Welcome to worship at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church!
PRELUDE Going Home, New World Labenske
CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
All
may make the sign of the cross, the sign that is marked at baptism, as the
presiding minister begins.
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

HYMN OF PRAISE
Children's message
FIRST READING: Isaiah 25:6-9
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines,
of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained
clear.
7And he will destroy on this mountain
the shroud that is cast over all peoples,
the sheet that is spread over all nations;
8he will swallow up death forever.
Then the Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all
faces,
and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all
the earth,
for the LORD has spoken.
9It will be said on that day,
Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he
might save us.
This is the LORD for whom we have waited;
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
PSALM: Psalm 24
2For the LORD has founded it up- | on the
seas and established it up- | on the rivers.
3Who may ascend the mountain | of the LORD, and
who may stand in God's | holy place?
4Those of innocent hands and puri- | ty of
heart, who do not swear on God's being, nor do they pledge by | what
is false.
5They shall receive blessing | from the LORD
and righteousness from the God of | their salvation.
6Such is the generation of those who seek |
you, O LORD, of those who seek your face, O | God of Jacob.
7Lift up your heads, O gates; and be lifted up, O ever-
| lasting doors, that the King of glory | may come in.
8Who is this | King of glory? The LORD,
strong and mighty, the LORD, might- | y in battle!
9Lift up your heads, O gates; and be lifted up, O ever-
| lasting doors, that the King of glory | may come in.
10Who is this | King of glory? Truly, the
LORD of hosts is the | King of glory.
SECOND
READING: Revelation
21:1-6a
1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
"See, the home of God is among mortals.
He will dwell with them;
they will be his peoples,
and God himself will be with them;
4he will wipe every tear from their eyes.
Death will be no more;
mourning and crying and pain will be no more,
for the first things have passed away."
5And the one who was seated on the throne said, "See, I am making all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true." 6Then he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end."
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
GOSPEL: John 11:32-44
Gospel is announced. Please
respond: Glory to you, O Lord.
32When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt
at his feet and said to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would
not have died." 33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who
came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply
moved. 34He said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to
him, "Lord, come and see." 35Jesus began to weep. 36So
the Jews said, "See how he loved him!" 37But some of them
said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this
man from dying?"
38Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb.
It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. 39Jesus said,
"Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to
him, "Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four
days." 40Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if
you believed, you would see the glory of God?"
41So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward
and said, "Father, I thank you for having heard me. 42I knew
that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd
standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me." 43When
he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" 44The
dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face
wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."
SERMON
HYMN For All Your Saints, O Lord #427 v. 1,3,5
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
