Amen.FIRST READING Acts 16:9-15Reader A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.During the night Paul had a vision: there stood a man of Macedonia pleading with him and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." When he had seen the vision, we immediately tried to cross over to Macedonia, being convinced that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them.We set sail from Troas and took a straight course to Samothrace, the following day to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city for some days. On the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had gathered there. A certain woman named Lydia, a worshiper of God, was listening to us; she was from the city of Thyatira and a dealer in purple cloth. The Lord opened her heart to listen eagerly to what was said by Paul. When she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my home." And she prevailed upon us.ReaderThe Word of the Lord.PeopleThanks be to God.PSALM Psalm 67 Deus misereatur1 May God be merciful to us and bless us, *show us the light of his countenance and come to us.2 Let your ways be known upon earth, *your saving health among all nations.3 Let the peoples praise you, O God; *let all the peoples praise you.4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, *for you judge the peoples...

Amen.FIRST READING Acts 1:6-14When the apostles had come together, they asked Jesus, “Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?” He replied, “It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. While he was going and they were gazing up toward heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them. They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the sameway as you saw him go into heaven.”Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day's journey away. When they had entered the city, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying, Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. All these were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers.PSALM Psalm 68: 1-10, 33-36 Exsurgat Deus 1 Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; *let those who hate him flee before him.2 Let them vanish like smoke when the wind drives it away; *as the wax melts at the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.3 But let the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; * let them also be merry and joyful.4 Sing to God, sing praises to his Name;exalt him who rides upon the heavens; * YAHWEH is his Name, rejoice before him!5 Father of orphans, defender of widows, * God in his holy habitation!6 God gives the solitary a home and brings forth prisoners into freedom; * but the rebels shall live in dry places.7 O God, when you went forth before your people, * when you marched through the wilderness,8 The earth shook, and the skies poured down rain, at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, *at the presence of God, the God of Israel.9 You sent a gracious rain, O God, upon your inheritance; * you refreshed the land when it was weary.10 Your people found their home in it; *in your goodness, O God, you have made provision for the poor.33 Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; * sing praises to the Lord.34 He rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens; * he sends forth his voice, his mighty voice.35 Ascribe power to God; *his majesty is over Israel; his strength is in the skies.36 How wonderful is God in his holy places! *the God of Israel giving strength and power to his people! Blessed be God!SECOND READING 1 Peter 4:12-14,...

Althouse)Communion Anthem Ubi Caritas (Hurd)Post-Communion Hymn #544 Jesus Shall ReignTHE COLLECT OF THE DAYO God, you have prepared for those who love you such good things as surpass our understanding: Pour into our hearts such love towards you, that we, loving you in all things and above all things, may obtain your promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.FIRST READING Acts 17:22-31Paul stood in front of the Areopagus and said, “Athenians, I see how extremely religious you are in every way. For as I went through the city and looked carefully at the objects of your worship, I found among them an altar with the inscription, ‘To an unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and everything in it, he who is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by human hands, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mortals life and breath and all things. From one ancestor he made all nations to inhabit the whole earth, and he allotted the times of their existence and the boundaries of the places where they would live, so that they would search for God and perhaps grope for him and find him— though indeed he is not far from each one of us. For ‘In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your own poets have said,‘For we too are his offspring.'Since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the deity is like gold, or silver, or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of mortals. While God has overlooked the times of human ignorance, now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will have the world judged in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.”PSALM Psalm 66:7-18 Jubilate Deo7 Bless our God, you peoples; *make the voice of his praise to be heard;8 Who holds our souls in life, *and will not allow our feet to slip.9 For you, O God, have proved us; *you have tried us just as silver is tried.10 You brought us into the snare; *you laid heavy burdens upon our backs.11 You let enemies ride over our heads;we went through fire and water; *but you brought us out into a place of refreshment.12 I will enter your house with burnt-offeringsand will pay you my vows, *which I promised with my lipsand spoke with my mouth when I was in trouble.13 I will offer you sacrifices of fat beasts with the smoke of rams; *I will give you oxen and goats.14 Come and listen, all you who fear God, *and I will tell you what he has done for me.15 I called out to him with my mouth, * and his praise was on my tongue.16 If I had found evil in my heart, *the Lord would not have heard me;17 But in truth God has heard me; *he has attended to the voice of my prayer.18 Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer, * nor withheld his love from me.SECOND READING 1 Peter 3:13-22Now who will harm you if you are eager to do what is good?

Amen.FIRST READING Acts 7:55-60Filled with the Holy Spirit, Stephen gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” But they covered their ears, and with a loud shout all rushed together against him. Then they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. While they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he knelt down and cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he died.PSALM Psalm 31: 1-5, 15-16 In te, Domine, speravi1 In you, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; * deliver me in your righteousness.2 Incline your ear to me; * make haste to deliver me.3 Be my strong rock, a castle to keep me safe,for you are my crag and my stronghold; *for the sake of your Name, lead me and guide me.4 Take me out of the net that they have secretly set for me, * for you are my tower of strength.5 Into your hands I commend my spirit, * for you have redeemed me,O LORD, O God of truth.15 My times are in your hand; *rescue me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.16 Make your face to shine upon your servant, * and in your loving-kindness save me.SECOND READING 1 Peter 2:2-10Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.Come to him, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God's sight, and like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in scripture:“See, I am laying in Zion a stone,a cornerstone chosen and precious;and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”To you then who believe, he is precious; but for those who do not believe,“The stone that the builders rejectedhas become the very head of the corner”,and“A stone that makes them stumble,and a rock that makes them fall.”They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.Once you were not a people,but now you are God's people;once you had not received mercy,but now you have received mercy.GOSPEL John 14:1-14Jesus said, “Do not let your hearts be...

