| - | Let us pray. | 6:25 |
| O God, our father whose son, our Lord Jesus Christ | 6:27 | |
| have given us in this wonderful sacrament, | 6:32 | |
| the memorial of his passion. | 6:35 | |
| Grant us so to reverence | 6:39 | |
| the sacred mysteries of his body and blood | 6:40 | |
| that we've ever perceived within ourselves | 6:44 | |
| the fruit of his redemption, | 6:46 | |
| who now liveth and reigneth with thee | 6:49 | |
| in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. | 6:51 | |
| Congregation | Amen. | 6:56 |
| - | The word of God written in the first letter | 7:08 |
| to the Thessalonians. | 7:11 | |
| For this reason brethren, | 7:14 | |
| in all our distress and affliction, | 7:16 | |
| we have been comforted about you through your faith | 7:20 | |
| for now we live if you stand fast in the Lord. | 7:24 | |
| For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you, | 7:30 | |
| for all the joy, which we feel for your sake before our God | 7:34 | |
| praying earnestly night and day | 7:40 | |
| that we may see you face to face, | 7:44 | |
| and supply what is lacking in your faith. | 7:47 | |
| Now may our God and father himself, | 7:51 | |
| and our Lord Jesus Christ direct our way to you. | 7:54 | |
| And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love | 8:00 | |
| to one another and to all men as we do to you, | 8:04 | |
| so that he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness | 8:10 | |
| before our God and father at the coming | 8:16 | |
| of our Lord Jesus Christ with his saints. | 8:19 | |
| Here endeth the epistle. | 8:24 | |
| (energetic organ music) | 8:26 | |
| (choir sings) | 9:20 | |
| - | The holy gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, | 11:26 |
| according to Saint Matthew. | 11:28 | |
| All | Glory be to thee, O Lord. | 11:31 |
| - | Jesus left the temple and was going away | 11:35 |
| when his disciples came to point out to him, | 11:38 | |
| the buildings of the temple. | 11:41 | |
| But he answered them, | 11:43 | |
| "You see all these, do you not, | 11:45 | |
| truly I say to you, there will not be left here | 11:48 | |
| one stone upon another that will not be thrown down." | 11:51 | |
| As he sat on the Mount of Olives, | 11:57 | |
| the disciples came to him privately saying, | 11:59 | |
| "Tell us, when will this be and what will be the sign | 12:03 | |
| of your coming and of the close of the age?" | 12:08 | |
| And Jesus answered them, | 12:12 | |
| "Take he that no one leads you astray, | 12:14 | |
| for many will come in my name saying, | 12:18 | |
| 'I am the Christ' | 12:21 | |
| and they will lead many astray. | 12:23 | |
| And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. | 12:26 | |
| See that you are not alarmed for this must take place, | 12:29 | |
| but the end is not yet. | 12:34 | |
| For nation will rise against nation, | 12:36 | |
| and kingdom against kingdom. | 12:39 | |
| And there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. | 12:42 | |
| All this is but the beginning of the birth pains. | 12:46 | |
| Then they will deliver you up to tribulation , | 12:50 | |
| and put you to death. | 12:53 | |
| And you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. | 12:55 | |
| And then many will fall away and betray one another, | 13:00 | |
| and hate one another. | 13:05 | |
| And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. | 13:07 | |
| And because wickedness is multiplied, | 13:11 | |
| most men's love will grow cold. | 13:14 | |
| But he who endures to the end will be saved. | 13:18 | |
| And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached | 13:22 | |
| throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations. | 13:25 | |
| And then the end will come." | 13:30 | |
| The gospel of the Lord. | 13:33 | |
| Congregation | Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. | 13:36 |
