WELCOME
What does it mean when the Pastor welcomes us to worship? It means Faith Lutheran extends a special welcome to
those who are single, married, or divorced. It means we
want to welcome the filthy rich as well as the dirt poor. We
want to welcome those children who are crying or soon will
be. It means you are welcome if you can sing like Justin Bieber or cannot sing at all. You’re welcome here if you’re “just
browsing,” just woke up or just got out of jail. We don’t care
if you’re more Lutheran than Old Martin or haven’t been to
worship in who knows how long. We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up yet, and to
teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome soccer
moms, NASCAR dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, lattesippers, vegetarians, junk-food eaters. We welcome those
who are in recovery or still addicted. We welcome you if
you’re having problems or you’re down in the dumps or if
you don’t like “organized religion,” we’ve been there too. If
you blew all your offering money at the casino, you’re welcome here. We offer a special welcome to those who think
the earth is flat, work too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or
because grandma is in town and wanted to go to church.
We welcome those who are inked, pierced or both. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right
now, had religion shoved down your throat as a kid or got
lost in traffic and wound up here by mistake. In other
words….
WE WELCOME YOU!

GATHERING SONG
O Beautiful for Spacious Skies (#888)
O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain:
America! America! God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life:
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness, and every gain divine.
O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears:
America! America! God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law.

APOSTOLIC GREETING
p. 203
KYRIE
p. 203
Have mercy on us, Lord, and hear our solemn prayer.
We come to hear your living word; it saves us from despair.
Have mercy on us, Christ, and wash away our sin.
Pour out your grace and make us whole
That new life may begin.
Have mercy on us, Lord; make sin and shame depart.
Renew us with your saving pow’r; create in us new hearts!

HYMN OF PRAISE
p. 204
Glory be to God in heaven; peace, good-will to all the earth.
Mighty God of all creation, Father of surpassing worth:
We exalt you, we adore you,
We lift high our thanks and praise.
Saints and angels bow before you;
Here on earth our songs we raise.
Glory be to Christ forever, Lamb of God and Lord of love.
Son of God and gracious Savior,
You have come from heaven above;
On the cross you died to save us;
Now you reign at God’s right hand.
Hear our prayer; restore, forgive us;
In your promise firm we stand.
Holy One we now acclaim you; Lord alone, to you we call;
Holy One in faith we name you,
God most high, yet near to all:
Jesus Christ, with God the Spirit,
In the Father’s splendor bright.
For the peace that we inherit, glory be to God on high!

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
Let the Vineyards Be Fruitful (#184)
Let the vineyards be fruitful, Lord,
And fill to the brim our cup of blessing.
Gather a harvest from the seeds that were sown,
That we may be fed with the bread of life.
Gather the hopes and dreams of all;
Unite them with the prayers we offer.
Grace our table with your presence,
And give us a foretaste of the feast to come.

SONG OF THE DAY
Rise, Shine, You People! ( #665)
Rise, shine, you people!
Christ the Lord has entered our human story;
God in him is centered.
He comes to us, by death and sin surrounded,
With grace unbounded.
See how he sends the power of evil reeling;
He brings us freedom, light and life and healing.
All men and women, who by guilt are driven,
Now are forgiven.
Come, celebrate; your banners high unfurling,
Your songs and prayers against the darkness hurling.
To all the world go out and tell the story of Jesus’ glory.
Tell how the Father sent the Son to save us.
Tell of the Son, who life and freedom gave us.
Tell how the Spirit calls from every nation
God’s new creation.

Jesus Loves Me (#595)
Jesus loves me! This I know, for the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to him belong, they are weak, but he is strong.
(chorus)
Yes, Jesus loves me, yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so.

OFFERTORY CREED
My Church is composed of people like me.
We make it what it is.
It will be friendly if I am friendly.
Its pews will be filled if I help fill them.
It will be generous if I am a generous giver.
It will be welcoming of others if I welcome others.
This church will be a church of love, fearlessness,
and faith if I am filled with these things.
Therefore, with the help of God, I shall dedicate myself to the
task of being all the things I want my church to be.

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;

Who trespass against us;

forever and ever. Amen.
ORDER OF WORSHIP
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty (#413)
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, blessed 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! Through the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye of sinfulness 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, blessed Trinity!
What the Lord Has Done In Me
Let the weak say I am strong let the poor
say I am rich let the blind say I can see it's
what the Lord has done in me
Hosanna hosanna to the Lamb that was slain
Hosanna hosanna Jesus died and rose again
Into the river I will wade there my sins are
washed away from the heavens mercy
Streams of the Savior's love for me I will rise
from waters deep into the saving arms of
God I will sing salvation songs Jesus Christ
has set me free
THE 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.

SENDING SONG
Shout to the Lord (#821)
My Jesus, My Savior,
Lord there is none like You
All of my days I want to praise
The wonder of Your mighty love.
My comfort, my shelter,
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You.
(Chorus)
Shout to the Lord all the earth let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the King
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your Name
I sing for joy at the work of Your Hands
Forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise
I have in You.
Pastor: Go In Peace! Serve the Lord!
Congregation: Thanks be to God!
