THE LITURGY OF THE WORDAfter each reading, the lector says: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. All respond Thanks be to God. First Reading Jeremiah 23:1-6Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the Lord. Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who shepherd my people: It is you who have scattered my flock, and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. So I will attend to you for your evil doings, says the Lord. Then I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the lands where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply. I will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them, and they shall not fear any longer, or be dismayed, nor shall any be missing, says the Lord.The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. And this is the name by which he will be called: “The Lord is our righteousness.”

Collect of the DayPresider The Lord be with you.Assembly And also with you.Presider Let us pray.

Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your well-beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The Song of Zechariah (Luke 1:68-79)

Cantor Blessed be the Lord, the God of / Israel;* he has come to his peo-/ ple and set them free.Assembly He has raised up for us a mighty / savior,* born of the house of his / servant David.Cantor Through his holy prophets he promised of old, that he would save us from our / enemies,* from the hands of / all who hate us.Assembly He promised to show mercy to our / fathers* and to remember his / holy covenant.Cantor This was the oath he swore to our father / Abraham,* to set us free from the hands / of our enemies,Assembly Free to worship him with-/ out fear,* holy and righteous in his sight all the / days of our life.Cantor You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the / Most High,* for you will go before the Lord / to prepare his way,Assembly To give his people knowledge of sal-/ vation* by the for-/ giveness of their sins. Cantor In the tender compassion of our / God* the dawn from on high shall / break upon us,Assembly To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of / death,* and to guide our feet in-/ to the way of peace.

After a brief silence the presider stands; all rise as able for the proclamation of the Gospel. Gospel Acclamation Dent Davidson The choir sings the alleluia; all repeat. The choir sings the verse; all repeat the alleluia.

The Holy Gospel Luke 23:33-43 Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. Assembly Glory to you, Lord Christ. When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots to divide his clothing. The people stood by, watching Jesus on the cross; but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!” The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine, and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” There was also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.” One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding him and saying, “Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” He replied, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. Assembly Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Sermon Canon Daugherty

All rise as able.Nicene Creed The Book of Common Prayer page 358

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.

Choir verse: “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” “Truly, I tell you: Today you will be with me in Paradise.”

Dean ThomasonCanon MartinCanon DaughertyCanon Steedman SanbornThe Reverend Nancy RossBishop RickelThe Reverend Earl GroutThe Reverend Richard C. WeylsThe Reverend Patricia TaylorThe Reverend Mike Jackson

Second Reading Colossians 1:11-20May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisi-ble God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers-- all things have been created through him and for him. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.

Confession Deacon Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. You are invited to stand or kneel for the confession. Deacon Most merciful God, All 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.The presider pronounces God’s forgiveness of our sins. All respond Amen.

The Peace Presider The peace of the Lord be always with you. Assembly And also with you.All greet one another in the name of the Lord.

THE LITURGY OF THE TABLEAn offering of money is received. Everyone worshipping this morning is invited to make an offering as an expression of gratitude for God’s generosity. Many support St. Mark’s through pledged offerings made by credit card or via mail. Together our gifts make possible this community of welcome, reconciliation and service. Offertory Anthem The Crown of Thorns Words: Alexai Plechtchéev, tr. Geoffrey Dearmer;

Music: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)

When Jesus Christ was yet a child He had a garden small and wild, Wherein he cherished roses fair, And wove them into garlands there.

Now once, as summertime drew nigh, There came a troop of children by, And seeing roses on the tree, With shouts they plucked them merrily.

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 Assembly Intercessor God, in your mercy, Assembly hear our prayer.The presider concludes the prayers with a collect. All respond Amen.

All rise as able as the bread, wine and money we offer to God are brought forward and presented at the altar table.

“Do you bind roses in your hair?” They cried, in scorn, to Jesus there. The boy said humbly: “Take, I pray, All but the naked thorns away.”

Then of the thorns they made a crown, And with rough fingers pressed it down, Till on his forehead fair and young Red drops of blood like roses sprung.

The Great Thanksgiving Eucharistic Prayer A

PresiderIt is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. For you are the source of light and life; you made us in your image, and called us to new life in Jesus Christ our Lord. 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:Sanctus and Benedictus Rutter

Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself; and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all. He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world. 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.” After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen.

The bread is broken and the bread and wine are prepared for sharing.Fraction Anthem Be known to us, Lord Jesus (The Hymnal 1982 #S171)

Invitation to CommunionThe presider invites us to the meal: The gifts of God for the people of God. All seeking God are welcome at Christ’s Table. The assembly gathers around the liturgical platform, guided by the ushers. If you need communion brought to your seat, please let an usher or verger know.Hold out your hand to receive the bread and then eat. Guide the chalice of wine to your mouth and then drink. Or you may leave the bread in your hand for the chalice bearer to dip it in the wine and feed you. To receive a blessing instead of communion, simply cross your arms over your chest.

