The Village Chapel Pinehurst, North Carolina

November 5, 2017

All Saints Sunday Holy Communion

Our Mission

As an interdenominational Christian community,

we worship God in spirit and truth;

teach and encourage the Christian faith;

support the spiritual needs of our congregation, and

reach out to others with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Village Chapel An Enduring Vision of Christian Unity

“It is believed by many that the influence of the Chapel is far reaching and that its message

going out Sunday by Sunday to its world congregation, will have great effect in uniting the

Christian forces of the land into a fellowship and a brotherhood unit until it can be said

again as it was said of old: ‘See how these Christians love one another.’” The Rev’d William

B. Hannon, “The Pinehurst Outlook,” November, 1924.

As The Village Chapel begins its second century of worship and service to God, we are

emboldened by our founding principles of Christian unity and community service, which

were inspired by the words and example of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; through His

death and resurrection; the Great Commission; and His prayer for unity “that we all may be

one.”

Located in the center and present at the inception of a community of religious expression -

and seeking to be in harmony with the fellowship that has been a basic principle in the

Village of Pinehurst - The Village Chapel offers a unique and gracious vision to its members

and the community beyond: The actual reality of a church that is thankful for, dependent on,

and inspired by the saving grace of Jesus Christ; a church that is welcoming, prayerful, and

pre-eminent in the life of our community; and a church that—without regard for religious

divisions within the Body of Christ—will always proclaim in thought, word, and deed the

Good News that we are all united in Jesus Christ!

“This Chapel will always stand for Christian Unity. Any one who reads the 17th Chapter of

St. John will believe that we are carrying out the desires of Jesus Christ. We believe that

there is a deep blessedness in Christian fellowship. In whatever household of faith you were

born, whatever creed you now profess, you can come to this sanctuary and feel at home in

your Father’s house. Our constant prayers rise to the throne of God for our nation in these

days that call for sacrifice, courage and faith. We cordially invite you to worship with us.”

The Village Chapel’s welcoming statement, 1924.

If you are visiting this morning, we welcome you to The Village Chapel and hope that

you are with us again soon. We encourage you to register your attendance

in the red Fellowship Folder found on the middle-aisle side of each pew.

of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made; being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things

were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of

the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried;

Prayer of General Confession (People)

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men: we acknowledge and bewail

our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time, most grievously have committed by thought, word,

and deed, against Thy divine Majesty, provoking most justly Thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly

repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings. The remembrance of them is grievous unto us, the burden of

them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; for Thy Son our Lord Jesus

Christ's sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please Thee in newness of

life, to the honor and glory of Thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in Him, and He in us. Amen.

incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs

through hope of thy everlasting kingdom, by the merits of his most precious death and passion. And we humbly

beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do

all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and

the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.

I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

Fear the LORD, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.

The lions may grow weak and hungry, The LORD will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him

will be condemned.

COMMUNION SERVICE

(All baptized Christians are invited to receive Holy Communion, distributed at the altar and, for accessibility, at the

Chancel steps or at your seat.)

Minister: The Lord be with you.

People: And with thy spirit. Minister: Lift up your hearts.

People: We lift them to the Lord. Minister: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

People: It is right to give him thanks and praise.

Preface

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator

of heaven and earth. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with angels and archangels, and with all the

company of heaven; who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

Sanctus (Sung by the choir) William Mathias

Consecration of the Elements (Minister)

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, 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.”

Therefore, we proclaim the mystery of faith:

People: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

Minister: 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.

8

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 forever. Amen.

The gifts of God for the people of God. Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you, and feed on him in

your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.

Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of His Body and Blood. Send us now into the

world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart;

through Christ our Lord. Amen.
