Today’s Readings Exodus 16:2-15
The people of Israel are now in the wilderness. Finding the water undrinkable, they have complained to Moses, and God has made it potable. He has tested their faith: will they accept him by trusting that he will feed and rule them? Now the Israelites grumble once again.
T
he whole congregation of the Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots and ate our fill of bread; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.” Then the LORD said to Moses, “I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and each day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day. In that way I will test them, whether they will follow my instruction or not. On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather on other days.” So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “In the evening you shall know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and in the morning you shall see the glory of the LORD, because he has heard your complaining against the LORD. For what are we, that you complain against us?” And Moses said, “When the LORD gives you meat to eat in the evening and your fill of bread in the morning, because the LORD has heard the complaining that you utter against him – what are we? Your complaining is not against us but against the LORD.” Then Moses said to Aaron, “Say to the whole congregation of the Israelites, ‘Draw near to the LORD, for he has heard your complaining.’” And as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the Israelites, they looked toward the wilderness, and the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. The LORD spoke to Moses and said, “I have heard the complaining of the Israelites; say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread; then you shall know that I am the LORD your God.’” In the evening quails came up and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. When the layer of dew lifted, there on the surface of the wilderness was a fine flaky substance, as fine as frost on the ground. When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.”
Philippians 1:21-30
Paul is in prison and realizes that he may well not live to see the second coming of Christ. He wants the Christians at Philippi to know that what has happened to him has actually helped to spread the gospel.
F
or to me, living is Christ and dying is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which I prefer. I am hard pressed between the two: my desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that
is far better; but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for you. Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in faith, so that I may share abundantly in your boasting in Christ Jesus when I come to you again. Only, live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or am absent and hear about you, I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the gospel, and are in no way intimidated by your opponents. For them this is evidence of their destruction, but of your salvation. And this is God’s doing. For he has graciously granted you the privilege not only of believing in Christ, but of suffering for him as well – since you are having the same struggle that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.
Matthew 20:1-16
Peter has asked Jesus about who has priority in the kingdom of heaven. He has suggested that there must be greater rewards for himself and the other disciples, who have left everything. Now Jesus explains what the kingdom of heaven is really like.
Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the laborers for the usual daily wage, he sent them into his vineyard. When he went out about nine o’clock, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace; and he said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ So they went. When he went out again about noon and about three o’clock, he did the same. And about five o’clock he went out and found others standing around; and he said to them, ‘Why are you standing here idle all day?’ They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard.’ When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and give them their pay, beginning with the last and then going to the first.’ When those hired about five o’clock came, each of them received the usual daily wage. Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received the usual daily wage. And when they received it, they grumbled against the landowner, saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage? Take what belongs to you and go; I choose to give to this last the same as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?’ So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

Hymns for Today’s Services 339
Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness
1. Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, leave the gloomy haunts of sadness, come into the daylight’s splendor, there with joy thy praises render unto him whose grace unbounded hath this wondrous banquet founded— high o’er all the heavens he reigneth, yet to dwell with thee he deigneth.
Schmücke dich
3. Jesus, Bread of Life, I pray thee, let me gladly here obey thee; never to my hurt invited, be thy love with love requited; from this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; through the gifts thou here dost give me, as thy guest in heaven receive me.
2. Sun, who all my life dost brighten; Light, who dost my soul enlighten; Joy, the best that any knoweth; Fount, whence all my being floweth: at thy feet I cry, my Maker, let me be a fit partaker of this blessèd food from heaven, for our good, thy glory, given.
451
All hail the power of Jesus’ Name!
1. All hail the power of Jesus’ Name! Let angels prostrate fall; bring forth the royal diadem, and crown him Lord of all!
4. Ye heirs of Israel’s chosen race, ye ransomed of the fall, hail him who saves you by his grace, and crown him Lord of all!
2. Crown him, ye martyrs of our God, who from his altar call: praise him whose way of pain ye trod, and crown him Lord of all!
5. Sinners, whose love can ne’er forget the wormwood and the gall, go, spread your trophies at his feet, and crown him Lord of all!
3. Hail him, the Heir of David’s line, whom David Lord did call, the God incarnate, Man divine, and crown him Lord of all!
6. Let every kindred, every tribe, on this terrestrial ball, to him all majesty ascribe, and crown him Lord of all!
603
When Christ was lifted from the earth
1. When Christ was lifted from the earth, his arms stretched out above through every culture, every birth, to draw an answering love.
3. Where generation, class, or race divide us to our shame, he sees not labels but a face, a person, and a name.
2. Still east and west his love extends and always, near or far, he calls and claims us as his friends and loves us as we are.
4. Thus freely loved, though fully known, may I in Christ be free to welcome and accept his own as Christ accepted me.

