Ringing of the Bell

 

Opening Hymn “O Christ, Who Called the Twelve”
verses 1, 2 and 4
If you wish to follow the music, refer to hymnal 856.

O Christ, who called the Twelve
To rise and follow You,
Forsaking old, familiar ways
For ventures bold and new:
Grant us to hear Your call
To risk security
And, bound in heart and will to You,
Find perfect liberty.

O Christ, who taught the Twelve
The truth for ages sealed,
Whose words and works awakened faith,
The ways of God revealed:
Instruct us now, we pray,
By Your empow’ring Word.
True teacher, be for all who seek
Their light, their life, their Lord.

O Christ, who sent the Twelve
On roads they’d never trod
To serve, to suffer, teach, proclaim
The nearer reign of God:
Send us on ways where faith
Transcends timidity,
Where love informs and hope sustains
Both life and ministry.

 

Invocation and Psalm
Liturgist: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19b)
People: Amen.
Liturgist: “Worship the LORD with gladness;
People: come before Him with joyful songs.” (Psalm 100:2)
Liturgist: “For the LORD is good;
People: His love endures forever.” (Psalm 100:5a)

  

Confession
Liturgist: “What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?”
People: “By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?” (Romans 6:1-2)
Liturgist: As we prepare to confess our sins to God our Father, we think on our actions, the things we have done that have harmed others, the sinful desires of our hearts.
silence for reflection
Liturgist: Therefore, we admit our wrongdoing:
People: We confess that we have sinned. We have wandered from You. We have each gone our own way. For the sake of Your Son Jesus Christ, we humbly ask You to forgive us, Lord.

 
“O Christ, Who Called the Twelve”
verse 5

All sing: O Christ, th'apostles' Lord,
The martyrs' strength and song,
The crucified and risen King
To whom the saints belong:
Though generations pass,
Our tribute still we bring,
Our hymns a sacrifice of praise,
Our lives an offering.

 

Absolution
Liturgist: "For if we have been united with Him in a death like His, we will certainly also be united with Him in a resurrection like His." (Romans 6:5) God has rescued you. You are His. In your baptism, you were made His child. Your sinful desires and actions are covered over by Jesus' blood. Rejoice in your holiness! As a servant of Christ, I announce to you the forgiveness of all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
People: Amen.

 
Hymn of Praise “Father Welcomes”
If you wish to follow the music, refer to hymnal 605.

Refrain:
Father welcomes all His children
To His fam’ly through His Son.
Father giving His salvation,
Life forever has been won.

Little children, come to Me,
For My kingdom is of these.
Life and love I have to give,
Mercy for your sin. refrain

In the water, in the Word,
In His promise, be assured:
Those who are baptized and believe
Shall be born again. refrain

Let us daily die to sin;
Let us daily rise with Him,
Walk in the love of Christ our Lord,
Live in the peace of God. refrain

 

Epistle Reading Romans 5:6-15 NIV

⁶ You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. ⁸ But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

⁹ Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! ¹⁰ For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! ¹¹ Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

¹² Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—

¹³ To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law. ¹⁴ Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.

¹⁵ But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!

Lector: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

  

Holy Gospel  Matthew 9:35-10:8 NIV

³⁵ Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. ³⁶ When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. ³⁷ Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. ³⁸ Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

10 Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.

² These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; ³ Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; ⁴ Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. ⁶ Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. ⁷ As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ ⁸ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

Lector: This is the Gospel of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

 

Hymn of the Day "In Christ Alone"

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no human plan,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I stand!

Apostles’ Creed 
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, His 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 into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Christian Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

Closing Hymn “Go, My Children, with My Blessing”
verses 1, 2 and 4
If you wish to follow the music, refer to hymnal 922.

Go, My children, with My blessing,
Never alone.
Waking, sleeping, I am with you;
You are My own.
In My love’s baptismal river
I have made you Mine forever.
Go, My children, with My blessing—
You are My own.

Go, My children, sins forgiven,
At peace and pure.
Here you learned how much I love you,
What I can cure.
Here you heard My dear Son’s story;
Here you touched Him, saw His glory.
Go, My children, sins forgiven,
At peace and pure.

I the Lord will bless and keep you
And give you peace;
I the Lord will smile upon you
And give you peace:
I the Lord will be your Father,
Savior, Comforter, and Brother.
Go, My children; I will keep you
And give you peace.

Almighty and most merciful God, You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ,
to seek and to save the lost.

Graciously open our ears and our hearts to hear His call and to follow Him by faith,
that we may live with Him forever in His kingdom. Lord, in Your mercy,

Lord of love, we thank You that You continue
to guide, correct, and love us with steady care.

We give You thanks for 24 years of marriage for Jeff and Becca Ryals.

Continue to bless them and all spouses, that spouses would respond in grace,
love with patience and strengthen each other in faith. Lord, in Your mercy,

Great Physician, You revive and You restore.
We pray that You would heal our sick and bind up the wounds of the wounded.

We pray especially for…Jon Carlson, Eileen Hamilton, Laurie Hawn, Rick Miller, Mike Perkins, those on our printed prayer lists, and those we uplift before You in the quiet of our hearts…

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.
May Your name be praised in all times and trials. Lord, in Your mercy,

Holy Father, receive our thanks for Your kindness to Abraham, Sarah,
and all the saints who have gone before us.

Creator of all things, You call into existence what does not exist and govern it for good.

Remember those You have given authority among the nations, especially our own nation, state, and community – for President Trump, Governor Newsom, and Mayor Slater.
Watch over and protect our first responders and our active and reserve military.

Thank You for the freedom and opportunity to vote.
May the laws our leaders administer reflect Your order and maintain peace.
Lord, in Your mercy,

Holy God, You desire mercy and not sacrifice.

Preserve us from doing good only out of begrudging obligation.
Grant us joyful hearts in the freedom of Your forgiveness to serve our neighbor in love.
