Welcome to the Family of God Concerning the Lord’s Supper… Worthy reception of the Lord’s Supper: Fasting and bodily preparation are certainly fine outward training. But that person is truly worthy and well prepared who has faith in these words; “given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins.” But anyone who does not believe these words or doubts them is unworthy and unprepared, for the words “for you” require all hearts to believe. (Luther’s Small Catechism) We encourage your individual preparation for the Lord’s Supper. Luther’s “Christian Questions and Answers” (pp. 329-330 in the hymnal) are wonderful aids in preparation. You may also wish to meditate on the sacramental hymns (617-643). The Lord’s blood can be received by common cup or individual cup.

P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen. P Beloved in the Lord! Let us draw near with a true heart and confess our sins unto God our Father, be- seeching Him in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to grant us forgiveness. P Our help is in the name of the Lord, C who made heaven and earth. P I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord, C and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Silence for reflection on God's Word and for self-examination. P O almighty God, merciful Father, C I, a poor, miserable sinner, confess unto You all my sins and iniquities with which I have ever offended You and justly deserved Your temporal and eternal punishment. But I am heartily sorry for them and sincerely repent of them, and I pray You of Your boundless mercy and for the sake of the holy, innocent, bitter sufferings and death of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to be gracious and merciful to me, a poor, sinful being. P Upon this your confession, I, by virtue of my office, as a called and ordained servant of the Word, an- nounce the grace of God unto all of you, and in the stead and by the command of my Lord Jesus Christ I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen. Service of the Word Introit Ps. 28:7–9; antiphon: Ps. 28:6 Blessèd | be the Lord!* For he has heard the voice of my pleas for | mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and | I am helped;* my heart exults, and with my song I give | thanks to him. The Lord is the strength of his | people;* he is the saving refuge of his a- | nointed. Oh, save your people and bless your | heritage!* Be their shepherd and carry them for- | ever. Blessèd | be the Lord!* For he has heard the voice of my pleas for | mercy. Kyrie Mark 10:47 Gloria in Excelsis Luke 2:14; John 1:29 Salutation and Collect of the Day P Almighty and eternal God, Your Son Jesus triumphed over the prince of demons and freed us from bondage to sin. Help us to stand firm against every assault of Satan, and enable us always to do Your will; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Old Testament Reading Genesis 3:8–15 They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” A This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. Psalm 130 Out | of the depths* I cry to you, | O Lord! O Lord, | hear my voice!* Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for | mercy! If you, O Lord, should mark in- | iquities,* O Lord, | who could stand? But with you there is for- | giveness,* that you | may be feared. I wait for the Lord, my | soul waits,* and in his | word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the | morning,* more than watchmen for the | morning. O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is | steadfast love,* and with him is plentiful re- | demption. And he will redeem | Israel* from all his in- | iquities. Glory be to the Father and | to the Son* and to the Holy | Spirit; as it was in the be- | ginning,* is now, and will be forever. | Amen. Epistle 2 Corinthians 4:13—5:1 Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being re- newed day by day.
