Hymn: Holy God, We Praise Your Name (LBW #535)
Lyrics: John Julian  Tune: “O Grosser Gott”

Holy God, we praise your name;
Lord of all, we bow before you;
all on earth your scepter claim,
all in heav’n above adore you.
Infinite your vast domain,
everlasting is your reign.

Hark, the loud celestial hymn
angel choirs above are raising;
cherubim and seraphim
in unceasing chorus praising,
fill the heav’ns with sweet accord:
“Holy, holy, holy Lord.”

Lo! the apostolic train
join your sacred name to hallow;
prophets swell the glad refrain,
and the white robed martyrs follow;
and from morn to set of sun,
through the church the song goes on.

Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, three we name you;
while in essence only one,
undivided God we claim you,
and adoring bend the knee,
while we own this mystery.

Apostolic Greeting

Prayer of the Day

Ezekiel 33:7-9
Pastor's catechetical highlights in his Bible

Psalm 32:1-7 (responses are the even numbered verses)

¹Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven,
  and whose sin is put away!

²Happy are they to whom the Lord imputes no guilt,
  and in whose spirit there is no guile!

³While I held my tongue, my bones withered away,
  because of my groaning all day long.

⁴For your hand was heavy upon me day and night;
  my moisture was dried up as in the heat of summer.

⁵Then I acknowledged my sin to you,
  and did not conceal my guilt.

⁶I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.”
  Then you forgave me the guilt of my sin.

Romans 13:1-10

Matthew 18:1-20

The Apostles Creed

I believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again 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

Offering

Create In Me

Create in me a clean heart, oh God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with your free Spirit.

Prayer

The 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
