1 Our Saviour s Lutheran Church Sharing God s Love with All! Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost October 9, 2016, 9:15 am Welcome Gathering Hymn. Rise, Shine, You People!...#665 Rise, shine, you people! Christ the Lord has entered our human story; God in him is centered. He comes to us, by death and sin surrounded, with grace unbounded. See how he sends the pow'rs of evil reeling; he brings us freedom, light and life and healing. All men and women, who by guilt are driven, now are forgiven. Come, celebrate; your banners high unfurling, your songs and prayers against the darkness hurling. To all the world go out and tell the story of Jesus' glory. Greeting P: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. C: And also with you. Confession (Let us pray together) Holy God, we don t always admit it, but we are creatures who need a Savior. We are pleased with the good we have done, the loyalty we have displayed, the love we have shared. But that is only one side of the story. In many situations we have fallen short of the target which Christ has placed before us, and we have neglected the happiness of

2 others. Please continue to save and heal us, loving God, as you forgive us and mend our fractured nature. In your love may we be renewed, and in your service may we be fulfilled. In the name of your holy Son, our Savior. Amen! Forgiveness P: It is written: By love you are saved through faith; and even your faith is not your achievement but is a gift from God. Take up this precious gift of salvation, and live boldly as the children of God. May the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. C: And also with you. **Order of Service - Page 147 in the Hymnal*** Kyrie (Each petition will end with P: Let us pray to the Lord ; please respond C: Lord, have mercy.)

3 Hymn of the Day. What Wondrous Love Is This.#666 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul! What wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, to bear the dreadful curse for my soul? When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down, when I was sinking down, sinking down, when I was sinking down beneath God's righteous frown, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul. To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing; to God and to the Lamb I will sing; to God and to the Lamb, who is the great I AM, while millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing, while millions join the theme, I will sing.
