GATHERING
GATHERING SONG: A Mighty Fortress Is Our God #504 vs 1-2 SHARING OF THE PEACE
PRAYER OF THE DAY:
Let us pray. A brief silence is kept before the prayer.
ALL- Lord God, our strength, the struggle between good and evil rages within and around us, and the devil and all the forces that defy you tempt us with empty promises. Keep us steadfast in your word, and when we fall, raise us again and restore us through your Son, 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
HOLY COMMUNION
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:Ephesians 6:19–20 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
Psalm: Psalm 32 LEADER- 1 Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sin is put away! ALL- 2 Happy are they to whom the Lord imputes no guilt, and in whose spirit there is no guile! LEADER- 3 While I held my tongue, my bones withered away, because of my groaning all day long. ALL- 4 For your hand was heavy upon me day and night; my moisture was dried up as in the heat of summer. LEADER- 5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not conceal my guilt. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” Then you forgave me the guilt of my sin.ALL- 6 Therefore all the faithful will make their prayers to you in time of trouble; when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach them.LEADER- 7 You are my hiding-place; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.ALL- 8 “I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you should go; I will guide you with my eye. LEADER-9 Do not be like horse or mule, which have no understanding; who must be fitted with bit and bridle, or else they will not stay near you.”ALL- 10 Great are the tribulations of the wicked; but mercy embraces those who trust in the Lord.LEADER- 11 Be glad, you righteous, and rejoice in the Lord; shout for joy, all who are true of heart.
HYMN OF THE DAY: What Wonderous Love Is This #666 vs 1-2 GOSPEL: Matthew 5:13-16 Pastor- The holy gospel according to Matthew. ALL- Glory to you, O Lord.
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. 14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Pastor- The gospel of the Lord. ALL- Praise to you, O Christ.

PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION
Reconciled by God’s mercy and sustained by God’s presence, let us pray for the world and its needs. God of all grace, grant faith to your church. Give to all the baptized the will to resist temptation and to worship and serve you alone. Hear us, O God. ALL- Your mercy is great.
God of all creation, tend this earth. When human greed and disobedience threaten this planet and the life it contains, lead us by your Spirit into ways of reverence, awe, and gentleness. Hear us, O God. ALL- Your mercy is great.
God of all nations, preserve us from trouble. Surround all living in places of violence with your steadfast love and give resilience to all who work for peace. Hear us, O God. ALL- Your mercy is great.
God of all healing, mend our wounds. Bring wholeness to all who are sick, give peace to all who groan in grief, and send companions to all who are lonely or isolated. Hear us, O God. ALL- Your mercy is great.
God of all people, provide for our community. For any among us who hunger for bread, bring nourishment. For any among us who hunger for truth, speak your life-giving word. Hear us, O God. ALL- Your mercy is great.
God of all life, bring us to you. We thank you for your free and abounding grace, and for those who, by that same grace, now rest eternally in you. Hear us, O God. ALL- Your mercy is great.
Receive our prayers, O God, through Jesus Christ, our strength and salvation. Amen.
