PRELUDE Sonata No. 8 with “Abide With Me” Beethovan/Dean
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.

PRAYER OF THE DAY, Children's
message
1“At that time Michael,
the great prince, the protector of your people, shall arise. There shall be a
time of anguish, such as has never occurred since nations first came into
existence. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is
found written in the book. 2Many of those who sleep
in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to
shame and everlasting contempt. 3Those who are wise shall
shine like the brightness of the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness,
like the stars forever and ever.”
Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God
Psalm 16
1Protect me, O God, for I
take ref- | uge in
you;
I have said to the Lord,
“You are my Lord, my good above all other.”
2All my delight is in the
godly that are | in the land,
upon those who are noble among the people.
3But those who run
after | other
gods shall have their troubles | multiplied.
4I will not pour out
drink offerings | to such gods,
never take their names upon my lips.
5O Lord, you are my portion | and my cup; it is
you who uphold my lot.
6My boundaries enclose
a | pleasant land; indeed, I have a | rich inheritance.
7I will bless the Lord who | gives me counsel;
my heart teaches me night | after night.
8I have set the Lord always before me;
because God is at my right hand, I shall | not be
shaken.
9My heart, therefore, is
glad, and my spirit rejoices; my body also shall | rest in hope.
10For you will not abandon
me | to the grave, nor let your holy one | see the pit.
11You will show me
the | path of life; in
your presence there is fullness of joy, and in
your right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Second Reading: Hebrews 10:11-14 [15-18] 19-25
11Every priest
stands day after day at his service, offering again and again the same sacrifices that can never take away
sins. 12But when
Christ had offered for all time a single
sacrifice for sins, “he sat down at the right hand of God,” 13and since then has been
waiting “until his enemies would be made a footstool for his feet.” 14For by a single offering he has perfected for all
time those who are sanctified. [15And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for
after saying, 16“This is the
covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put
my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds,” 17he also adds, “I will
remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” 18Where there is
forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.] 19Therefore, my friends,
since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, 20by the new and living
way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his
flesh), 21and since we
have a great priest over the house of God, 22let us approach with a
true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an
evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold fast to the
confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is
faithful. 24And let us
consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, 25not neglecting to meet
together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the
more as you see the Day approaching.
Word of the
Lord. Thanks be to God
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
Gospel: Mark 13:1-8
The Holy Gospel according to Saint Mark the 13th
chapter. Glory to you O Lord.
1As [Jesus] came out of the
temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what large stones and
what large buildings!” 2Then Jesus asked him, “Do you see these great
buildings? Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown
down.”
3When he was sitting on
the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked
him privately, 4“Tell us,
when will this be, and what will be the sign that all these things are about to
be accomplished?” 5Then Jesus
began to say to them, “Beware that no one leads you astray. 6Many will come in my
name and say, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. 7When you hear of wars
and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is
still to come. 8For nation
will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be
earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. This is but the beginning
of the birth pangs.”
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O
Christ.
SERMON
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
