C: Amen. Roger Hodges & Kevin Jonas CONFESSION and FORGIVENESS P: Secure in the presence of our loving God and confident of His promise to forgive and to restore us, we openly confess our sins to Him and humbly acknowledge our need for His forgiveness. All: Lord God of my life, in Romans 8:28 You tell us that in all things You work for the good of those who love You. Forgive me for being distracted by the world s problems and how they affect me. Forgive me for not looking for the good instead assuming the bad. Forgive me for focusing on isolated incidents instead of seeing that You have given me the promise of an eternity spent with You. Silent Reflection P: Brothers and sisters in Christ, there is good news for us! Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners and to restore our relationship with God. Therefore, God forgives us and reestablishes a wonderful relationship with Him and each other.

SERVICE OF THE WORD SCRIPTURE READINGS First Reading: Amos 7:7-15 Page 910 (LP: 1428) Gospel Reading: Mark 6:14-29 Page 996 (LP: 1561) MESSAGE SONG Move in this City Mark Cole THE MESSAGE Trusting in the Power of God Part One THE CONFESSION OF OUR FAITH Pastor: Let us acknowledge our faith by the words of 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. SONG of RESPONSE / OFFERING I Give You All the Glory Klaus Kuehn (In response to His gracious, daily provision, as an act of adoration and praise, we joyfully give back a portion of what our Lord has entrusted to us. If you are a first time guest please do not feel obligated to contribute but you may do so as the Holy Spirit leads. May God bless every sacrifice we bring!) 2
SERVICE of the SACRAMENT Regarding the Lord s Supper Peace Lutheran Church and the other congregations of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod share the Scriptural belief that the Lord s Supper is a sacramental meal that brings us not only Christ s true Body and Blood with the bread and wine, but also the forgiveness of sins and strength to amend our lives. Those intending to commune with us may find it spiritually helpful to consider these questions: 1. Am I sorry for my sins? 2. Do I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior? 3. Do I believe He makes His Body and Blood present in this Meal? 4. Am I determined, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to change my sinful life? WORDS of INSTITUTION DISTRIBUTION (For the distribution, the ushers will guide worshippers to the front. The pastor will offer a brief blessing for each table. A longer blessing for all communicants will be spoken after all have received communion.)
