Please stand Hymn of Invocation O Come, All Ye Faithful Public domain Invocation L In the Name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen. The Second Commandment L Let us read the commandment together. C You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God. L What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not curse, swear, use satanic arts, lie, or deceive by His name, but call upon it in every trouble, pray, praise, and give thanks 5
Confession and Absolution L 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. L Let us then kneel and 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. 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. Please stand Service of the Word Salutation and Collect of the Day L The Lord be with you. C And also with you. L Let us pray. L Holy Lord, by Your blood we have a new name. By the waters of baptism we have a new life. Call us by Your Word that we would become who You created us to be. For You live and reign with Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C Amen. Please be seated Service of Holy Baptism Presentation Charlotte Rachel Ruth Doeringer P: Let us confess the faith into which we baptize by saying together the Apostle s 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, 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. 6
Baptism Welcome P: Through Baptism, God has added Charlotte to his own people to declare the wonderful deeds of our Savior, who has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light. C: We welcome you into the Lord's family. We receive you as a fellow member of the body of Christ, child of the same heavenly Father, to work with us in his kingdom. P: And you, Charlotte, the Lord bless you in all your ways from this time forth and even forevermore. C: Amen. First Reading Genesis 32:22-28 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, Let me go, for it is daybreak. But Jacob replied, I will not let you go unless you bless me. 27 The man asked him, What is your name? Jacob, he answered. 28 Then the man said, Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have wrestled with God and with man and have overcome. R This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. Second Reading Revelation 3:7, 10-13 To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. 11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12 The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. 13 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches R This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. 7
Please stand L The Holy Gospel according to St. Luke, the 2 nd chapter, verses 21-24 C Glory to You, O Lord. On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived. 22 When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord ), 24 and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: a pair of doves or two young pigeons.

Agnus Dei Distribution and Hymns Please be seated General Distribution: We invite you to come up to the altar for communion. Special Distribution: Those that are unable to use the stairs to commune at the altar, please stay seated until a communion assistant team comes to the bottom of the stairs. An usher will guide you to walk up and receive communion. For those who cannot walk to the front, communion assistants will commune you at your seat. Holy Communion is a gift from God. It is the Lord s Table to which He invites us. As we prepare to receive the Sacrament, we might ask ourselves the following questions: Do I realize that I am a sinful human being? Do I understand that our Lord gave His life, His body and blood, for me on the cross that I might be forgiven of my sins and in His resurrection raised me to a new life? Do I realize that in the Lord s Supper He gives me His true body and blood that I might be assured of forgiveness and that my faith is strengthened that I might serve my Lord and through Him serve others? If you are a baptized Christian and share these Biblical truths, please join us in the celebration of the Sacrament. If you have not yet received instruction, please come forward for a blessing, crossing your arms over your chest to indicate you are not receiving the elements. Distribution Songs Jesus Lover of My Soul Jesus lover of my soul, Jesus I will never let You go. You ve taken me from the miry clay, Set my feet upon the rock and now I know. I love You I need You, Though my world may fall I ll never let You go. My Savior my closest friend, I will worship You until the very end. 10
