Holy Communion: If you would like to commune with us this
morning, please read the Holy Communion statement in the
friendship booklet. We encourage not only our members to
celebrate together this gift from God, but also those visiting
from
sister congregations and those who share our confession
regarding Holy Communion. If you have any questions, please
speak with an elder or pastor.
This morning we’re looking beyond the walls. What do you see
next door to the church? Next door to the parsonage? Next door to
all of you as members? Who are the people around us? Do they all
look like us? Do they all live like us? With all the events going
on around us, how are we seeing people? As Christians we need to
ask, “How does Jesus see people in Matthew 9:35-10:8 and how can
that inform our eyes and actions today?” So thanks for joining us
and having our Lord
open our eyes!

“O Day of Rest and Gladness” LSB 906
O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright; This
day the high and lowly,
Through ages joined to bless, Sing, “Holy, holy, holy,” The
triune God confess.
This day at earth’s creation The light first had its birth; This
day for our salvation
Christ rose from depths of earth; This day our Lord victorious
The Spirit sent from heav’n,
And thus this day most glorious A three-fold light was
giv’n.
This day, God’s people meeting,
His Holy Scripture hear; His living presence greeting,
Through bread and wine made near. We journey on, believing,
Renewed with heav’nly might, From grace more grace
receiving,
On this blest day of light.
That light our hope sustaining, We walk the pilgrim way,
At length our rest attaining, Our endless Sabbath day.
We sing to Thee our praises, O Father, Spirit, Son;
The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One.

OPENING HYMN
PRELUDE
-
P: We worship in the name of the Father, Son, + and Holy Spirit.
C: Amen. P: Out of deep need, we enter Your holy temple, O Lord,
seeking Your presence and Your guidance. As Jesus charged His
waiting disciples, deliver now Your charge to us. And lead us, as
He led them, into the fields white unto harvest, that we may become
faithful laborers in Your vineyard to open our eyes and see all
people as You do. C: Amen. First Reading: Psalm 116:1-2, 12-19 L:
This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. I believe in God
the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus
Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy
Spirit, born of the virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third
day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven and sits
at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will
come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy
Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen. Second Reading: Romans 5:1-8 L: This is the Word
of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God.
“We Are Called to Be God’s People” TCH 415
We are called to be God’s people, Showing by our lives His
grace, One in heart and one in spirit, Sign of hope for all the
race.
Let us show how He has changed us And remade us as His own; Let
us share our life together
As we shall around His throne.

REFLECTIVE HYMN
INVOCATION & OPENING PRAYER
-
We are called to be God’s servants, Working in His world
today;
Taking His own task upon us, All His sacred words obey.
Let us rise, then, to His summons, Dedicate to Him our all,
That we may be faithful servants, Quick to answer now His
call.
We are called to be God’s prophets,
Speaking for the truth and right; Standing firm for godly
justice,
Bringing evil into light. Let us seek the courage needed,
Our high calling to fulfill, That we all may know the
blessing
Of the doing of God’s will.
Gospel Reading: Matthew 9:35-10:8 L: This is the Gospel of our
Lord. C: Praise to You, O Christ.
P: Triune God, C: We praise You as the God of love and life.
Though Jesus prayed that we would be one, we confess that we fail
to live in unity with each other and with You. We break our
communion through hostile words and unkind actions. We long for
Your Spirit to heal us and to correct us. We long for You to help
us experience communion with You and with each other. Please
forgive us when our sin has caused disunity between us and You and
disunity with others. Even now, dependent on Your grace, we commit
ourselves to live more fully in the unity You desire that we may
see all people as You do.
(Silence for Confession and Self-Examination) P: The Good News
this morning is that God still sees us as His beloved children. He
sees our failure, but He has also heard our confession and chooses
mercy. You are forgiven all your sins in the name of the Father,
Son + and Holy Spirit! C: Amen.

