All Are Welcome

All who have come to worship are heartily welcomed. Let us joyfully open our hearts to God and to one another.

You are encouraged to participate in all that Shepherd of the Glades has to offer and to make Shepherd of the Glades your spiritual home.

All are invited and welcome to partake of the sacrament of Holy Communion by kneeling at the altar rail. Children are encouraged to come to receive the Lord’s Blessing. The Eucharist is celebrated by intinction. Our Altar Guild at all communion services offers grape juice (the smaller chalice), as well as wine, for intinction, the dipping of wafer into the wine or juice. The Assistant will hold both the wine and the juice and move from the center to the outside of the communion rail. Communion is continuous with kneeling. Note: Gluten free wafers are now offered in each paten.

If Shepherd of the Glades can be of service to you or if you would like Pastor Doug to contact you, please so indicate on the pew welcome sheet.

INTRODUCTIONS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

+ ORDER FOR CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS ELW 94 All may make the sign of the cross in remembrance of baptism as the presiding minister begins:

P In the name of the Father and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen

P God of all mercy and consolation, come to the help of your people, turning us from our sin to live for you alone. Give us the power of your Holy Spirit that we may confess our sin, receive your forgiveness, and grow into the fullness of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.

C Amen

P Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another. Silence is kept for reflection.

P Most merciful God, C We confess that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves. We have sinned

against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name. Amen

P In the mercy of almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for us, and for his sake God forgives us all our sins. As a called and ordained minister of the church of Christ, and by his authority, I therefore declare to you the entire forgiveness of all your sins, in the name of the Father and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

C Amen

+ OPENING HYMN “Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones” ELW 424

+ PRAYER OF THE DAY P Let us pray. C Almighty God, you have knit your people together in one communion in the

mystical body of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen

FIRST READING Daniel 7:1-3, 15-18 1In the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head as he lay in bed. Then he wrote down the dream: 2I, Daniel, saw in my vision by night the four winds of heaven stirring up the great sea, 3and four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another. 15As for me, Daniel, my spirit was troubled within me, and the visions of my head terrified me. 16I approached one of the attendants to ask him the truth concerning all this. So he said that he would disclose to me the interpretation of the matter: 17As for these four great beasts, four kings shall arise out of the earth. 18But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever—forever and ever."

A The Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God.

PSALM: Psalm 149 (Sung responsively) 1Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD | a new song, God's praise in the assembly | of the faithful. 2Let Israel rejoice | in their maker; let the children of Zion be joyful | in their ruler. 3Let them praise their maker's | name with dancing; let them sing praise with tambou- | rine and harp. 4For the LORD takes pleasure | in the people and adorns the | poor with victory. 5Let the faithful re- | joice in triumph; let them sing for joy | on their beds. 6Let the praises of God be | in their throat and a two-edged sword | in their hand, 7to wreak vengeance | on the nations and punishment | on the peoples, 8to bind their | kings in chains and their nobles with | links of iron, 9to inflict on them the judg- | ment decreed; this is glory for all God's faithful ones. | Hallelujah!

SECOND READING: Ephesians 1:11-23 11In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, 12so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory. 13In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; 14this is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God's own people, to the praise of his glory. 15I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason 16I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. 17I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, 18so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, 19and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his great power. 20God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. 22And he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church, 23which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

A The Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God.

+ The Holy Gospel according to: Luke 6:20-31

C Glory to you, O Lord.

20Then Jesus looked up at his disciples and said: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21"Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. "Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man. 23Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets. 24"But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. 25"Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. "Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep. 26Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false prophets. 27But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. 30Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. 31Do to others as you would have them do to you.

P The Gospel of the Lord. C Praise to you, O Christ.

+ APOSTLES’ CREED ELW 105 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 to the dead. 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 A With the whole people of God in Christ Jesus, let us pray for the church, those in

need, and all of God's creation. A brief silence.

SOTG STAINED GLASS WINDOW The Trinity

The Father: To the left of the cross is the open hand of God, giving all life and creation, the sun, the moon, and the stars, all creatures great and small, and things needed to sustain us on His earth. The Son: The cross, gold for the glory of the res-urrection, dominates the art. Around the center of this is red for the blood of Christ’s sacrifice. The Holy Spirit: In the upper right hand corner is the dove, symbol of the Holy Spirit

The Sacraments Holy Communion: Below the dove, the commun-ion chalice is shown, with the wheat and grapes, the bread and wine of communion, the body and blood of Christ. Baptism: To the left of the cross is the shell, an-cient symbol of baptism. Through water as a never ending river of blessing, it flows through our lives.

Our Faith The swirling lines of movement throughout remind us that our faith is never still.
