The First Reading
Hosea 1:2-10

For the word of God in
scripture,
For the word of God among us,
For the word of God within us,
Thanks be to God.

Psalm 85
Insert, BCP p. 708
or on following slides

You have been gracious to your
land, O Lord, you have
restored the good fortune of
Jacob.
You have forgiven the iniquity
of your people and blotted out
all their sins.

You have withdrawn all your
fury, and turned yourself from
your wrathful indignation.
Restore us then, O God our
Savior; let your anger depart
from us.

Will you be displeased with us
for ever? will you prolong your
anger from age to age?
Will you not give us life
again, that your people may
rejoice in you?

Show us your mercy, O
Lord, and grant us your
salvation.
I will listen to what the Lord
God is saying, for he is
speaking peace to his faithful
people and to those who turn
their hearts to him.

Truly, his salvation is very near
to those who fear him, that his
glory may dwell in our land.
Mercy and truth have met
together; righteousness and
peace have kissed each other.

Truth shall spring up from the
earth, and righteousness shall
look down from heaven.
The Lord will indeed grant
prosperity, and our land will
yield its increase.

Righteousness shall go before
him, and peace shall be a
pathway for his feet.

The Nicene Creed
Please stand and join me in
saying the Nicene Creed…
BCP pg 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.

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.

Let us beseech the Lord for
the health and salvation of
all.

For Justin, the Archbishop of
Canterbury; Katharine, our
Presiding Bishop;
Gay, President of the House of
Deputies;
John, Bruce, Vernon, and
Bob, our Bishops; and all the
holy people of God.

For the Diocese of
Phulbani, North India.
For Christ Church, Red
Shirt, South Dakota, and Red
Shirt Project. For St. Stephen’s
in the Diocese of Kiteto. For
the mission and ministry of St.
Mark’s, St. Stephen’s,

Christ Church, Glenrock, and all
the congregations in the
Diocese of Wyoming, especially
St. John’s, Powell.
For this holy congregation, for
every holy gathering, and for
all who love God.

Come and pray in us,
Holy Spirit.
Come and pray in us.
Come and visit us, Holy Spirit.
Spirit come. Spirit Come.

For all peoples on earth and
their leaders.
For mercy, peace and
compassionate justice
throughout the world.
For this city and every place.

For farmers and a good
harvest; for travelers and
those on vacation; and for
safety from violent storms.

For all those who hunger and
thirst, the poor and the
oppressed, prisoners and
captives, and for their
families.

For our deliverance from all
affliction, strife and need. For
those who have requested our
prayers and those we now
name, especially…
(The people may add their prayers aloud or silently.)

For the dying and the
dead, and for those who
mourn, especially…
(The people may add their prayers aloud or silently.)

For ourselves, our families, our
companions and all those we
love.

Ministry. For the members of
this congregation and our
guests as we minister to each
other and to the world.

We thank you for hearing our
prayers and for all the good
gifts you give your children…
(The people may add their prayers of thanks aloud or
silently.)

Joining our voices with Saint
Mary, Saint Stephen and all
the saints and angels of
God, let us offer ourselves and
one another to the living God
through Christ.
To you, O Lord.

Father of the Word, whose
Son taught us to pray, give us
what we ask this day and
open the door when we
knock; through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.

Confession of Sin
Priest:
Let us confess our sins
against God and our
neighbor.

Most merciful God, 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.

Priest pronounces the absolution:
Almighty God have mercy on
you, forgive you all your sins
through our Lord Jesus
Christ, strengthen you in all
goodness, and by the power of
the Holy Spirit keep you in
eternal life. Amen.

Celebrant:
Be still and accept the peace
that God’s presence brings:
peace in your hearts, minds
and all your dealings; and
the peace of the Lord be
always with you
and also with you.

Watch over your
child, ______, O Lord as his
days increase; bless and guide
him wherever he may be.
Strengthen him when he
stands; comfort him when
discouraged or sorrowful;

raise him up if he falls; and in
his heart may your peace
which passes understanding
abide all the days of his life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

The Anniversary Prayer
O God, you have so consecrated
the covenant of marriage that
in it is represented the
spiritual unity between Christ
and his Church:

Send therefore your blessing
upon these your
servants, that they may so
love, honor, and cherish each
other in faithfulness and
patience, in wisdom and true
godliness,
that their home may be a
haven of blessing and peace;

through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and for
ever. Amen.

Walk in love, as Christ loved
us and gave himself for us, an
offering and sacrifice to God.
The Offertory Hymn
“Lord’s Prayer”
(Solo by Becca Triplett)

Doxology S130
Praise God, from whom all
blessings flow;
praise him, all creatures here
below;
praise him above, ye heavenly
host:
praise Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost.

Eucharistic Prayer A
Book of Common Prayer
pg. 361

The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the
Lord our God.
It is right to give him thanks
and praise.

It is right, and a good and
joyful thing, always and
everywhere to give thanks to
you, Father
Almighty, Creator of heaven
and earth.
(here the proper preface is said)

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:

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:
Christ has died.
Christ has 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.

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

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,

Alleluia. Christ our Passover
is sacrificed for us;
Therefore let us keep the
feast. Alleluia.

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.

The Communion Hymn
Hymn #711
(or on the following slides)

Post Communion Prayer (BCP p. 366):
Almighty and everliving
God, we thank you for feeding
us with the spiritual food of
the most precious Body and
Blood of your Son our Savior
Jesus Christ; and for assuring
us in these holy mysteries that

are living members of the
Body of your Son, and heirs of
your eternal kingdom. And
now, Father, send us out to do
the work you have given us to
do, to love and serve you as
faithful witnesses of Christ
our Lord.

To him, to you, and to the
Holy Spirit, be honor and
glory, now and for ever.
Amen.

Recessional Hymn

St. Stephen's Rule of Life
We commit ourselves to be involved in all aspects of church life:
Liturgy
Pastoral Care
Evangelism/Mission
Vision
Administration
We commit ourselves to encourage each other to use our spiritual
gifts. We commit ourselves to create an environment where
groups and individuals are invited to explore and define their
spirituality by asking, listening, and learning from each other and
from God. We commit ourselves to the stability, growth and
transformation of St. Stephen's by working together and by our
commitment to God.
