The Ninth Sunday After Pentecost

The Ninth Sunday After Pentecost

Almighty God, who hast given thy only Son to be unto us both a sacrifice for sin and also an example of godly life: Give us grace that we may always most thankfully receive that his inestimable benefit, and also daily endeavor ourselves to follow the blessed steps of his most holy life; through the same Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Proper 15)

We welcome today the Chancel Choir of First United Methodist Church, Salisbury, North Carolina.

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 follows the service.

Today’s Eucharist is “festal” because we celebrate today the blessed mother, Saint Mary the Virgin. Her feast day is actually August 15, and we will keep the day with three said masses in the Chantry Chapel. That said, we’ve translated the feast to today as well so that the maximum number of people can participate.

Included in 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.

‚ñ∫The Rector speaks of the Feast of Saint Mary the Virgin in his weekly audio message.
