HYMN OF THE DAY: Take My Life, That I May Be #685 vs.1-2
SERMON: Pastor Katie
READING: Luke 12:13-21
Gospel: Luke 12:13-21
The holy gospel according to Luke. ALL-Glory to you, O Lord.
In God’s reign, the “rich will be sent away empty.” Jesus uses a parable to warn against identifying the worth of one’s life with the value of one’s possessions rather than one’s relationship with God.
13 Someone in the crowd said to [Jesus,] “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” 14 But he said to him, “Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?” 15 And he said to them, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” 16 Then he told them a parable: “The land of a rich man produced abundantly. 17 And he thought to himself, ‘What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?’ 18 Then he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ 20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ 21 So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.”
The gospel of the Lord. ALL- Praise to you, O Christ.
SERMON: Pastor Katie Kringstad

Prayers of Intercession
In solidarity with all creation, we join our voice to the voice of the whole church and pray for the needs of the world. A brief silence.
Renew in your church a perspective of life beyond worldly pursuits. Build an enthusiasm to embrace life in Christ, so that Christ, the life of the world, is revealed to everyone. God of grace, ALL-hear our prayer.
Revitalize and protect the treasures of wild places. Teach all people to value the earth, winds, waters, trees, and animals, the gifts that make life possible on this planet. God of grace, ALL-hear our prayer.
Speak wisdom to any in positions of power, that they cease practices of divisiveness, insult, and oppression. Clothe all people in your image, and establish equity and peace. God of grace, ALL-hear our prayer.
Reveal your loving presence in the lives of people suffering hunger and need, illness and grief, pain and fear. Give strength to those who give care, and equip them with compassion as they make your love known. God of grace, ALL-hear our prayer.
Store up in this congregation a full measure of gratitude and generosity. Guide the work of treasurers and all who attend to financial matters. Support those whose work in our community is difficult and demanding; make us mindful of the toil that goes unnoticed. God of grace, ALL-hear our prayer.
Receive our thanks for the lives of your saints who now rest from their labors. Give us wisdom through their witness and encourage us in love as we continue our lives in the world. God of grace, ALL-hear our prayer.
Trusting in your loving kindness, we place our prayer and hope in you, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

****Attached you will find a flier for the QPR Suicide Prevention Training that NDSU Extension Services is hosting at KLC on August 12 at 6:30pm. North Dakota has the 4th highest (per capita) rate of suicide in the country, so this training could be extremely helpful. Jill, from NDSU Extension, said that this 90 minute training (including Q&A time) is like CPR for suicide, meaning it will train attendees in how to help until trained professionals can arrive. There will also be time after the training for some decompression and more personal and specific questions.
Please share this with your congregation and post it generously. If even one of God’s children can be saved because of somebody attending this training, it is worth it.
If you have any questions, please reach out to me or Jill Sokness (jill.sokness@ndsu.edu), who will have way more information than I do. (KLC is simply providing a space for the training, so I have little information).
Peace, Pastor Kyle Giermann pastorkyle@kindredlutheran.com office# 701.428.3630
