In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
God of all mercy and consolation…
…our Savior and Lord.
Amen.
Let us confess our sin
in the presence of God and of one another.
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.
In the mercy of almighty God…
…and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
1We praise you, O God,
our redeemer, creator;
in grateful devotion
our tribute we bring.
We lay it before you;
we kneel and adore you;
we bless your holy name;
glad praises we sing.
2We worship you, God
of our fathers and mothers;
through trial and tempest
our guide you have been.
hen perils o'ertake us,
you will not forsake us,
and with your help, O Lord,
our struggles we win.
3With voices united
our praises we offer
and gladly our songs
of thanksgiving we raise.
With you, Lord, beside us,
your strong arm will guide us.
To you, our great redeemer,
forever be praise!

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit
be with you all.
And also with you.
1Glory to you, God, for yours is the earth;
yours is the promise, the blessing, the birth.
Ours the rejoicing
for Word given frame;
ours the thanksgiving to your holy name.
Ours be the telling
of deeds greatly done;
yours be the glory,
O God, yours alone.
2Glory to you, God,
for yours is the earth;
yours the hosannas, the dying, rebirth.
Ours the rejoicing for nature reclaimed;
ours the thanksgiving to your holy name.
Ours be the telling of deeds greatly done;
yours be the glory, O God,
yours alone.
3Glory to you, God,
for yours is the earth;
yours the anointing, the radiant worth.
Ours the rejoicing for spirits aflame;
ours the thanksgiving to your holy name.
Ours be the telling of deeds greatly done;
yours be the glory, O God,
yours alone.
Let us pray…
Amen.
Word of God, word of life.
Thanks be to God.
1Lord, you have been our refuge from one generation to another.
2Before the mountains were brought forth, or the land and the earth were born, from age to age you are God.
3You turn us back to the dust and say, "Turn back, O children of earth."
4For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past and like a watch in the night;
5you sweep them away like a dream, they fade away suddenly like the grass:
6in the morning it is green and flourishes; in the evening it is dried up and withered.
7For we are consumed by your anger; we are afraid because of your wrath.
8Our iniquities you have set before you, and our secret sins in the light of your countenance
12So teach us to number our days
that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
The congregation sings the Alleluia;
the cantor sings the verse.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Lord, to whom shall we go?
You have the words of eternal life.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
The holy gospel according to Matthew.
Glory to you, O Lord.
The gospel is read.
The gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, O Christ.
1As saints of old their firstfruits brought
of orchard, flock, and field
to God, the giver of all good,
the source of bounteous yield,
so we today firstfruits would bring,
the wealth of this good land,
of farm and market, shop and home,
of mind and heart and hand.
2A world in need now summons us
to labor, love, and give;
to make our life an offering
to God, that all may live.
The church of Christ is calling us
to make the dream come true:
a world redeemed by Christ-like love;
all life in Christ made new.
3In gratitude and humble trust
we bring our best today
to serve your cause and share your love
with all along life's way.
O God, who gave yourself to us
in Jesus Christ your Son,
teach us to give ourselves each day
until life's work is done.

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.
…God, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
…in the name of Jesus, your beloved.
Amen.

1Now thank we all our God
with hearts and hands and voices,
who wondrous things has done,
in whom this world rejoices;
who, from our mothers' arms,
has blest us on our way
with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.
Text: Martin Rinkhart, 1586-1649; tr. Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878

The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
It is indeed right...and join their unending hymn:
Holy, holy, holy Lord,
God of pow'r and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna, hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna, hosanna in the highest.
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.

walls made of living stone.

Shine in our hearts.
Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in your church

1O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home:
2Under the shadow of your throne
your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3Before the hills in order stood
or earth received its frame,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.
4A thousand ages in your sight
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
Text: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748, alt.
Music: ST. ANNE, William Croft, 1678-1727
Go in peace. Serve the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
