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\nConfession\n\n\n\nDeacon: \n\n\n\nLet us humbly confess our sins unto Almighty God.\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\nFirst Reading: Jeremiah 31:31-34                                                           Reader: D. Crocker\n\n\n\nThe days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt—a covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, says the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, “Know the Lord,” for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more.\n\n\n\nPsalm 51:1-13\n\n\n\n1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving-kindness; *\n\n\n\nin your great compassion blot out my offenses.\n\n\n\n2 Wash me through and through from my wickedness *\n\n\n\nand cleanse me from my sin.\n\n\n\n3 For I know my transgressions, *\n\n\n\nand my sin is ever before me.\n\n\n\n4 Against you only have I sinned *\n\n\n\nand done what is evil in your sight.\n\n\n\n5 And so you are justified when you speak *\n\n\n\nand upright in your judgment.\n\n\n\n6 Indeed, I have been wicked from my birth, *\n\n\n\na sinner from my mother’s womb.\n\n\n\n7 For behold, you look for truth deep within me, *\n\n\n\nand will make me understand wisdom secretly.\n\n\n\n8 Purge me from my sin, and I shall be pure; *\n\n\n\nwash me, and I shall be clean indeed.\n\n\n\n9 Make me hear of joy and gladness, *\n\n\n\nthat the body you have broken may rejoice.\n\n\n\n10 Hide your face from my sins *\n\n\n\nand blot out all my iniquities.\n\n\n\n11 Create in me a clean heart, O God, *\n\n\n\nand renew a right spirit within me.\n\n\n\n12 Cast me not away from your presence *\n\n\n\nand take not your holy Spirit from me.\n\n\n\n13 Give me the joy of your saving help again *\n\n\n\nand sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.\n\n\n\nSecond Reading: Hebrews 5:5-10                                                            Reader: D. Crocker\n\n\n\nChrist did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”; as he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered; and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.\n\n\n\nSequence Hymn    “When I survey the wondrous cross”     Hymnal 474  v. 1 & 2\n\n\n\n1 When I survey the wondrous cross \n\n\n\nwhere the young Prince of Glory died,\n\n\n\nmy richest gain I count but loss,\n\n\n\nand pour contempt on all my pride.\n\n\n\n2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,\n\n\n\nsave in the cross of Christ my God:\n\n\n\nall the vain things that charm me most,\n\n\n\nI sacrifice them to his blood.\n\n\n\nThe Gospel: John 12:20-33                                                      The Rev. Deacon Kay Drebert\n\n\n\nDeacon: The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ according to John.\n\n\n\nPeople: Glory be to thee O Lord.\n\n\n\nNow among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor. “Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say—‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die.\n\n\n\nDeacon: The Gospel of the Lord.\n\n\n\nPeople: Praise be to thee, O Christ.\n\n\n\nHomily                                                                                                     Mr. John Endress\n\n\n\nThe Nicene 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\n We look for the resurrection of the dead,\n\n\n\n and the life of the world to come.

Open, O Lord, the eyes of all people to behold thy gracious hand in all thy works, that, rejoicing in thy whole creation, they may honor thee with their substance, and be faithful stewards of thy bounty.\n\n\n\nAnd we most humbly beseech thee, of thy goodness, O Lord, to comfort and succor Connor, Connie, Gabriella, George, Joan, Joell, Millie, Rose, Father Jim & his family, and all those who in this transitory life, are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity.\n\n\n\nAnd we also bless thy holy Name for all thy servants departed this life in thy faith and fear, beseeching thee to grant them continual growth in thy love and service; and to grant us grace so to follow the good examples of all thy saints, that with them we may be partakers of thy heavenly kingdom.\n\n\n\nGrant these our prayers, O Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake,\n\n\n\nour only Mediator and Advocate. Amen.\n\n\n\nThe Offertory   “Wondrous Love”   arr.

We present to you our souls and bodies with the earnest wish that we may always be united to you, and since we cannot now receive you sacramentally in the Bread and the Wine, we ask you to come spiritually into our hearts. We unite ourselves with you, and embrace you with all the love of our souls. Let nothing ever separate you from us. May we live in you, and may you live in us, both in this life and in the life to come.
