PRELUDE I Will Praise Thee, O Lord, My Strength Marcello
Confession and
Forgiveness
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.
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.

PRAYER OF THE DAY
CHILDREN’S SERMON
FIRST READING: 2 Kings 5:1-3, 7-15c
1Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Aram, was
a great man and in high favor with his master, because by him the LORD had
given victory to Aram. The man, though a mighty warrior, suffered from leprosy.
2Now the Arameans on one of their raids had taken a young girl
captive from the land of Israel, and she served Naaman's wife. 3She
said to her mistress, "If only my lord were with the prophet who is in
Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy." 7When the king of
Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, "Am I God, to give
death or life, that this man sends word to me to cure a man of his leprosy?
Just look and see how he is trying to pick a quarrel with me."
8But when Elisha the man of God heard that the
king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent a message to the king, "Why
have you torn your clothes? Let him come to me, that he may learn that there is
a prophet in Israel." 9So Naaman came with his horses and
chariots, and halted at the entrance of Elisha's house. 10Elisha
sent a messenger to him, saying, "Go, wash in the Jordan seven times, and
your flesh shall be restored and you shall be clean." 11But
Naaman became angry and went away, saying, "I thought that for me he would
surely come out, and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and would
wave his hand over the spot, and cure the leprosy! 12Are not Abana
and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel?
Could I not wash in them, and be clean?" He turned and went away in a
rage. 13But his servants approached and said to him, "Father,
if the prophet had commanded you to do something difficult, would you not have
done it? How much more, when all he said to you was, 'Wash, and be
clean'?" 14So he went down and immersed himself seven times in
the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; his flesh was restored
like the flesh of a young boy, and he was clean.
15cThen he returned to the man of God, he and
all his company; he came and stood before him and said, "Now I know that
there is no God in all the earth except in Israel.
PSALM: Psalm 111
1Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with |
my whole heart,
in the assembly of the upright, in the |
congregation.
2Great are your | works, O LORD, pondered by
all who de- | light in them.
3Majesty and splendor | mark your deeds, and
your righteousness en- | dures forever.
4You cause your wonders to | be remembered; you
are gracious and full | of compassion.
5You give food to | those who fear you, remembering
forev- | er your covenant.
6You have shown your people the power | of
your works
in giving them the lands | of the
nations.
7The works of your hands are faithful- |
ness and justice; all of your pre- | cepts are sure.
8They stand fast forev- | er and ever, because
they are done in | truth and equity.
9You sent redemption to your people and commanded your
cove- | nant forever;
holy and awesome | is your name.
10The fear of the LORD is the begin- | ning
of wisdom; all who practice this have a good understanding.
God's praise en- | dures forever.
SECOND
READING: 2 Timothy
2:8-15
8Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a
descendant of David—that is my gospel, 9for which I suffer hardship,
even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not
chained. 10Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect,
so that they may also obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with
eternal glory. 11The saying is sure:
If we have died with him, we will also live with
him;
12if we endure, we will also reign with him;
if we deny him, he will also deny us;
13if we are faithless, he remains faithful—
for he cannot deny himself.
14Remind them of this, and warn them before God that
they are to avoid wrangling over words, which does no good but only ruins those
who are listening. 15Do your best to present yourself to God as one
approved by him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the
word of truth.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
GOSPEL: Luke 17:11-19
11On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the
region between Samaria and Galilee. 12As he entered a village, ten
lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, 13they called out,
saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" 14When he saw
them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And
as they went, they were made clean. 15Then one of them, when he saw
that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. 16He
prostrated himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. 17Then
Jesus asked, "Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they?
18Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except
this foreigner?" 19Then he said to him, "Get up and go on
your way; your faith has made you well."
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
