CONFESSION
AND FORGIVENESS
All
may make the sign of the cross, the sign that is marked at baptism, as the
presiding minister begins.
and of the Son,
and of the Holy
Spirit.
Amen.
Almighty God,
to whom all hearts are
open,
all desires known,
and from whom no
secrets are hid:
cleanse the thoughts
of our hearts
by the inspiration of
your Holy Spirit,
that we may perfectly
love you
and worthily magnify
your holy name,
through Jesus Christ
our Lord.
Amen.
Let us confess our sin
in the presence of God and of one another.
Silence is kept for reflection.
Most merciful God,
we confess that we are
captive to sin
and cannot free
ourselves.
We have sinned against
you
in thought, word, and
deed,
by what we have done
and by what we have
left undone.
We have not loved you
with our whole heart;
we have not loved
our neighbors as
ourselves.
For the sake
of your Son, Jesus
Christ,
have mercy on us.
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.
Amen.
The presiding minister announces God’s forgiveness with these or similar words.
In the mercy of
almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for us, and for his sake God
forgives us all our sins. As a called and ordained minister of the church of
Christ, and by his authority, I therefore declare to you the entire forgiveness
of all your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the ☩ Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen

HYMN OF PRAISE
PRAYER OF THE DAY
Children's message
FIRST READING: Genesis 3:8-15
8[Adam and Eve] heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9But the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?" 10He said, "I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself." 11He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?" 12The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate." 13Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this that you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent tricked me, and I ate."
14The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this,
cursed are you among all animals and among all wild
creatures;
upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
15I will put enmity between you and the woman, and
between your offspring and hers;
he will strike your head, and you will strike his
heel."
PSALM: Psalm 130
1Out | of the depthsI cry to | you, O LORD;
2O LORD, | hear my voice! Let your ears be
attentive to the voice of my | supplication.
3If you were to keep watch | over sins, O
LORD, | who could stand?
4Yet with you | is forgiveness, in order
that you | may be feared.
5I wait for you, O LORD; | my soul waits; in
your word | is my hope.
6My soul waits for the Lord more than those who keep
watch | for the morning,
more than those who keep watch | for the
morning.
7O Israel, wait for the LORD, for with the LORD there
is | steadfast love;
with the LORD there is plen- | teous
redemption.
8For the LORD shall | redeem Israel from |
all their sins.
SECOND
READING: 2 Corinthians 4:13—5:1
13But just as we have the same spirit of faith that is in accordance with scripture—"I believed, and so I spoke"—we also believe, and so we speak, 14because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will bring us with you into his presence. 15Yes, everything is for your sake, so that grace, as it extends to more and more people, may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.
16So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. 17For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure, 18because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.
5:1For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
GOSPEL: Mark 3:20-35
[Jesus] went home; 20and the crowd came together again, so that [Jesus and the disciples] could not even eat. 21When his family heard it, they went out to restrain him, for people were saying, "He has gone out of his mind." 22And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebul, and by the ruler of the demons he casts out demons." 23And he called them to him, and spoke to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan? 24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but his end has come. 27But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his property without first tying up the strong man; then indeed the house can be plundered. 28Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven for their sins and whatever blasphemies they utter; 29but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"—30for they had said, "He has an unclean spirit."
31Then his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside, they sent to him and called him. 32A crowd was sitting around him; and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, asking for you." 33And he replied, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" 34And looking at those who sat around him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! 35Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother."
The
Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, O Christ.

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
