PSALM 50:7-15
7“Listen, my people, and I will speak: Israel, I will bear wit- | ness against you;
for I am | God, your God.
8I do not accuse you because | of your sacrifices;
your burnt offerings are al- | ways before me.
9I will not accept a calf | from your stalls,
nor goats | from your pens;
10for all the wild animals of the for- | est are mine,
the cattle on a | thousand hills. R
11I know every bird | of the mountains,
and the creatures of the | fields are mine.
12If I were hungry, I | would not tell you,
for the whole world is mine and all | that is in it.
13Do you think I eat the | flesh of bulls,
or drink the | blood of goats?
14Offer to God a sacrifice | of thanksgiving
and make good your vows to | the Most High.
15Call upon me in the | day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you shall | honor me. R

HYMN OF DAY ELW 588
HOLY BAPTISM OF Luca Jacob Fagoada
APOSTLE’S CREED Assisting Minister or Lector
With the whole church, let us confess our faith.
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 into hell.
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.
THE PRAYERS* Assisting Minister or Lector
Trusting in God’s mercy, let us offer our prayers.

We pray, O God, for the church. Unite us with any on the margins. God, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Tend forests and fields and safeguard all cattle, birds, and wild animals. Preserve lakes, rivers, and oceans and send rains to water the earth. God, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Awaken in all those forgotten or neglected inspiration to advocate for ourselves. God, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.

with the church on earth and the hosts of heaven,

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo, santificado sea tu nombre. Venga tu reino. Hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo. Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día.
