You thought you’d found a friend to take you out of this place Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace It's a beautiful day, the sky falls And you feel like it's a beautiful day It’s a beautiful day Don’t let it get away You’re on the road but you’ve got no destination You’re in the mud, in the maze of her imagination You love this town even if it doesn’t ring true You’ve been all over and it’s been all over you It's a beautiful day Don’t let it get away It's a beautiful day Don’t let it get away Touch me, take me to that other place Teach me, I know I’m not a hopeless case See the world in green and blue See China right in front of you See the canyons broken by cloud See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out See the bedouin fires at night See the oil fields at first light See the bird with a leaf in her mouth After the flood all the colours came out It was a beautiful day Don’t let it get away A beautiful day Touch me, take me to that other place Reach me, I know I’m not a hopeless case What you don’t have you don’t need it now What you don’t know you can feel it somehow What you don’t have you don’t need it now You don’t need it now, you don’t need it now Beautiful day Opening Acclamation Celebrant: Blessed are you, holy and living God. People: You come to your people and set them free. Collect of the Day Grant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things, but to love things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things that are passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Song of Praise: Jesus Christ Jesus was a man who travelled through the land A hard working man and brave Well he said to the rich: give your money to the poor Well they laid Jesus Christ in his grave Halle - hallelujah Halle - hallelujah Halle - hallelujah Well they laid Jesus Christ in his grave Well he went to the preacher he went to the law He told them all the same He said: sell all your jewelry and give it to the poor But they laid Jesus Christ in his grave Halle - hallelujah Halle - hallelujah Halle - hallelujah Well they laid Jesus Christ in his grave When Jesus came to town, all the working folks around Believed what he did say Well the bankers and the preachers, they nailed him on a cross And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave And poor working people, they followed him around They sung and shouted gay Well the cops and the soldiers, they nailed him in the air And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave Halle - hallelujah Halle - hallelujah Halle - hallelujah Well they laid Jesus Christ in his grave Halle - hallelujah Halle - hallelujah Halle - hallelujah Well they laid Jesus Christ in his grave Well this song was written in New York City Of rich man, preacher and slave Well if Jesus was to preach what he preached in Galilee They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave Halle - hallelujah Halle - hallelujah Halle - hallelujah Well they laid Jesus Christ in his grave Gospel: Mark 9:30-37 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark. Glory to you Lord Christ. Jesus and his disciples went on from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it; for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of Man is to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and three days after being killed, he will rise again." But they did not understand what he was saying and were afraid to ask him. Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing about on the way?" But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest. He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, "Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all." Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, "Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me." The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Lord Christ.

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.

I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread Now I stand accused of the things I've said. When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame. Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town. Used to make love under a red sunset I was making promises I was soon to forget. She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown But I left her standing before love came to town. I ran into a juke-joint when I heard a guitar scream The notes were turning blue, I was dazed and in a dream. As the music played I saw my life turn around That was the day before love came to town. When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame. Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town. (repeat) I was there when they crucified my Lord I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword. I threw the dice when they pierced his side But I've seen love conquer the great divide. When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame. Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town. The Peace May the peace of the Lord be always with you And also with you Tonight’s offering benefits and for their work toward the Millennium Development Goals.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give him thanks and praise. Celebrant It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. For with your co-eternal Son and Holy Spirit, you are one God, one Lord, in Trinity of Persons and in Unity of Being; and we celebrate the one and equal glory of you, O Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. The Celebrant continues We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life. On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.” After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.” Therefore, according to his command, O Father, Celebrant and People We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory; And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine. We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation. 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. AMEN.
