THE LONG SEASON OF SUNDAYS AFTER PENTECOST – ORDINARY TIMEThe Sundays after Pentecost, the long second half of the church year, depicts the life of the church. These Sundays are also referred to as the Ordinary Time of the church year. A helpful approach to capturing the ebb and flow of this long season is to frame these Sundays by dividing them into four little seasons shaped by four feast days: (1) Pentecost; (2) the Nativity of St. John the Baptist on June 24; (3) St. Michael and All Angels on September 29, and (4) All Saints Day on November first.

The second of these little seasons may be referred to as St. John the Baptist Tide which emphasizes baptismal life as it is nourished by the gifts of the church and lived out in our daily vocations. It is bookended by the Sundays between June 24, “The Nativity of St. John the Baptist” and “St. Michael and All Angels” on September 29. In this little season, we are reminded that as John the Baptist’s ministry was one of pointing to Jesus, the coming Messiah, so does the church today point to Jesus, the Savior of the world. In comparing himself to Jesus, John once said, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” (John 3:30). There is a great commission texture to these Sundays as the Holy Spirit continues to be “poured out” into our lives and into the world.

GATHERING

PREPARING FOR WORSHIPThe African American spiritual “Give Me Jesus” begins “In the morning when I rise, Give me

Jesus,” words that remind us that our Savior, Jesus, is with us at all times. The same truth is expressed in another hymn in which English hymnist Timothy Dudley-Smith writes: “Christ be my Leader by night as by day; Safe through the darkness, for He is the way.” Jesus Christ, whom we confess in the Creed, is always there to comfort and to guide us. Our songs of praise, whether new to us or old favorites, can well express our thanksgiving for His loving care.

P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit.C Amen. Matthew 28:19b; [18:20]

P Our help is in the name of the Lord,C who made heaven and earth. Psalm 124:8

P If You, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?C But with You there is forgiveness; therefore You are feared. Psalm 130:3-4

P Since we are gathered to hear God’s Word, call upon Him in prayer and praise, and receive the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ in the fellowship of this altar, let us first consider our unworthiness and confess before God and one another that we have sinned in thought, word, and deed, and that we cannot free ourselves from our sinful condition. Together as His people let us take refuge in the infinite mercy of God, our heavenly Father, seeking His grace for the sake of Christ, and saying:

C God, be merciful to me, a sinner. [Luke 18:13]

Kneel/SitSilence for reflection and for self-examination.

P Almighty God, C have mercy upon us, forgive us our sins,

and lead us to everlasting life. Amen.

P Almighty God in His mercy has given His Son to die and rise for you, and for His sake forgives all your sins and frees you to live as His disciple. As a called and ordained servant of Christ and by His authority, I therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C Amen.

26Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs. 28When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.” 29For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.) 30Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him. 31And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss. 32Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. 33Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

34When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. 35Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 36And those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed. 37Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned. 38The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39“Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him. P This is the Gospel of the Lord.C Praise to You, O Christ.

With blessings rich provide us; And may the brightness of His face To life eternal guide us, That we His saving health may know, His gracious will and pleasure, And also to the nations show Christ’s riches without measure And unto God convert them.

2 Thine over all shall be the praise And thanks of ev’ry nation; And all the world with joy shall raise The voice of exultation. For Thou shalt judge the earth, O Lord, Nor suffer sin to flourish; Thy people’s pasture is Thy Word Their souls to feed and nourish, In righteous paths to keep them.

APOSTLES’ CREEDP God has made us His people through Baptism into Christ.

Living together in trust and hope, we confess our faith:C I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit

and born of the virgin Mary.He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.He descended into hell.

On the third day He rose again.He ascended into heaven,

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy *catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life T everlasting. Amen.

*The ancient text reads “catholic,” meaning the wholeChurch as it confesses the wholeness of Christian faith.

SANCTUS ~ Holy, Holy, Holy Isaiah 6:3, Matthew 21:9

LORD’S SUPPER P Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.C It is right to give Him thanks and praise. P It is truly good, right, and salutary that we should at all times and in all places give thanks to You,

O Lord, holy Father, almighty and everlasting God, for the countless blessings You so freely bestow on us and all creation. Above all, we give thanks for Your boundless love shown to us when You sent Your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, into our flesh and laid on Him our sin, giving Him into death that we might not die eternally. Because He is now risen from the dead and lives and reigns to all eternity, all who believe in Him will overcome sin and death and will rise again to new life. Therefore with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven we laud and magnify Your glorious name, evermore praising You and saying:

Prayer of ThanksgivingP Blessed are You, O Lord our God, king of all creation, for You have had mercy on us and given

Your only-begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. In Your righteous judgment You condemned the sin of Adam and Eve, who ate the forbidden fruit, and You justly barred them and all their children from the tree of life. Yet, in Your great mercy, You promised salvation by a second Adam, Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, and made His cross a life-giving tree for all who trust in Him. We give You thanks for the redemption You have prepared for us through Jesus Christ. Grant us Your Holy Spirit that we may faithfully eat and drink of the fruits of His cross and receive the blessings of forgiveness, life, and salvation that come to us in His body and blood. Hear us as we pray in His name and as He has taught us:

P Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.C It is right to give Him thanks and praise. P It is truly good, right, and salutary that we should at all times and in all places give thanks to You,

O Lord, holy Father, almighty and everlasting God, for the countless blessings You so freely bestow on us and all creation.

