This week we continue our walk through the Anglican Standard Text by looking at the Sanctus.

The Sanctus is a Latin term that means Holy. The Sanctus is prefaced with a short introduction “Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your name:” This reminds us that our prayer of thanksgiving are joined with all of creation throughout time and space. The mystery of our worship is that it transcends our little church building. We join with Angels and Archangels every Sunday in worship of our Lord. This same worship has been going on since the beginning of all things and will continue on through eternity. On Sundays we add our voices to the bigger choirs that sing the praises of our God.
The song of the Angels, Holy, Holy, Holy, comes straight from scripture. The prophet Isaiah describes God’s throne as surrounded by seraphim (Angels) who cry out “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” (Isaiah 6:1-3). St. John also describes the throne of God as being surrounded by “living creatures” who never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” (Revelation 4:8) By adding the Sanctus to our worship we are recognizing that we have come before the throne of God to worship. God is present with us. When we say these words we bow our heads and enter into God’s throne room.
To be holy is to be set apart and distinct from common things. When we talk about holy objects or holy people we are talking about being set apart for divine use and purpose. The Angels’ repetition of “holy” holds some important significance. The number three is a sign of wholeness or completeness. The Angels’ repetition of “Holy” speaks of a God that is completely set apart from creation. A God that is fearfully transcendent and unlike any other.
The final part of the Sanctus is called the “Benedictus qui venti” or Blessed is He who comes. This also originates from scripture. Psalm 118:26 says, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! We bless you from the house of the Lord.” More memorable perhaps is the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. The crowds say this Psalm as Jesus the King comes to the Capital City of his people. (Think Palm Sunday). Jesus also quotes this passage when he laments over Jerusalem and their rejection of God’s plan of Salvation. We remember that Jesus comes in the name of the Lord. His coming meant a death on the cross. Our response to hearing the “Benedictus qui venti” is to make the sign of the cross. This sign comes from a desire to be people who share in the cross of Christ. It is a reminder that the cross that Jesus bore has power to transform us into people who also “come in the name of the Lord”.
FALL FELLOWSHIP MEAL GUEST SIGN-UPS

John Jenkins made bookmarks for all our hymnals! Thanks John! At sung services from now on, you can mark all hymns in advance. So convenient!
WOMEN'S GROUP EVENT: Apple-picking in Julian on Friday, September 13 at 10:00 a.m. We go to an organic orchard the day before opening day, so we will have the best choice of apples! Bring cash only for bags of apples ($14.00 per bag) and bring a picnic lunch. Ladies who sign up at church will receive an email with all the details. (Or you may email or call the parish office to sign up.)
This year’s Annual Synod will feature The Reverend Canon Dan Alger, Canon for Church Planting in the ACNA, as our Plenary Speaker. We will gather on Friday night for our opening Eucharist so that we might worship together and on Saturday we will provide intensives and workshops on key subjects in hope of equipping lay leaders for ministry in the Local Church.
Sun. Sept. 1
Pentecost 12
8:00 a.m. Said Eucharist
9:00 a.m. Fellowship
Pentecost 12 Lessons
Ecclesiasticus 10:7-18
Psalm 112
Hebrews 13:1-8
Luke 14:1,7-14
Ecclesiasticus 10:7-18 7 Arrogance is hateful to the Lord and to mortals,
and injustice is outrageous to both.
8 Sovereignty passes from nation to nation
on account of injustice and insolence and wealth.*
9 How can dust and ashes be proud?
Even in life the human body decays.*
10 A long illness baffles the physician;*
the king of today will die tomorrow.
11 For when one is dead
he inherits maggots and vermin* and worms.
12 The beginning of human pride is to forsake the Lord;
the heart has withdrawn from its Maker.
13 For the beginning of pride is sin,
and the one who clings to it pours out abominations.
Therefore the Lord brings upon them unheard-of calamities,
and destroys them completely.
14 The Lord overthrows the thrones of rulers,
and enthrones the lowly in their place.
15 The Lord plucks up the roots of the nations,*
and plants the humble in their place.
16 The Lord lays waste the lands of the nations,
and destroys them to the foundations of the earth.
17 He removes some of them and destroys them,
and erases the memory of them from the earth.
18 Pride was not created for human beings,
or violent anger for those born of women.
Psalm 112 1 Halleluyah! How happy is anyone who fears ADONAI, who greatly delights in his mitzvot.2 His descendants will be powerful on earth, a blessed generation of upright people. 3Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness stands forever. 4 To the upright he shines like a light in the dark, merciful, compassionate and righteous. 5 Things go well with the person who is merciful and lends, who conducts his affairs with fairness; 6 for he will never be moved. The righteous will be remembered forever. 7 He will not be frightened by bad news; he remains steady, trusting in ADONAI. 8 His heart is set firm, he will not be afraid, till finally he looks in triumph at his enemies. 9 He distributes freely, he gives to the poor; his righteousness stands forever. His power will be increased honorably. 10 The wicked will be angry when they see this; they will gnash their teeth and waste away, the desires of the wicked will come to nothing.
Hebrews 13:1-8 1 Let brotherly friendship continue; 2 but don't forget to be friendly to outsiders; for in so doing, some people, without knowing it, have entertained angels. 3 Remember those in prison and being mistreated, as if you were in prison with them and undergoing their torture yourselves. 4 Marriage is honorable in every respect; and, in particular, sex within marriage is pure. But God will indeed punish fornicators and adulterers. 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money; and be satisfied with what you have; for God himself has said, "I will never fail you or abandon you." 6 Therefore, we say with confidence, "ADONAI is my helper; I will not be afraid what can a human being do to me?" 7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke God's message to you. Reflect on the results of their way of life, and imitate their trust - 8 Yeshua the Messiah is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Luke 14:1 1 One Shabbat Yeshua went to eat in the home of one of the leading P'rushim, and they were watching him closely.
Luke 14:7-14 7 When Yeshua noticed how the guests were choosing for themselves the best seats at the table, he told them this parable: 8 "When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, don't sit down in the best seat; because if there is someone more important than you who has been invited, 9 the person who invited both of you might come and say to you, `Give this man your place.' Then you will be humiliated as you go to take the least important place. 10 Instead, when you are invited, go and sit in the least important place; so that when the one who invited you comes, he will say to you, `Go on up to a better seat.' Then you will be honored in front of everyone sitting with you. 11 Because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but everyone who humbles himself will be exalted." 12 Yeshua also said to the one who had invited him, "When you give a lunch or a dinner, don't invite your friends, brothers, relatives or rich neighbors; for they may well invite you in return, and that will be your repayment. 13 Instead, when you have a party, invite poor people, disfigured people, the crippled, the blind! 14 How blessed you will be that they have nothing with which to repay you! For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
