The Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost

The Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost

O God, who declarest thy almighty power chiefly in showing mercy and pity: Mercifully grant unto us such a measure of thy grace, that we, running to obtain thy promises, may be made partakers of thy heavenly treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Proper 21)

The 11am Eucharist is typically the best-attended worship service at Saint Thomas each week. It is at this service that you not only will experience the full power of liturgy, music and preaching at Saint Thomas, but also will have the opportunity to meet many parishioners in the pews. Coffee hour and a guided tour follow the service. The bookstore, located on the first floor of the Parish House, is open following the service.

Today’s Eucharist is “festal” because of the Feast of Saint Michael & All Angels. You’ll notice the white vestments, as opposed to the normal green vestments which are used during these Sundays after Pentecost. There is also incense during the Offertory. Included during worship are hymns sung by the congregation and choir, additional music sung exclusively by the choir, lessons, prayers, a sermon, and a Rite I Mass. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion. Details of the service may be seen in the leaflet, which is posted at the bottom of this page a few days prior to the date of the service.

Please note: there is a presentation following the 11am Eucharist led by the youth of the parish regarding their summer retreat. Please join us at 12:45pm in Andrew Hall. Please see the Rector’s Weekly Message for his comments about the youth’s mission trip.

Please see John Scott’s Weekly Music Notes for his commentary on the music of Walton, Harris and Bairstow heard at this morning’s Festal Eucharist.
