Service of Worship Trinity Sunday June 15, 2014

Eleven o’clock in the morning  Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God 



Icon of the Trinity, by Andrei Rublev, c. 1410.

Trinity Sunday is the first of the many Sundays of ordinary time that follow Pentecost and eventually lead up to Advent. Today we celebrate the doctrine of the Holy Trinity—God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We celebrate the holiness of the triune God and seek to know how that holiness should take shape among the people of God.

The congregation is asked to remain silent during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation. The Chapel welcomes families with children. If at any time during the service your child needs a place for active play, please know there is a nursery in the Chapel basement.

Prayers of the People

(The congregation responds to each petition: “Hear our prayer.”) This morning we give thanks for the summer camps and other summer programs of the University. We celebrate how they encourage and train young people in athletic and intellectual pursuits. In Durham we remember those who are homeless and the organizations that work to offer safe shelter and opportunities for home ownership.

Offertory Anthem

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing American Folk Hymn arr. Mack Wilberg (b. 1955) Come, thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, mount of thy redeeming love.

Here I raise mine Ebenezer; hither by thy help I’m come; And I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above. *Doxology lasst uns erfreuen Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below; Alleluia, Alleluia! Praise God above, ye heavenly host, Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

If you would prefer to receive grape juice, it is available upon request at the communion station near the main entrance of the Chapel, on the pulpit side. If you have a gluten allergy, those serving communion nearest to the Memorial Chapel will be ready to serve you gluten-free wafers and wine on request. You may also come forward to receive a blessing, indicated by crossing your arms over your chest. If you would like to receive individual anointing with oil and prayers for healing, ministers will be in the Memorial Chapel during communion.

Pater Noster Alejandro D. Consolacion II (b. 1980) Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum; Adveniat regnum tuum Fiat voluntas tua sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, Et dimitte nobis debita nostra,

sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem; sed libera nos a malo. Amen. Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed by thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

Why

Questions People Often Ask -

do we process into the sanctuary?

Throughout the Bible there is a tension between God’s people as a settled people, enjoying land, king, and temple, and God’s people as a pilgrim nation, experiencing exodus, wilderness, and exile. Jesus comes to a people who are in internal exile under the Romans; he encourages them to lay aside everything and to follow him. Yet, we often forget we are a pilgrim people. And so in every act of worship we have a procession, in order to embody what it means to live the life of faith as a journey. Two significant forms of companionship are to share a meal and to share a journey. Worship begins with one and ends with the other. Just as the Road to Emmaus was, in Luke, the first encounter with the risen Christ, so today breaking bread together helps us identify the God we meet on the journey.