| - | In the name of God, father, son, and Holy Spirit, amen. | 13:39 |
| I would like to tell you a story this morning. | 14:04 | |
| It is a story about a little boy whose name is Richard. | 14:09 | |
| And it is a story that comes from an Episcopal church | 14:14 | |
| in Huntsville, Alabama. | 14:19 | |
| Richard was a member of the second grade class | 14:24 | |
| at St. Thomas Church. | 14:28 | |
| He got along relatively well with the members of his class. | 14:32 | |
| The other boys and girls liked him and appreciated him. | 14:38 | |
| But there was one thing that was different about Richard. | 14:43 | |
| He was retarded. | 14:47 | |
| And so there were times when the teachers and the other boys | 14:51 | |
| and girls had to wait for him to catch up. | 14:54 | |
| But he always managed to keep up with them | 14:59 | |
| even if he was a little slow. | 15:01 | |
| On this particular Sunday, | 15:07 | |
| a lot of work had gone into the plans for this class. | 15:10 | |
| You see it was Easter, and the teachers wanted | 15:15 | |
| to especially celebrate that day in a special way | 15:17 | |
| with their boys and girls. | 15:21 | |
| They thought and thought about what they could do. | 15:25 | |
| Should they retell the beautiful Easter story again | 15:30 | |
| for the boys and girls? | 15:33 | |
| Should they simply reflect with the class | 15:35 | |
| on what the day already meant to them? | 15:37 | |
| Should they have an Easter egg hunt and a party? | 15:41 | |
| All of these things went through the minds of the teachers | 15:47 | |
| as they tried to decide what would be the best way | 15:50 | |
| to spend that hour with their students. | 15:54 | |
| Finally, after a much thought and prayer, | 16:01 | |
| the decision was made to do something a little different. | 16:04 | |
| The teachers gathered enough of the plastic containers | 16:08 | |
| that legs ladies hose come in | 16:10 | |
| so that every member of the class could have one. | 16:14 | |
| These were different colors | 16:18 | |
| and shaped very much like Easter eggs, | 16:20 | |
| except that they were of course | 16:23 | |
| larger than most Easter eggs. | 16:24 | |
| Each boy and girl was asked to go out into the church yard | 16:28 | |
| to get something that represented that day to them. | 16:32 | |
| St. Thomas Church was in a large wooded plot | 16:38 | |
| where there were many exciting natural possibilities. | 16:41 | |
| Very quickly all of the boys and girls scattered, | 16:47 | |
| including Richard to find that special item | 16:51 | |
| for that special day. | 16:56 | |
| After about 30 minutes, one by one, | 17:00 | |
| each of the boys and girls began to return | 17:03 | |
| to share what he or she had found. | 17:05 | |
| Each one came into the class, holding proudly his egg | 17:10 | |
| with his secret inside. | 17:13 | |
| Each seemed so poor least and could not wait | 17:17 | |
| to show and tell its contents. | 17:19 | |
| One by one, each second grader opened his container | 17:24 | |
| and displayed what was inside. | 17:28 | |
| Some of them told why the contents were especially important | 17:32 | |
| on this Easter Day. | 17:35 | |
| Some others had items that were unexplainable, | 17:37 | |
| only that they were important to the finder. | 17:40 | |
| There was a butterfly and there were flowers. | 17:44 | |
| there was a rock, and there was a pine cone. | 17:48 | |
| One by one, each boy and girl displayed his Easter symbol. | 17:53 | |
| And finally, it was time for Richard to open his egg. | 18:01 | |
| When he did the teachers cried inside | 18:07 | |
| because Richard's egg was empty. | 18:10 | |
| Oh, Richard did not understand the exercise. | 18:15 | |
| Oh, Richard did not have enough time to find something. | 18:19 | |
| Oh, Richard needed more of their help, | 18:23 | |
| and they had been insensitive to his need. | 18:24 | |
