Propers for the Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity.
The Book of Common Prayer 1928.
The Collect.
ALMIGHTY and merciful God, of whose only gift it cometh that thy faithful people do unto thee true and laudable service; Grant, we beseech thee, that we may so faithfully serve thee in this life, that we fail not finally to attain thy heavenly promises; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Epistle. Galatians iii. 16.
TO Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Where fore then serveth the law? It was added be cause of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
The Gospel. Luke x. 23.
BLESSED are the eyes which see the things that ye see: for I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Announcements for the Week of August 25th, 2024
If you are visiting us: Welcome to Christ Church Anglican, Southern Pines! Thank you for being with us. We are very pleased to have you with us, and hope that your worship here is a blessing to you. Please sign the guest book on the table in the narthex, and provide appropriate contact information. Include your email address in order to be placed on our parish email list: you won’t be bombarded with mail, but it’s a good way to keep in touch. And may God bless you!
Security Reminder: Please remember to lock your car doors before you come into the church, and do not leave valuables in your car – especially if visible! Thank you. Also, please check your license plates to make sure that you have not inadvertently “expired”! 🙂
Fellowship Meals: We are very grateful for all those who have been contributing to our fellowship meal after the service, and we invite anyone who wishes to share a favorite meal or dish with our fellow-parishioners to sign up on the list hanging next to the back counter in our fellowship area.
It is encouraged to have several people sign up and provide a “potluck style” meal to make it easier on individuals, and more cost-effective. However, those who wist to provide all courses for a meal are always welcomed and appreciated.
And if anyone wishes to donate toward the cost of plates, napkins, flatware, salad dressings, drinks, or other incidentals, there will be a jar (or jars) on the back counter for that purpose. Many thanks to all!
Fresh Eggs: A reminder that fresh, home-raised eggs are still available from one of our esteemed members, Michele Burdick, who requests a donation to the church of $5/dozen. Thanks, Michele!
Communion Reminder: Ladies are asked to please remember to remove lipstick before drinking from the chalice.
Holy Days for the Week of Sunday, August 25th:
