Martin Luther King, Jr.
Almighty God, by the hand of Moses your servant you led your people out of slavery, and made them free at last: Grant that your church, following the example of your prophet Martin Luther King, may resist oppression in the name of your love, and may strive to secure for all your children the blessed liberty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Above: the choir rehearses for the part of the Epiphany Procession that occurs in the back of the nave.
Service details: Just moments before 11am, a crucifer and torch bearers lead the clergy to their places in the chancel. The choir then sings the responsory from the Great Stairwell, after which another crucifer and two more torch bearers lead the choir to the rear of the nave during the singing of the hymn. If you listen on the webcast, you will notice this movement of the choir through the nave.
The Rector then says the Bidding Prayer from his stall, and the congregation joins in saying the Lord’s Prayer.
The Choir sings the motet from the back of the nave and the subdeacon then reads the first lesson from the lectern.
Then, while the choir sings the carol from the back of the nave, a thurifer leads the three kings (probationers from the choir school) down the center aisle to the creche. The Three Kings hand their gifts to the Rector, who places them at the creche. The Rector then censes the creche.
Following the collect, another hymn is sung, and a crucifer and two torch bearers lead the choir down the center aisle to their places in the chancel. If you listen to the webcast, from here on the choir will sound as they always do, given their position in the choir stalls.
After a succession of collects, music and lessons, the Rector gives his greetings and homily from the pulpit. Following the homily, the Eucharist proceeds in a manner familiar to those who regularly worship at Saint Thomas.
If you are attending this service in person, the Sacrament will be distributed both at the High Altar and at the Chantry rail. All baptized Christians are invited to make their communion.
‚ñ∫If you are new to Saint Thomas, new to the Episcopal Church, and/or new to Christianity, consider attending the Rector’s Christian Doctrine Class, which began anew on Tuesday, January 10 and continues on Tuesday, January 17 at 6:30pm.