| But then Richard spoke. | 18:30 | |
| Very quietly and hesitantly he said, | 18:33 | |
| "He is not here, He has risen." | 18:41 | |
| "He is not here, He has risen." | 18:49 | |
| And the teachers realized that Richard had perhaps | 18:54 | |
| better understood the meaning of Easter Day, | 18:57 | |
| and how that day and every Sunday | 18:59 | |
| speaks to the lives of those of us as we live them each day. | 19:02 | |
| A year later Richard got very sick. | 19:10 | |
| As a matter of fact there seemed to be little | 19:14 | |
| that anyone could do for him | 19:16 | |
| And he died. | 19:19 | |
| But somehow in all of the sadness that surrounded his death, | 19:22 | |
| there was also great joy for what he had contributed | 19:26 | |
| to the lives of so many people in his brief nine years. | 19:30 | |
| Richard's class was asked to sit together | 19:37 | |
| at his funeral at St. Thomas Church. | 19:39 | |
| This seemed to be rather hard to some people, | 19:43 | |
| but most of the boys and girls wanted to be there. | 19:47 | |
| And it was a joyous celebration of the life, | 19:51 | |
| death and resurrection of a little boy. | 19:56 | |
| And at the end of the celebration, | 20:03 | |
| each of the members of his church school class | 20:07 | |
| went up to the altar and placed there now empty | 20:11 | |
| Easter eggs there. | 20:16 | |
| St. Paul says in the eighth chapter | 20:25 | |
| of his letter to the Romans, | 20:27 | |
| "We are God's children, and if children then heirs." | 20:30 | |
| We see God's heirs and Christ fellow heirs | 20:38 | |
| if we share his sufferings now | 20:42 | |
| in order to share his splendor hereafter. | 20:45 | |
| For I reckon that the sufferings we now endure, | 20:50 | |
| bear are no comparison with the splendor, | 20:53 | |
| which is in store for us. | 20:56 | |
| For the created universe waits with eager expectation | 21:00 | |
| for God's sons and daughters to be revealed. | 21:03 | |
| It was made a victim of frustration, | 21:09 | |
| not by its own choice, but because of him who made it so | 21:12 | |
| yet always there is hope, amen. | 21:20 | |
| And now to God the father, God the son, God the Holy Spirit, | 21:29 | |
| we ascribe as his most justly do Almighty majesty dominion | 21:31 | |
| and power henceforth world without him. | 21:35 | |
| Congregation | Amen. | 21:39 |
| ALL | I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, | 21:41 |
| maker of heaven and earth, | 21:45 | |
| and of all things visible and invisible, | 21:47 | |
| and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God | 21:50 | |
| begotten of his father before all worlds, | 21:55 | |
| God of God, light of light, very God of very God, | 21:58 | |
| begotten not made, being of one substance with the father, | 22:03 | |
| by whom all the were made, | 22:08 | |
| who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven | 22:11 | |
| and was incarnate by the holy ghost of the Virgin Mary | 22:15 | |
| and was made man, and was crucified also for us | 22:19 | |
| under Pontius Pilate. | 22:23 | |
| He suffered and was buried. | 22:25 | |
| And the third day he rose again, according to the scriptures | 22:27 | |
| and ascended into heaven. | 22:31 | |
| And seated on the right hand of the Father. | 22:33 | |
| And he shall come again with glory to judge | 22:36 | |
| both the quick and the dead whose kingdom shall have no end. | 22:39 | |
| And I believe in the holy ghost, the Lord and giver | 22:43 | |
| of life who proceeded from the father and the son. | 22:47 | |
| With the father and the son together is worshiped | 22:51 | |
| and glorified, who speak by the prophets. | 22:54 | |
| And I believe one Catholic and apostolic church. | 22:58 | |
| I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. | 23:02 | |
| And I look for the resurrection of the dead | 23:05 | |
