BAPTISM – 9:30
Palmer Grace Terry
CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION
P: If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
C: Amen.
C: But if we confess our sins, God who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(Silence for reflection on God’s Word and for self-examination)
P: Let us then confess our sins to God our Father.
C: Most merciful God, we confess that we are by nature sinful and unclean. We have
sinned against You in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what
we have left undone. We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have not
loved our neighbors as ourselves. We justly deserve Your present and eternal
punishment. For the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us,
renew us, and lead us so that we may delight in Your will and walk in Your ways to
the glory of Your holy name. Amen.
P: Almighty God in His mercy has given His Son to die for you and for His sake forgives
you all your sins. 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 † Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

OLD TESTAMENT READING
Genesis 1:24-31
And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the
livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each
according to its kind.” And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their
kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the
ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let
us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the
sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the
creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the
image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the
earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every
living creature that moves on the ground.” Then God said, “I give you every seed-
bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it.
They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky
and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of
life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so. God saw all that he had
made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth
day.
Pastor: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Praise to You, O Christ.
EPISTLE READING
1 Corinthians 15:45-57
So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving
spirit. The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. The
first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. As was the earthly
man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who
are of heaven. And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear
the image of the heavenly man. I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash,
in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will
be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself
with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been
clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is
written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is
your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of
sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ.
Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
ALLELUIA VERSE
Alleluia. Lord, to whom shall we go?
You have the words of eternal life.
Alleluia, alleluia.
HOLY GOSPEL
Pastor: The Holy Gospel according to St. John, the first chapter.
People: Glory to You, O Lord.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He
was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing
was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all
mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There
was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to
testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not
the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to
everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was
made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his
own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who
believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—children born not of
natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
P: This is the Gospel of the Lord.
C: Praise to You, O Christ.
NICENE CREED – Saturday
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth and of all
things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of
God, begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of
very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all
things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and
was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was made man; and was
crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried. And the third
day He rose again according to the Scriptures and ascended into heaven and sits at the
right hand of the Father. And he will come again with glory to judge both the living
and the dead, whose kingdom will have no end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the
Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father
and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And I
believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church, I acknowledge on Baptism for the
remission of sins, and I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the
world to come. Amen.
APOSTLES’ CREED – Sunday
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin
Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He
descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into
heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will
come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian
Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
SERMON HYMN – LSB 544
“O Love How Deep”
1. O love, how deep, how broad, how high,
Beyond all thought and fantasy,
That God, the son of God, should take
Our mortal form for mortals’ sake!
2. He sent no angel to our race,
Of higher or of lower place,
But wore the robe of human frame,
And to this world Himself He came.
3. For us baptized, for us He bore
His holy fast and hungered sore;
For us temptation sharp He knew;
For us the tempter overthrew.
4. For us He prayed; For us He taught;
For us His daily works He wrought,
By words and signs and actions thus
Still seeking not Himself but us.
5. For us by wickedness betrayed,
For us, in crown of thorns arrayed,
He bore the shameful cross and death;
For us He gave His dying breath.

“Hail Thou Once Despised Jesus”
1. Hail, Thou once despised Jesus!

Hail, Thou universal Savior,
Bearer of our sin and shame!

Life is given through Thy name.

Through the virtue of Thy blood;
Opened is the gate of heaven,
Reconciled are we with God.

There forever to abide;
All the heav’nly hosts adore Thee,

There Thou dost our place prepare,
Ever for us interceding till in glory we appear.

Highest praises, without ceasing,
Right it is for us to give.

Help to chant Immanuel’s praise!
