2 A Warm Welcome to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and School We hope that your worship experience this morning is spiritually enriching and meaningful; we invite all to stay for fellowship in the narthex following the liturgy. Children are always welcome to join us at worship. If you have small children with you today who need a break, please feel free to utilize our Kids Corner in the Agape Room. We also provide religious coloring books and crayons that your children may wish to use during the liturgy. If you missed seeing them when you came in, they are in a basket in the rear of the chancel on the bell table. Your children are welcome to take the coloring book home after the liturgy. We would, however, like the crayons returned in the plastic bag to the basket in the back. As always there are age appropriate Little Lambs Activity Bags located on the stands in the narthex. Are you new to Good Shepherd? Our congregation is a member of the Metropolitan New York Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and our day school is a member of the Lutheran Schools Association. If you are looking for a church home/school we would be happy to share more information with you. At the entryway to the church you will find a guest book in which to leave your name and contact information. You may use the pew card for the same purpose and place it in the offering plate. We d be delighted to keep you informed about events and opportunities here at Good Shepherd and hope you will join us again. Restrooms are located off the narthex and a handicapped accessible restroom is located near the main entrance of the education building. Cell phones create a distraction during worship. If you are using your cell phone instead of the worship booklet, we ask that you check now to make sure it is in airplane mode. If you are not using it for this service, please turn it off while in the worship space. Our team of ushers is available throughout the service to be of any assistance you might need. Gluten-free hosts: all of our baked bread is gluten free.

5 WORD God speaks to us in scripture reading, preaching, and song First Reading Jeremiah 17: Thus says the Lord: Cursed are those who trust in mere mortals and make mere flesh their strength, whose hearts turn away from the Lord. 6 They shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when relief comes. They shall live in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. 7 Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. 8 They shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the stream. It shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay green; in the year of drought it is not anxious, and it does not cease to bear fruit. 9 The heart is devious above all else; it is perverse who can understand it? 10 I the Lord test the mind and search the heart, to give to all according to their ways, according to the fruit of their doings. L: The Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. Children s Sermon (10:15 a.m. service) Antiphon (Sung By Choir) They are like trees planted by streams of water. 3 P a g e

6 Second Reading 1 Corinthians 15: Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; 14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. 17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have died in Christ have perished. 19 If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. 20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died. L: The Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. Gospel Acclamation Gospel Luke 6:17-26 P: The holy gospel according to Luke the 6 th Chapter C: Glory to you, O Lord. 17 [Jesus] came down with [the twelve] and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all 4 P a g e

7 Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast of Tyre and Sidon. 18 They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. 19 And all in the crowd were trying to touch him, for power came out from him and healed all of them. 20 Then he looked up at his disciples and said: Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man. 23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets. 24 But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. 25 Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep. 26 Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false prophets. P: The Gospel of the Lord. C: Praise to you, O Christ. Sermon Hymn of the Day ELW#728, Blest Are They Nicene Creed We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, 5 P a g e

8 the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,* who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. The Prayers of the Church Each petition will end with Lord, in your mercy to which the congregation responds, hear our prayer. Peace P: The peace of Christ be with you always. C: And also with you. 6 P a g e
