St. George's Anglican Church: The Order For The Administration of The Lord's Supper
St. George's Anglican Church: The Order For The Administration of The Lord's Supper
ALMIGHTY God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are
hid; Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love
thee, and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Celebrant Hear what our Lord Jesus Christ saith.
THOU shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This
is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.
Kyrie Willan
The First Lesson is written in the Twenty-Eighth Chapter of the Book of Isaiah, beginning at the
Fourteenth verse.
Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers,
who rule this people in Jerusalem!
Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
and with Sheol we have an agreement,
when the overwhelming whip passes through
it will not come to us,
for we have made lies our refuge,
and in falsehood we have taken shelter”;
Page 3
therefore thus says the Lord God,
“Behold, I am the one who has laid as a foundation in Zion,
a stone, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:
‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’
And I will make justice the line,
and righteousness the plumb line;
and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
and waters will overwhelm the shelter.”
Then your covenant with death will be annulled,
and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,
you will be beaten down by it.
As often as it passes through it will take you;
for morning by morning it will pass through,
by day and by night;
and it will be sheer terror to understand the message.
For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on,
and the covering too narrow to wrap oneself in.
For the Lord will rise up as on Mount Perazim;
as in the Valley of Gibeon he will be roused;
to do his deed—strange is his deed!
and to work his work—alien is his work!
Now therefore do not scoff,
lest your bonds be made strong;
for I have heard a decree of destruction
from the Lord God of hosts against the whole land.
Here endeth the Lesson.
Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength, *
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, *
and though the mountains be toppled into the depths of the sea;
Though its waters rage and foam, *
and though the mountains tremble at its tumult.
Page 4
The Lord of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, *
the holy habitation of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be overthrown; *
God shall help her at the break of day.
The nations make much ado, and the kingdoms are shaken; *
God has spoken, and the earth shall melt away.
The Lord of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Come now and look upon the works of the Lord, *
what awesome things he has done on earth.
It is he who makes war to cease in all the world; *
he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear, and burns the shields with fire.
“Be still, then, and know that I am God; *
I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth.”
The Lord of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost:*
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The Epistle is written in the Twelfth Chapter of the Letter to the Hebrews, beginning at the Fifteenth
Verse.
See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes
trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold
his birthright for a single meal. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing,
he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.
For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and
a tempest and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further
messages be spoken to them. For they could not endure the order that was given, “If even a beast
touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I
tremble with fear.” But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly
Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who
Page 5
are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and
to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than
the blood of Abel.
See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused
him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. At
that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only
the earth but also the heavens.” This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are
shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may
remain. Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer
to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.
Here endeth the Epistle.

The Holy Gospel is written in the Thirteenth Chapter of the Gospel According to St. Luke,
beginning at the Twenty-Second Verse.
People Glory be to thee, O Lord.
Jesus went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem. And
someone said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, “Strive to enter
through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the
master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the
door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ Then
you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ But he will
say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’ In that
place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and
all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves cast out. And people will come from east
and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God. And behold, some
are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
People Praise be to thee, O Christ.

The Nicene Creed
(The people stand.)
I believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible
and invisible: And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God; Begotten of his
Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of very God; Begotten, not
made; Being of one substance with the Father; By whom all things were made: Who for us men
and for our salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the
Virgin Mary, And was made man: And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He
suffered and was buried: And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures: And
ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of the Father: And he shall come again, with
glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe
in the Holy Ghost, the Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son;
Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spake by the
Prophets: And I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church: I acknowledge one Baptism for the
remission of sins: And I look for the Resurrection of the dead: And the Life of the world to come.
Amen.

At the Presentation
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Old 100th
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host:
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
ALMIGHTY and everliving God, who by thy holy Apostle hast taught us to make prayers, and
supplications, and to give thanks for all men; We humbly beseech thee most mercifully to accept our
alms and oblations, and to receive these our prayers, which we offer unto thy Divine Majesty;
beseeching thee to inspire continually the Universal Church with the spirit of truth, unity, and
concord; and grant that all those who do confess thy holy Name may agree in the truth of thy holy
Word, and live in unity and godly love.
We beseech thee also, so to direct and dispose the hearts of all Christian rulers, that they may truly
and impartially administer justice, to the punishment of wickedness and vice, and to the maintenance
of thy true religion, and virtue.
Give grace, O heavenly Father, to all Bishops and other Ministers, that they may, both by their life
and doctrine, set forth thy true and lively Word, and rightly and duly administer thy holy Sacraments.
And to all thy People give thy heavenly grace; [and especially ____] and to this congregation here
present; that, with meek heart and due reverence, they may hear, and receive thy holy Word; truly
serving thee in holiness and righteousness all the days of their life.
And we most humbly beseech thee, of thy goodness, O Lord, to comfort and succour all those who,
in this transitory life, are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity, [especially ____].
Page 9
And we also bless thy holy Name for all thy servants departed this life in thy faith and fear, [especially
____]; beseeching thee to grant them continual growth in thy love and service, and to give us grace
so to follow their good examples, that with them we may be partakers of thy heavenly kingdom. Grant
this, O Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake, our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen.
ALMIGHTY God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, Judge of all men; We
acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, Which we, from time to time, most
grievously have committed, By thought, word, and deed, Against thy Divine Majesty,
Provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, And are
heartily sorry for these our misdoings; The remembrance of them is grievous unto us; The
burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father;
For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, Forgive us all that is past; And grant that we may ever
hereafter Serve and please thee In newness of life, To the honour and glory of thy Name;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Hear what comfortable words our Saviour Christ saith unto all who truly turn to him.
COME unto me, all ye that travail and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you. (Matthew 11:28)
So God loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, to the end that all that believe in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

