1 L a ke of the I sles Lutheran Church All Saints Sunday November 4, 2017 All Saints celebrates the baptized people of God, living and dead, who are the body of Christ. As November heralds the dying of the landscape in many northern regions, the readings and liturgy call us to remember all who have died in Christ and whose baptism is complete. At the Lord s table we gather with the faithful of every time and place, trusting that the promises of God will be fulfilled and that all tears will be wiped away in the new Jerusalem. We are grateful for the friends and members of Lake of the Isles who have given gifts to the Endowment Fund in memory or in honor of the saints in their lives. The following have been remembered in prayers and special gifts this past year. Susanne Amann Elisa Benson Reuben & Clarice Anderson Beverly Bergford Nick Bremer Sandy Hill Gayle Hoyt Minor & Margaret Schuldt Alice Gunter Natalie Larson Eldris Wilkens Emmie Burton Linda Sabatke Philip Peterson Jane Schuldt Eva & Richard Pepin, Sr. Thomas Richard Pfeifer Stella Cleo Turnbull George Austin Daly Patricia Nortwen Inspired by Christ, living and growing in faith, we are a loving and open community of worship, witness, and service in God s world.

2 Gathering Following the call of God s Spirit, the community of faith gathers, welcoming one another and praying for God s mercy to fill the church and the world. We invite you to use the prelude time to prepare your heart and mind for worship. Prelude Welcome Service of Dedication Please stand Gathering Hymn Apostolic Greeting Prayer of the Day Please be seated. Improvisation K. Vigne Psalm 44 The earth is the Lord s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it; for he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the rivers. Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place? Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, who do not lift up their souls to what is false, and do not swear deceitfully. They will receive blessing from the Lord, and vindication from the God of their salvation. Such is the company of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit As it was in the beginning is now and will be forever. Amen. For All The Saints ELW #422 Vs 1 All, Vs 2 Women, Vs 5 Choir, Vs 6 Men & Vs 7 All P: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

3 Dismissal Song Verses 1 & 4 Revelation 21:1-6 Here is a vision of the new heaven and new earth in which God resides fully with his people so that mourning, despair and pain have been destroyed. Reading Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away. And the one who was seated on the throne said, See, I am making all things new. Also he said, Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true. Then he said to me, It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life. Requiem Op. 48 by Gabriel Fauré Introit and Kyrie Rest eternal grant them, Lord our God, we pray to thee, And let light perpetual shine upon them.

Please be seated Gospel 32 When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. 34 He said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see. 35 Jesus began to weep. 36 So the Jews said, See how he loved him! 37 But some of them said, Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying? 38 Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. 39 Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days. 40 Jesus said to her, Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God? 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, Father, I thank you for having heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me. 43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come out! 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, Unbind him, and let him go. P: The Gospel of our Lord. C: Praise to you, O Christ.
