Welcome to worship at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church!
PRELUDE Here I Am Hayes
* 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, who sends the word with angels, who is made flesh among all peoples, and who breathes peace on all the earth. Amen.
In Christ, we are bold to name our sin and cry out for peace.
Silence is kept for reflection.
Holy God,
we confess our sin
before you.
We replace compassion
with competition.
We seek what is mighty
while ignoring the meek.
We are quick to anger
but slow to forgive.
We have not put on love
in harmony with you.
Wrap us in the grace of
your powerful Word.
Swaddle our hearts with
your peace,
that all we do, in word
or deed,
may reflect your love
born among us.
Amen.
I bring you good news of great joy for all people: God has come among us in the child born of Mary, Christ the Lord. + In Christ your sins are forgiven and you are clothed in peace.
Amen.

PRAYER OF THE DAY
Children's message
FIRST READING: Isaiah 6:1-8 [9-13]
1In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the LORD
sitting on a throne, high and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple.
2Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with two
they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with two
they flew. 3And one called to another and said:
"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory."
4The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of
those who called, and the house filled with smoke. 5And I said:
"Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a
people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of
hosts!"
6Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a
live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. 7The
seraph touched my mouth with it and said: "Now that this has touched your
lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out." 8Then
I heard the voice of the LORD saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go
for us?" And I said, "Here am I; send me!" [9And he
said, "Go and say to this people: 'Keep listening, but do not comprehend; keep
looking, but do not understand.' 10Make the mind of this people
dull, and stop their ears, and shut their eyes, so that they may not look with
their eyes, and listen with their ears, and comprehend with their minds, and
turn and be healed." 11Then I said, "How long, O
LORD?" And he said: "Until cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is
utterly desolate; 12until the LORD sends everyone far away, and vast
is the emptiness in the midst of the land. 13Even if a tenth part
remain in it, it will be burned again, like a terebinth or an oak whose stump
remains standing when it is felled." The
holy seed is its stump.]
PSALM: Psalm 138
1I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with |
my whole heart; before the gods I will |
sing your praise.
2I will bow down toward your holy temple and praise
your name, because of your steadfast | love and faithfulness; for
you have glorified your name and your word a- | bove all
things.
3When I called, you | answered me; you
increased my | strength within me.
4All the rulers of the earth will praise |
you, O LORD, when they have heard the words | of your mouth.
5They will sing of the ways | of the LORD, that
great is the glory | of the LORD.
6The LORD is high, yet cares | for the
lowly, perceiving the haughty | from afar.
7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you |
keep me safe; you stretch forth your hand
against the fury of my enemies; your right | hand shall save me.
8You will make good your pur- | pose for me;
O LORD, your steadfast love endures forever; do not abandon the works |
of your hands.
SECOND
READING: 1 Corinthians
15:1-11
1Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the
good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also
you stand, 2through which also you are being saved, if you hold
firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you—unless you have come to believe
in vain.
3For I handed on to you as of first importance
what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with
the scriptures, 4and that he was buried, and that he was raised on
the third day in accordance with the scriptures, 5and that he
appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6Then he appeared to more
than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still
alive, though some have died. 7Then he appeared to James, then to all
the apostles. 8Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared
also to me. 9For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called
an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10But by the
grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On
the contrary, I worked harder than any of them—though it was not I, but the
grace of God that is with me. 11Whether then it was I or they, so we
proclaim and so you have come to believe.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
GOSPEL: Luke 5:1-11
1Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of
Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, 2he
saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of
them and were washing their nets. 3He got into one of the boats, the
one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore.
Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. 4When he had
finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let
down your nets for a catch." 5Simon answered, "Master, we
have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will
let down the nets." 6When they had done this, they caught so
many fish that their nets were beginning to break. 7So they signaled
their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and
filled both boats, so that they began to sink. 8But when Simon Peter
saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Go away from me, Lord, for
I am a sinful man!" 9For he and all who were with him were
amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken; 10and so also were
James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said
to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching
people." 11When they had brought their boats to shore, they
left everything and followed him.

HYMN Jesus Calls Us, o’er the Tumult #696 v. 1,2,5
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
