The First Sunday after Pentecost: Trinity Sunday

June 7, 2020 10 a.m.

Morning Prayer Rite II

2

Whoever you are, wherever you come from, whatever joys or burdens you carry, you are welcome at Calvary Episcopal Church. And we are honored that you’ve chosen to say your prayers with us.

Calvary is an eclectic bunch of Christian people. We don’t all think the same thoughts, or dress the same way, or vote for the same candidates, or even believe all the same things about the mystery of God and what it means to be human. But, with St. Paul, we believe we need each other because of our differences, not in spite of them. God calls us out of estrangement into unity, not uniformity. A body made up of identical members can’t do much work in the world. Thumbs are so much more useful with fingers to push against, are they not?

So, I invite you to join in the life of this congregation with all that you are, in all your splendid uniqueness, maybe just for today, but maybe for the rest of your days. We are a fuller expression of Christ’s body because of your presence. And has our world ever been more needful of Christ’s reconciling, loving, and merciful body than now?

The Rev. Scott Walters Rector

I invite you to join in the life of this congregation with all that you are, in all your splendid uniqueness, maybe just for today, but maybe for the rest of your days.

Welcome to Calvary

Create an atmosphere of quiet reverence before worship. Let go of distractions and let the silence and music be gifts as we create sacred space.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

THE LESSONS

THE FIRST LESSON Genesis 1:1-2:4a In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

And God said, “Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let the earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.” And it was so.

5

The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

And God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, and let them be lights in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. God set them in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.

And God said, “Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the dome of the sky.” So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, of every kind, with which the waters swarm, and every winged bird of every kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.” And it was so. God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind, and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good.

Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”

So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude. And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation. These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created.

The Word of the Lord.People Thanks be to God.

THE SECOND LESSON 2 Corinthians 13:11-13 Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

The Word of the Lord.People Thanks be to God.

THE THIRD LESSON Matthew 28:16-20 The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing

7

them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

THE SERMON The Rev. Amber Carswell

THE APOSTLES’ CREED, standing BCP p. 96 I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth;I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

CALVARY WORKS

Outreach Ministries Wish List on AmazonMany of you have asked how to help Calvary’s neighbors who are experiencing homelessness in downtown Memphis. If you would like to help, please see the list on Amazon “Calvary Memphis Outreach” where you could have the things sent to the church: https://a.co/3AXhQGO. Whether you can buy one item or several, every little bit helps. We serve 160+ neighbors every Sunday morning and each one could have basic items with your help. Thank you!

Room in the Inn Volunteer OpportunityRITI Memphis is looking for volunteers to be Housing Navigators for our guests who are getting into permanent housing. There is online training for this program for volunteers. Contact Betty Jo Dulaney, bettyjodulaney@gmail.com, if interested.

Providing Meals for OthersThere are 30 women experiencing homelessness staying in a wonderful downtown hotel. The Hospitality Hub, Room in the Inn, Constance Abbey, the city of Memphis, and Calvary have been working together for them. You can sign up to deliver breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Contact Christine Todd, ctodd@calvarymemphis.org.

Caring for One AnotherWe know this can be a scary and anxious time and our pastoral care teams are still hard at work caring for all of us. If you or someone you know is in need of extra help, extra prayers, or just a phone call to check-in, contact the Rev. Paul McLain, pmclain@calvarymemphis.org.

Even while we are bodily apart, Calvary continues its work and ministry. Your staff is still working faithfully, and most of our overhead costs continue, even as we adjust thermostats and make every effort to save where we can. Please make your pledge or gift through Realm or on our website or by mail.

Altar Flowers and Aumbry CandleIf you would like to give Altar Flowers ($150) or the Aumbry Candle ($35) in honor or memory of someone, please contact Bookkeeper Cindy Yeager, cyeager@calvarymemphis.org. There are several openings in the coming weeks.

Text to GiveDid you know you can text to give to Calvary? Simply send calvarymemphis + the amount you want to give (i.e. calvarymemphis 25) to 73256. You can choose offering, pledge, or memorial, and you only have to set up your payment information the first time. Questions? Contact Bookkeeper Cindy Yeager, cyeager@calvarymemphis.org.
