The Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost

The Eleventh 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)

Above: This reproduction of a Greek icon depicting Mother and Child was donated anonymously and has been placed on the southwest corner pillar, just at the entrance to the Chantry Chapel from the central nave.

The 11am 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 on that day. That said, we’re also celebrating the feast to today so that the maximum number of people can participate, and so that we can enjoy music dedicated to the Our Lady.

Included in today’s 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.
