Snyder & S. MacLennan\n\n\n\nGod spake these words, and said:\n\n\n\nI am the Lord thy God who brought thee out of the land of\n\n\n\nEgypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have none\n\n\n\nother gods but me.\n\n\n\nLord have mercy upon us,and incline our hearts to keep this law.\n\n\n\nThou shalt not make to thyself any graven image, nor the\n\n\n\nlikeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth\n\n\n\nbeneath, or in the water under the earth; thou shalt not bow\n\n\n\ndown to them, nor worship them.\n\n\n\nLord have mercy upon us,and incline our hearts to keep this law.\n\n\n\nThou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain.\n\n\n\nLord have mercy upon us,and incline our hearts to keep this law.\n\n\n\nRemember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day.\n\n\n\nLord have mercy upon us,and incline our hearts to keep this law.\n\n\n\nHonor thy father and thy mother.\n\n\n\nLord have mercy upon us,and incline our hearts to keep this law.\n\n\n\nThou shalt do no murder.\n\n\n\nLord have mercy upon us,and incline our hearts to keep this law.\n\n\n\nThou shalt not commit adultery.\n\n\n\nLord have mercy upon us,and incline our hearts to keep this law.\n\n\n\nThou shalt not steal.\n\n\n\nLord have mercy upon us,and incline our hearts to keep this law.\n\n\n\nThou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.\n\n\n\nLord have mercy upon us,and incline our hearts to keep this law.\n\n\n\nThou shalt not covet.\n\n\n\nLord have mercy upon us,and write all these thy laws in our hearts, we beseech thee.\n\n\n\nCelebrant:\n\n\n\nHear what our Lord Jesus saith: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with\n\n\n\nall thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great\n\n\n\ncommandment. And the second is like unto it: Thou shalt\n\n\n\nlove thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments\n\n\n\nhang all the Law and the Prophets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConfession\n\n\n\nDeacon: \n\n\n\nLet us humbly confess our sins unto Almighty God.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll: \n\n\n\nAlmighty and most merciful father,\n\n\n\nwe have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep,\n\n\n\nwe have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts,\n\n\n\nwe have offended against thy holy laws,\n\n\n\nwe have left undone those things which we ought to have done,\n\n\n\nand we have done those things which we ought not to have done.\n\n\n\nBut thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us,\n\n\n\nspare thou those who confess their faults,\n\n\n\nrestore thou those who are penitent,\n\n\n\naccording to thy promises declared unto mankind\n\n\n\nin Christ Jesus our Lord;\n\n\n\nand grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake,\n\n\n\nthat we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life,\n\n\n\nto the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbsolution\n\n\n\nThe Almighty and merciful Lord grant you absolution and\n\n\n\nremission of all your sins, true repentance, amendment of\n\n\n\nlife, and the grace and consolation of his Holy Spirit. Amen.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKyrie\n\n\n\nLord have mercy upon us.\n\n\n\nChrist have mercy upon us.\n\n\n\nLord have mercy upon us.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCollect of the Day\n\n\n\nCelebrant: The Lord be with You.\n\n\n\nPeople: And with thy Spirit\n\n\n\nCelebrant: Let us pray.\n\n\n\nAlmighty God, who seest that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFirst Reading: Exodus 20:1-17                                                                    Reader: P. Dutra\n\n\n\nThen God spoke all these words: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name. Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. For six days you shall labour and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it. Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPsalm 19\n\n\n\n1 The heavens declare the glory of God, *\n\n\n\nand the firmament shows his handiwork.\n\n\n\n2 One day tells its tale to another, *\n\n\n\nand one night imparts knowledge to another.\n\n\n\n3 Although they have no words or language, *\n\n\n\nand their voices are not heard,\n\n\n\n4 Their sound has gone out into all lands, *\n\n\n\nand their message to the ends of the world.\n\n\n\n5 In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; *\n\n\n\nit comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber;\n\n\n\nit rejoices like a champion to run its course.\n\n\n\n6 It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens\n\n\n\nand runs about to the end of it again; *\n\n\n\nnothing is hidden from its burning heat.\n\n\n\n7 The law of the Lord is perfect\n\n\n\nand revives the soul; *\n\n\n\nthe testimony of the Lord is sure\n\n\n\nand gives wisdom to the innocent.\n\n\n\n8 The statutes of the Lord are just\n\n\n\nand rejoice the heart; *\n\n\n\nthe commandment of the Lord is clear\n\n\n\nand gives light to the eyes.\n\n\n\n9 The fear of the Lord is clean\n\n\n\nand endures for ever; *\n\n\n\nthe judgments of the Lord are true\n\n\n\nand righteous altogether.\n\n\n\n10 More to be desired are they than gold,\n\n\n\nmore than much fine gold, *\n\n\n\nsweeter far than honey,\n\n\n\nthan honey in the comb.\n\n\n\n11 By them also is your servant enlightened, *\n\n\n\nand in keeping them there is great reward.\n\n\n\n12 Who can tell how often he offends? *\n\n\n\ncleanse me from my secret faults.\n\n\n\n13 Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins;\n\n\n\nlet them not get dominion over me; *\n\n\n\nthen shall I be whole and sound,\n\n\n\nand innocent of a great offense.\n\n\n\n14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my\n\n\n\nheart be acceptable in your sight, *\n\n\n\nO Lord, my strength and my redeemer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSecond Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25                                                      Reader: P. Dutra \n\n\n\nThe message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSequence Hymn    “Help us, O Lord, to learn”    Hymnal 628  v. 1, 2, 3\n\n\n\n1 Help us, O Lord, to learn the truths your word imparts;\n\n\n\nto study, that your laws may be inscribed upon our hearts.\n\n\n\n2 Help us, O Lord, to live the faith which we proclaim,\n\n\n\nthat all our thoughts and words and deeds may glorify your Name.\n\n\n\n3 Help us, O Lord, to teach the beauty of your ways,\n\n\n\nthat yearning souls may find the Christ and live a life of praise.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Gospel: John 2:13-22                                                        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 be to thee O Lord.\n\n\n\nThe Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. He told those who were selling the doves, “Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father’s house a marketplace!” His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” The Jews then said to him, “What sign can you show us for doing this?” Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking of the temple of his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.\n\n\n\nDeacon: The Gospel of the Lord.\n\n\n\nPeople: Praise be to thee, O Christ.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHomily                                                                                         Rev.
