The First Lesson Proverbs 8:1-4,22-31 Please be seated. BCP p. 357
Does not wisdom call, and does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights, beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand; beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries out: “To you, O people, I call, and my cry is to all that live. The Lord created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of long ago. Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth – when he had not yet made earth and fields, or the world’s first bits of soil. When he established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside him, like a master worker; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the human race.
Reader The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
Psalm 8:1-6 Domine, Dominus noster All sing BCP p. 592
1 O Lord our / Governor, *
how exalted is your Name in all the / world!
2 Out of the mouths of infants and / children *
your majesty is praised above the / heavens.
3 You have set up a stronghold against your / adversaries, *
to quell the enemy and the a- / venger.
4 When I consider your heavens, the work of your / fingers, *
the moon and the stars you have set in their / courses,
5 What is man that you should be mindful of / him? *
the son of man that you should seek him / out?
6 You have made him but little lower than the / angels; *
you adorn him with glory and / honor.
The Second Lesson Romans 5:1-5 BCP p. 357
Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
Reader The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.

The Holy Gospel John 16:12-15 BCP p. 357
Minister The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to John.
People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Jesus said, “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.”
Minister The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.
The Sermon Silence is kept after the sermon. BCP p. 358
The Nicene Creed Said together, all standing BCP p. 358
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
The Prayers of the People Please kneel or stand. BCP p. 387

Therefore, according to his command, O Father,
We remember his death,

we await his coming in glory;
The Celebrant calls on the Holy Spirit to descend on us and on our gifts, and offers prayer in anticipation of God’s festival banquet.
By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever.
