The Tenth Commandment L Let us read the commandment together. C You shall not covet your neighbor s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. L What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not entice or force away our neighbor s spouse, workers, or animals, or turn them against our neighbor, but urge them to stay and do their duty. 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. Service of the Word Salutation and Prayer of the Day L The Lord be with you. C And also with you. L Let us pray. L Father Creator, You made women Your daughters and men, Your sons. Make us all Your children through the Water and the Word and the Blood of Jesus Christ Your Son our Lord who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit one God now and forever. C Amen. Please remain standing Baptismal Recognition P: The role of the congregation in baptism is to welcome the newly baptized into the life of the church and support them throughout their walk with the Lord so that they may ever grow in faith and understanding of Christ. Do you then promise to fulfill this calling as a congregation? If so then answer yes. C: Yes 4
The Welcome P: Through Baptism, God has added David Joseph Levine, Skye Patricia Mayers, Stephen Mayers, Lillian Rose Cabrera, and Scarlett Arya Cabrera 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, David, Skye, Stephen, Lillian and Scarlett the Lord bless you in all your ways from this time forth and even forevermore. C: Amen. Please be seated First Grade Students Children s Message Peace in Christ by Claire Ryann Crosby First Reading Genesis 1:26-27, 31 Then God said, Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning the sixth day. R This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. Second Reading Galatians 3:26-29 So in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham s seed, and heirs according to the promise. R This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God Please stand L The Holy Gospel according to St Matthew the 17 th chapter, verses 1-9 C Glory to You, O Lord. After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. 4 Peter said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah. 5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him! 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. Get up, he said. Don t be afraid. 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus. 9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, Don t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead. L This is the Gospel of the Lord. C Praise to You, O Christ. 5
The Nicene Creed L Let us with one voice confess our faith saying the Creed C I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures and ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. And He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, whose kingdom will have no end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church, I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins, and I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life T of the world to come. Amen. Song of the Day Just As I Am (I Come Broken) Verse 1 Just as I am, without one plea But that Thy blood was shed for me And that Thou bidst me come to Thee O Lamb of God, I come, I come Verse 2 Chorus Verse 3 Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot O Lamb of God, I come, I come I come broken to be mended I come wounded to be healed I come desperate to be rescued I come empty to be filled I come guilty to be pardoned By the blood of Christ the Lamb And I'm welcomed with open arms Praise God, just as I am Just as I am, I would be lost But mercy and grace my freedom bought And now to glory in Your cross Oh Lamb of God I come, I come (Chorus) Sermon Trans Genesis 1:26-27, 31 Sharing of the Peace Please be seated Offering and Musical Offering Jesus, He Loves Me by Edwin McCain 6

P All these things and whatever else You know that we need grant us for the sake of Him who died and rose again and who now lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C Amen. Service of the Sacrament Prayer of Thanksgiving P Let us pray C Amen Lord's Prayer P Lord, remember us in Your Kingdom and teach us to pray. 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. Words of Our Lord (Pastor) Peace of God P The peace of the Lord be with you always. C And also with you. Agnus Dei 7
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 Paid it All Verse 1 I hear the Savior say Thy strength indeed is small; Child of weakness, watch and pray Find in Me thine all in all Chorus Verse 2 Verse 3 Jesus paid it all All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow Lord, now indeed I find Thy pow'r and Thine alone Can change the leper's spots and melt the heart of stone (Chorus) And when before the throne I stand in Him complete Jesus died my soul to save My lips shall still repeat (Chorus) Eat This Bread 8
