Charles Raasch, organ

My life flows on in endless song above earth's lamentation.
I hear the real though far-off hymn that hails a new creation.
No storm can shake my inmost calm, I hear the music ringing.
It sounds an echo in my soul. How can i keep from singing?

And though the tempest 'round me roars, I know the truth, it liveth.
What though the darkness 'round me close, songs in the night it giveth.

Alleluia LSB 190

Holy Gospel   John 14:15–21 NIV

¹⁵ “If you love me, keep my commands. ¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. ¹⁹ Before long, the world will

not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. ²⁰ On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. ²¹ Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

Prayers of the Church
May 9th, 2026

O God, You are the giver of all that is good.

By Your holy inspiration, grant that we may think those things that are right
and by Your merciful guiding accomplish them. Lord, in Your mercy,

Lord of heaven and earth, You have given us the Spirit of truth
to dwell in us through Holy Baptism.

We thank You for the Baptisms today of Daniel Marcel Garland, son of Keith and Danielle,
and Leilah Rae and Ryan Quinn Camacho, children of Taryn.

Grant Your Spirit’s steadfast guidance,
that the feet of Your Church and Your baptized children may not slip into sin and unbelief,
but live always in the praise of You before the world. Lord, in Your mercy,

Merciful Lord, You listen and You wait upon the prayers of Your people,
and You attend to their cries.

Hear our cries for healing, for wholeness, for renewed faith –
especially for Jeni Hayes, Renee Klein, Marshall Lopez, Maggie Lowery, Sean O’Donoghue, the Pipgras family, Tony Uriarte, Edgar and Sara Villalobos, Nola Vroom, those on our printed prayer lists, and those named in our hearts and minds…

We are mindful of those who have strained relationships with their mothers,
and we pray for healing, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

Inspire us to pray in all seasons of life and through all trials,
and keep us firm in faith to believe Your promises. Lord, in Your mercy,

Heavenly Father, Your house has many rooms,
and we thank You that Your Son has prepared a place for us.

We pray that You would comfort the grieving,
especially the family and friends of Michael Dexter, son of Eunice Dexter,
and the family and friends of Hal Prange, wife of Barbara Prange.

those who remember children who have died and pregnancies that miscarried,
those who remember their mothers,
and those who remember women who have cared, mentored, and loved them like mothers.

Because Jesus lives, we too shall live.
Abide with those who mourn, and give us confidence in the sweet joy of this sentence:
I know my Redeemer lives. Lord, in Your mercy,

Lord Jesus Christ, son of Mary,
remember in compassion those who pray and desire to be mothers.

For women who want children but are experiencing infertility, we pray for miracles.

For moms who decided other parents were the best choice for their babies,
and for mothers and grandmothers who adopt, foster, and caregive,
guide them with Your gracious hand.

Bring all comfort, encouragement, and support through Your Word and Church.
Lord, in Your mercy,

If you are with your mother or grandmother today,
or a godly woman who has made an eternal impact in your life today,
we encourage you to put your hand on her shoulder or hold her hand.

If your mom is not here with you today,
we encourage you to put your hands over your heart.

Father in heaven, You have given us a mirror of Your love in the vocation of mothers, those who nurture, guide, and raise their children in all things good.

We praise You, O Lord, for placing these godly women into our lives,
for the sacrificial love we have received from our mothers and grandmothers,
and for those who love us as if we were their own children.

Thank You for the support that they have provided and continue to provide to us.
Thank You for their Christ-like love, joy, wisdom, and delight.

Give mothers energy and endurance, rest and renewal as they raise their children.
Give mothers supportive husbands, families, and friends
as they care for the growth of their children.

Thank you for the eternal impact they have had on our lives.
Bless them in their calling. Sustain them through weary and difficult times.
Thank You, Jesus, for those You call to be mom. Amen.
