God Is Calling Krentz-Organ
CONFESSION
AND FORGIVENESS
All
may make the sign of the cross, the sign that is marked at baptism, as the
presiding minister begins.
In
the name of the Father, 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

Children's message
FIRST
READING: Amos 7:7-15
7This is what [the Lord GOD] showed me: the LORD was
standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. 8And
the LORD said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A
plumb line." Then the LORD said, "See, I am setting a plumb line in
the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass them by; 9the
high places of Isaac shall be made desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel
shall be laid waste, and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the
sword." 10Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to King
Jeroboam of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the very
center of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words. 11For
thus Amos has said, 'Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel must go into
exile away from his land.'" 12And Amaziah said to Amos, "O
seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah, earn your bread there, and prophesy
there; 13but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king's
sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom." 14Then Amos
answered Amaziah, "I am no prophet, nor a prophet's son; but I am a
herdsman, and a dresser of sycamore trees, 15and the LORD took me
from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people
Israel.'"
PSALM: Psalm 85:8-13
8I will listen to what the LORD | God is
saying; for you speak peace to your faithful people
and to those who turn their
| hearts to you.
9Truly, your salvation is very near to |
those who fear you, that your glory may dwell | in our land.
10Steadfast love and faithfulness have | met
together; righteousness and peace have | kissed each other.
11Faithfulness shall spring up | from the
earth, and righteousness shall look | down from heaven.
12The LORD will indeed | grant prosperity, and
our land will | yield its increase.
13Righteousness shall go be- | fore the LORD and
shall prepare for | God a pathway.
SECOND
READING: Ephesians 1:3-14
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the
heavenly places, 4just as he chose us in Christ before the
foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love. 5He
destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the
good pleasure of his will, 6to the praise of his glorious grace that
he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7In him we have redemption
through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches
of his grace 8that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight 9he
has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure
that he set forth in Christ, 10as a plan for the fullness of time,
to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 11In
Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to
the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and
will, 12so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ,
might live for the praise of his glory. 13In him you also, when you
had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in
him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; 14this
is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God's own people, to the
praise of his glory.

GOSPEL: Mark 6:14-29
14King Herod heard of [the disciples' preaching,] for Jesus' name had
become known. Some were saying, "John the baptizer has been raised from
the dead; and for this reason these powers are at work in him." 15But
others said, "It is Elijah." And others said, "It is a prophet,
like one of the prophets of old." 16But when Herod heard of it,
he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised."
17For Herod himself had sent men who arrested John,
bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's
wife, because Herod had married her. 18For John had been telling
Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." 19And
Herodias had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not, 20for
Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he
protected him. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed; and yet he liked to
listen to him. 21But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday
gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and for the leaders of Galilee. 22When
his daughter Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and
the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give
it." 23And he solemnly swore to her, "Whatever you ask me,
I will give you, even half of my kingdom." 24She went out and
said to her mother, "What should I ask for?" She replied, "The
head of John the baptizer." 25Immediately she rushed back to
the king and requested, "I want you to give me at once the head of John
the Baptist on a platter." 26The king was deeply grieved; yet
out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he did not want to refuse her. 27Immediately
the king sent a soldier of the guard with orders to bring John's head. He went
and beheaded him in the prison, 28brought his head on a platter, and
gave it to the girl. Then the girl gave it to her mother. 29When his
disciples heard about it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.
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
