The First Sunday in LentFebruary 22, 2015, 11:15am

holy Eucharist and induction of the Eighteenth rector

Welcome to Trinity ChurchPlease add your voice and heart to the worship: sing the hymns and pray the prayers. Everyone is welcome at Jesus’ Table, and everyone’s voice is needed to tell the Good News of God’s love in Christ. Please help others find a place near you, and greet the person next to you as we prepare to worship together.

Worship Notes for LentThe Worship of God is a deep and long river — its sources are as ancient as human communities, and each generation adds to that great, flowing stream. Part of what moves us so deeply about worship is its connection to the human longings and revelations of the past. At the same time, worship is constantly evolving, as we experience God in our own time. We immerse ourselves in this dynamic intersection and flow of the human and divine each Sunday. Worship is always alive and changing.

Our liturgy changes seasonally — Lent brings a different pace, texture and tone, and order of service, as we prepare for the Easter feast. Our liturgy also changes in larger ways, as communities grow and evolve, and with new leadership. As Lent now begins you may notice many of these changes, some seasonal and some more lasting. Notice at a deeper level how they affect your prayer; how do they open up fresh ways of experiencing God?

All change in the content and flow of worship, at its best, seeks to more fully carry us into the heart of God. Let us prepare with joy for the Easter feast!

The First Sunday in Lent11:15am The Holy Eucharist Rite II

February 22, 2015

The Entrance RiteThe service is taken from The Book of Common Prayer (BCP), beginning on page 264.

PreludeAttende Domine Jeanne Demessieux (1921-1968)

IntroitPlease stand as you are able.

Tunc acceptabis from Miserere mei Gregorio Allegri (1582–1652)

Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiæ oblationes et holocausta. Tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.

Then you will accept the sacrifice of righteousness, the oblations and the whole-burnt offerings; then they will lay bullocks upon your altar.

The Induction of the XVIII RectorThe Vicar addresses the Congregation from the chancel step.

Vicar Dear Friends in Christ: Trinity Church received its charter from King William III of England in 1697, which called for the Rector to be inducted by the Royal Governor of the Colony. After the American Revolution, when Samuel Provoost of Philadelphia was elected fifth Rector in 1784, the Royal Governor had long fled the city. The New York Assembly passed an act providing for the Church Wardens and Vestry to induct a new Rector. This morning we have come to fulfill the charter by inducting William Lupfer as the 18th Rector of Trinity Church.

The Senior Warden places the Rector’s hand on the key of the locked church doors, at the same time giving him the key to St. Paul’s Chapel, and says

Senior Warden In pursuance of the order of the Church-Wardens and Vestrymen, I hereby deliver to you the keys of this Church and of St. Paul’s Chapel, and by virtue thereof induct you into the Office of Rector of the Parish of Trinity Church in the City of New York and into the real actual and corporal possession of the Rectorship with all its fruits, profits, members and appurtenances.

Rector I accept the keys and with them the temporalities, profits, and appurtenances of the Rectorship, and, by the Grace of God, I will faithfully perform the duties of my office, so long as it may please God to continue me in it.

The Rector then unlocks the outer door of the Church, and, after delivering to the Head Verger of Trinity Church the key enters the Church and joins the entrance procession.

People Amen.

The Liturgy of the WordPlease be seated for the readings.

The Hebrew Scripture Genesis 9:8–17

Reader A Reading from the Book of Genesis.

God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark. I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

The Epistle 1 Peter 3:18-22

Reader A Reading from the First Letter of Peter.

Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison, who in former times did not obey, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. And baptism, which this prefigured, now saves you-- not as a removal of dirt from the body, but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers made subject to him.

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

The Holy Gospel Mark 1:9–15

Please remain standing for the reading as you are able.

Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark. People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”

And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him.

Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.”

Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Fear and trembling have taken hold of me, and darkness has descended upon me. Have mercy upon me, O Lord, have mercy, for my soul has trusted in thee. Hear, O God, my supplication, for thou art my refuge and strength; O Lord, I have called upon thee, let me never be confounded.

The Great Thanksgiving BCP 361, Eucharistic Prayer A

Hymnal S120 Lift up your hearts, Setting: © Church Publishing, Inc. Reprinted by permission.

Celebrant It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who was tempted in every way as we are, yet did not sin. By his grace we are able to triumph over every evil, and to live no longer for ourselves alone, but for him who died for us and rose again.

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

Music: From Deutsche Messe, Franz Peter Schubert (1797-1828); arr. Richard Proulx (1937-2010) © 1985 GIA Publications, Inc.

Please stand or kneel as you are able.

Celebrant 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.”

Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:

All Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

Celebrant 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.

All AMEN.

16

Celebrant And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

People Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name,

thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,

for ever and ever. Amen.

Congregational Voice“Be still, and know that I am God!” (Psalm 46:10) By far, this is my favorite scripture. I first saw it emblazoned on a high beam over the church’s altar in Omaha, NE when my brother married his sweetheart 22 years ago. Catching everyone’s attention was obvious; sinking deep into my spirit was intense and intentional. Years later, during the darkest years of my own marriage, I remembered

“Persons Entitled to Vote: All persons who on the date of an annual election shall have attained the age of 18 years and who, for the space of one year preceding such annual election, shall have been duly enrolled on the Parish’s records as members of the Congregation and shall have partaken of the Holy Communion within said year in the Parish and shall have contributed to the support of the Parish by a recorded gift of any amount in the preceding year, and no other persons, shall be entitled to vote at such annual election.”

