musician for the Camrose conference in 2000. He composed this tune at the conference for Briehl’s text as part of a communion setting called Beneath the Tree of Life (published in 2001). Haugen says he had in mind “a melody that evokes a Celtic folk tune, which I thought might be a good match for the Wisdom images in Briehl’s text.”

19

vi Mary E. Byrne (1880-1931) translated this ancient Irish hymn (dating from the 8th century or earlier) into English prose in 1905. Eleanor Hull (1860-1935), author of several books on Irish literature and history, rearranged the text into verse in 1912. The tune, “Slane” is a traditional Irish melody. David Evans (1874-1948) prepared this harmonization in 1927. (Slane is the name of a hill some ten miles from Tara, County Meath, Ireland, where St. Patrick is said to have defied the Druid King Loegaire by lighting an Easter Eve fire.)