Ye holy angels bright
Darwall’s 148th
1. Ye holy angels bright, who wait at God’s right hand, or through the realms of light fly at your Lord’s command, assist our song, for else the theme too high doth seem for mortal tongue.
3. Ye saints, who toil below, adore your heavenly King, and onward as ye go some joyful anthem sing; take what he gives and praise him still, through good or ill, who ever lives!
2. Ye blessèd souls at rest, who ran this earthly race and now, from sin released, behold the Savior’s face, God’s praises sound, as in his sight with sweet delight ye do abound.
4. My soul, bear thou thy part, triumph in God above: and with a well-tuned heart sing thou the songs of love! Let all thy days till life shall end, whate’er he send, be filled with praise.
632
O Christ, the Word Incarnate
1. O Christ, the Word Incarnate, 2. The Church from our dear Master O Wisdom from on high, received the word divine, O Truth, unchanged, unchanging, and still that light is lifted O Light of our dark sky; o’er all the earth to shine. we praise thee for the radiance It is the chart and compass that from the scripture’s page, that o’er life’s surging sea, a lantern to our footsteps, mid mists and rocks shines on from age to age. and quicksands, still guides, O Christ, to thee.
690 1. Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but thou art mighty; hold me with thy powerful hand; bread of heaven, feed me now and evermore.
Munich 3. O make thy Church, dear Savior, a lamp of purest gold, to bear before the nations thy true light as of old; O teach thy wandering pilgrims by this their path to trace, till, clouds and darkness ended, they see thee face to face.
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah
Cwm Rhondda
3. When I tread the verge of Jordan, bid my anxious fears subside; death of death, and hell’s destruction, land me safe on Canaan’s side; songs of praises, I will ever give to thee.
2. Open now the crystal fountain, whence the healing stream doth flow; let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through; strong deliverer, be thou still my strength and shield.

The Nicene Creed
The Confession of Sin
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
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.
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.

The Lord’s Prayer 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.
The Postcommunion Prayer 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.

(said responsively by priest and congregation)
Confitemini Domino
Give thanks to the LORD and call upon his Name; * make known his deeds among the peoples. Sing to him, sing praises to him, * and speak of all his marvelous works. Glory in his holy Name; * let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Search for the LORD and his strength; * continually seek his face. Page 8 - 8:00
Remember the marvels he has done, * his wonders and the judgments of his mouth, O offspring of Abraham his servant, * O children of Jacob his chosen. He led out his people with silver and gold; * in all their tribes there was not one that stumbled. Egypt was glad of their going, * because they were afraid of them. He spread out a cloud for a covering * and a fire to give light in the night season. They asked, and quails appeared, * and he satisfied them with bread from heaven. He opened the rock, and water flowed, * so the river ran in the dry places. For God remembered his holy word * and Abraham his servant. So he led forth his people with gladness, * his chosen with shouts of joy. He gave his people the lands of the nations, * and they took the fruit of others’ toil, That they might keep his statutes * and observe his laws. Hallelujah! Please stand.

A Word from the Rector This week I opened a fortune cookie and discovered the following sound advice: Relish the transitions in your life – they will happen regardless! Let me say a huge thank you to you for your faithfulness during such a time of transition as we presently find ourselves engaged. Last Wednesday’s ‘Parish Conversation’ was a helpful next step along the road we now travel; a road that we know will take us home to our beloved Grace Church. We continue to be grateful to our generous hosts from Mount Zion AME and St. Mary’s. Without such support, this journey would be far more difficult to bear. Last week we had the sacrament of Baptism to encourage our life together as a vibrant community of faith. This Sunday at our 11:15 Eucharist, we look back and pay tribute to our ‘goodly heritage’. Today, we unveil the portrait of our Third Rector of Grace Church, the Reverend Edward Lewis Goodwin. Fr. Goodwin served as Assistant at Grace Church in 1897 and then became rector the following year. He would serve as Rector until 1899. Let me thank parishioner Page 14 - 9:00
Katherine Mengedoht for her fine work in bringing us this beautiful work by New York portrait artist Richard Williams. Fr. Goodwin’s portrait will soon join six other portraits of past rectors that hang in the Dotterer Chapel. These likenesses have been placed as a reminder of God’s faithfulness to us over several generations.
Fr. Goodwin
In this time of transition we give thanks for the graciousness of God that has brought us through many previous transitions. I believe that as we continue to embrace such transitions as gift and not burden, we will find this time one of exciting growth in parish life, and not a time to simply survive. Once again, I want to say a special word of thanks to our staff and the many volunteers who have lightened the load of many, not least of which is your Rector! Michael+

All people that on earth do dwell
Felix Mendelssohn attrib. Thomas Tallis
All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, come ye before him and rejoice. The Lord, ye know, is God indeed, without our aid he did us make; we are his flock, he doth us feed, and for his sheep he doth us take. O enter then his gates with praise, approach with joy his courts unto; praise, laud, and bless his name always, for it is seemly so to do. For why? The Lord our God is good: his mercy is for ever sure, his truth hath always firmly stood; and shall from age to age endure. Amen. Processional Hymn 451 Please see page 4.

