Welcome to worship at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church!
PRELUDE A Day of Rest and Gladness Raabe
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.
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

OF THE DAY
Children's message
FIRST READING: Jeremiah 31:7-9
7For thus says the LORD: Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, and raise shouts for the chief of the nations; proclaim, give praise, and say, "Save, O LORD, your people, the remnant of Israel." 8See, I am going to bring them from the land of the north, and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, those with child and those in labor, together; a great company, they shall return here.
9With weeping they shall come, and with consolations I
will lead them back, I will let them walk by brooks of water, in a straight
path in which they shall not stumble; for I have become a father to Israel, and
Ephraim is my firstborn.
PSALM: Psalm 126
1When the LORD restored the for- | tunes of Zion, then were we like | those who dream.
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our
tongue with | shouts of joy.
Then they said among the
nations, "The LORD has done great | things for them."
3The LORD has done great | things for us, and
we are | glad indeed.
4Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses |
of the Negeb.
5Those who | sowed with tears will reap with
| songs of joy.
6Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, will come
again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.
SECOND
READING: Hebrews
7:23-28
23The former priests were many in number, because they
were prevented by death from continuing in office; 24but he holds
his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. 25Consequently
he is able for all time to save those who approach God through him, since he
always lives to make intercession for them.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
GOSPEL: Mark 10:46-52
46As [Jesus] and his disciples and a large crowd were
leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the
roadside. 47When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to
shout out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" 48Many
sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, "Son
of David, have mercy on me!" 49Jesus stood still and said, "Call
him here." And they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take heart;
get up, he is calling you." 50So throwing off his cloak, he
sprang up and came to Jesus. 51Then Jesus said to him, "What do
you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "My teacher,
let me see again." 52Jesus said to him, "Go; your faith
has made you well." Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on
the way.
The
Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, O Christ.
SERMON
HYMN God,
Whose Almighty Word #673
v. 1,2
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
