Friday E-UpdateFriday, March 26, 2021.Preparing for PALM SUNDAY, Year B. Dear Friends, This Sunday, March 28th, is PALM SUDAY, Year B. Do join us on YouTube! Like a regular Sunday, it premiers at 8:15 a.m. and then is available, after that hour service, at any time. If you open YouTube and get a picture listing an old date, there is likely a small circle of stained glass on the lower left. Push on that and it will open a whole list of former services of ours, including the most recent. Remember, when you find the current Sunday Service, check for the Subscribe symbol. Push that. There is no cost for this, however it is very helpful. Then, if you open YouTube, you can push on the bell symbol and be connected to the most recent Trinity St. Paul’s video, among those that pop up. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeXgupN2yDCbS--OF8CBoXw Attached are two versions of the leaflet (whichever is easier for you to print) for this Sunday, March 28th, at Trinity St. Paul’s. Included here below are the Collect and Scripture readings for this Sunday. Please drink in the nourishment of the Scripture and continue to pray for our Parish. THE LITURGY OF THE WORD. This Sunday,March 28th, PALM SUNDAY, Year B. Collect of the DayCelebrant: Let us pray. Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.People: Amen.PART ONE: LITURGY OF THE WORDWe Hear The Scripture Proclaimed And Related To Our Lives. Hebrew Scripture Reading: Isaiah 50:4 –9aLector: A Reading from the Book of Isaiah.The Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens — wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught. The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I did not turn backward. I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I did not hide my face from insult and spitting. The Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame; he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me. It is the Lord God who helps me; who will declare me guilty? Lector: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God. Psalm 31:9-16 9 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; * my eye is consumed with sorrow, and also my throat and my belly.10 For my life is wasted with grief, and my years with sighing; * my strength fails me because of affliction, and my bones are consumed.Refrain11 I have become a reproach to all my enemies and even to my neighbors, a dismay to those of my acquaintance; * when they see me in the street they avoid me.12 I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; * I am as useless as a broken pot.Refrain13 For I have heard the whispering of the crowd; fear is all around; * they put their heads together against me; they plot to take my life.14 But as for me, I have trusted in you, O Lord. * I have said, “You are my God.Refrain15 My times are in your hand; * rescue me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.16 Make your face to shine upon your servant, * and in your loving-kindness save me.”.Refrain Christian Scripture Reading: Philippians 2:5-11Lector: A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Philippians.Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death — even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Lector: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God. The Passion Gospel: Mark 15:1-39 (Short reading, New International Version)(The responses before and after the Gospel are omitted. Please join in the parts marked Crowd. A few moments of silence are kept at the death of Jesus.)Narrator: The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. Mark. Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, reached a decision. They bound Jesus, led him away and handed him overto Pilate. Pilate: "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus: "You have said so." Narrator: The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, Pilate: "Aren't you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of." Narrator: But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed. Now it was the custom at the Festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did. Pilate: "Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?" Narrator: Pilate knew that it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.Pilate: "What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?" Crowd: "Crucify him!" Pilate: "Why? What crime has he committed?" Narrator: But they shouted all the louder, Crowd: "Crucify him!" Narrator: So, wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified. The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. And they began to call outto him, Soldiers (Crowd): "Hail, king of the Jews!" Narrator: Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him. A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means "the place of the skull"). [Please Stand.] Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get. It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS. They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, Bystanders (Crowd): "So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, come down from the cross and save yourself!" Narrator: In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. Chief Priests (Crowd): He saved others, but he can't save himself! Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Narrator: Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him. And at noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, Jesus: "Eloi Eloi, lema sabachthani?" Narrator: Which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" When some of those standing near heard this, they said, Bystanders (Crowd): "Listen, he's calling Elijah." Narrator: Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. Bystanders (Crowd): "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down." Narrator: With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. (Please kneel. A few moments of silence is kept at the death of Jesus. Stand as the Celebrant does.)The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, Centurion: "Surely this man was the Son of God!"

A NOTE FROM OUR PARISH TREASURER:Dear Church Family,We have the Lord's promise that, as we give, he will supply our own needs through his riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).During this very difficult time, we ask that you please continue to give your tithes and offerings. While this is a time of adjustment for us all, the bills of the church and our overhead expenses continue to be a weight on us. We are dependent on the financial support that is made possible largely through your generous contributions. Kindly send by mail or drop it off in the church’s mail box (directly within the glass cloister). Please email me or the office to let us know if you do drop off a check so we may confirm receipt. If you already participate in online banking with your bank, you also have the option to send your contribution through that outlet using the church’s mailing address and the bank will mail the check on your behalf.Let's continue to keep our eyes on the Lord and to love and pray for one another.In Christ’s Love,Adesuwa Bajulaiye, Treasureradebajulai@optonline.net