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 we proclaim the mystery of faith: All Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom. All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ. 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.

Each of them was a mystic, living a life of prayer and contemplation. They were also women of action; theologians, philosophers, and in Hildegard’s case, a composer. Each has been declared a Doctor of the Church and the influence of their work was significant. This series will explore mysticism as something for which you too can strive.

Seafarers Love "National Geographic" Copies of old National Geographic magazines brighten the days and lives of Seafarers. The pictures and stories offer diversion and sometimes a glimpse of home or familiar places. Above all, they bring color and diversity to the confining spaces of the ship and long monotonous days at sea. Please bring old copies of National Geographic and leave them at the Welcome Table. Deacon Earl will taken them to the Seafarers' Center for ship visits. Contact him at egrout@saintmarks.org with any questions. Seafarers from around the world thank you.

Call for Artists: Stations of the CrossSaint Mark’s Cathedral invites proposals from artists to create their interpretations of the fourteen Stations of the Cross. The history of the stations has tended toward literal interpretations, but ultimately their purpose is to invite reflection and contemplation not only of Jesus’ passion and death, but also the universality of these themes. Thus, the artwork does not need to adhere to a particular cultural or religious framework. We invite artists to use the fourteen scenes as a starting point for a broader meditation on hu-man relationships, injustice, suffering, and the mystery of death. Applications are due November 28, 2016. Read more at saintmarks.org/stationsofthecross

You will be transported to another time by a torchlight procession of our children accompanied by Celtic instrumentalists and watch as the scenes of Jesus' birth come alive on the altar platform.

Slight Change to the 9 a.m. Eucharist beginning Nov. 27As many of you know, we’ve struggled for years to preserve the integrity of Church School time since the 9 a.m. service often runs a bit after 10 a.m. Children, teachers and parents have expressed frustration with this, and short of changing the service times across Sunday mornings, it is challeng-ing to see how we can reclaim that time. After consulting with staff and worship leaders, we’ve decided to make slight changes to the 9am service, beginning the First Sunday of Advent (Nov. 27), and reassessing at the end of Lent 2017,

giving us a four-month trial at this. Here’s the change: 8:55 a.m. Welcome, Announcements, Birthday and Anni-versary blessings, Opening Versicle and Response 9:00 a.m. ProcessionThe rest of the service will flow as usual, except that the Exchange of the Peace will be followed directly by the Of-fertory. We welcome feedback as we try this, and appreciate your support as we strive to make all the moving parts of Sunday function well together.

Medical Equipment ResourcesSaint Mark’s has established a medical equipment resource center that currently consists of wheel chairs, walkers, crutch, a cane, and knee and wrist brace. The medical equip-ment is available for checkout through the office. The equip-ment is currently housed in the boiler room near the Office of Cathedral and can be checked out by contacting the office staff during their usual office hours (9:00 – 4:30) Monday through Friday. Please check with Mary Segall about avail-ability and details for checking out equipment. If you have questions or would like to make a donation, please contact Mary Segall at 206-390-7854, email mesegall@yahoo.com or contact Canon Nancee Martin nmartin@saintmarks.org.

Syrian refugee family updateThis Monday, a Syrian family of six arrived at SeaTac air-port. Following a grueling flight itinerary, mom, dad, their three young sons and their sweet two-year old little girl made were greeted by the director and their caseworker from the Episcopal Refugee Relief Organization (RRO) and two Saint Mark’s parishoners. For the time being, the family is at the home of parishioner Kathy Sodergren. Three beau-tiful handmade quilts were laid upon the childrens' beds, hand-sewn for them by the Saint Mark’s quilting ministry. A team of Saint Mark’s volunteers made a culturally appro-priate, hot meal for the family. This family of six, originally from Damascus, comes from one of the most uniquely terrifying, violent and destructive geopolitical conflicts in the world. We don’t know their story yet. For now, they are safe here, and we want them to stay that way. Their path forward as non-English speaking refugees is not going to be easy. State resources for refugees are very limited and rents are very high. The father will be expected to get a job almost immediately and learn English to provide for his family, and the three boys will start school soon. Saint Mark’s parishio-ners have generously donated everything the family needs for their new apartment. If you have not gotten a chance to make a financial donation, please visit saintmarks.org and click "Give" in the top right corner; enter your donation next to the Syrian Refugee Support field. Saint Mark’s outpouring of support demonstrates that, as a parish, we are very much concerned with the lives and well-being of refugees arriving in Seattle. If you are interested in volunteering or donating materials in good condition, please email Marla Dittloff at mdittloff@gmail.com.
