2 PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH 8240 Blue Ridge Boulevard, Kansas City, Missouri Office: Fax: (844) Grow in Peace Child Care Center: (816) Title Name Phone Pastor David M. Rolf (816) Dir. Child Care Carla Hamilton (816) Music Director Luke Nicolay (316) Secretary Deb Baldwin (816) PRAYER UPON ENTERING CHURCH On this Reformation Sunday, we thank you for those persons you have poured your spirit into that then set about reforming your church. We thank you that you are still at work in the life of the church reforming us reshaping us, and remaking us into your image. Father, Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I have hidden Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You. Direct me in the path of Your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to Your Word. Let me live that I may praise You and may Your laws sustain me. My heart is set on keeping Your decrees to the very end. Amen. WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN While we might consider ourselves relatively good the fact is we are naturally opposed to God and His plan for our lives. This nature and the things we do because of this nature result in sin. But God loves us and has overcome sin for us. He did this by sending His Son, Jesus, to bridge the gap created by sin. Now we are no longer separated from God because Jesus has brought us back together: God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their sins against them. (II Corinthians 5: 19) The one who believes this is a Christian. REGARDING HOLY COMMUNION. Members of sister Lutheran congregations are, of course, invited to join us at the Lord's Table. Others are requested to consult with the Pastor before communing with us the first time. In this way you will help us be responsible in our administration of the Sacrament and you, in turn, will be blessed as you commune with us. NOTE: In the center of each communion tray are a few glasses with non-alcohol wine for those who are on alcohol restrictive medications or wish to abstain from alcohol for personal reasons. The Mission of Peace Lutheran Church is to equip and encourage Christ s followers to grow in faith, share their faith and live out their faith. 1

3 Prelude The Twenty-Third Sunday After Pentecost Reformation Sunday Divine Service, Setting One p. 151 October 30, 2016 Welcome, Announcements and Opening Prayer Opening Hymn LSB 794 The Lord, My God, Be Praised Invocation P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen. Confession and Absolution P 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 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. 2

4 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 T Son and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen. Service of the Word Kyrie 3

5 This Is the Feast 4

6 Salutation and Collect of the Day P The Lord be with you. C And also with you. P Let us pray. Almighty and gracious Lord, pour out Your Holy Spirit on Your faithful people. Keep us steadfast in Your grace and truth, protect and deliver us in times of temptation, defend us against all enemies, and grant to Your Church Your saving 5

7 peace; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C Amen. Sit First Reading Revelation 14: Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. 7 And he said with a loud voice, Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water. P This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. Epistle Romans 3: Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned 6

8 and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. 27 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. P C This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Choir Sings God Be in My Head John Rutter Stand Common Alleluia and Verse Holy Gospel John 8: P The Holy Gospel according to St. John, the eighth chapter. 7

9 31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. 33 They answered him, We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, You will become free? 34 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. 35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. P This is the Gospel of the Lord. Sit Sermon Hymn Sermon LSB 656 A Mighty Fortress Is Our God Abide in His Word John 8: Stand Apostles' Creed C 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, 8

10 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 T everlasting. Amen. Sit Offering Stand Prayer of the Church P P C P God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. So let us lay before Him the needs of all people. Lord in Your mercy hear our prayer. God of grace, hear our prayers and help Your people, for we pray through Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and 9

11 C forever. Amen. Lord's Prayer C Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen. Benediction P The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you. The Lord look upon you with favor and T give you peace. 10

17 Growing in Wisdom and in Grace at GIP... This week at Grow In Peace, we learned about the story of baby Moses. Through this story, we learned that God has a plan for his people. God protected Moses when his Mother put him in a basket and put him in the river. This story taught us that God has a plan and will always protect us. The Bible verse was, "My times are in your hands." Psalm 31:15 Activities: Babies and baskets- dramatic play Use your senses- small group activity Pumpkin relay- Large Muscle THANKSGIVING FAMILY MEAL Donations needed to buy food for Thanksgiving Family Meal.
