Lu Shan, Deacon of the Week

Source of Life and Love, who will find rest in your sanctuary? Who will find refuge under Your wide and wondrous wing? Today, our bones and our voices cry out, “Sanctuario! Dónde está mi sanctuario?” Creator God, you have made a rainbow of people, full of diversity, beauty, and love. People who cry out for sanctuaries where they can hold hands, share life, and be fully human. Creator God, you have made a rainbow of people, full of possibility, power, and imagination. People who cry out for sanctuaries where they can laugh, rest, and live without talk of walls, bans, and deportations. Help us build a house of welcome, a sanctuary of peace, where this rainbow can shine in all its fullness and splendor. Bendito Dios, aquí está Tu sanctuario. Loving God, here within us and among us, is your sanctuary. Amen. Congregation standing. La congregación se pone de pie. Congregational responses in bold.

L ISTENING FOR THE W ORD OF G OD HEBREW LESSON

Genesis/ Génesis 22:1-14 Isaac Wright

1After

these things God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I shall show you.” 3So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac; he cut the wood for the burnt offering, and set out and went to the place in the distance that God had shown him. 4On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place far away. 5Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the boy and I will go over there; we will worship, and then we will come back to you.” 6Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. 7Isaac said to his father Abraham, “Father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” 8Abraham said, “God himself will provide the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them walked on together. 9When they came to the place that God had shown him, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood in order. He bound his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to kill his son. 11But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” 12He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” 13And Abraham looked up and saw a ram, caught in a thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14So Abraham called that place “The LORD will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.” 2He

1Aconteció

después de estas cosas, que probó Dios a Abraham, y le dijo: Abraham. Y él respondió: Heme aquí. 2 Y dijo: Toma ahora tu hijo, tu único, Isaac, a quien amas, y vete a tierra de Moriah, y ofrécelo allí en holocausto sobre uno de los montes que yo te diré. 3 Y Abraham se levantó muy de mañana, y enalbardó su asno, y tomó consigo dos siervos suyos, y a Isaac su hijo; y cortó leña para el holocausto, y se levantó, y fue al lugar que Dios le dijo. 4 Al tercer día alzó Abraham sus ojos, y vio el lugar de lejos. 5 Entonces dijo Abraham a sus siervos: Esperad aquí con el asno, y yo y el muchacho iremos hasta allí y adoraremos, y volveremos a vosotros. 6 Y tomó Abraham la leña del holocausto, y la puso sobre Isaac su hijo, y él tomó en su mano el fuego y el cuchillo; y fueron

ambos juntos. 7 Entonces habló Isaac a Abraham su padre, y dijo: Padre mío. Y él respondió: Heme aquí, mi hijo. Y él dijo: He aquí el fuego y la leña; mas ¿dónde está el cordero para el holocausto? 8 Y respondió Abraham: Dios se proveerá de cordero para el holocausto, hijo mío. E iban juntos. 9 Y cuando llegaron al lugar que Dios le había dicho, edificó allí Abraham un altar, y compuso la leña, y ató a Isaac su hijo, y lo puso en el altar sobre la leña. 10 Y extendió Abraham su mano y tomó el cuchillo para degollar a su hijo. 11 Entonces el ángel de Jehová le dio voces desde el cielo, y dijo: Abraham, Abraham. Y él respondió: Heme aquí. 12 Y dijo: No extiendas tu mano sobre el muchacho, ni le hagas nada; porque ya conozco que temes a Dios, por cuanto no me rehusaste tu hijo, tu único. 13 Entonces alzó Abraham sus ojos y miró, y he aquí a sus espaldas un carnero trabado en un zarzal por sus cuernos; y fue Abraham y tomó el carnero, y lo ofreció en holocausto en lugar de su hijo. 14 Y llamó Abraham el nombre de aquel lugar, Jehová proveerá. Por tanto se dice hoy: En el monte de Jehová será provisto. PSALTER We read responsively and sing the Refrain together.

Psalm 13 Emily Honzel, Cantor

O Lord, hear my prayer. O Lord, hear my prayer. When I call, answer me. O Lord, hear my prayer. O Lord hear my prayer. Come, and listen to me. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I bear pain in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all day long? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? Refrain. Consider and answer me, O Lord my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death. My enemy will say: I have prevailed. My foes will rejoice because I am shaken. Refrain. But I trust in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because God has dealt bountifully with me. Refrain. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

Alleluia Jacques Berthier (1923-1994) Emily Honzel, Cantor

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Whoever welcomes you, welcomes me. Whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! (Matthew 10, adapted) GOSPEL LESSON

Mateo/ Matthew 10:40-42 Jared Vazquez Cruz

40El

que a vosotros recibe, a mí me recibe; y el que me recibe a mí, recibe al que me envió. 41 El que recibe a un profeta por cuanto es profeta, recompensa de profeta recibirá; y el que recibe a un justo por cuanto es justo, recompensa de justo recibirá. 42 Y cualquiera que dé a uno de estos pequeñitos un vaso de agua fría solamente, por cuanto es discípulo, de cierto os digo que no perderá su recompensa. 40Whoever

welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous; 42and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple—truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward. 41Whoever

This is the Gospel of Christ. Thanks be to God. PRAYERS FOR CALVARY AND LORD’S PRAYER Reverend Sarratt After the Pastoral Prayer, we invite everyone to pray the Lord’s Prayer in your native language. Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Padre nuestro que estás en los cielos, santificado sea tu nombre. Venga tu reino. Hágase tu voluntad, como en el cielo, así también en la tierra. El pan nuestro de cada día, dánoslo hoy. Y perdónanos nuestras deudas, como también nosotros perdonamos a nuestros deudores. Y no nos metas en tentación, mas líbranos del mal; porque tuyo es el reino, y el poder, y la gloria, por todos los siglos. Amén. SERMON

Reverend Sarratt

At God’s table of justice, everyone has a place and no one is turned away. Here strangers are welcomed as friends, the poor sit alongside the rich, and the upside-down kin-dom of God is revealed. At God’s table of abundance, a banquet of righteousness and liberation is set for all. Here the powerless are heard, the outcast are showered with honor, and the inside-out kin-dom of God is revealed. At God’s table of life all peoples know peace, and creation flourishes. Here the hopeless are nourished with possibility, the complacent are transformed into advocates for change. Here in our very midst, the kin-dom of God is revealed.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Reverend Zehyoue

God of all peoples, whose reign extends around our world and beyond, we grieve that your church—which shares one Spirit, one faith, one hope, and one calling—has become a broken communion in a broken world. The one body spans all time, place, race, and language. But in our fear we have fled from one another and have fought one another. In our pride we have mistaken our part and our truth for the whole. Yet we marvel how, in your grace, you gather up the broken and scattered pieces to do your work, to give us hope, to bless us with joy. Forgive us our sin, and help us ever to seek the unity and peace of the body of Christ, for Christ’s sake and that of this world. Amen. WORDS OF ASSURANCE

Reverend Zehyoue

Hear the Good News: Jesus Christ is our peace. Those who were divided, he has made one. Christ reconciles us into one people, making us one body. So let us live as we were made to be— one people, reconciled. Yes, we will live as Christ has made us—one people, one body, reconciled. Thanks be to God! GIVING THANKS
