Hope: Anchored in Christ HOPE LUTHERAN CHURCH LUTHERAN CHURCH MISSOURI SYNOD A Stephen Ministry Congregation Welcome to Hope SUNDAYS WEDNESDAYS 8:00 & 10:30AM—Worship 6:30PM—Worship 4:00PM—Spanish Worship w/Communion OUR MISSION STATEMENT: “Anchored in Christ, Empowered by the Spirit, Connecting People to Jesus” We are glad you are taking the time to worship our Risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with us this weekend! We pray God’s blessings on your worship and time spent among us at Hope Lutheran Church! We ask you to please take the time to fill in the Friendship pad (be sure to give us your name and address) and feel free to indicate any prayer concerns on the reverse side of the pad. We are a “Family- Friendly Church” and encourage the participation of children in our worship. However, we realize there are times when children can become disruptive to other worshipers, and for that reason there is a cry room located in the back of the church for your use. Children’s worship bags are available in the narthex for your use during the service (see an usher or elder). Please return the bag following the service to the “Worship Bag Tree.” We encourage you to join us for any and all activities at Hope in the week ahead! IMPORTANT NOTES: for the sanctity of our worship and the benefit of those around you, please refrain from excessive talking in the narthex and sanctuary, and turn off all cell phones, pagers, etc. Please time entrances and exits during congregational singing to minimize distraction to our worshipping community. Following our worship, please make every effort to leave God’s House just as you found it. Please do not bring coffee, cans of soda or bottled water into the sanctuary for your use before or even during the service. Also, please be sure to remove any “used” tissues from the pews or hymnal racks. Your help in keeping God’s house neat and clean will most certainly be appreciated! Thank you!

He frees us from sin, death, and the demands of the Law. In that peace and rest of Jesus we find a new purpose. His light yoke, which is no burden to bear, is a joy. Large Print editions of our Sunday worship folders are available from the ushers. If you are in need of one, don’t hesitate to ask! Week of July 5, 2020 AS WE GATHER Most Americans know the first stanza of the national anthem of the United States of America. That first stanza of the “Star-Spangled Banner” is sung before sporting events, music concerts, and county fair festivities. We may not be as familiar, however, with the fourth stanza of this song in which Francis Scott Key includes the words “In God is our trust.” As America celebrates its Independence Day, we recall similar words of the Psalms. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom He has chosen as His heritage!” (Psalm 33:12). “It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man” (Psalm 118:8). May our trust be in God for safety, salvation, and all things! WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS SALUTE TO THE FLAGS/NATIONAL ANTHEM PLEDGE TO THE AMERICAN FLAG I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. PLEDGE TO THE CHRISTIAN FLAG I pledge allegiance to the cross, of my Lord Jesus Christ, and to the faith for which it stands, one Savior, King Eternal, with mercy and grace for all. 1 “The Star Spangled Banner” O say can you see by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming. Whose broad stripes and bright stars thro’ the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there. O say does that star spangled banner yet wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. INVOCATION P: Blessed are You, O Lord God of our fathers, C: All praise to the Father who reigns above. P: Blessed are You in the temple of Your holiness; C: All praise to the Son who reigns above. P: Blessed are You on the glorious throne of Your kingdom; C: All praise to the Spirit who reigns above. P: Blessed is the nation whose God is Lord! C: And the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance. P: Father, Son, and Spirit, we acknowledge You to be our God. C: To You be all honor and glory, praise and adoration, forever and ever. Amen! OPENING HYMN “O God of Every Nation” (tune: LSB 660) O God of every nation, Of every race and land, Redeem Your whole creation, With Your almighty hand, Where hate and fear divide us And bitter threats are hurled, In love and mercy guide us, And heal our strife-torn world. From search for wealth and power, And scorn of truth and right, From trust in bombs that shower, Destruction through the night, From pride of race and station, And blindness to Your Way, Deliver every nation, Eternal God we pray. Lord, strengthen all who labor, That men may find release, From fear of battling saber, From dread of war's increase; Where hope and courage falter, Your still small voice be heard; With faith that none can alter, Your servants undergird. Keep bright in us the vision, Of days when war shall cease, When hatred and division, Give way to love and peace, Where Christians overcoming Their crown of life shall see, And with the King of Glory, Shall reign eternally. 2 CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION P: As citizens of the two kingdoms, let us make confession of our many sins before our Holy God: Heavenly Father, we confess that we often take for granted the freedoms which You have permitted us to have here in our United States. C: In our freedom we have many opportunities to serve and benefit others in Your name, but we often fail to make the most of them. Forgive us, Lord. P: Heavenly Father, we confess that often we use our liberty for license. C: Forgive us for the times when we have acted within the law, but not justly with our neighbor. P: Heavenly Father, we confess that often our desire to preserve our rights has blinded us to the needs of others. C: Forgive us for the times when we have spoken out with disrespect for government and authority, and for times when we have sat silently by when calls for help have come from the unborn, the aged, the homeless, the hungry, and others in need. We confess our sins before You, Almighty God, ruler of heaven and earth. We trust in Your forgiveness for the sake of our Savior, Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed for us and all. By Your Spirit, strengthen our faith to serve You and our neighbor that ours would indeed be "one nation under God." P: Almighty God, in his mercy has given his Son to die to for us and, for his sake, forgives us all our sins. As a called and ordained servant of the Word, I declare to you the entire forgiveness of all your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. LITANY FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY "Let Freedom Ring" (tune: LBW 567) C: (Sung) God of our fathers, whose almighty hand Leads forth in beauty all the starry band. Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies: Our grateful songs before Your throne arise. P: O God the Father, Creator and Ruler of the world, we give You thanks for our nation—for the history in which we see Your hand, for the opportunities that surround us in our day, and for the promise that the future yet affords. C: Make us worthy of Your goodness, faithful stewards of Your bounty, citizens concerned for the welfare of all. Throughout this land of liberty, O Lord, Let freedom ring! (Sung) From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence, Make Your strong arm our ever-sure defense.

  • A Year in the Life of Bottle the Curmudgeon What You Are About to Read Is the Book of the Blog of the Facebook Project I Started When My Dad Died in 2019
    A Year in the Life of Bottle the Curmudgeon What you are about to read is the book of the blog of the Facebook project I started when my dad died in 2019. It also happens to be many more things: a diary, a commentary on contemporaneous events, a series of stories, lectures, and diatribes on politics, religion, art, business, philosophy, and pop culture, all in the mostly daily publishing of 365 essays, ostensibly about an album, but really just what spewed from my brain while listening to an album. I finished the last essay on June 19, 2020 and began putting it into book from. The hyperlinked but typo rich version of these essays is available at: https://albumsforeternity.blogspot.com/ Thank you for reading, I hope you find it enjoyable, possibly even entertaining. bottleofbeef.com exists, why not give it a visit? Have an album you want me to review? Want to give feedback or converse about something? Send your own wordy words to [email protected] , and I will most likely reply. Unless you’re being a jerk. © Bottle of Beef 2020, all rights reserved. Welcome to my record collection. This is a book about my love of listening to albums. It started off as a nightly perusal of my dad's record collection (which sadly became mine) on my personal Facebook page. Over the ensuing months it became quite an enjoyable process of simply ranting about what I think is a real art form, the album. It exists in three forms: nightly posts on Facebook, a chronologically maintained blog that is still ongoing (though less frequent), and now this book.