The Communion of the People
The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians of any age to the Lord’s Table. To receive the consecrated Bread, extend your hands upward, palms crossed. When receiving the Wine, please assist the chalice as it is offered; or, having consumed the Bread, you may return to your seat. We believe Christ fully present in either element. If you are not baptized, or if you prefer not to receive the Sacrament, you may ask for a blessing. Gluten-free wafers are available at the altar rail. Please speak to a priest at the rail when you come forward for Communion.

Grace Notes Youth at Grace
Rob Donehue, Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministries
[email protected], 723-4575 Today: Crossways – Last Sunday’s special class to talk about what’s going on with the church building was a real treat. This Sunday, the Senior High group will meet in Room 205 to take a look at the gospel lesson for the day and discuss what it might mean for us. Junior High will meet in Room 207, where we will go with the plan from last week and start looking at stories from the book Genesis. EYC tonight: We will be back at the church this evening from 5:007:00 p.m. for games, dinner, and a discussion. We’ll start out in Hanahan Hall for some games and community building exercises. Dinner will be provided by two of our EYC parents, so you can count on a home-cooked meal! Our discussion for tonight will revolve around advertising: how it can affect us and how we can be aware of what we’re being asked to buy or believe in. SNAG next Sunday! Join us next Sunday from 5:00-7:00 p.m. for a family night with folks from Grace. We’ll have dinner for everyone and there will be a game of trivia once we’re done eating. Bring your knowledge of the mundane, arcane, and sugar cane Sunday, October 23: EYC will be helping to prepare for Grace’s celebration of the Feast of All Saints (Saturday, October 29). Our job will be to make pies that will be sold at the Feast – all proceeds from pie sales, etc. will go to benefit the Crisis Ministries Shelter. We’ll have ingredients on hand, so bring an apron and get ready to have a fun night in the kitchen that will go to help the Shelter!
Gifts of Grace
Gifts of Grace, our parish book and gift shop, has resumed its midweek hours and is open from 4:00 -6:00 p.m. Wednesdays, as well on Sundays from 8:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. Drop in and look through our new local authors section. We are always glad to hear about local authors and order your favorites. Gifts of Grace accepts all major credit cards, including American Express. It’s a convenient place to pay your church pledge by credit card. All sales are tax free and proceeds go to Saving Grace.
College Ministry
Rob Donehue, Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministries
[email protected], 723-4575 College Ministry: If you are attending the College of Charleston, the Citadel, MUSC, or any other institution of higher learning in Charleston and would like to explore your faith with peers, join Grace’s college group every Tuesday night at Yo Burrito on Wentworth Street from 7:00-8:30 p.m. We normally order a bite to eat, look at a lesson from scripture, and see where the discussion takes us. Another opportunity for college ministry is on Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:30 p.m. at Joe Pasta on King Street. The ecumenical “Journey” group meets each week at Joe Pasta, and is off to a great start! If you are interested in learning more about Grace’s college ministry, contact Rob Donehue.
Help for Memminger
Students at Memminger Elementary, our “neighborhood” school, have started another school year in a different location, but there are still many items needed by them and their teachers at their temporary location at Brentwood in North Charleston. (Their building on Beaufain Street has been demolished so a new building can be built.) The Grace/Memminger Partnership is requesting your donations of the following items: Clorox wipes; Expo markers; Lysol spray; socks; uniforms for 4-year-olds (navy blue or white collared shirts and khaki pants); composition books; individual tissue packets and boxes of tissue; basketballs; Ziplock bags in large, snack, and sandwich sizes; white and colored card stock and colored paper; hand sanitizer; baby wipes; pencils; and healthy snacks. The First Grade especially needs soil, garden tools, a rake, cracked corn to feed chickens, laying hay for chickens, and pellets for chickens. Please place your donated items in the Memminger Box, located in the Atrium at Grace Church. Thank you for your continued generosity!

Faith Matters: “Children of Abraham: Jews, Christians, and Muslims.” Grace’s Catechist, Dr. Lester Pittman, leads an examination of the beliefs and practices of Jews and Muslims, discussing similarities and differences between these two Abrahamic religions and Christianity. The goal is not only to understand Judaism and Islam, but also, through studying these other religions, to understand better our own Christian identity. Meet in the Dotterer Chapel.
In Creation Station, you will be playing a coin stacking game about Life not Being Fair.
Adult Bible Study: “The General Epistles of Peter, James, & John.” This weekly study group meets with Andy Shook in Room 109.

Please join Mrs. Foley and learn to navigate the Bible. 4th and 5th grade girls will meet in Room 209, the corner room, to discuss the Cost of Gratefulness and how life is not always fair.
Adults who would like to prepare for Confirmation or Reception in the Episcopal Church or to reaffirm their baptismal vows are invited to attend a series of Confirmation classes that will begin October 5. Led by Grace’s Catechist, Dr. Lester Pittman, the classes will meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:00 p.m. Please call Emily Guerry, Assistant to the Rector, at 723-4575 or
