About Worship Today
- This period in the Church year is known as “The Season after Pentecost” or “Ordinary Time.” The term “ordinary” refers to how the New Testament passages are generally read in order or in sequence, as opposed to being arranged by specific theme as in other seasons. During this season the Gospel passages focus on Jesus’ ministry, how he is revealed to the world as the Christ, and what he teaches to his followers. In Year A (the first in a three-year cycle: A, B & C) most of the Gospel passages are from the Gospel according to Matthew. When Track 1 is used, the Old Testament Lesson is read in thematic sequence throughout the summer, in Year A we will read from the Pentateuch (first five books of the Bible). The New Testament Lesson is independent of these readings and is almost always taken from one of the Letters in the New Testament that reflects the common life and mission of the first Christian community.
- Today we celebrate the Baptism of Nkiru Joelle Alimole. Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ's Body the Church. The bond which God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble. Holy Baptism is the sacrament by which God adopts us as his children and makes us members of Christ's Body, the Church, and inheritors of the kingdom of God. The outward and visible sign in Baptism is water, in which the person is baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. The inward and spiritual grace in Baptism is union with Christ in his death and resurrection, birth into God's family the Church, forgiveness of sins, and new life in the Holy Spirit. It is required that we renounce Satan, repent of our sins, and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Infants are baptized so that they can share citizenship in the Covenant, membership in Christ, and redemption by God. Promises are made for them by their parents and sponsors, who guarantee that the infants will be brought up within the Church, to know Christ and be able to follow him. Holy Baptism is appropriately administered within the Eucharist as the chief service on a Sunday or other feast.
- The Holy Eucharist, the principal act of Christian worship on the Lord's Day and other major Feasts, and Daily Morning and Evening Prayer, as set forth in the Book of Common Prayer, 1979, are the regular services appointed for public worship in the Episcopal Church. At Christ Church we celebrate the Holy Eucharist every Sunday, and also on Holy Days and other occasions.
- Today’s liturgy is from the red Book of Common Prayer 1979. All hymns are taken from the blue Hymnal 1982 or other authorized hymnals for use in the Episcopal Church. All hymns are reprinted with permission under OneLicense.net A713125.

Dr. J's Notes:
- Harold Friedell was a distinguished American organist, composer, conductor, and educator. He taught at both The Juilliard School and Union Theological Seminary, composed numerous choral anthems and works for solo organ, and was a prominent leader in the American Guild of Organists. His music remains firmly rooted in the Anglican choral tradition, marked by expressive text setting and a rich harmonic language. In 1946, Friedell was appointed Organist and Master of the Choir at St. Bartholomew’s Church on Park Avenue, a position he held for the remainder of his career. His years at St. Bartholomew’s placed him at the center of one of the country’s most distinguished church music programs. Friedell died suddenly of a heart attack on February 17, 1958, while walking to the train station in Hastings-on-Hudson following a heavy snowstorm the previous evening. His funeral was held at St. Bartholomew’s Church on February 20, and he was buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Tarrytown.