Celebrant Lift up your hearts.
People We lift them up unto the Lord.
Celebrant Let us give thanks unto our Lord God.
People It is meet and right so to do.
IT is very meet, right, and our bounden duty that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks
unto thee, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God.
THEREFORE with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify
thy glorious Name; evermore praising thee, and saying,
Sanctus Willan
ALL glory be to thee, Almighty God, our heavenly Father, for that thou, of thy tender mercy, didst
give thine only Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption; who made there,
by his one oblation of himself once offered, a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and
satisfaction, for the sins of the whole world; and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to
continue, a perpetual memory of that his precious death and sacrifice, until his coming again. For in
the night in which he was betrayed, he took Bread; and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and
gave it to his disciples, saying, Take, eat, this is my Body, which is given for you; Do this in
remembrance of me. Likewise, after supper, he took the Cup; and when he had given thanks, he gave
it to them, saying, Drink ye all of this; for this is my Blood of the New Testament, which is shed for
you, and for many, for the remission of sins; Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of
me.
Page 11
WHEREFORE, O Lord and heavenly Father, according to the institution of thy dearly beloved Son
our Saviour Jesus Christ, we, thy humble servants, do celebrate and make here before thy Divine
Majesty, with these thy holy gifts, which we now offer unto thee, the memorial thy Son hath
commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed passion and precious death, his mighty
resurrection and glorious ascension; rendering unto thee most hearty thanks for the innumerable
benefits procured unto us by the same.
AND we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father, to hear us; and, of thy almighty goodness,
vouchsafe to bless and sanctify, with thy Word and Holy Spirit, these thy gifts and creatures of bread
and wine; that we, receiving them according to thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ’s holy institution, in
remembrance of his death and passion, may be partakers of his most blessed Body and Blood.
AND we earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness mercifully to accept this our sacrifice of praise and
thanksgiving; most humbly beseeching thee to grant that, by the merits and death of thy Son Jesus
Christ, and through faith in his blood, we, and all thy whole Church, may obtain remission of our sins,
and all other benefits of his passion. And here we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, our selves, our
souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and living sacrifice unto thee; humbly beseeching thee that
we, and all others who shall be partakers of this Holy Communion, may worthily receive the most
precious Body and Blood of thy Son Jesus Christ, be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction,
and made one body with him, that he may dwell in us, and we in him. And although we are unworthy,
through our manifold sins, to offer unto thee any sacrifice; yet we beseech thee to accept this our
bounden duty and service, not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offenses, through Jesus Christ
our Lord; By whom, and with whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honour and glory be unto thee,
O Father Almighty, world without end. Amen.
And now, as our Saviour Christ hath taught us, we are bold to say,
OUR Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As
we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from
evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
WE do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own
righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather
up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord, whose property is always to have
mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and
to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed
through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

Body and Blood of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favour
and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of
thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs through hope of
thy everlasting kingdom, by the merits of his most precious death and passion. And we humbly
beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy
fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus
Christ our Lord, to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without
end. Amen.

Theology Circle
Last Call for Liberty
The Loves and the Seithers are teaming together to lead a weekly study of Os Guinness's
Last Call for Liberty. The study will take place at the Love's home, just north of New Life
Church. It will begin Friday evening, Sept. 6th, and meet each week thereafter until the
12-chapter book is finished (barring updates as we go). We aim to couple hospitality
with a robust discussion of "the prospects for human freedom today." The book "poses
key questions for concerned citizens to consider as we face a critical chapter in the
American story"--questions on topics like the nature of freedom, its sources, and the
practices/institutions required to sustain it. The book will guide us as we seek to
understand, pray for, and act within our present moment.
Interested parties can email Chris at chrislove05@gmail.com for address and start time.
