Striking down stigmas A woman finds healing by touching Jesus’ cloak, and a girl is restored to life when he takes her by the hand. In both cases a boundary is crossed: in Jesus’ time the hemorrhaging woman was considered ritually unclean, polluting others by her touch, and anyone who touched a corpse also became unclean. In Mark’s gospel Jesus breaks down barriers, from his first meal at a tax collector’s house to his last breath on the cross as the temple curtain is torn in two. We dare to touch Jesus in our “uncleanness” and to live as a community that defines no one as an outsider. May your worship experience strengthen you with God’s love and grace. We love our neighbors with healing and feeding them! All Worship can be viewed online at newhanoverlutheran.org, facebook.com/NewHanoverLutheranChurch and/or on YouTube. The Rev. Scott Staub, pastor Richard Thomas, director of GRACE Band and soloist Announcements (Online, streamed video) Prelude Welcome The Holy Spirit calls us together as the people of God. Amen.

Elvey, 1816- 1893. Words and music are in public domain. Greeting The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. And also with you. Prayer of the Day Let us pray. Almighty and merciful God, we implore you to hear the prayers of your people. Be our strong defense against all harm and danger, that we may live and grow in faith and hope, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen. Word The Gospel speaks to us in scripture reading, preaching and song. Gospel Hymn I Know That My Redeemer Lives! ELW #619 “I Know That My Redeemer Lives!” Text: Samuel Medley, 1738-1799, alt. Music: DUKE STREET, attr. John Hatton, d. 1793. Words and music are in public domain. Gospel Acclamation Gospel Reading Mark 5:21-43 The holy gospel according to Mark Glory to you, O Lord. 21When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered around him; and he was by the sea. 22Then one of the leaders of the synagogue named Jairus came and, when he saw him, fell at his feet 23and begged him repeatedly, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live.” 24So he went with him. And a large crowd followed him and pressed in on him. 25Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years. 26She had endured much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had; and she was no better, but rather grew worse. 27She had heard about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28for she said, “If I but touch his clothes, I will be made well.” 29Immediately her hemorrhage stopped; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30Immediately aware that power had gone forth from him, Jesus turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?” 31And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing in on you; how can you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ” 32He looked all around to see who had done it. 33But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. 34He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.” 35While he was still speaking, some people came from the leader’s house to say, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any further?” 36But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the leader of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” 37He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. 38When they came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, he saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39When he had entered, he said to them, “Why do you make a commotion and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping.” 40And they laughed at him. Then he put them all outside, and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha cum,” which means, “Little girl, get up!” 42And immediately the girl got up and began to walk about (she was twelve years of age). At this they were overcome with amazement. 43He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat. The gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ. Sermon Song of the Day How Great Is Our God The splendor of the King clothed in majesty Let all the earth rejoice all the earth rejoice He wraps Himself in light and darkness tries to hide And trembles at His voice and trembles at His voice Chorus How great is our God Sing with me how great is our God And all will see how great how great is our God And age to age He stands and time is in His hands Beginning and the End beginning and the End The Godhead three in one Father Spirit Son The Lion and the Lamb the Lion and the Lamb Bridge Name above all names Worthy of all praise My heart will sing How great is our God “How Great Is Our God” words and music by Chris Tomlin | Ed Cash | Jesse Reeves. © 2004 sixsteps Music (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing); Vamos Publishing (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing); worshiptogether.com songs (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing); Wondrously Made Songs (Admin. by Music Services, Inc.).

By water and the Word God delivers us from sin and death and raises us to new life in Jesus Christ. We are united with all the baptized in the one body of Christ, anointed with the gift of the Holy Spirit, and joined in God’s mission for the life of the world. I present Connor Ryan Harrity for baptism. Called by the Holy Spirit, trusting in the grace and love of God, do you desire to have your child baptized into Christ? I do. As you bring your child to receive the gift of baptism, you are entrusted with responsibilities: to live with him among God’s faithful people, bring him to the word of God and the holy supper, teach him the Lord’s Prayer, the Creed and the Ten Commandments, place in his hands the holy scriptures, and nurture him in faith and prayer, so that your child may learn to trust God, proclaim Christ through word and deed, care for others and the world God made, and work for justice and peace. Do you promise to help your child grow in the Christian faith and life? I do. People of God, do you promise to support Connor Ryan Harrity and pray for him in his new life in Christ? We do. Profession of Faith I ask you to profess your faith in Christ Jesus, reject sin, and confess the faith of the church. Do you renounce the devil and all the forces that defy God, the powers of this world that rebel against God, and the ways of sin that draw you from God? I renounce them. Do you believe in God the Father? I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

  • The Voice February 2021
    The Voice February 2021 The Lord of the Church Provides for His People The Lord Jesus instructs his followers to “Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers” to car- ry on the work of the reign, or kingdom, of God. The members of Hanover Lutheran Church enter into an exciting time, as the congregation prepares to receive a gift from the Good Shepherd. He has heard the prayers of his disciples, and Jesus has provided the answer “Yes” to your request for a pastor. This change is also a time that can cause questions to arise. Such questions are not uncommon for the members of a parish family when receiving a new “under shepherd.” “Will then incoming pastor be someone with whom I can talk? Will his voice be right for me to understand him? (I don’t always hear so well, you know.) What things might change in our con- gregation?” Some of these questions will be answered immediately, once a person meets the new pastor, or hears him preach that first sermon. Other matters will take more time to become clear (or at least clearer). Then there are the other kinds of questions, just as important for congregational members to ask and to answer. “How can I help the new pastor to get to know us better? What is God asking me to do to sup- port my (new) pastor? How can I be sure to keep our congregation focused on what God’s Word teaches? How can we help each other hear what the (new) pastor says may need to be changed?” The truth is simple.

Sharing the caring CHRIST, …here, there, and everywhere LIFE THOUGHT Our nation goes to great lengths to protect her endangered landscapes and animals. Yet abortions deliver our children to death, and assisted suicides execute our elders (Matthew 10:21). Jesus categorizes these acts as persecutions against the Gospel. The comfort and courage we need come from knowing (childlike) and showing (father-like) how human lives from womb to tomb “are of more value than many sparrows” (Matthew 10:31).

  • Understanding Lutherans
    It is not always easy for outsiders to understand a different Christian denomination or church family. One’s preconceptions – for example about the Lutheran churches – may be coloured by common stereo- types or personal experience. This booklet is intended to show how German Lutherans see themselves from an insider perspective. What are their origins? What is Lutheran theology? How do Luther- ans worship? And how do they relate to other churches?
