Yoked Together, In Personal Service to Christ in World Wid
. . . a great multitude from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing
before the throne and before the Lamb, . . . Revelation 7:9
As We Gather– One of the objections voiced in the Reformation
was over what was called "the cult of the saints" (Augsburg
Confession, Article XXI). The objection wasn't so much over
remembering the saints as it was over "to call on the saints or to
ask the saints for help." (Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions,
Concordia Publishing House, 2005, p. 70). Instead, the Reformers
taught, "our churches teach that the history of saints may be set
before us so that we may follow the example of their faith and
good works, according to our calling." The New Testament uses
the word "saints" in a different way. Six of St. Paul's letters are
addressed to the saints who live in various cities of the Roman Empire. These letters reveal both
virtue and sinfulness in these congregations. To the apostle, the word saint was a synonym for
Christian. Many of our congregations have combined these two ideas in recent years, reading the
names of those who have died to this life and been born to eternal life in the past twelve months
and thanking our God for the testimony of their lives. Today's service includes this
commemoration.
THE WELCOME AND OPENING PRAYER
If there are prayer concerns for you, your family, your friends, or your neighbors,
please put them on the blue information card. Our Board of Elders are prayerful with
our pastors about these joys and struggles of our earthly journey.
“The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” James 5:16b

Dearest Jesus, Ruby take, Shepherd take thy lamb and feed her,
Prince of Peace make here Thy throne, Way of life, to heaven lead her.
Precious Vine, let nothing sever, From Thy side this branch forever!
Lord, into Thy heart we pour, Prayers that from our hearts proceeded;
Our petitions heavenward soar; May our warm desires be heeded!

C
P
C
P
But with You there is forgiveness; therefore, You are feared.
Since we are gathered to hear God’s Word, call upon Him in prayer and praise, let us first
consider our unworthiness and confess before God and one another that we have sinned
in thought, word, and deed, and that we cannot free ourselves from our sinful condition.
Together as His people, let us take refuge in the infinite mercy of God, our heavenly
Father, seeking His Grace for the sake of Christ, and saying: God be merciful to me, a
sinner.
Almighty God, have mercy upon us, forgive us our sins, and lead us to everlasting
life. Amen.
Almighty God in His mercy has given His Son to die for you and for His sake forgives
you all your sins. As a called and ordained servant of Christ, and by His authority, I
2
therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the † Son and of the
Holy Spirit.
[John 20:19-23]
C
Amen.

The Lord be with you.

THE COLLECT
Almighty and everlasting God, You knit together Your faithful people of all times and places into
one holy communion, the mystical body of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Grant us so to follow Your
3
blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living that, together with them, we may come to the
unspeakable joys You have prepared for those who love You; through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
P
Holy Father, with gratitude we now remember those of our parish family who now dwell
in Your presence in Heaven since we last gathered for All Saints Sunday. They are:
Brenda K. Traut, Linda Johnson, Doris Steffen, Delores L Jorgenson, Brad Norris,
Brooks H. Monfore, Bill Shattuck, Karla Whisenant, Lydia Thorn, Henry Gramm,

son Jonathan and Randy Hartmann and his son Air Force Academy Cadet & Senior Joshua
Hartmann.

Holy Baptism This morning by God’s extraordinary Word and with ordinary
water Ruby Marie Bonn becomes a daughter of God. Ruby Marie is the first
born child of Clark & Melissa Bonn. Ruby’s sponsors are Roxanne & Jason
Wagmann, Maggie Slaba, Bryan Slaba, Dustin Bonn, and Lance Bonn. May
God bless Ruby and keep her in His Holy care. This is Pastor Baumann’s first
Baptism at Faith and in his public ministry.
.
Holy Communion is celebrated at our 8:20 service today. In this Sacrament, our Lord brings us
strength and forgiveness to be about His vision and mission. Those confirmed Lutherans who
come to the Sacrament of the Altar today are asked to read the communion side of our
information card found in the pew rack and to sign the bottom of the reverse side so that our
communion records might be complete.
Early Communion Last Sunday, Reformation Sunday, seven more of our Midweek students
received their first communion following successful completion of the Early Communion classes.
They are: Dillon Axtell, Samantha Axtell, Adam Forman, Emily Haberling, Ethan Hill, Emma
Keith and Michael VanDeWiele.
The next Early Communion classes will be: Saturday, January 19 from 9:00-12:00 and
Saturday, January 26 from 9:00-10:30. Those attending the winter set of classes will be able to
commune on either Ash Wednesday, February 13 or the first Sunday in Lent, February 17.
Next Adult Inquirer’s Class Pastor Urbach will teach a winter Adult Inquirer’s class. It will
begin Thursday, February 7 at 7:00 p.m. and will be done before Holy Week.
It is a great Biblical and Doctrinal review for our members and a way in which those
interested in becoming Lutheran and knowing what our church teaches may become members.
First Sunday of the Month Morning Fellowship Join us in the Christian Family
Life Center after our 8:20 service for a fresh cup of coffee, goodies, and fellowship.
We thank Mary/Martha Circle for the goodies today.
