PRELUDE Now the Heavens Start to Whisper Biery
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 Isaiah 2:1-5
1The
word that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2In days to come
the mountain of the Lord’s
house
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and shall be raised above the hills;
all the nations shall stream to it.
3Many peoples shall come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob;
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth instruction,
and the word of the Lord from
Jerusalem.
4He shall judge between the nations,
and shall arbitrate for many peoples;
they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.
5O house of Jacob,
come, let us walk
in the light of the Lord!
Psalm
122
1I
was glad when they | said
to me, “Let us go to the house | of
the Lord.”
2Now our | feet
are standing within your gates, | O
Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem is built | as
a city that is at unity | with
itself;
4to which the tribes go up, the tribes | of
the Lord, the assembly of
Israel, to praise the name | of
the Lord.
5For there are the | thrones
of judgment, the thrones of the | house
of David.
6Pray for the peace | of
Jerusalem: “May they pros- | per
who love you.
7Peace be with- | in
your walls and quietness with- | in
your towers.
8For the sake of my kindred | and
companions, I pray for | your
prosperity.
9Because
of the house of the | Lord our God, I will
seek to | do you good.” R
11Besides
this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from
sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; 12the
night is far gone, the day is near. Let us then lay aside the works of darkness
and put on the armor of light; 13let
us live honorably as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in
debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. 14Instead,
put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify
its desires.
[Jesus said to the disciples,] 36“About
that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but
only the Father. 37For as the days of
Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38For
as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, 39and
they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too will be
the coming of the Son of Man. 40Then
two will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. 41Two
women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be
left. 42Keep awake therefore,
for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43But
understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night
the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his
house be broken into. 44Therefore
you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.”
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise
to you, O Christ.

HYMN Rejoice, Rejoice, Believers #244
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
Prayers of Intercession, PEACE
OFFERING
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in
heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass
against us; and lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us
from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen
