A Year of Growing
Confession and Forgiveness In the name of the Father, and of the
☩ Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known,
and from whom no secrets are
hid: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of
your Holy Spirit, that we may
perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy name, through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one
another. Most merciful God,
we confess that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves.
We have sinned
against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and
by what we have
left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have
not loved our
neighbors as ourselves. For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us.
Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in
your will and walk in your
ways, to the glory of your holy name.
Amen.
God, who is rich in mercy, loved us even when we were dead in
sin, and made us alive
together with Christ. By grace you have been saved. In the name
of ☩Jesus Christ, your sins
are forgiven. Almighty God strengthen you with power through the
Holy Spirit, that Christ
may live in your hearts through faith.
Amen.

Hymn of Praise
Prayer of the Day
Let us pray. God of the seas, sky, and land: When Jonah turned
to run from you, you
showed him that nothing and no one could hide from your
presence. You are in all
things, and you love all things. Show us the gift of your
presence, and help us to carry
your word of compassion and grace to all the world, in the name
of the one who
carried out your love flawlessly, Jesus Christ, our redeemer.
Amen.
...in faith
Our worship leader
heralds us into song
proclaiming that right
here, right now This(!) is
the feast of victory for
our God.
Then, drawing directly
from the description of
heaven in the book of
Revelation, our voices are
joined to that heavenly
throng as we sing with
them, “Worthy is the Lamb
who was slain, to receive power
and wealth and wisdom and
might and honor and glory
and blessings!”
(Revelation 5:12)
Not only is this song a
powerful proclamation of
what God has
accomplished in Christ,
but also what now Christ
is accomplishing in us
today.
Our joint response to
singing of God’s grace
and saving work for each
of us, we then enter
corporate prayer.

Coming next week:
Isaiah 6:1-8
Psalm 29:1-11
1Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the
fish, 2saying, "I called to the LORD out of my distress, and he
answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my
voice. 3You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and
the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed
over me. 4Then I said, 'I am driven away from your sight; how shall
I look again upon your holy temple?' 5The waters closed in over me;
the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped around my head
6at the roots of the mountains.
I went down to the land
whose bars closed upon me forever;
yet you brought up my life from the Pit,
O LORD my God.
7As my life was ebbing away,
I remembered the LORD;
and my prayer came to you,
into your holy temple.
8Those who worship vain idols
forsake their true loyalty.
9But I with the voice of thanksgiving
will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
Deliverance belongs to the LORD!"

The Offering is an
important part of
Christian worship; a
moment when we
share God’s abundance
by giving back to God
what God has first
given to us: our selves,
time, talents, and
finances.
Thank you for all the
ways you live by God’s
grace, sharing from
what you have to
empower the mission
and ministry to which
God has called us as St.
John’s Lutheran
Church.
