Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name.

Prayer of tHe dayLeader: Almighty and ever-living God,All: Your mercy delights us, and the world longs for your loving care. Hear the cries of everyone in need, and turn our hearts to love our neighbors with the love of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen

lesson Galatians 5:13-15For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” If, however, you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

Psalm 96:1-4Leader: O sing to the Lord a new song; All: sing to the lord, all the earth.Leader: Sing to the Lord, bless his name; All: tell of his salvation from day to day.Leader: Declare his glory among the nations, All: his marvelous works among all the peoples.Leader: For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; All: he is to be revered above all gods.

aPostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, wascrucified,died,andwasburied. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen

Holy gosPel Luke 10:25-37All (sung): Glory to you, O Lord.

Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the law? What do you read there?” He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” And he said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.” But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them.

Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.’ Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

Leader: The gospel of the Lord. All (sung): Praise to you, O Christ.

Music TodayBarbary Coast Dixieland Band: Fred Richardson - Clarinet/Vocal; Jim ten Bensel - Trombone/Vocal; Russ Peterson - Trumpet/Trombone/ Flute/Vocal; Tom Andrews - Drums; Steve Pikal - String Bass/Trombone; Dick Petersen – Banjo/Guitar

In 1984, the band started playing Dixieland church services for their own churches. Over more than 30 years they have regularly provided this musical ministry involving over 40 Sundays each year. Their mission is to “Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord,” and their music provides an uplifting experience for both the musicians and the congregation. This will be their final appearance at St. Andrew’s as the group plans to retire at the end of this season. Their CDs are available for sale in the Atrium.

“ABOUT THE MUSIC”JAZZ, which is the first music America can truly call her own, has “Black” roots. The slaves brought into this country from Africa, Spirituals, as we now call them, that are intended to “move the spirit.” The music itself was originally based on African rhythms, and eventually evolved into the all-encompassing term “Jazz” or “Dixieland”, which we hear today. In order to understand it, a study of its component parts follows: Imagine a song where the lead voice carries the melody line. The trumpet or cornet plays the “lead”. Lower voices will harmonize or improvise a counter melody which is captured by the trombone. Higher voices compliment the upper register, contrasting the original theme. Traditionally a clarinet makes these notes. Add a rhythm section and you have a band. Early Black musicians took these vocal ideas and played them on the instruments mentioned above. Because these people had no formal music training, they played by ear. Jazz could be called “SPONTANEOUS IMPROVISATION.” You play what you ”feel” paying attention to what other musicians are doing. Not everybody can be a jazz musician and not every musician can play jazz. But the fundamental rules for a Jazz Band really apply to living a Christian Life: The band exists for the good of all its members. Everyone listens to each other and plays to compliment what the other members are playing. There are no super-stars and a mutual respect for the ability of each player is evident. What is being stated musically comes from the heart. The instruments are an extension of each musician. If the music sounds good and seems to “Swing” by itself, then there is harmony Remember the song: “I’D LIKE TO TEACH THE WORLD TO SING IN PERFECT HARMONY?”
