5 Please stand Hymn of Invocation For All the Saints Public domain Invocation L In the Name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen. Confession and Absolution L If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. C But if we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. L Let us then kneel and confess our sins to God our Father. 5

6 C P 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. 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 T Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Please stand Service of the Word Salutation and Prayer of the Day L The Lord be with you. C And also with you. L Let us pray. L Holy Spirit, with real ears You hear us. With real words You speak to us through living saints. Call us to one faith, one baptism and one Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit one God and Father of all now and forever. C Amen. Please be seated First Reading Deuteronomy 5:6-11 & 18:9-13, I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 7 You shall have no other gods before me. 8 You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 10 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. 11 You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. 18:9 When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD; because of these same detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. 13 You must be blameless before the LORD your God. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him. 19 I myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name. R This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. 6

7 Second Reading Romans 8:22-27, We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with the will of God. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. R This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. Please stand L The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark, the 9 th chapter, verses C Glory to You, O Lord. 25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. You deaf and mute spirit, he said, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again. 26 The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, He s dead. 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up. 28 After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, Why couldn t we drive it out? 29 He replied, This kind can come out only by prayer. L This is the Gospel of the Lord. C Praise to You, O Christ. Nicene Creed C 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 one Baptism for the remission of sins, and I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life T of the world to come. Amen. 7

9 A Call to Remembrance On All Saints Day Sunday, we remember with love and gratitude those members of our parish and also relatives and friends of members who have died in the Lord during this past year and name them in our hearts: P: On this Day of All Saints, we remember with thanksgiving those of our parish who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith. They were created by God to offer Him praise forever, redeemed by Jesus, God's Son, and filled with the Holy Spirit through Baptism, where God gave them new life. They have been nourished in the company of His people through the Lord's Supper and the Word, and in His mercy God has summoned them to His presence that they may continue in joyful service to Him forever. We especially remember this day: Members / Former Members / Clergy Rev. Edwin Nicklas Rev. Darrell Stuehrenberg Rev. DeWayne Bontrager Rev. Robert Day McAmis Jim Cucci Roland Forstner Kari Holin Patricia Hoffmann P: Let us pray: In joyful expectation for the resurrection of the body to life, we remember before You, O Lord, all those who have gone before us in faith, whom we pause now to name in our hearts.

11 Agnus Dei Distribution and Hymns Please be seated General Distribution: We invite you to come up to the altar for communion. Special Distribution: Those that are unable to use the stairs to commune at the altar, please stay seated until a communion assistant team comes to the bottom of the stairs. An usher will guide you to walk up and receive communion. For those who cannot walk to the front, communion assistants will commune you at your seat. Holy Communion is a gift from God. It is the Lord s Table to which He invites us. As we prepare to receive the Sacrament, we might ask ourselves the following questions: Do I realize that I am a sinful human being? Do I understand that our Lord gave His life, His body and blood, for me on the cross that I might be forgiven of my sins and in His resurrection raised me to a new life? Do I realize that in the Lord s Supper He gives me His true body and blood that I might be assured of forgiveness and that my faith is strengthened that I might serve my Lord and through Him serve others? If you are a baptized Christian and share these Biblical truths, please join us in the celebration of the Sacrament. If you have not yet received instruction, please come forward for a blessing, crossing your arms over your chest to indicate you are not receiving the elements. Distribution Songs Awesome in This Place As I come into your presence, past the gates of praise Into Your sanctuary, till we re standing face to face I look upon Your countenance, I see the fullness of Your grace And I can only bow down and say You are awesome in this place Mighty God You are awesome in this place Abba Father You are worthy of all praise to You our lives we raise You are awesome in this place Mighty God 11

12 What Wondrous Love Is This Public domain Please stand Prayer of Thanksgiving P Let us pray C Amen. Benediction Closing Song One Thing Remains Higher than the mountains that I face, Stronger than the power of the grave Constant through the trial and the change One thing remains, This one thing remains Your love never fails, and never gives up, It never runs out on me Your love never fails, and never gives up, It never runs out on me Your love never fails, and never gives up, It never runs out on me 12

13 Because on and on and on and on it goes, Before it overwhelms and satisfies my soul And I never, ever, have to be afraid One thing remains, This one thing remains Your love never fails, and never gives up, It never runs out on me Your love never fails, and never gives up, It never runs out on me Your love never fails, and never gives up, It never runs out on me Your love In death, and in life, I'm confident and covered by the power of your great love My debt is paid, there's nothing that can separate, My heart from Your great love Your love never fails, and never gives up, It never runs out on me Your love never fails, and never gives up, It never runs out on me Your love never fails, and never gives up, It never runs out on me, it never fails P C Go in peace and serve the Lord.
