A Warm Welcome to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and School We hope that your worship experience this morning is spiritually enriching and meaningful; we invite all to stay for fellowship in the narthex following the liturgy. Children are always welcome to join us at worship. If you have small children with you today who need a break, please feel free to utilize our Kids Corner in the Agape Room. We also provide religious coloring books and crayons that your children may wish to use during the liturgy. If you missed seeing them when you came in, they are in a basket in the rear of the chancel on the bell table. Your children are welcome to take the coloring book home after the liturgy. We would, however, like the crayons returned in the plastic bag to the basket in the back. As always there are age appropriate Little Lambs Activity Bags located on the stands in the narthex. Are you new to Good Shepherd? Our congregation is a member of the Metropolitan New York Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and our day school is a member of the Lutheran Schools Association. If you are looking for a church home/school we would be happy to share more information with you. At the entryway to the church you will find a guest book in which to leave your name and contact information. You may use the pew card for the same purpose and place it in the offering plate. We d be delighted to keep you informed about events and opportunities here at Good Shepherd and hope you will join us again. Restrooms are located off the narthex and a handicapped accessible restroom is located near the main entrance of the education building. Cell phones create a distraction during worship.

WORD God speaks to us in scripture reading, preaching, and song First Reading Isaiah 6:1-13 1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple. 2 Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. 3 And one called to another and said: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of those who called, and the house filled with smoke. 5 And I said: Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts! 6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. 7 The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out. 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I said, Here am I; send me! [ 9 And he said, Go and say to this people: Keep listening, but do not comprehend; keep looking, but do not understand. 10 Make the mind of this people dull, and stop their ears, and shut their eyes, so that they may not look with their eyes, and listen with their ears, and comprehend with their minds, and turn and be healed. 11 Then I said, How long, O Lord? And he said: Until cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is utterly desolate; 12 until the Lord sends everyone far away, and vast is the emptiness in the midst of the land. 13 Even if a tenth part remain in it, it will be burned again, like a terebinth or an oak whose stump remains standing when it is felled. The holy seed is its stump. P: The Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. Children s Sermon (10:15 a.m. service) 3 P a g e
Antiphon (Sung By Choir) I will bow down toward your holy temple. Second Reading 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 1 Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, 2 through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you unless you have come to believe in vain. 3 For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, 4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you have come to believe. L: The Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. Gospel Acclamation 4 P a g e
Gospel Luke 5:1-11 P: The holy gospel according to Luke the 5 th Chapter C: Glory to you, O Lord. 1 Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, 2 he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. 4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch. 5 Simon answered, Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets. 6 When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus knees, saying, Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man! 9 For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people. 11 When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him. P: The Gospel of the Lord. C: Praise to you, O Christ. Sermon Hymn of the Day ELW#817, You Have Come Down to the Lakeshore Nicene Creed We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, 5 P a g e
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,* who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. The Prayers of the Church Each petition will end with Lord, in your mercy to which the congregation responds, hear our prayer. Peace P: The peace of Christ be with you always. C: And also with you. The Offering is received as the Lord s table is prepared. 6 P a g e
