LORD’S PRAYERC 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.

OUR TESTIMONY CONCERNING HOLY BAPTISMP Do you renounce the devil and all his works and all his ways?C I do renounce them.

P Do you believe in God the Father?C Yes, I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth

P Do you believe in Jesus Christ?C Yes, I believe in Jesus Christ, His 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. The third day He

rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.

P Do you believe in the Holy Spirit?C Yes, I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion

of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life T everlasting. Amen

THE WELCOME OF THE NEWLY BAPTIZEDP In holy baptism, God the Father has made BROOKE a member of his Son, our

Lord Jesus Christ, and an heir of all the treasures of heaven in the one holy Christian and Apostolic Church.

OLD TESTAMENT READING: Psalm 90:1, 12–17 Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on your servants! Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, and for as many years as we have seen evil. Let your work be shown to your servants, and your

glorious power to their children. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!

A This is the Word of the Lord.C Thanks be to God.

CHOIR ANTHEM "O God, Our Help in Ages Past"- arr. BlerschGSLC Choir & Congregation

Choir Time, like an ever rolling stream, soon bears us all away; We fly forgotten as a dream dies at the op'ning day.

All O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,Be Thou our guard while troubles last and our eternal home!

EPISTLE: Hebrews 3:12–19Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is

called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. As it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.

A This is the Word of the Lord.C Thanks be to God.

HOLY GOSPEL: Mark 10:17–22P The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark, the tenth chapter.

As Jesus was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’” And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.” And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

P This is the Gospel of the Lord.
