GOSPEL READING Luke 18:1-8 Page 83 in the pew Bible Jesus tells a parable of a hateful judge who is worn down by a widow’s pleas. Jesus is calling God’s people to cry out for justice and deliverance.

SERMON

HYMN OF THE DAY “When the Poor Ones”

PRAYER’S OF GOD’S PEOPLE Lord, in you mercy, hear our prayer.

CELEBRATION OF HOLY BAPTISM (Saturday) Do you believe in God the Father? I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? 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.

Do you believe in God, the Holy Spirit? 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.

BAPTISMAL WELCOME Through Baptism God has made these children partners in the ministry we all share in Christ Jesus, that we may proclaim the praise of God and bear his creative and redeeming Word to all the world. We welcome you into the Lord’s family. We receive you as partners in Christ, children of the same heavenly Father, and workers with us in the kingdom of God.

SHARING THE PEACE OF JESUS The Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. And also with you.

Meal God feeds us with the presence of Jesus Christ.