| and the life of the world to come, amen. | 23:08 | |
| - | Father we pray for the holy Catholic Church. | 23:14 |
| Congregation | That we all may be one. | 23:18 |
| - | Grant that every member of the church may truly | 23:19 |
| and humbly serve thee. | 23:24 | |
| Congregation | That thy name may be glorified | 23:26 |
| by the people. | 23:28 | |
| - | We pray for all bishops, priests and deacons. | 23:30 |
| Congregation | That may faithfully serve upon ministers. | 23:34 |
| - | We pray for all who govern | 23:38 |
| and hold authority in the nations of the world. | 23:39 | |
| Congregation | That there may be peace | 23:43 |
| and justice on earth. | 23:44 | |
| - | May we seek to do thy will in all that we undertake. | 23:46 |

| - | Have compassion on those who suffer | 23:54 |
| from any grief or trouble. | 23:56 | |
| Congregation | That they may be delivered | 23:59 |
| from their distress. | 24:00 | |
| - | Grant rest eternal to the departed. | 24:02 |
| Congregation | Let light perpetual shine upon them. | 24:05 |
| - | We praise thee for all by saints | 24:08 |
| who have entered into joy. | 24:10 | |
| Congregation | May we also come to share | 24:12 |
| thy heavenly kingdom. | 24:14 | |
| - | Let us pray for our own needs and those of others. | 24:17 |
| Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom | 24:40 | |
| who knowsest our necessities before we ask, | 24:43 | |
| in our ignorance in asking we beseech thee | 24:47 | |
| to have compassion upon our infirmities | 24:51 | |
| and those things, which for our unworthiness, we dare not, | 24:54 | |
| and for our blindness cannot ask, | 24:59 | |
| mercifully give us for the sake of thy son, | 25:02 | |
| Jesus Christ, our Lord. | 25:05 | |
| Congregation | Amen. | 25:08 |
| - | Ye who do truly and earnestly repent you of your sins, | 25:09 |
| and are in love and charity with your neighbors, | 25:14 | |
| and intend to lead the new life, | 25:17 | |
| following the commandments of God. | 25:19 | |
| And walking from hence forth in his holy ways, | 25:22 | |
| draw near with faith and make your humble confession | 25:26 | |
| to Almighty God, devoutly kneeling. | 25:30 | |
| - | Almighty God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, | 25:36 |
| maker of all things, judge of all men. | 25:39 | |
| We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness | 25:43 | |
| which we from time to time | 25:47 | |
| most grievously have committed | 25:49 | |
| by thought, word, and deed against the divine majesty, | 25:51 | |
| provoking most justly via wrath and indignation against us. | 25:56 | |
| We do earnestly repent | 26:01 | |
| and are hardly sorry for these our misdoings. | 26:03 | |
| The remembrance of them is grievous unto us. | 26:06 | |
| The burden of them is intolerable. | 26:09 | |
| Have mercy upon us. | 26:12 | |
| Have mercy upon us most merciful father, | 26:14 | |
| for thy son, our Lord Jesus Christ's sake, | 26:17 | |
| forgive us all that has passed | 26:21 | |
| and grant we may ever hereafter serve and please thee | 26:23 | |
| in newness of life, to the honor | 26:27 | |
| and glory of thy name through Jesus Christ, our Lord, amen. | 26:29 | |
| Almighty God, our heavenly father who have | 26:36 | |
| his great mercy have promised forgiveness of sins | 26:39 | |
| to all those who have hearty, repentance | 26:43 | |
| and true faith turned unto him, have mercy upon you | 26:46 | |
| pardon and deliver you from all your sins | 26:50 | |
| confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, | 26:54 | |
| and bring you to everlasting life | 26:58 | |
| through Jesus Christ our Lord. | 27:00 | |
| Congregation | Amen. | 27:02 |
| - | The peace of the Lord be always with you. | 27:04 |
| Congregation | And with your spirit. | 27:07 |
| - | I wanna thank the administration | 27:54 |
