• If you are new to Grace Cathedral, please introduce yourself and fill out a welcome card so we can be in touch with you. We’re glad you’re here!

• Join us for coffee and conversation across the plaza in the Chapter House Library after the 8:30 a.m. service or in the Dining Room after the 11 a.m. service.

Welcome to this sacred house of prayer for all people. Those who built this place and care for it love tradition and feel passionate about engaging with what is new. If you look closely you will find images of scientists, reformers, Jewish rabbis and Roman Catholic popes, political leaders, saints, and even an astronaut.We invite you to be part of this joyful community even if your visit is short. You might ask yourself two questions: “What do I need to receive? What do I have to give?” We would be delighted to hear about your explorations. May God bless you on your journey!

– The Very Rev. Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean of Grace Cathedral

Welcome to Grace Cathedral

highlights

about today’s readings2 Samuel 6:1-5, 12b-19; Psalm 24; Ephesians 1:3-14; Mark 6:14-29

Reading texts can be found at the end of the service leaflet.

Our readings today offer us very different notions of what a ruler is supposed to look like and do. We see David showing

his unrestrained joy before God, dancing “with all his might” before the ark. He is surrounded on all sides by shouting and

singing, and joins in with no restraint or stress. He shares the abundance he feels and the wealth he controls, in good things

to eat and to do for everyone.

Herod, with all the machinery of the Roman state at his back, should feel more secure, less vulnerable than the former

shepherd boy, but his actions are narrowed by fear and worry about how he appears to others. He “must” kill someone whose

holiness he is dimly, persistently aware of — because of what others might think of him and his authority if he reneges on a

foolish after-dinner pledge.

Why do some of the powerful and the privileged seem to fear so much? None of us are rulers on this scale, but where do our

own love of comforts and control keep us from abandoning ourselves to full-throated celebration and welcome? Where are

we tempted to see someone as too uncomfortable, too problematic to be fully human and deserving of life and freedom? Are

we willing to take on the foolishness of being at the head of the parade, dancing and singing with all our might?

Carol James has been part of the cathedral community for over a decade. She has served as a co-mentor in the Education for

Ministry program. She currently leads the evening prayer providers in the Jail Ministry and is a cathedral staff member.

Choir, then all Seek the Lord, seek the Lord, O seek the Lord. Choir The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, *

the world and all who dwell therein. For it is he who founded it upon the seas *

and made it firm upon the rivers of the deep. “Who can ascend the hill of the Lord? *

and who can stand in his holy place?” “Those who have clean hands and a pure heart, *

who have not pledged themselves to falsehood, nor sworn by what is a fraud.

They shall receive a blessing from the Lord * and a just reward from the God of their salvation.”

Such is the generation of those who seek him, * of those who seek your face, O God of Jacob.

All Seek the Lord, seek the Lord, O seek the Lord. Lift up your heads, O gates; lift them high, O everlasting doors; *

and the King of glory shall come in. “Who is this King of glory?” *

“The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle.” Lift up your heads, O gates;lift them high, O everlasting doors; *

The Nicene Creed The people stand. All 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.

The Prayers of the People

After each petition Lord, hear our prayer. The presider adds a concluding collect

Presider Holy God: Open our minds that we may learn the truth about our selves. Open our hearts that we may perceive the truth of others. Open our hands that we may care for this great creation. Open our spirits that we may become truly yours: alert, questioning, curious, faithful, Servants of your grace.

All Amen..The Confession of Sin The people may kneel.

Deacon Let us confess our sins to God All God of all mercy,

we confess that we have sinned against you, opposing your will in our lives.

We have denied your goodness in each other, in ourselves, and in the world you have created.

We repent of the evil that enslaves us, the evil we have done, and the evil done on our behalf.

Forgive, restore, and strengthen us through our Savior Jesus Christ, that we may abide in your love and serve only your will. Amen. The presider pronounces God’s absolution.

The Peace The people stand.

Presider The peace of Christ be always with you. All And also with you. All may greet each other in the name of Christ.

Welcome The Holy Communion

Offertory Sentence An offering will be received for the ministries of Grace Cathedral. Thank you for your generosity.

