WORD
CHILDREN’S SERMON
FIRST READING Exodus 19:2-8a
See back page for reading
Word of God, word of life. Thanks be to God.
PSALM 100
1Make a joyful noise to the Lord, | all you lands!
2Serve the Lord with gladness; come into God’s presence | with a song.
3Know that the Lord is God, our maker to whom | we belong;
we are God’s people and the sheep | of God’s pasture. R
4Enter the gates of the Lord with thanksgiving and the | courts with praise;
give thanks and bless God’s | holy name.
5Good indeed is the Lord, whose steadfast love is | everlasting,
whose faithfulness endures from | age to age. R
SECOND READING: Romans 5:1-8
1Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. 3And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
6For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. 8But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.
Word of God, word of life. Thanks be to God.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION*
HOLY GOSPEL according to Matthew 9:35—10:8 [9-23]
Glory to you Oh Lord.
See back page for reading
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Oh Christ.
SERMON Pastor Wesley
HYMN OF DAY ELW 623
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, let us offer our prayers for a world in need.

hear our prayer.
For the earth and all its creatures, we pray. Equip farmers, farm workers, and all who labor on the land. God, in your mercy,

For those who govern, we pray. Empower us to seek peaceful solutions to conflict. God, in your mercy,

For those who suffer, we pray. Accompany those who feel helpless, alone, or abandoned. (especially).
