Ringing of the Bell

 

Opening Hymn “Holy, Holy, Holy”
If you wish to follow the music, refer to hymnal 507.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three persons, blessèd Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.

Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see,
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea.
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three persons, blessèd Trinity!

 

Invocation
Pastor: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19b)
People: Amen.

  

Act of Adoration
Pastor: Let us adore our heavenly Father, who created us, who sustains us, who loves us with an everlasting love and gives us the light of the knowledge of His glory in the face of Jesus Christ.
People: We praise You, O God; we acknowledge You to be the Lord.
Pastor: Let us glory in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, though He was rich, yet for our sakes became poor; who in every respect was tempted as we are, yet without sinning; who went about doing good and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom; who became obedient unto death, even death on a cross; who died and is alive forevermore; who has opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers; who is seated at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father; who will come again, as Judge and King.
People: You are the King of Glory, O Christ.
Pastor: Let us rejoice in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life; by whom we are born into the family of God, and made members of the body of Christ; whose witness confirms us, whose wisdom teaches us; whose power enables us to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think.
People: All praise to You, O Holy Spirit.

 
Confession and Absolution
Pastor: Brothers and sisters, let us together acknowledge that we have turned away from our faithful God. None of us is good. We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Therefore, let us come before our Father in heaven in repentance and faith, seeking His pardon and restoration for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. With humble hearts, let us pray.
People: Faithful Father, have mercy upon us. We have failed to obey Your commands. Loving Savior, have mercy upon us. Wash us clean in Your saving blood.
Comforting Spirit, have mercy upon us. Restore us to be Your own. Amen.
Pastor: By God’s work of mercy, we are granted forgiveness. By Christ’s work of suffering, crucifixion, and death, we are granted eternal life. By the work of the Spirit, we are continually sanctified in the glory of God’s holy triune name—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As a called and ordained servant of Christ and by His authority, I therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
People: Amen.

 

Hymn of Praise “O Blessed, Holy Trinity“

All sing:

▲ O blessèd, holy Trinity,
Divine, eternal Unity,
O Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
This day Your name be uppermost.

▲ The Father's love shield me this day,
The Son's pure wisdom cheer my way,
The Holy Spirit's joy and light
Drive from my heart the shades of night.

▲ Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

 

Epistle Reading Acts 2:14a, 22-36 NIV

¹⁴ Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: 

²² “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. ²³ This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. ²⁴ But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. ²⁵ David said about him:

“‘I saw the Lord always before me.
    Because he is at my right hand,
    I will not be shaken.
²⁶ Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
    my body also will rest in hope,
²⁷ because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
    you will not let your holy one see decay.
²⁸ You have made known to me the paths of life;
    you will fill me with joy in your presence.’

²⁹ “Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. ³⁰ But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. ³¹ Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay. ³² God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. ³³ Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. ³⁴ For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,

“‘The Lord said to my Lord:
    “Sit at my right hand
³⁵ until I make your enemies
    a footstool for your feet.”’

³⁶ “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”

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

  

Chorale "Trinity Chorale" arr. J. S. Bach (BWV 129.5)
Jubilate Choir

O Father, God of love,
Now hear my supplication;
O Savior, Son of God,
Accept my adoration;
O Holy Spirit, be
My ever faithful guide
That I may serve You here
And there with You abide.

  

Holy Gospel  Matthew 28:16-20 NIV

¹⁶ Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. ¹⁷ When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. ¹⁸ Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹ Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

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

 

Hymn of the Day “Of the Father’s Love Begotten”
If you wish to follow the music, refer to hymnal 384.

Choir: Of the Father’s love begotten
Ere the worlds began to be,
He is Alpha and Omega,
He the source, the ending He,
Of the things that are, that have been,
And that future years shall see
Evermore and evermore.

Oh, that birth forever blessèd,
When the virgin, full of grace,
By the Holy Ghost conceiving,
Bore the Savior of our race,
And the babe, the world’s Redeemer,
First revealed His sacred face
Evermore and evermore.

This is He whom seers in old time
Chanted of with one accord,
Whom the voices of the prophets
Promised in their faithful word.
Now He shines, the long-expected;
Let creation praise its Lord
Evermore and evermore.

All sing: O ye heights of heav’n, adore Him;
Angel hosts, His praises sing.
Pow’rs, dominions, bow before Him
And extol our God and King.
Let no tongue on earth be silent,
Ev’ry voice in concert ring
Evermore and evermore.

▲ Christ, to Thee, with God the Father,
And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
And unending praises be,
Honor, glory, and dominion,
And eternal victory
Evermore and evermore. Amen.

Credal Hymn 
“We All Believe in One True God”
If you wish to follow the music, refer to hymnal 953.

We all believe in one true God,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Ever-present help in need,
Praised by all the heav’nly host;
All He made His love enfolds,
All creation He upholds.

