CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
Blessed be
the holy Trinity, ☩ one God, who
creates, redeems, and sustains us and all of creation.
Amen.
Let us
confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.
Silence is
kept for reflection.
Faithful
God,
have mercy
on us. We confess that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves. We turn
from your loving embrace and go our own ways. We pass judgment on one another before
examining ourselves. We place our own needs before those of our neighbors. We keep your gift of salvation to
ourselves. Make us humble, cast away our transgressions, and turn us again to
life in you through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
God hears
the cries of all who call out in need, and through his death and resurrection, Christ
has made us his own. Hear the truth that God proclaims: Your sins are forgiven
in the name of ☩ Jesus
Christ. Led by the Holy Spirit, live in freedom and newness to do God’s work in
the world.
Amen.
GREETING
The grace of our Lord, Jesus
Christ, the love of God, and communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
And also
with you.

O Lord God, enliven and preserve
your church with your perpetual mercy. Without your help, we mortals will fail;
remove far from us everything that is harmful, and lead us toward all that
gives life and salvation, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
Amen.
Children's message
7So you,
mortal, I have made a sentinel for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a
word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. 8If I say
to the wicked, “O wicked ones, you shall surely die,” and you do not speak
to warn the wicked to turn from their ways, the wicked shall die in their
iniquity, but their blood I will require at your hand. 9But if you
warn the wicked to turn from their ways, and they do not turn from their ways,
the wicked shall die in their iniquity, but you will have saved your life.
10Now you, mortal, say to the house of Israel, Thus you have said:
“Our transgressions and our sins weigh upon us, and we waste away because of
them; how then can we live?” 11Say to them, As I live, says the Lord
God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn
from their ways and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways; for why
will you die, O house of Israel?
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks
be to God.
PSALM: Psalm 119:33-40
33Teach
me, O Lord, the way | of your statutes,
and I shall keep it | to the end.
34Give me understanding, and I shall | keep your teaching;
I shall keep it with | all my heart.
35Lead me in the path of | your commandments,
for that is | my desire.
36Incline my heart to | your decrees
and not to | unjust gain. R
37Turn my eyes from be- | holding falsehood;
give me life | in your way.
38Fulfill your promise | to your servant,
which is for | those who fear you.
39Turn away the reproach | that I dread,
because your judg- | ments are good.
40Behold, I long for | your commandments;
SECOND
READING: Romans 13:8-14
8Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet”; and any other commandment, are summed up in this word, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 10Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.
11Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment
for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we
became believers; 12the night is far gone, the day is near. Let us
then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; 13let
us live honorably as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in
debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. 14Instead,
put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify
its desires.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

SERMON
HYMN Where
Charity and Love Prevail #359
APOSTLES CREED
I believe in God, the Father
almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
God's only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born
of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,
died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day
he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right
hand of the Father, and he will come 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
PRAYERS
OF THE PEOPLE
PEACE
OFFERING
Please be sure to have the
wafer or bread if you choose laid out in front of you. As well is
you have wine or juice present that it is also in front of you during the
communion liturgy. Once the liturgy is complete, I will say, "The
Body of Christ given for you." We will then eat
together. The same for the drink.
LORD'S PRAYER
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 trespasses, as we
forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever
and ever. Amen
