2 We Enter to Worship; We Depart to Serve GOSPEL: Mark 7:1 8, 14 15, Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him, 2 they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without washing them. 3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders; 4 and they do not eat anything from the market unless they wash it and there are also many other traditions that they observe, the washing of cups, pots, and bronze kettles.) 5 So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?" 6 He said to them, "Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written,' This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; 7 in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.' 8 You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition." 14 Then he called the crowd again and said to them, "Listen to me, all of you, and understand: 15 there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile." 21 For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, 22 adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person." Prayer Requests For the active service armed forces and their families, for the hospitalized, ill, suffering or needy. Especially today we pray for Jon Grann, Marilyn Lamb, Aubrey Waldow, Myron Lamb, Laurene Thoreson, Elaine Maynard, Melvin and Mavis Nesheim, Tammy Haug Davis, Barb Lamb, Janine Cone, Darrel Janssen, Trudy Thoreson, Katy Garness, Stanley Zantow, Clarine Lamb, Don & Helen Warkenthien, Donna Williams, Phyllis Hovde, Albert Kittleson Apostles Creed: I believe in God, the father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God s 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 to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. AMEN. Baptized today at Grace is Isabelle Madison Windsor, daughter of Jamie Baxter and Edward Windsor. Sponsors for Isabelle are Bryony and Toban DeRooy. Standing in for them are Herb and Char Loterbauer and Lexi and Herb III.