We all believe in Jesus Christ,
Son of God and Mary’s son,
Who descended from His throne
And for us salvation won;
By whose cross and death are we
Rescued from all misery.

We all confess the Holy Ghost,
Who from both in truth proceeds,
Who sustains and comforts us
In all trials, fears, and needs.
Blessèd, holy Trinity,
Praise forever be to Thee!

 
Prayers of the Church
Each petition concludes with:
Pastor:  Lord, in your mercy,
People: Hear our prayer.

 

Gathering of Our Tithes and Offerings 


Music at the Offering

"Antiphon" Ralph Vaughan Williams
Jubilate Choir

Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King!
The heavens are not too high,
His praise may thither fly;
The earth is not too low,
His praises there may grow.
Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King!

Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King!
The Church with psalms must shout,
No door can keep them out;
But above all the heart
Must bear the longest part.
Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King!

  

The Lord's Prayer 
Pastor: Lord, remember us in Your kingdom and teach us to pray:
People: 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.

 
Benediction
Pastor: The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you.
The Lord look upon you with favor and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24–26)
People: Amen.

 

Closing Hymn “Eternal Father, Strong to Save”
If you wish to follow the music, refer to hymnal 717.

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd’st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

O Christ, the Lord of hill and plain,
O’er which our traffic runs amain
By mountain pass or valley low;
Wherever, Lord, Thy people go,
Protect them by Thy guarding hand
From ev’ry peril on the land.

O Spirit, whom the Father sent
To spread abroad the firmament;
O Wind of heaven, by Thy might
Save all who dare the eagle’s flight,
And keep them by Thy watchful care
From ev’ry peril in the air.

O Trinity of love and pow’r,
Our people shield in danger’s hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe’er they go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad praise from air and land and sea.

Prayers of the Church
May 31, 2026

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, we bless Your name.
You have called us out of darkness into Your marvelous light.

Guard Your Church, purchased with the precious blood of Jesus.
Keep us steadfast in faith and defend us from all adversities. Lord, in Your mercy,

Lord Jesus, You commissioned Your Church
to baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

We thank You for the blessing to witness Your formation of disciples at the font –
for the Baptisms of Hendrix Reed and Jagger Ricardo Olmos, sons of Adrian and Jorri,
for the Baptism of Dilyn Amber Piguillem, daughter of Daniel and Andrea,
and for the Baptism of Lauren Elizabeth Warners, daughter of Joel and Alison.

With Your love, shield and protect them. With Your wisdom, guard their ways.
And with Your light, guide their paths. Lord, in Your mercy,

Creator God, You ordered this world according to Your good and gracious will,
crowning Your creation with male and female in Your own image.

Thank You for the gift of marriage and the union of husband and wife.
We especially give You thanks for 7 years of marriage for Timothy and Danielle Schlueter,
and for 35 years of marriage for Paul and Pam Haynes.
Bless all spouses with continued gratitude for You and one another.

And uphold singles and widows, those divorced, those dating and engaged –
Your divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life,
through faith in Him who has called us by His own glory and goodness.
Lord, in Your mercy,

Alpha and Omega, You are with Your people always to the very end of the age.

Comfort those afflicted in body or mind, soul or spirit,
especially Donna Buchner, Stephanie Cabral, Leslie Cornelius, Carol Klein, Bryce Martin, Sara Rellbold, Lilian and Hector Viveros, those on our printed prayer lists, and those named from our hearts and minds now…

Give them grace to entrust themselves into Your loving hands,
and to await relief according to Your good and gracious will. Lord, in Your mercy,

Living One, You are alive forever and ever – You hold the keys of death and Hades.
Abide with those who grieve the loss of loved ones, especially…
the family and friends of Mickey Cunningham, father of Tiffany LaBrie;
the family and friends of Marcella James, sister-in-law of Stephanie Blanchard;
the family and friends of Arlene Kramer, wife of Rev. Loren Kramer;
the family and friends of Marilyn Quandt, wife of Rev. Walter Quandt, mother of Melinda Schulteis;

Comfort them in their sorrow, and reassure them of the reality of the resurrection.
Lord, in Your mercy,

Almighty God, You are over all things.

We pray for wisdom and guidance for President Trump, Governor Newsom, and Mayor Slater, for protection for our active and reserve military,
for peace and justice here in our own land and throughout the world.

We thank You for our first responders, especially those who helped and served with the emergency in Garden Grove. And we praise You for the lifting of evacuation orders and the return of people to their homes. Continue to watch over our community.
Lord, in Your mercy,

One God in Trinity and Trinity in Unity - we praise You, we bless You, we worship You.

We give You all the glory because You have shown mercy to us.
For You live and reign - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – one God, now and forever. Amen.
