Welcome to worship at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church!
PRELUDE Father Most Holy D.W. Zimmer
Confession and Forgiveness
All may make the sign of
the cross, the sign that is marked at baptism, as the presiding minister begins.
Blessed be the holy Trinity, + one God,
whose steadfast love endures forever.
Amen.
Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.
Silence is kept for reflection.
Merciful God,
we confess that we have not followed your path
but have chosen our own way.
Instead of putting others before ourselves,
we long to take the best seats at the table.
When met by those in need,
we have too often passed by on the other side.
Set us again on the path of life.
Save us from ourselves
and free us to love our neighbors.
Amen.
Hear the good news!
God does not deal with us according to our sins
but delights in granting pardon and mercy.
In the name of + Jesus Christ, your sins are
forgiven.
You are free to love as God loves.
Amen.

FIRST READING: Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31
1Does not wisdom call, and does not understanding raise
her voice? 2On the heights, beside the way, at the crossroads she
takes her stand; 3beside the gates in front of the town, at the
entrance of the portals she cries out:
4"To you, O people, I call, and my cry is to all
that live. 22The LORD created me at the beginning of his work,
the first of his acts of
long ago. 23Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning
of the earth.
24When there were no depths I was brought forth, when
there were no springs abounding with water.
25Before the mountains had been shaped, before the
hills, I was brought forth— 26when he had not yet made earth and
fields, or the world's first bits of soil. 27When he established the
heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, 28when
he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, 29when
he assigned to the sea its limit, so that
the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations
of the earth, 30then I was beside him, like a master worker; and I
was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, 31rejoicing in
his inhabited world and delighting in the human race."
PSALM: Psalm 8
1O | LORD our Lord, how majestic is your
name in | all the earth!—
2you whose glory is chanted above the heavens out of
the mouths of in- | fants and children;
you have set up a
fortress against your enemies, to silence the foe | and
avenger.
3When I consider your heavens, the work | of
your fingers, the moon and the stars you
have set | in their courses,
4what are mere mortals that you should be mind- |
ful of them, human beings that you should | care for them?
5Yet you have made them little less | than
divine; with glory and hon- | or you crown them.
6You have made them rule over the works | of
your hands; you have put all things un- | der their feet:
7all | flocks and cattle, even the wild
beasts | of the field,
8the birds of the air, the fish | of the
sea, and whatever passes along the paths | of the sea.
9O | LORD our Lord, how majestic is your name in | all the earth!
SECOND
READING: Romans 5:1-5
1Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have
obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of
sharing the glory of God. 3And not only that, but we also boast in
our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4and
endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5and hope
does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

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

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
