Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.\n\n\n\nThe Lessons\n\n\n\nFirst Reading: Jonah 3:1-5, 10                                                                Read by L. Trevarthan\n\n\n\nThe word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying, “Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.” So Jonah set out and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly large city, a three days’ walk across. Jonah began to go into the city, going a day’s walk. And he cried out, “Forty days more, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” And the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast, and everyone, great and small, put on sackcloth. When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil ways, God changed his mind about the calamity that he had said he would bring upon them; and he did not do it.\n\n\n\nPsalm: 62:6-14                                                                                           Read by L. Trevarthan\n\n\n\n6 For God alone my soul in silence waits; *\n\n\n\ntruly, my hope is in him.\n\n\n\n7 He alone is my rock and my salvation, *\n\n\n\nmy stronghold, so that I shall not be shaken.\n\n\n\n8 In God is my safety and my honor; *\n\n\n\nGod is my strong rock and my refuge.\n\n\n\n9 Put your trust in him always, O people, *\n\n\n\npour out your hearts before him, for God is our refuge.\n\n\n\n10 Those of high degree are but a fleeting breath, *\n\n\n\neven those of low estate cannot be trusted.\n\n\n\n11 On the scales they are lighter than a breath, *\n\n\n\nall of them together.\n\n\n\n12 Put no trust in extortion;\n\n\n\nin robbery take no empty pride; *\n\n\n\nthough wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.\n\n\n\n13 God has spoken once, twice have I heard it, *\n\n\n\nthat power belongs to God.\n\n\n\n14 Steadfast love is yours, O Lord, *\n\n\n\nfor you repay everyone according to his deeds.\n\n\n\nthough wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.\n\n\n\n13 God has spoken once, twice have I heard it, *\n\n\n\nthat power belongs to God.\n\n\n\n14 Steadfast love is yours, O Lord, *\n\n\n\nfor you repay everyone according to his deeds.\n\n\n\nSecond Reading: 1 Corinthians 7:29-31                                                 Read by L. Trevarthan\n\n\n\nI mean, brothers and sisters, the appointed time has grown short; from now on, let even those who have wives be as though they had none, and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no possessions, and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the present form of this world is passing away.\n\n\n\nCelebrant: The Word of the Lord.\n\n\n\nPeople: Thanks be to God.\n\n\n\nSequence Hymn    “They cast their nets in Galilee”   Hymnal 661  v. 1 & 2\n\n\n\n1          They cast their nets in Galilee just off the hills of brown;\n\n\n\n            such happy simple fisher folk before the Lord came down.\n\n\n\n2          Contented, peaceful fishermen, before they ever knew\n\n\n\n            the peace of God that filled their hearts brimful, and broke them too.\n\n\n\nThe Gospel: Mark 1:14-20                                                                     The Rev. Deacon Kay Drebert\n\n\n\nDeacon: The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ according to Mark.\n\n\n\nPeople: Glory to You, Lord Christ.\n\n\n\nAfter John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.” As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you fish for people.” And immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him.\n\n\n\nDeacon: The Gospel of the Lord.\n\n\n\nPeople: Praise to you, Lord Christ.\n\n\n\nThe Homily                                                                                                        Mr. John Endress\n\n\n\nNicene Creed\n\n\n\nWe believe in one God,\n\n\n\nthe Father, the Almighty,\n\n\n\nmaker of heaven and earth,\n\n\n\nof all that is, seen and unseen.\n\n\n\nWe believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,\n\n\n\nthe only Son of God,\n\n\n\neternally begotten of the Father,\n\n\n\nGod from God, Light from Light,\n\n\n\ntrue God from true God,\n\n\n\nbegotten, not made,\n\n\n\nof one Being with the Father.\n\n\n\nThrough him all things were made.\n\n\n\nFor us and for our salvation\n\n\n\nhe came down from heaven:\n\n\n\nby the power of the Holy Spirit\n\n\n\nhe became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,\n\n\n\nand was made man.\n\n\n\nFor our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;\n\n\n\nhe suffered death and was buried.\n\n\n\nOn the third day he rose again\n\n\n\nin accordance with the Scriptures;\n\n\n\nhe ascended into heaven\n\n\n\nand is seated at the right hand of the Father.\n\n\n\nHe will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,\n\n\n\nand his kingdom will have no end.\n\n\n\nWe believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,\n\n\n\nwho proceeds from the Father and the Son.\n\n\n\nWith the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.\n\n\n\nHe has spoken through the Prophets.\n\n\n\nWe believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.\n\n\n\nWe acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.\n\n\n\nWe look for the resurrection of the dead,\n\n\n\nand the life of the world to come.
