C: In the name of the Triune God, the only true God, we begin our worship this day. To Him be all honor and glory now and forever. P: Our help is in the name of the Lord. C: Our God is a great God. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. With him nothing shall be impossible. With God all things are possible. P: But we by ourselves have fallen short, we have sinned, we do not deserve to be called God s children. 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. P: Let us kneel and confess our sins to God our Father.

2 ALL: 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. ABSOLUTION: 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 the word, I therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen HYMN: 550 Lamb of God OLD TESTAMENT READING: Isaiah 49:1-7 P: This is the Word of the Lord C: Thanks be to God THE EPISTLE: 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 P: This is the Word of the Lord C: Thanks be to God 8:00 a.m. CWF Glorious is Thy Name, Most Holy 10:30 a.m. Harvey Grunewald On Eagles Wings HOLY GOSPEL: John 1:29-42a P: The Holy Gospel according to St. John the 1 st Chapter beginning at verse 29. C: Glory be to Thee, O Lord P: This is the Gospel of the Lord C: Praise be to Thee, O Christ THE APOSTLES CREED: (we confess together) 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.
