SHARING OF THE PEACE
PRAYER OF THE DAY:
Let us pray. ALL- O God, in the transfiguration of your Son you confirmed the mysteries of the faith by the witness of Moses and Elijah, and in the voice from the bright cloud declaring Jesus your beloved Son, you foreshadowed our adoption as your children. Make us heirs with Christ of your glory, and bring us to enjoy its fullness, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Confession and Forgiveness (ELW p. 94).
Kyrie – (ELW p.147)
Canticle of Praise
LORD’S PRAYER - 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.
Apostles’ creed - 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.
CHILDREN’S MOMENT 1st Reading: 2 Corinthians 8:7
7 But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you[a]—see that you also excel in this grace of giving. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him
Psalm: Psalm 2 LEADER- 1 Why are the nations in an uproar? Why do the peoples mutter empty threats?
ALL- 2 Why do the kings of the earth rise up in revolt, and the princes plot together, against the Lord and against the Lord’s anointed?
LEADER- 3 “Let us break their yoke,” they say; “let us cast off their bonds from us.”
ALL- 4 God whose throne is in heaven is laughing; the Lord holds them in derision.
LEADER- 5 Then in wrath God speaks to them, and in rage fills them with terror.
ALL-6 “As for me, I have anointed my king upon Zion, my holy mountain.”
LEADER- 7 Let me announce the decree of the Lord, who said to me, “You are my son; this day have I begotten you.
ALL- 8 Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession.
LEADER- 9 You shall crush them with an iron rod and shatter them like a piece of pottery.”
ALL- 10 And now, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
LEADER- 11 Submit to the Lord with fear, and with trembling bow in worship;
ALL- 12 lest the Lord be angry, and you perish in a sudden blaze of wrath. Happy are all who take refuge in God!
HYMN OF THE DAY: Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise #834 vs 1-2
GOSPEL: Luke 12: 13-21
PASTOR- The holy gospel according to Luke.
ALL- Glory to you, O Lord.
13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” 14 Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” 15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” 16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ 18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ 20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ 21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”
PASTOR- The gospel of the Lord.
ALL- Praise to you, O Christ.

As God’s beloved children united in Christ, let us pray for the church, the whole human community, and the well-being of the earth, our home. A brief silence.

Healing God, you desire wholeness for all people. Bring healing to any who are experiencing illness, chronic pain, or mental anguish. Comfort the dying and those who grieve. Merciful God, ALL- receive our prayer.
Holy God, in our worship we glimpse your glory, hear your voice, and receive assurance of your love. Inspire all who prepare, lead, and participate in worship to serve you with reverence and joy. Merciful God, ALL- receive our prayer.
Transforming God, you bring life from death. We give thanks for the witness of those who have died in faith, and we praise you for the hope we have in Christ, our Morning Star. Merciful God, ALL- receive our prayer.
Confident that the Holy Spirit receives our prayers and answers us, we commend all for whom we pray to God’s loving-kindness made known to us in Christ Jesus our Savior. Amen.