Please note: The requirement that an eligible voter has contributed to the support of the Parish by a recorded gift in any amount in the year preceding the election was added by the Vestry to the Ordinances last year as part of the comprehensive revision conducted in consultation with the Congregational Council. It is a common requirement to be a voting member of an Episcopal Church. The Vestry intends the requirement to be applied liberally to include any financial gift or pledge or fulfillment of any pledge or bequest or intention to make a bequest that is recorded at any time in the preceding year up to and including the moment prior to the casting of the voter’s ballot.

Please note further: The register of eligible voters is available for inspection in the Office of the Rector, 120 Broadway, 38th floor, and a member of the congregation may confirm that his or her name is included on the register by emailing tmatveyeva@trinitywallstreet.org. Every person entitled to vote at the annual election whose name has not been entered on the register of voters may be added to the rolls by making an application to the Rector at the above email address stating briefly the facts supporting his or her inclusion. Application may also be made in person the on the day of the election at the polling place in Trinity Church.

Mail Ballots: For the first time this year ballots may be submitted by mail. Ballots and prepaid reply envelopes will be mailed to all persons whose names are listed on the register on or about March 23, 2015. In addition ballots and prepaid reply envelopes will be made available in Trinity Church and St. Paul’s Chapel during the three weeks preceding the election. Persons submitting a mail ballot must print legibly and then sign his or her name on the back of the reply envelope so that eligibility to vote can be determined from the register prior to the reply envelope being opened and the ballot submitted for counting.

Peace rippled through me; my spirit settled as I heard “Shhh; I’m in control; I got this covered.” This scripture is now imprinted in 100 point type size and set in a dark wood picture frame that sits on my nightstand next to my bed. At sunrise when I’m already apprehensive about the day or at midnight when I’m exhausted by the day, I look at my reminder—He’s got this covered, too. —Regina Jacobs

Notes on the Induction Ceremony of the XVIII Rector of Trinity Church:

The Reverend Dr. William Lupfer

Officially becoming the XVIII Rector of Trinity Wall Street is a two-step process. The Rev. Dr. William Lupfer will first be inducted and later instituted as the 18th Rector of Trinity Wall Street. These two ceremonies represent the care of the souls of the parish and the custody of the church.

Dr. Lupfer’s induction ceremony is unique to Trinity. The senior warden, Christopher McCrudden, will give the keys to the church to Dr. Lupfer at the Broadway entrance of Trinity Church. They will use the keys to open the doors of the church together. The keys will then be given to David Jette, Head Verger. This is based on Trinity’s charter, which states that the church and rectory are under the care of the rector until he dies (the position of rector was typically a lifelong appointment at the time the charter was written) or retires, at which time they return to the vestry, which then passes them on to next rector.

In colonial times, the Vestry of Trinity Church would apply to the Royal Governor to approve, institute, and induct their choice of rector. The Royal Governor would submit two certificates: one of institution as rector, giving him “care of the souls,” and one in which he was “inducted into the Real Actual and Corporeal possession of the rectory and Parish Church of Trinity Church.” In 1777 when Charles Inglis was inducted, after receiving the certificates from the Governor, Inglis was “conducted” to Trinity Church, where one of the Wardens places his hand against the wall of the ruin of Trinity Church, and read the induction certificate.

So, though the spirit of the induction ceremony—the symbolic passing of the ownership of the physical property of parish—has remained the same, the ceremony itself has evolved. The ceremony in its current form has been taking place since at least the induction of Benjamin Moore in 1800.

A second ceremony will take place on Ascension Day, May 14. This is to institute Dr. Lupfer as XVIII Rector during a traditional liturgy from the Book of Common Prayer. The Trinity charter states that the “Rector shall have the care of the souls of the inhabitants within the said parish.” This is reflected during the liturgy when Dr. Lupfer will pray these words: “Make me an instrument of your salvation for the people entrusted to my care, and grant that I may faithfully administer your holy Sacraments, and by my life and teaching set forth your true and living Word.” Dr. Lupfer will be given symbols of his office, typically things like a copy of Trinity’s charter and bread and wine to represent the Eucharist. The Rt. Rev. Andrew M.L. Dietsche, Bishop of New York, will celebrate.

FROM TRINITY’S ORIGINAL CHARTER:

And have and enjoy to him and his successors forever one messuage or tenement and appurtenances intended to be erected on part of the said church-yard, or near thereunto as conveniently as can be procured. And our Royall will and pleasure is, further, that the patronage, advowson, donation, or presentation of and to the said Rectory and Parish after the decease of the said first Rector, or the next avoidance thereof, shall appertain and belong to, and be hereby vested in the Churchwardens and Vestrymen, or the major part of the said Vestrymen, together with either of the Church-wardens of Trinity Church for the time being. And that all the succeeding Rectors of the said Parish and Parish Church (except the first Rector thereof hereby constituted) shall be presented, collated, instituted, and inducted as other Rectors, Persons, and Vicars respectively...
