GREETINGS and PRAYER
A SONG: LSB 506 “Glory Be to God the Father”
(Please rise)
INVOCATION
P: We make our beginning in the name of the Father;
C: WHO HAS CREATED US, DEFENDED US, AND PROVIDED FOR ALL OUR NEEDS.
P: We make our beginning in the name of the + Son;
C: WHO HAS COME TO US, REDEEMED US, AND WILL COME AGAIN TO TAKE US HOME.
P: We make our beginning in the name of the Holy Spirit;
C: WHO HAS GIVEN US LIFE, BROUGHT US TO FAITH, AND SANCTIFIED US BY HIS WORD.
P: To the Triune God be all glory, thanks, and praise.
C: AMEN.
CONFESSION
P: Heavenly Father, you have made us, we are your creation, everything we have and need comes from your hand. We thank you for this day and all its gifts. But, Father, we must also confess that we have transgressed your commands and gone our own way. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. Therefore, Father, hear us as we confess who we are:
C: LORD GOD, WE CONFESS OUR SIN. YOU HAVE PROMISED TO PROVIDE FOR ALL OUR NEEDS, YET WE MISTRUST YOUR PROMISE. YOU HAVE GIVEN US YOUR SPIRIT AND CALLED US TO OBEDIENCE, YET WE SERVE OUR OWN DESIRES AND MAKE THEM GODS BEFORE YOU. YOU HAVE URGED US TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS, YET WE CHOOSE WHOM WE WILL LOVE AND TREAT THE REST AS THOUGH THEY DO NOT MATTER. FATHER, FORGIVE US, FOR WE HAVE SINNED. FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR SON AND HIS AWESOME SACRIFICE, FORGIVE US AND MAKE US WHOLE AGAIN.
ABSOLUTION
P: Our God is a great God and greatly to be praised. He gives us daily bread for both body and soul. Sin no longer has dominion over us, and the Old Accuser has no claim upon us. By his grace, we fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, and in his Name we have peace with God. Our sins are forgiven; our guilt set aside. By the cross of Jesus and the Word of God then believe these words: I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
C: AMEN!
(Please be seated)
PRAYER
ALL: LORD, WE THANK YOU THAT YOU HAVE TAUGHT US WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE AND DO. HELP US BY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, FOR THE SAKE OF JESUS CHRIST, TO KEEP YOUR WORD IN PURE HEARTS THAT THEREBY WE MAY BE STRENGTHENED IN FAITH, PERFECTED IN HOLINESS, MADE FRUITFUL IN LIFE, AND COMFORTED IN DEATH. AMEN.
The FIRST READING: Genesis 1:1-2:4a
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. 6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. 9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day. 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day. 20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day. 24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” 29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 2:1-4a
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. 2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. 4aThis is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.
P: This is the Word of the Lord.
C: Thanks be to God.
The SECOND READING: Acts 2:29-36
29 “Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. 31 Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay. 32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. 33 Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, “‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand 35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’ 36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”
P: This is the Word of the Lord.
C: Thanks be to God.

16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
P: This is the Gospel of the Lord.
C: Praise to You, O Christ.
