The Proclamation of the Word
A READING FROM THE FIRST BOOK OF KINGS 18: 20-39
Read by Michael Miller
So Ahab sent to all the Israelites, and assembled the prophets at
Mount Carmel. Elijah then came near to all the people, and said,
“How long will you go limping with two different opinions? If
the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” The
2. people did not answer him a word. Then Elijah said to the
people, “I, even I only, am left a prophet of the Lord; but Baal’s
prophets number four hundred fifty. Let two bulls be given to
us; let them choose one bull for themselves, cut it in pieces, and
lay it on the wood, but put no fire to it; I will prepare the other
bull and lay it on the wood, but put no fire to it. Then you call
on the name of your god and I will call on the name of the Lord;
the god who answers by fire is indeed God.” All the people
answered, “Well spoken!” Then Elijah said to the prophets of
Baal, “Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first, for
you are many; then call on the name of your god, but put no fire
to it.” So they took the bull that was given them, prepared it,
and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, crying,
“O Baal, answer us!” But there was no voice, and no answer.
They limped about the altar that they had made. At noon Elijah
mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud! Surely he is a god; either he
is meditating, or he has wandered away, or he is on a journey, or
perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.” Then they cried
aloud and, as was their custom, they cut themselves with swords
and lances until the blood gushed out over them. As midday
passed, they raved on until the time of the offering of the
oblation, but there was no voice, no answer, and no response.
Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come closer to me”; and all
the people came closer to him. First he repaired the altar of the
Lord that had been thrown down; Elijah took twelve stones,
according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to
whom the word of the Lord came, saying, “Israel shall be your
name”; with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord.
Then he made a trench around the altar, large enough to contain
two measures of seed. Next he put the wood in order, cut the
bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood. He said, “Fill four jars
with water and pour it on the burntoffering and on the wood.”
Then he said, “Do it a second time”; and they did it a second
time. Again he said, “Do it a third time”; and they did it a third
time, so that the water ran all around the altar, and filled the
trench also with water. At the time of the offering of the
oblation, the prophet Elijah came near and said, “O Lord, God
of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that you
are God in Israel, that I am your servant, and that I have done all
these things at your bidding. Answer me, O Lord, answer me, so
that this people may know that you, O Lord, are God, and that
you have turned their hearts back.” Then the fire of the Lord fell
and consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, and the
dust, and even licked up the water that was in the trench. When
all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, “The Lord
indeed is God; the Lord indeed is God.”
The word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.
PSALM 96 (Tone VIII.2)
Sing to the LORD a new song; *
sing to the LORD all the whole earth.
Sing to the LORD and bless his Name; *
proclaim the good news of his sal-va-tion from day to day.
Declare his glory among the na-tions *
and his wonders a-mong all peo-ples.
For great is the LORD and greatly to be prais’d; *
he is more to be fear’d than all gods.
As for all the gods of the nations they are but i-dols; *
but it is the LORD who made the heav-ens.
Oh the majesty and magnificence of his pre-sence! *
Oh the power and the splendour of his sanc-tu-ar-y!
Ascribe to the LORD you families of the peo-ples; *
ascribe to the LORD hon-our and pow’r.
Ascribe to the LORD the honour due his Name; *
bring offerings and come in-to his courts.
Worship the LORD in the beauty of ho-li-ness; *
let the whole earth trem-ble be-fore him.
Tell it out among the nations “The LORD is King! *
he has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved / he
will judge the peo-ples with e-qui-ty.”
Let the heavens rejoice and let the earth be glad / let the sea
thunder and all that is in it; * let the field be joyful and all that is
there-in.
Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy before the
LORD when he comes, *
when he comes to judge the earth.
3. He will judge the world with right-eous-ness *
and the peo-ples with his truth.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son:
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit.
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be:
world with-out end A-men.
A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE GALATIANS 1:1–12
Read by Elizabeth Fowler
Paul an apostle—sent neither by human commission nor from
human authorities, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father,
who raised him from the dead—and all the members of God’s
family who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: Grace to you
and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who
gave himself for our sins to set us free from the present evil age,
according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory
forever and ever. Amen. I am astonished that you are
so quickly deserting the one who called you in the grace of Christ
and are turning to a different gospel—not that there is another
gospel, but there are some who are confusing you and
want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel
from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we
proclaimed to you, let that one be accursed! As we have said
before, so now I repeat, if anyone proclaims to you a gospel
contrary to what you received, let that one be accursed! Am I now
seeking human approval, or God’s approval? Or am I trying to
please people? If I were still pleasing people, I would not be a
servant of Christ. For I want you to know, brothers and sisters,
that the gospel that was proclaimed by me is not of human origin;
for I did not receive it from a human source, nor was I taught it,
but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
The word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.
Gospel Alleluia
Choir: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
All: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Luke 7: 1-10.
All: Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
After Jesus had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the
people, he entered Capernaum. A centurion there had a slave
whom he valued highly, and who was ill and close to death.
When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him,
asking him to come and heal his slave. When they came to Jesus,
they appealed to him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy
of having you do this for him, for he loves our people, and it is he
who built our synagogue for us.” And Jesus went with them, but
when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent
friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not
worthy to have you come under my roof; therefore I did not
presume to come to you. But only speak the word, and let my
servant be healed. For I also am a man set under authority, with
soldiers under me; and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to
another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and the
slave does it.” When Jesus heard this he was amazed at him, and
turning to the crowd that followed him, he said, “I tell you,
not even in Israel have I found such faith.” When those who had
been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good
health.

Anthem: Cantique de Jean Racine - Gabriel Fauré
Word of God, one with the Most High,
in Whom alone we have our hope,
Eternal Day of heaven and earth,
We break the silence of the peaceful night;
Saviour Divine, cast your eyes upon us!
Pour on us the fire of your powerful grace,
That all hell may flee at the sound of your voice;
Banish the slumber of a weary soul,
That brings forgetfulness of your laws!
O Christ, look with favour upon your faithful people
Now gathered here to praise you;
Receive their hymns offered to your immortal glory;
May they go forth filled with your gifts.
Prayer over the Gifts: Eternal God, receive all we offer you
this day. Give us the wisdom of obedience and help us to do
your holy and life-giving will; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