Anthem Traditional, arr. Ken Clark

Choir O when shall I see Jesus and reign with him above? And shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning. And from the flowing fountain drink everlasting love? And shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning. Shout O Glory! For I shall mount above the skies when I hear the trumpet sound in that morning. Through grace I feel determined to conquer, though I die, and shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning. And then away to Jesus on wings of love I’ll fly, and shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning. Shout O Glory!... When e’er you meet with troubles and trials on your way, you will hear the trumpet sound in that morning. Then cast your care on Jesus and don’t forget to pray, and you’ll hear the trumpet sound in that morning. Shout O Glory!... Gird on the Gospel armor of faith and hope and love, and you’ll hear the trumpet sound in that morning. And when your combat’s ended He will carry you above, and you’ll hear the trumpet sound in that morning. Shout O Glory!... –John Leland

The people stand as representatives of the congregation bring the people’s offerings of bread, wine, and money to be placed on the Altar.

People

Invitation to Communion

The presider invites the people to come forward for Communion. All who seek God and are drawn to Christ are welcome at God’s table.

Gluten-free Communion wafers are available at the north altar rail; please ask the Communion minister. For a variety of reasons, it is our custom to consume the Bread and sip the Wine directly from the

cup. You are invited to guide the cup with your hands. If you choose not to receive either the Bread or the Wine, simply cross your arms over your chest and respond “A men” when it is presented.

Ministers are available for shared prayer for healing in the AIDS Interfaith Chapel at the rear of the cathedral.

Agnus Dei Near

Motet Ralph Vaughan Williams

Choir The great forerunner of the morn, the herald of the Word, is born; and faithful hearts shall never fail with thanks and praise his light to hail. With heavenly message Gabriel came, that John should be that herald’s name, and with prophetic utterance told his actions great and manifold. His mighty deeds exalt his fame to greater than a prophet’s name. Of woman-born shall never be a greater prophet than was he. To God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit, Three in One, praise, honour, might, and glory be from age to age eternally. —The Venerable Bede; tr. John Mason Neale (1818-1866, alt.)

Postcommunion Prayer After all have received Communion, the people stand.

Presider Let us pray. All Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image

and nourishing us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of Christ’s Body and Blood. Now send us forth a people, forgiven, healed, renewed; that we may proclaim your love to the world and continue in the risen life of Christ our Savior. Amen.

The Readings

2 Samuel 6:1-5, 12b-19

David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. David and all the people with him set out

and went from Baale-judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the Lord of hosts who is enthroned on the cherubim. They carried the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were driving the new cart with the ark of God; and Ahio went in front of the ark. David and all the house of Israel were dancing before the Lord with all their might, with songs and lyres and harps and tambourines and castanets and cymbals. It was told King David, “The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the city of David with rejoicing; and when those who bore the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling. David danced before the Lord with all his might; David was girded with a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. As the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal daughter of Saul looked out of the window, and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart. They brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place, inside the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and offerings of well-being before the Lord. When David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the offerings of well-being, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts, and distributed food among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both men and women, to each a cake of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins. Then all the people went back to their homes.

Ephesians 1:3-14

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing

in the heavenly places, just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love. He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight he has made known to us the mystery of his will,

according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; this is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God’s own people, to the praise of his glory.

Mark 6:14-29

King Herod heard of the deeds of power, for Jesus’ name had become known. Some were saying, “John the baptizer

has been raised from the dead; and for this reason these powers are at work in him.” But others said, “It is Elijah.” And others said, “It is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.” For Herod himself had sent men who arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because Herod had married her. For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” And Herodias had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not, for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed; and yet he liked to listen to him. But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and for the leaders of Galilee. When his daughter Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it.” And he solemnly swore to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom.” She went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?” She replied, “The head of John the baptizer.” Immediately she rushed back to the king and requested, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” The king was deeply grieved; yet out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he did not want to refuse her. Immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard with orders to bring John’s head. He went and beheaded him in the prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl. Then the girl gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

Waterfront: Art InstallationCathedral

Our 2018 Artist in Residence Sukey Bryan marks National Ocean Month with a series of

five panels that is hanging in the north transept in celebration of the power and beauty of tidal forces. Bryan’s work centers on nature and the reality of climate change to give us a new understanding of our relationship to nature.

Regarding her most recent artwork, Bryan writes, “Waterfront, a five-panel oil painting, explores the beauty and simultaneous power and delicacy of the ocean. This painting brings the viewer in close as the water is shaped and blown apart by the physics of tidal movement, wind and shoreline. With intense environmental pressures on ocean life and rising global sea levels, our dependence and responsibility for care of the oceans and pushing back temperature rise is a front worth joining.”
