GET READY FOR WORSHIP

During the period of online worship, our worship style is simplified, with

no musical liturgy, but with hymns and/or songs. The texts of hymns and

songs will be printed in this online bulletin where they appear in the order

of worship. You are encouraged to sing along at home with the

accompaniment from the musician at church.

This is a time to bust forth fully in song without worrying about being

heard by the congregation, which should encourage some of the more shy

singers among you, and to give full prayerful voice to fear or sorrow,

supplications for mercy, and of course, to trust, hope and praise.

HOW WE SHALL RECEIVE COMMUNION

Members are encouraged to have gathered both bread and wine or grape

juice in the space where family members will gather for worship, so that

everyone may participate in the full liturgy of the Eucharist. Even if you are

alone in your home, please partake of the body and blood of Christ in the

forms of bread and wine. We are together in the Body of Christ, by God's

loving Spirit, even when we are not present with another in our own flesh.

Prelude

Welcome and Announcements

Gathering Song: Rise Up, O Saints of God! ELW 669

Rise up, O saints of God!

From vain ambitions turn;

Christ rose triumphant that your hearts

with nobler zeal might burn.

Speak out, O saints of God!

Despair engulfs earth's frame;

as heirs of God's baptismal grace,

the word of hope proclaim.

Rise up, O saints of God!

The kingdom's task embrace;

redress sin's cruel consequence;

give justice larger place.

Give heed, O saints of God!

Creation cries in pain;

stretch forth your hand of healing now,

with love the weak sustain.

Commit your hearts to seek

the paths which Christ has trod;

and, quickened by the Spirit's pow'r,

rise up, O saints of God!

Liturgy of the Word

Greeting

Prayer of the Day

Amen.

FIRST READING: Exodus 19: 2-8a

2[The Israelites] had journeyed from Rephidim, entered the wilderness of

Sinai, and camped in the wilderness; Israel camped there in front of the

mountain.3Then Moses went up to God; the LORD called to him from the

mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the

Israelites: 4You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you

on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. 5Now therefore, if you obey

my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession

out of all the peoples. Indeed, the whole earth is mine, 6but you shall be

for me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation. These are the words that

you shall speak to the Israelites.”

7So Moses came, summoned the elders of the people, and set before

them all these words that the LORD had commanded him. 8aThe people all

answered as one: “Everything that the LORD has spoken we will do.”

The word of the Lord Thanks be to God.

Gospel Verse

GOSPEL: Matthew 9: 35 – 10: 8 [9-23]

35Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues,

and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease

and every sickness. 36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for

them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a

shepherd. 37Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the

laborers are few; 38therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out

laborers into his harvest.”

10:1Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority

over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every

sickness. 2These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also

known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his

brother John; 3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax

collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4Simon the Cananaean,

and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.

5These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Go

nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6but

go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7As you go, proclaim the

good news, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8Cure the sick, raise

the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without

payment; give without payment. [9Take no gold, or silver, or copper in

your belts, 10no bag for your journey, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff;

for laborers deserve their food. 11Whatever town or village you enter, find

out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you leave. 12As you enter the

house, greet it. 13If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if

it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14If anyone will not

welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as

you leave that house or town. 15Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable

for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for

that town.

16“See, I am sending you out like sheep into the midst of wolves; so be

wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 17Beware of them, for they will

hand you over to councils and flog you in their synagogues; 18and you

will be dragged before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony

to them and the Gentiles. 19When they hand you over, do not worry about

how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will

be given to you at that time; 20for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of

your Father speaking through you. 21Brother will betray brother to death,

and a father his child, and children will rise against parents and have

them put to death; 22and you will be hated by all because of my name. But

the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23When they persecute you

in one town, flee to the next; for truly I tell you, you will not have gone

through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.”]

The Holy Gospel according to Matthew the 9th chapter.

Glory, to you, O Lord

The gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ.

Hymn of the Day: You Servants of God ELW 825

You servants of God, your Master proclaim,

and publish abroad his wonderful name;

the name, all-victorious, of Jesus extol;

his kingdom is glorious and rules over all!

Ascended on high, almighty to save,

yet still he is nigh, his presence we have.

The great congregation his triumph shall sing,

ascribing salvation to Jesus, our king!

Salvation to God who sits on the throne!

Let all cry aloud and honor the Son.

The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim,

fall down on their faces, and worship the Lamb.

Then let us adore and give him his right,

all glory and pow'r and wisdom and might,

all honor and blessing, with angels above,

and thanks never ceasing, and infinite love!
