    11 a.m. Holy Eucharist

    Zion National Park

  • • 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 Chapter House Dining Room after the 11 a.m. service.

    Welcome to this sacred place where we are reimagining church with courage, joy and wonder.

    Every year we choose a theme to help us explore new ideas and to listen for God’s calling. In 2019 our theme is the Year of the Body. Our body is the way we meet the world and the world meets us. Although we share much that is in common, our bodies are each unique and particular, and every body is worthy of respect. We believe that God participated in the world through a body.

    So we will be examining how we care for bodies, how we treat different kinds of bodies and how we are part of the earth’s body. This year we will dance together, eat together and study

    what it means for Christians to understand the church as the Body of Christ.

    We invite you to be part of this body, this joyful community, even if your visit is short. How is God inviting you to be more truly alive today? What are our bodies saying to us?

    May God bless you in this holy place!

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

    Welcome to Grace Cathedral

    about today’s musicThis month, the Choir of Men and Boys embarks on a brief survey of medieval music. Although this period includes the development of Gregorian chant, it also includes the earliest known forms of polyphony. One of the anthems, Beata viscera, is English and is from the late 13th century. Another anthem, Jesu Cristes Milde Moder, is also from around this time and is an example of two part polyphony. This music often sounds strange to modern ears because it predates tonal harmony. It has a piquant quality that identifies it.

    The Forum with Mary Roach Sunday, March 17 • 9:30 a.m. • Gresham Hall

    The author of six New York Times bestsellers shares her fascinating perspectives on death, sex, eating, spaceflight, and war in Grace Cathedral’s Year of the Body. Alonzo King: Our new Artist in Residence We are pleased to announce internationally celebrated choreographer Alonzo King as our Artist in Residence for 2019. This year at Grace is the “Year of the Body.” During the year, our community will consider a number of issues around the human body including: the imperative for all human bodies to be treated with respect, the wonder of our corporeal selves, and the spiritual elements of dance. As the Artist in Residence, King will create a new work responding to the cathedral’s theme that will be performed at Grace in February 2020. He will speak at the cathedral’s conversation series, The Forum, on Sunday, May 12. Alonzo King LINES Ballet will hold workshops to engage the cathedral’s many constituencies, including congregants, the yoga community, the Cathedral School for Boys, and The Community Preschool.

    Opening Acclamation Presider Blessed be the God of our salvation. People Who bears our burdens and forgives our sins. The Confession of Sin The people remain standing.

    Presider 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.

    Kyrie Eleison Guillaume Dufay Choir Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

    The presider stands and pronounces God’s forgiveness.

    The Collect of the Day The people stand. Presider May God be with you. People And also with you. Let us pray.

    O God, whose glory it is always to have mercy: Be gracious to all who have gone astray from your ways, and bring us again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace your unchangeable truth, through Jesus Christ your Son; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

    The Word of God The First Reading The people sit. Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18 Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. Psalm 27 The people remain seated. The choir sings the antiphon, then all repeat. chant: Herbert Howells

    Antiphon The Lord is my light and my sal - va - tion. Choir The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? *

    the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid? When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh, *

    it was they, my foes and my adversaries, who stumbled and fell. Though an army should encamp against me, *

    yet my heart shall not be afraid; And though war should rise up against me, *

    yet will I put my trust in him. The Lord is my light and my salvation. One thing have I asked of the Lord; one thing I seek; *

    that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life; To behold the fair beauty of the Lord *

    x and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he shall keep me safe in his shelter; *

    he shall hide me in the secrecy of his dwelling and set me high upon a rock.

    Therefore I will offer in his dwelling an oblation with sounds of great gladness; * I will sing and make music to the Lord.

    The Lord is my light and my salvation.The Second Reading Philippians 3:17—4:1 Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.

    Hymn 590 Sung by all, standing. Charterhouse

    text: Bradford Gray Webster (1898-1991), alt.; music: David Evans (1874-1948)

    The Holy Gospel Luke 13:31-35 Before the Gospel The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ according to Luke. All Glory to you, Lord Christ. After the Gospel The Gospel of the Lord. All Praise to you, Lord Christ.The Sermon The people sit. The Very Rev. Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young A period of silence may follow. Dean

    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.

    Anthem Sung in Latin. Anon. English, late 13th C. Choir Blessed flesh of the Virgin Mary, at whose breast the king of eminent name,

    concealing, under altered guise, the force of divine nature, has sealed a pact of God and Man. O astonishing novelty and unaccustomed joy of a mother still pure after childbirth. Vision does not endure to behold in its radiance the sun, unconcealed, as he rises forth, pure. Let the wholly enclosed womb of the mother behold from the side as it is reflected. O astonishing novelty and unaccustomed joy of a mother still pure after childbirth. -

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

    The Readings

    Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18

    The word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.” But Abram said, “O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” And Abram said, “You have given me no offspring, and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir.” But the word of the Lord came to him, “This man shall not be your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be your heir.” He brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” And he believed the Lord; and the Lord reckoned it to him as righteousness. Then he said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess.” But he said, “O Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it?” He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” He brought him all these and cut them in two, laying each half over against the other; but he did not cut the birds in two. And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away. As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a deep and terrifying darkness descended upon him. When the sun had gone down and it was dark, a smoking fire pot and a f laming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates.”

    Philippians 3:17—4:1

    Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them, and now I tell you even with tears. Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.

    Luke 13:31-35

    Some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” He said to them, “Go and tell that fox for me, ‘Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work. Yet today, tomorrow, and the next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem.’ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
