ORDER OF WORSHIPOctober 10, 2021 – 9:00 a.m./10:30 a.m.

Twentieth Sunday after PentecostTheme: The Offertory

As We GatherWhat is the “Offertory”?

The word “offertory” comes from the Latin word offerre, which means “to give, or to present.” The Offertory is sung by the congregation during the Divine Service as the gifts and offerings are presented to the Lord.

Prayer Before WorshipO God, you have shown me how my thoughts, words, and actions can come between us. I can see how the consequences of my sins have affected not only my relationship with you but my relationship with my brothers and sisters as well. O Lord, in your loving compassion, blot out my transgressions! Wash away my iniquity and cleanse me from my sins! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prelude Redeemer Brass

Opening Hymn 246 Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty

1. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee; Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty! God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!

2. Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.

3. Holy, holy, holy! Tho’ the darkness hide Thee, Tho’ the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see, Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee, Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity.

Order of ServiceP: In the name of the Father and of the + Son and of the Holy Spirit.C: Amen.

Sacrament of Holy Baptism - 10:30(Following the Baptism, our worship continues with the Children’s Message)Child: Emily Elizabeth ThompsonParents: Chad & Kristin ThompsonSponsors: Freddy Ford and Amelia Townsend Johnson

P: Make haste, O God, to deliver me.C: Make haste to help me, O Lord.P: The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.

C: A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Glory be to the Father and to the +Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

Children’s Message - 10:30

Old Testament Reading Psalm 51:1-12, 17 (David’s Prayer)

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge. Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.

Epistle Reading Ephesians 5:1-3 (Imitate Christ)

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.

Response: Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

Anthem - 10:30 Hallelujah, We Shall Rise – Thomas, arr. WilliamsChancel Choir

Gospel Announcement

Response: Glory be to Thee, O Lord!

Gospel Reading Matthew 19:27-29(Giving yourself to Christ)

Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?” Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.”

Response: Praise be to Thee, O Christ.

Confession of Faith - 9:00 The Apostles’ Creed(At the 10:30 service, the statement of faith was spoken during the Baptism)

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he de-scended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Sermon Hymn 405 I Gave My Life for Thee

1. I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed, That thou might’st ransomed be and quickened from the dead. I gave My life for thee; what hast thou giv’n for Me?

2. I spent long years for thee in weariness and woe That an eternity of joy thou mightest know. I spent long years for thee; hast thou spent one for Me?

3. I suffered much for thee, more than My tongue may tell, Of bitt’rest agony, to rescue thee from hell. I suffered much for thee; what canst thou bear for Me?

Sermon Text: Psalm 51:1-12, 17“The Offertory”

Rev. Randall J. Schlak

OffertoryCreate in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right spirit within me.Cast me not away from Thy presence,And take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; And uphold me with Thy free spirit. Amen.

Offering

Doxology Tune: hymn 15Praise God from whom all blessings flow;Praise Him, all creatures here below; Hallelujah, hallelujah,Praise Him above, ye heavenly host, Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost!Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Prayer of the Church

Lord’s PrayerOur 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.

Benediction and Response: Amen! Amen! Amen!

Closing Hymn 400 Take My Life and Let It Be(Favorite hymn of Mary Jane Johnson, Judy Weir, Donna Hollis, David Hardoin)

1. Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee; Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise.

2. Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of Thy Love; Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee.

3. Take my voice and let me sing always, only, for my King; Take my lips and let them be filled with messages from Thee.

Silent Prayer
