USED BOOK SALES -HELP NEEDED

Donna Foust and Jan Costin had a very successful 2007, thanks to all of their customers. Last year they were able to donate over $1,000.00 to help reduce the Development Fund loan -just on the sale of the books you donate and recycle. They plan to continue this year but need HELP. Donna and Jan are asking for help to set up and tear down the tables and help bringing the books out for display and putting them away.

SEPTUAGESIMA SUNDAY HOLY EUCHARIST

Organ Prelude

“God of grace and God of glory,”.................................................... Hymn 524

Introit: The sorrows of death came about me, the pains of hell gat hold upon me: and in my tribulation I made my prayer unto the Lord, and he regarded my supplication out of his holy temple. I will love thee, O Lord my strength: the Lord is my stony rock, my fortress, and my Savior: Glory be...and to the Holy Ghost. As it was...and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

Collect for Purity Page 67

Kyrie Eleison ........................................................................................ 710 Collect for Septuagesima Sunday Page 118-119 Epistle for Septuagesima Sunday Page 119

Gradual: The Lord will be a refuge in the time of trouble: and they that know thy Name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast never failed them that seek thee. For the poor shall not always be forgotten: the patient abiding of the meek shall not perish for ever: up, Lord, and let not man have upper hand.

Gospel for Septuagesima Page 119-120

Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice. O let thine ears consider well: the voice of my complaint. If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss: O Lord, who may abide it? For there is mercy with thee: therefore shalt thou be feared.

Nicene Creed Page 71 “Fight the good fight with all thy might,”........................................... Hymn 560 Sermon given by Fr. Gordon Hines+

We employ the rich Ceremonial of the historic Church in our worship. While it may seem a bit strange or unnatural to you at first, be patient. The liturgical heritage of the Church WILL speak to you in time, as it has to Christians through the centuries.

Welcome to Saint George’s!

If you are a visitor with us just for today we bid you God speed on your journey. If you are seeking a church home we welcome you into our spiritual family so that you might make good on your Christian duty to “follow Christ, worship God every Sunday in His Church, to work and pray and give for the spread of His kingdom” (BCP, page 291). In either case, be sure to sign the guest book and introduce yourself to us upon the conclusion of the service.

We are part of the Anglican Province of Christ the King–a nationwide body of traditional Episcopal Churches which stands for historic Christianity in the Anglican tradition.

OUR BELIEFS are based on the teaching of the Bible and the ancient creeds of the Church. We use the 1928 Book of Common Prayer as the basis for our worship.

OUR MISSION is to worship God, serve Jesus Christ, and to bring mankind to Jesus and His Church by : (1) proclaiming biblical truth through Catholic order as it is embodied in the historic Book of Common Prayer; (2) preaching God’s Word and administrating His Holy Sacraments; (3) showing the love of Christ by reaching out to others through works of charity; and (4) upholding Christian family values and teaching the Christian faith and New Testament morality to our children.

OUR GOALS are: to grow in understanding of and participation in the corporate worship services of the Church, to read Holy Scripture daily and to love God and our neighbor more fully.

FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN are especially welcomed, as our Church School stands ready to equip you and your children for living the Christian life. Sunday school instruction and nursery are provided during the 10:30 am Sunday service.
