Entrance Hymn

Please stand

Invocation

In the name of the Father, of the ✠ Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Confession & Holy Absolution

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God who is faithful and just will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Silence for reflection & self-examination

Most Merciful God:
We confess that we are in bondage to sin and cannot free ourselves. We have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. For the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in Your will and walk in Your ways, to the glory of Your holy name. Amen.

The pastor addresses the congregation

With joy, I proclaim to you that Almighty God, rich in mercy, abundant in love, forgives you all your sin and grants you the newness of life in Jesus Christ.

Sermon Hymn

Sermon

The Creed

Together we confess The 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 catholic Church,
  the communion of saints,
  the forgiveness of sins,
  the resurrection of the body,
  and the life ✠ everlasting.  Amen

Sanctus


The Words of Our Lord

Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to the disciples and said: “Take, eat; this is My ☩ body, which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me.”

In the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying: “Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in My ☩ blood, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

Proclamation of Christ

As often as we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.
Amen. Come, Lord jesus.

O Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, in giving us Your body and blood to eat and drink, You lead us to remember and confess Your holy cross and passion, Your blessed death, Your rest in the tomb, Your resurrection from the dead, Your ascension into heaven, and Your coming for the final judgment. So remember us in Your kingdom and teach us to pray:

Lord's Prayer

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.
