Prelude, Welcome, and Information Hymn #785 When Peace Like a River |
|
The grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you
all. And also with
you. Psalm Psalm 107 1O give thanks to the Lord,
for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever. 2Let the redeemed of
the Lord say so, those he redeemed from trouble 3and gathered in from the lands,
from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. 23Some went down to the sea in
ships, doing business on the mighty waters; 24they saw the deeds of
the Lord, his wondrous works in the deep. 25For he commanded and raised the
stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. 26They mounted up to heaven, they
went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their calamity; 27they reeled and staggered like
drunkards, and were at their wits’ end. 28Then they cried to
the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out from their
distress; 29he made the storm be still, and
the waves of the sea were hushed. 30Then they were glad because they
had quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven. 31Let them thank
the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to
humankind. 32Let them extol him in the
congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. Hymn of Praise (Rev. 15:3b4) Great and amazing are
your deeds, Just and true are your
ways, Lord, who will not fear For you alone are holy. for your judgments
have been revealed. |
|
The Lord be with you. And
also with you. Let us pray. O God of creation, eternal
majesty, you preside over land and sea, sunshine and storm. By your strength
pilot us, by your power preserve us, by your wisdom instruct us, and by your
hand protect us, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen. |
Reading:
Job 38:1-11
A reading from the book of Genesis
Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind: 2“Who
is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? 3Gird
up your loins like a man, I will question you, and you shall declare to me.
4“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you
have understanding. 5Who determined its measurements—surely you
know! Or who stretched the line upon it? 6On what were its
bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone 7when the morning stars
sang together and all the heavenly beings shouted for joy? 8“Or
who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb?— 9when
I made the clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band, 10and
prescribed bounds for it, and set bars and doors, 11and said,
‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be
stopped’?
The Word of the Lord
Reading:
2 Corinthians 6:1-13
A reading from the second letter to the Corinthians
As we work
together with him, we urge you also not to accept the grace of God in
vain. 2For he says, “At an acceptable time I have listened to
you, and on a day of salvation I have helped you.” See, now is the acceptable
time; see, now is the day of salvation! 3We are putting no
obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our
ministry, 4but as servants of God we have commended ourselves
in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships,
calamities, 5beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless
nights, hunger; 6by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness,
holiness of spirit, genuine love, 7truthful speech, and the
power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the
left; 8in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We
are treated as impostors, and yet are true; 9as unknown, and
yet are well known; as dying, and see—we are alive; as punished, and yet not
killed; 10as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet
making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
11We have spoken frankly to you Corinthians; our heart is wide open to
you. 12There is no restriction in our affections, but only in
yours. 13In return—I speak as to children—open wide your hearts
also.
The Word of the Lord.
Gospel
Verse:
Alleluia! Now is the
acceptable time; now is the day of salvation. Alleluia!
Gospel Reading: Mark 4: 35-41
A reading from the Gospel of Mark
35On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to
the other side.” 36And leaving the crowd behind, they took him
with them in the boat, just as he was. Other boats were with him. 37A
great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was
already being swamped. 38But he was in the stern, asleep on the
cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that
we are perishing?” 39He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said
to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. 40He
said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?” 41And
they were filled with great awe and said to one another, “Who then is this,
that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
This is the Gospel of the Lord.

Hymn #462 Join We Now in Celebration
GREAT THANKSGIVING
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to the
Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give
him thanks and praise.
It is indeed right and salutary that we should at all times
and in all places offer thanks
and praise to you,
O Lord, holy Father, through Christ our Lord;
who on this day overcame
death and the grave,
and by his glorious
resurrection opened to us
the way of everlasting life.
And so, with the Church on earth and the hosts of heaven,
we praise your name and join their
unending hymn:
Holy,
holy, holy Lord, God of power and might:
Heaven and earth are full of your
glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed
is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna
in the highest.
Blessed are you, Lord of heaven and earth.
In mercy for our fallen world you gave your only Son,
that all those who believe in
him
should not perish, but have
eternal life.
We give thanks to you
for the salvation you have
prepared for us
through
Jesus Christ.
Send now your Holy Spirit into our hearts,
that we may receive our Lord
with a living faith
as he comes to us in his holy
supper.
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
In the night in which he was betrayed,
our Lord Jesus took bread, and
gave thanks;
broke it, and gave it to his
disciples, saying:
Take and eat; this is my
body, given for you.
Do this for the remembrance
of me.
Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks,
and gave it for all to drink,
saying:
This cup is the new covenant
in my blood,
shed for you and for all
people for the forgiveness of sin.
Do this for the remembrance of me.
Finally let us pray for all things as
our Lord would have us ask:
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.
Taking Communion
This is the body of Christ, given for each of us.
This is the blood of Christ, shed for each
of us.
Lord, now you let your servant go in peace;
your
word has been fulfilled.
My own eyes have seen the salvation
which
you have prepared
in
the sight of every people:
A light to reveal you to the nations
and the glory of your people Israel.
