Welcome to worship at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church!
PRELUDE “How Great Thou Art” arr. Hayes
CONFESSION AND FORGIVNESS
Blessed be the holy Trinity, + one God,
who forgives all our sin, whose mercy endures
forever.
Amen.
Let us confess our sin and come to God for healing.
Silence is kept for reflection.
Gracious God,
have mercy on us.
We confess that we have honored you with our
lips,
but have harmed our neighbors with our tongues.
The cravings at war within us
cause conflicts and disputes.
In our desire to be first
we make distinctions among ourselves.
We place the needs of the poor and the suffering
last.
In your great mercy, forgive us our sins.
Draw near to us with grace in time of need,
and turn us to follow in the way of Jesus
Christ,
our Savior and Lord.
Amen.
God promises to forgive our iniquity
and to remember our sin no more.
By grace you have been saved.
In the name of ☩ Jesus Christ,
the source of eternal healing,
your sins are forgiven.
Amen.

HYMN OF PRAISE
PRAYER OF THE DAY, Children's message
First Reading: Jeremiah 31:7-9
7Thus 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.
Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God
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. 26For it was fitting that
we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, undefiled, separated from
sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27Unlike the other high
priests, he has no need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own
sins, and then for those of the people; this he did once for all when he
offered himself. 28For the law
appoints as high priests those who are subject to weakness, but the word of the
oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect
forever.
Word of the
Lord. Thanks be to God
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
Gospel: Mark 10:46-52
The Holy Gospel according to Saint Mark the 10th
chapter. Glory to you O Lord.
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.

HYMN Lord, Keep Us Steadfast in Your Word #517
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

temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, forever and ever. Amen