Entrance Hymn #205 Good Christians All, Rejoice and Sing!Psalm #645 (10:15 a.m.) The King of Love My Shepherd IsSequence Hymn #343 Shepherd of Souls, Refresh and BlessOffertory Anthem Loving Shepherd (Bach, arr. various)Communion Hymn #304 I Come With Joy to Meet My Lord SaviorPost-Communion Hymn #708 Like A Shepherd Lead UsTHE COLLECT OF THE DAYO God, whose Son Jesus is the good shepherd of your people: Grant that when we hear his voice we may know him who calls us each by name, and follow where he leads; who, with you and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.FIRST READING Acts 2:42-47Those who had been baptized devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.PSALM 23 (8:00 a.m.) King James Version The LORD is my shepherd; *I shall not want.He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; *he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; *he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his Name's sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; *for thou art with me;thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence ofmine enemies; * thou anointest my head with oil;my cup runneth over.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the daysof my life, *and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.SECOND READING 1 Peter 2:19-25It is a credit to you if, being aware of God, you endure pain while suffering unjustly. If you endure when you are beaten for doing wrong, what credit is that? But if you endure when you do right and suffer for it, you have God's approval. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps.“He committed no sin,and no deceit was found in his mouth.”When he was abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. For you were going astray like sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.GOSPEL John 10:1-10Jesus said, “Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in byanother way is a thief and a bandit. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.” Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.So again...

Amen.FIRST READING Acts 2:14a, 36-41Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd, “Let the entire house of Israelknow with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified.”Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.” And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added.PSALM Psalm 116:1-3, 10-17 Dilexi, quoniam 1 I love the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my supplication, *because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him.2 The cords of death entangled me;the grip of the grave took hold of me; * I came to grief and sorrow.3 Then I called upon the Name of the LORD: * "O LORD, I pray you, save my life."10 How shall I repay the LORD *for all the good things he has done for me?11 I will lift up the cup of salvation *and call upon the Name of the LORD.12 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD * in the presence of all his people.13 Precious in the sight of the LORD * is the death of his servants.14 O LORD, I am your servant; *I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds.ST. PETER'S BY-THE-SEA EPISCOPAL CHURCH72 Central Street | Narragansett, RI 02882 | 401.783.4623 | www.stpetersbythesea.com15 I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving * and call upon the Name of the LORD.16 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD * in the presence of all his people,17 In the courts of the LORD'S house, * in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!SECOND READING 1 Peter 1:17-23If you invoke as Father the one who judges all people impartially according to their deeds, live in reverent fear during the time of your exile. You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without defect or blemish. He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of the ages for your sake. Through him you have come to trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are set on God.Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you have genuine mutual love, love one another deeply from the heart. You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed,...

Somervell) Danielle Grilli, Soloist Communion Anthem We Behold the Risen Lord (Lawler, Friedell) Danielle Grilli, Soloist Post-Communion Hymn #212 Awake, Arise, Lift Up Your VoiceTHE COLLECT OF THE DAYAlmighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ's Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.FIRST READING Acts 2:14a, 22-32Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd, “You that are Israelites, listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with deeds of power, wonders, and signs that God did through him among you, as you yourselves know— this man, handed over to you according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law. But God raised him up, having freed him from death, because it was impossible for him to be held in its power. For David says concerning him,‘I saw the Lord always before me,for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken;therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; moreover my flesh will live in hope.For you will not abandon my soul to Hades,or let your Holy One experience corruption.You have made known to me the ways of life;you will make me full of gladness with your presence.'“Fellow Israelites, I may say to you confidently of our ancestor David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would put one of his descendants on his throne. Foreseeing this, David spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, saying,‘He was not abandoned to Hades,nor did his flesh experience corruption.'This Jesus God raised up, and of that all of us are witnesses.”PSALM 16 Conserva me, Domine1 Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in you; * I have said to the LORD, "You are my Lord, my good above all other."2 All my delight is upon the godly that are in the land, * upon those who are noble among the people.3 But those who run after other gods * shall have their troubles multiplied.4 Their libations of blood I will not offer, *nor take the names of their gods upon my lips.5 O LORD, you are my portion and my cup; * it is you who uphold my lot.6 My boundaries enclose a pleasant land; * indeed, I have a goodly heritage.7 I will bless the LORD who gives me counsel; * my heart teaches me, night after night.8 I have set the LORD always before me; * because he is at my right hand I shall not fall.9 My heart, therefore, is glad, and my spirit rejoices; * my body also shall rest in hope.10 For you will not abandon me to the grave, * nor let your holy one see the Pit.11 You will show me the path of life; *in your presence there is fullness of joy,and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore.SECOND READING 1 Peter 1:3-9Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading,
