11:00 A.M. The Holy Eucharist The Very Reverend Steven L. Thomason, Dean and Rector of Saint Mark’s Cathedral, Presider The Reverend Canon Dr. Nancee Martin, Associate to the Rector, Preacher

Ushers are available during the liturgy as well as greeters and clergy following, should you have any questions or concerns. Mothers are most welcome to breastfeed their infants during the service.Out of respect for the liturgy we are about to celebrate, please turn off all cell phones and audible devices. Please, no photography during the liturgy.

Opening Acclamation Presider Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Assembly And blessed be God’s kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.

Collect for PurityPresider Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

When Mary first uttered the words we know as the Magnificat (“My soul magnifies the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God…”), she was not inventing anything new. She was quoting and paraphrasing the Song of Hannah, a paean to God’s justice first offered by Hannah when she gave birth to Samuel. (The story of her miraculous pregnancy is told in today’s portion of Hebrew Scriptures.) Today Hannah’s song is chanted in place of the Psalm, and our Senior Choristers will offer a setting of Mary’s renewal of that song at the Offertory. Both songs extol God’s mercy and rejoice in God’s way of upending the world’s conventional power structures: The proud are scattered, the hun-gry filled with good things, the rich sent away empty, and the merciful favored.

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 1 Samuel 1:4-20On the day when Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters; but to Hannah he gave a double portion, because he loved her, though the LORD had closed her womb. Her rival used to provoke her severely, to irritate her, because the LORD had closed her womb. So it went on year by year; as often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would not eat. Her husband Elkanah said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? Why is your heart sad? Am I not more to you than ten sons?” After they had eaten and drunk at Shiloh, Hannah rose and presented herself before the LORD. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat beside the doorpost of the temple of the LORD. She was deeply distressed and prayed to the LORD, and wept bitterly. She made this vow: “O LORD of hosts, if only you will look on the misery of your servant, and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a male child, then I will set him before you as a nazirite until the day of his death. He shall drink neither wine nor intoxicants, and no razor shall touch his head.” As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli observed her mouth. Hannah was praying silently; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard; therefore Eli thought she was drunk. So Eli said to her, “How long will you make a drunken spectacle of yourself? Put away your wine.” But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman deeply troubled; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the LORD. Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation all this time.” Then Eli answered, “Go in peace; the God of Israel grant the petition you have made to him.” And she said, “Let your servant find favor in your sight.” Then the woman went to her quarters, ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was sad no longer. They rose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD; then they went back to their house at Ramah. Elkanah knew his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her. In due time Hannah conceived and bore a son. She named him Samuel, for she said, “I have asked him of the LORD.”

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

Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Song of Hannah (sung by the choir) Plainsong, Tone 8.1Hannah prayed and said, “My heart exults in the LORD; my strength is exalted in my God. “There is no Holy One like the LORD, no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God. Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble gird on strength. Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry are fat with spoil. The barren has borne seven, but she who has many children is forlorn.

The LORD kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up. The LORD makes poor and makes rich; he brings low, he also exalts. He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and on them he has set the world. “He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness; for not by might does one prevail. The LORD! His adversaries shall be shattered; the Most High will thunder in heaven. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king, and exalt the power of his anointed.”

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.

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.

Choir verse: Beware of false prophets who produce signs to lead you astray: Be alert!

Second Reading Hebrews 10:11-25Every priest stands day after day at his service, offering again and again the same sacrifices that can never take away sins. But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, “he sat down at the right hand of God,” and since then has been waiting “until his enemies would be made a footstool for his feet.” For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds,” he also adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin. Therefore, my friends, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh), and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day ap-proaching.

The Holy Gospel Mark 13:1-8 Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark. Assembly Glory to you, Lord Christ. As Jesus came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!” Then Jesus asked him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.” When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, “Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign that all these things are about to be accomplished?” Then Jesus began to say to them, “Beware that no one leads you astray. Many will come in my name and say, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is still to come. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. This is but the beginning of the birthpangs.” Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. Assembly Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Sermon Canon Martin

5

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.

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

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 Magnificat Robert J. Powell (b. 1932)

(The text is The Song of Mary on page 50 of the Book of Common Prayer.)

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

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 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.”

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 The disciples knew the Lord Jesus (The Hymnal 1982 #S167) Mason Martens

Invitation to CommunionThe presider invites us to the meal: Presider 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.

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.

How are their modern-day psalms reso-nant with those of antiquity? What do their songs have

to do with our Christian story, or do they? Does God still reveal Godself through present-day prophets and sages? How do we interpret art generally, and music specifically in ways that open us to transformative experiences of art and life? Join us for the conversation.

Usher GatheringTODAY, 12:30-2:00, CATHEDRAL NAVE11 o’clock ushers will gather after church on November 15 for some fellow-ship and review of practices and procedures.

This week our partners take action to promote economic policies that serve, protect and promote the participation of the world’s most vulnerable. In one global voice, we come together to act, pray and worship to put an end to global pov-erty. Please pick up a prayer card and learn about unfair economic practices, available on the table in the coffee corner.

We pray that we will have the strength to one day right wrong relationships, free those who have been condemned to debt and poverty, and work towards a world that reflects the love, mercy, and justice of Christ, Amen.
