2 Order of Service for the First Sunday in Lent Ministry Teams Sunday Welcome: Pastor Marc E. Nauman Bible Verse for February Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God. 2 Corinthians 4:1-2 Children s Blessing (second service) Invocation Pastor: In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit Congregation: Amen. Introit Pastor: He will call upon and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him And show him my salvation. If you make the Most High your dwelling even the Lord, who is my refuge then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will life you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; You will trample the great lion and the serpent. Because he loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 2

3 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. Congregation: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen. Pastor: He will call upon and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him And show him my salvation. Opening Hymn First Service: #297 A Mighty Fortress Second Service: Holy Is The Lord (displayed) The Confession and Forgiveness Pastor: Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Congregation: whose hope is in the LORD his God. Pastor: The LORD sets prisoners free, Congregation: the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous. (Silence for reflection and self-examination) Congregation: Heavenly Father, I confess to you my many and constant sins. I have not always remained humble before you. I cannot produce the righteousness you demand. I deserve your judgment. But I am sorry for my sins and repent of them. I cling to Your mercy given to us in Jesus Christ. By Your Holy Spirit teach us true humility and true obedience to Your Word. Amen. Absolution of Sins Hymn of Response First Service: #283 You Are The Way; To You Alone Second Service: Create In Me (displayed) 3

4 The Collect of the Day Pastor: O Almighty and eternal God, we implore you to direct, sanctify, and govern our hearts and bodies in the ways of your laws and the works of your commandments that through your mighty protection, both now and ever, we may be preserved in body and in soul; through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Congregation: Amen. The Reading of God s Word: 1 Peter 4:8-11 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Reader: This is the Word of the Lord. Congregation: Thanks be to God. The Gospel: Matthew 28:16-20 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Elder: This is the Gospel of the Lord. Congregation: Praise to You, O Christ. 4

5 The Apostles Creed 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 Hymn Of The Day First Service: #369 Through Jesus Blood And Merit The Message: No Cutting Corners Prayers of the Church Pastor: Lord, in Your Mercy Congregation: Hear our prayer! The Lord s Prayer 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.

Congregation: We lift them to the Lord. Pastor: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. Congregation: It is right to give Him thanks and praise. Admonition Sharing of the Lord s Peace Sanctus Words of Institution Pastor: Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to the disciples and said: Take, eat; this is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. In the same way, after supper, he took the cup and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying: Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. Pax Domini The Peace of the Lord The Distribution of the Bread and Wine 6 Post Communion Collect Congregation: We give thanks to you, Almighty God, that you have refreshed us through this Sacrament. We ask that, in Your mercy, you would strengthen us in faith towards You, and in love towards one another through Jesus Christ Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever. Amen.