| and those responsible for this beautiful edifice | 27:56 | |
| for letting us year after year share it with them | 28:02 | |
| in this grand and glorious service. | 28:08 | |
| I also want to express my appreciation | 28:11 | |
| to the Reverend John Jessup, | 28:13 | |
| the youth commission and all who volunteered | 28:15 | |
| to handle the details of this service. | 28:18 | |
| We owe a particular debt of gratitude | 28:22 | |
| to Father Bruce Shepard, | 28:25 | |
| who is chaplain here at Duke University, | 28:27 | |
| who year after year is consumed | 28:29 | |
| with children and fried chicken, | 28:33 | |
| and makes the arrangements for this service. | 28:36 | |
| He already has it arranged for next year, | 28:40 | |
| and the date is November the 6th. | 28:43 | |
| So Bruce stays one year ahead of himself. | 28:46 | |
| I'm grateful to our organist, the choir, | 28:49 | |
| the young people's choir from the Chapel of The Cross, | 28:54 | |
| and the young people who are sharing | 28:57 | |
| with them from St Titus Church in Durham. | 28:59 | |
| This is began years ago as an Acolyte Festival, | 29:03 | |
| at which we prepared for 75 people to attend. | 29:09 | |
| And the first year there were over 900. | 29:14 | |
| It has slowly become and is developing into, | 29:17 | |
| not only an acolyte but a youth festival. | 29:22 | |
| I think this is important. | 29:26 | |
| I think it is important to you to be here. | 29:29 | |
| It is important to us that you are here. | 29:32 | |
| It is important to the church as a whole, that you are here. | 29:35 | |
| And it is important to everyone to have this witness | 29:40 | |
| of as many young people as are in this church today | 29:45 | |
| who stand here in the name of the faith, | 29:52 | |
| which they profess as Episcopalians | 29:55 | |
| to share at the Lord's table | 29:58 | |
| in the breaking of bread and the pouring of wine. | 30:00 | |
| More important, it's good for your soul. | 30:04 | |
| And I rejoice. | 30:08 | |
| And it's good for my soul just to see you here, | 30:09 | |
| and to share in the service with you. | 30:12 | |
| I'm supposed to make an announcement. | 30:17 | |
| You will be directed by the ushers | 30:21 | |
| to the stations where you will make your communion. | 30:24 | |
| To do good and to distribute forget not | 30:28 | |
| for with such sacrifices, God is well pleased. | 30:30 | |

| and our bounden duty that we should at all times | 38:30 | |
| and in all places give thanks unto thee, O Lord | 38:34 | |
| Holy Father, Almighty, everlasting God. | 38:37 | |
| Therefore with angels and archangels, | 38:42 | |
| and with all the company of heaven, | 38:45 | |
| we laud and magnify thy glorious name | 38:48 | |

| Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. | 39:43 | |
| Congregation | Hosanna in the highest. | 39:47 |
| - | Sorry father, I have sinned. | 40:22 |
| - | All glory be to the almighty God | 40:30 |
| our heavenly father, father of thy tender mercy | 40:32 | |
| didst give thine only son, Jesus Christ to suffer death | 40:36 | |
| upon the cross for our redemption. | 40:39 | |
| Who made there by his one oblation of himself once offered, | 40:42 | |
| a full, perfect and sacrifice oblation and satisfaction | 40:47 | |
| for the sins of the whole world. | 40:51 | |
| And did institute and in his holy gospel | 40:57 | |
| command us to continue a perpetual memory | 40:59 | |
| of that his precious death and sacrifice | 41:02 | |
| until his coming again. | 41:04 | |
| For in the night in which he was betrayed, he took bread. | 41:09 | |
| And when He had given thanks, | 41:13 | |
| He break it, and gave it to his disciple saying, | 41:19 | |
| "Take, eat, this is my body, | 41:24 | |
| which is given for you do this in remembrance of me." | 41:28 | |
| Likewise, after supper he took the cup. | 41:47 | |
| And when he had given thanks, | 41:53 | |