Prayer of ThanksgivingP Blessed are You, O Lord our God, king of all creation, for You have had mercy on us and given

Your only-begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. In Your righteous judgment You condemned the sin of Adam and Eve, who ate the forbidden fruit, and You justly barred them and all their children from the tree of life. Yet, in Your great mercy, You promised salvation by a second Adam, Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, and made His cross a life-giving tree for all who trust in Him. We give You thanks for the redemption You have prepared for us through Jesus Christ. Grant us Your Holy Spirit that we may faithfully eat and drink of the fruits of His cross and receive the blessings of forgiveness, life, and salvation that come to us in His body and blood. Hear us as we pray in His name and as He has taught us:

P Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.C It is right to give Him thanks and praise. P It is truly good, right, and salutary that we should at all times and in all places give thanks to You,

O Lord, holy Father, almighty and everlasting God, for the countless blessings You so freely bestow on us and all creation. Above all, we give thanks for Your boundless love shown to us when You sent Your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, into our flesh and laid on Him our sin, giving Him into death that we might not die eternally. Because He is now risen from the dead and lives and reigns to all eternity, all who believe in Him will overcome sin and death and will rise again to new life. Therefore with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven we laud and magnify Your glorious name, evermore praising You and saying:

Distribution NotesThe Lord’s Supper is joyfully received here today. At the altar, our Lord Jesus Christ gives us a tremendous gift. His body and blood in, with, and under the bread and wine forgives our sins, strengthens our faith, binds us to the Lord and embodies our unity with one another. Accordingly, in 1 Corinthians 11, St. Paul cautions Christians to receive the Supper together only when they are united in a common faith and love. If you are new to our congregation please see the pastor before communing.

The Eucharist will be distributed in a continuous manner from the center aisle. At the ushers direction, please proceed down the center aisle (wearing masks) and spaced at 6 foot intervals.

✤ Those not communing are invited to come forward for a blessing indicating so by crossing your arms over your chest.

✤ Those communing receive the host from the pastor and then may receive the consecrated wine by Common Cup OR Individual Cup.➡ Common Cup: Please proceed to the second elder and receive the Common Cup normally,

assisting the elder by guiding the base of the cup with your hand.➡ Individual Cup: Please take an empty Individual Cup from the chalice dispenser, then hold

the base of the individual cup with BOTH hands for the first elder to pour the consecrated wine from the pouring chalice into your cup. Place used individual cup in collection basket.

After receiving the elements the center pews will exit along the side aisles and the side pews will exit along the brick wall. Please inform an usher if you want the elements to be brought to you.

Lord’s PrayerC 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.

thanks, He broke it and gave it to the disciples and said: “Take, eat; this is My T body, which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me.” In the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying: “Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in My T blood, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing – LSB 5281 Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing

My great Redeemer’s praise, The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of His grace!

2 My gracious Master and my God, Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad, The honors of Thy name.

3 Jesus! The name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease; ’Tis music in the sinner’s ears, ’Tis life and health and peace.

4 He breaks the pow’r of canceled sin; He sets the pris’ner free. His blood can make the foulest clean; His blood avails for me.

5 Look unto Him, ye nations; own Your God, ye fallen race. Look and be saved through faith alone, Be justified by grace.

6 See all your sins on Jesus laid; The Lamb of God was slain. His soul was once an off’ring made For ev’ry soul of man.

7 To God all glory, praise, and love Be now and ever giv’n By saints below and saints above, The Church in earth and heav’n.

SENDING HYMN In Christ There Is No East or West – LSB 653

1 In Christ there is no east or west, In Him no south or north, But one great fellowship of love Throughout the whole wide earth.

2 With God there is no tribe or race; In Him we all are one. He loves us as His children through Our faith in His dear Son.

3 So, brothers, sisters, praise His name Who died to set us free From sin, division, hate, and shame, From spite and enmity!

4 Join hands, disciples of the faith, Whate’er your race may be; Who serves my Father as His child Is surely kin to me.

5 In Christ now meet both east and west; In Him meet south and north. All Christian souls are one in Him Throughout the whole wide earth.
