Confession and Forgiveness
In the name of the Father, and of the +Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
God of all mercy and consolation, come to the help of your people, turning us from our sin to live for you alone. Give us the power of your Holy Spirit that we may confess our sin, receive your forgiveness, and grow into the fullness of Je- sus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
Amen
Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.
(Silence is kept for reflection.)
Most merciful God,
We confess that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves. 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. 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.
God, who is rich in mercy, loved us even when we were dead in sin, and made us alive together with Christ. By grace you have been saved. In the name of
+Jesus Christ, your sins are forgiven. Almighty God strengthen you with power
through the Holy Spirit, that Christ may live in your hearts through faith.
Amen.
L: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
C: And also with you.
Gathering Hymn # 756 “Eternal Father, Strong to Save”
- Eternal Father, strong to save, whose arm has bound the restless wave,
who bade the mighty ocean deep its own appointed limits keep: oh, hear us when we cry to thee for those in peril on the sea.
- O Savior, whose almighty word the winds and waves submissive heard,
who walked upon the foaming deep, and calm amid the storm didst sleep:
oh, hear us when we cry to thee for those in peril on the sea.
- O Holy Spirit, who didst brood upon the chaos dark and rude,
and bid its angry tumult cease, and give, for wild confusion, peace; oh, hear us when we cry to thee for those in peril on the sea.
- O Trinity of love and power, all travelers guard in danger’s hour from rock and tempest,
fire and foe, protect them wheresoever they go;
thus evermore shall rise to thee glad hymns and praise from land and sea.
L: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of
the Holy Spirit be with you all.
C: And also with you.
L: Let us pray:
C: Blessed are you, O God, maker of all things. Through your goodness you have blessed us with these gifts: our selves, our time, and our posses- sions. Use us, and what we have gathered, in feeding the world with your
love, through the one who gave himself for us, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen

Sermon (Please Stand)
Hymn # 773 “Precious Lord, Take My Hand”
- Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on let me stand, I am tired, I am weak, I am worn.
Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light.
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
- When my way grows drear, precious Lord, linger near, when my life is almost gone, hear my cry,
hear my call, hold my hand lest I fall.
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
- When the darkness appears and the night draws near, and the day is past and gone,
at the river I stand, guide my feet, hold my hand.
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
L: Together with the whole church, we confess our faith:
All: I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
God’s 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 to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
He is seated at the right hand of the Father,
And He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen

Hymn # 763 “My Life Flows On in Endless Song”
- My life flows on in endless song; above earth’s lamentation,
I catch the sweet, though far off hymn that hails a new creation.
Refrain: No storm can shake my inmost calm while to the Rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing?
- Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ringing. It finds an echo in my soul. How can I keep from singing? (Refrain)
- What though my joys and comforts die? The Lord my Savior liveth. What though the darkness gather round? Songs in the night he giveth. (Refrain)
- The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, a fountain everspring! All Things are mine since I am his! How can I keep from singing? (Refrain)
L: Go in peace. Serve the Lord.
C: Thanks be to God.