“We Are All One In Mission” Tune: Aurelia (The Church’s One
Foundation -LSB 644 )
We all are one in mission
We all are one in call Our varied gifts united
By Christ the Lord of all A single great commission
Compels us from above To plan and work together
That all may know Christ's love
We all are called for service To witness in God's name Our
ministries are different Our purpose is the same
To touch the lives of others By God's surprising grace So ev'ry
folk and nation
May feel God's warm embrace
We all behold one vision A stark reality
The author of salvation Was nailed upon a tree Yet resurrected
Justice
Gives rise that we may share Free reconciliation
And hope amid despair
Now let us be united And let our song be heard
Now let us be a vessel For God's redeeming Word We all are one
in mission
We all are one in call Our varied gifts united
By Christ the Lord of all

“Compassion Hymn”
There is an everlasting kindness You lavished on us
When the Radiance of heaven Came to rescue the lost;
You called the sheep without a shepherd To leave their
distress
For your streams of forgiveness And the shade of Your rest.
And with compassion for the hurting,
You reached out Your hand As the lame ran to meet You And the
dead breathed again;
You saw behind the eyes of sorrow And shared in our tears,
Heard the sigh of the weary, Let the children draw near.
Chorus
What boundless love, What fathomless grace You have shown us, O
God of compassion!
Each day we live an offering of praise As we show to the world
Your compassion.
We stood beneath the cross of Calvary
And gazed on Your face At the thorns of oppression And the
wounds of disgrace,
For surely You have borne our suffering And carried our
grief
As You pardoned the scoffer And showed grace to the thief.
Chorus
How beautiful the feet that carry
This gospel of peace To the fields of injustice
And the valleys of need— To be a voice of hope and healing,
To answer the cries Of the hungry and helpless With the mercy of
Christ.
Chorus
“Follow You”
You live among the least of these
The weary and the weak And it would be a tragedy for me to turn
away
All my needs you have supplied. When I was dead you gave me
life.
How could I not give it away so freely? Continued on next

Chorus And I’ll
Follow you into the homes of are broken Follow you into the

Meet the needs for the poor and the needy, God Follow you into

To make your kingdom come To the corners of the earth
Until your work is done ‘Cause faith without works is dead
And on the cross your blood was shed So how could we not give it
away so freely?

Jesus Christ, our Lord….
Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses

into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen.

Praise God: • For being a God with open eyes and when seeing
crowds had compassion
on them. Thank you for being a shepherd who seeks out the lost
in the crowds. Thank you for showing your compassion to us and
seeking us out this day with your love, care, and shepherding
heart!
• We lift up the marriages in our church and pray your love and
joy would continue to sustain them. We especially lift up the
marriages of Larry and Sharon Wright, and our friends in Christ the
Greens and Nicholsons as they celebrate anniversaries this week!
Keep them strong in you!
• We give you thanks for our neighbors, neighborhoods, and the
relationships we can grow in them! Bless us with eyes to see our
neighbors as people created in your image. Give us eyes of love and
compassion. Allow us opportunities to grow in relationship in life
together and bless us with moments to share your love in deeds and
words.
• We praise you for all the missionaries who are out in the
harvest fields keep them strong and steadfast in their mission to
show your love!
SERMON NOTES
PRAYERS & PRAISES
-
In Our Prayers: • We pray for our fractured nation that there
would be unity. We pray that
protests would be peaceful and that bridges would be built,
instead of destroyed in our community. We also pray Lord Jesus,
that your eyes of compassion would fall upon everyone hurting and
that your healing would transform our nation. Furthermore, we pray
that your peace would quell the violence and that in your power of
your love the evils of hatred and racism would be eradicated.
• We lift up the family of our brother-in-Christ Michael Denis
as the mourn his passing into the arms of his Savior Jesus late
Tuesday night. We ask that your hands of comfort, care, love and
Resurrection hope of Jesus surround the Denis family through their
loss. May we surround them with love and hold hands with them in
this time.
• We continue to lift up all essential and health care workers.
As things open up and there are more people working and gathering
we pray you would keep them safe and that we would show
appreciation for their service.
• We pray that we would not only lift up missionaries in prayer,
but see ourselves as people of mission right in our neighborhoods.
Help us grow in confidence and compassion to grow in relationships
with our neighbors.
• We ask your healing over all in our midst who are ill and in
need of your healing. Bring them restoration, wholeness, comfort,
and your joy in all they do. We also ask for wisdom for doctors as
they treat our loved ones.
Matthew 9:35-10:8 When Jesus saw the crowds, in v. 36, what did
he see? What is the difference between seeing with our eyes and
seeing with our hearts when it comes to truly seeing others? Share
a ministry opportunity you've had that opened your eyes to the
great spiritual needs around you. How might you pursue such
opportunities in the near future? After Jesus notes the size of the
harvest and the lack of laborers, what does he do next? Do you
think they were ready? How might that relate to how ready we feel
to be sent in ministry? Do the massive spiritual needs of the world
compel you to action or make you feel helpless? How might Jesus's
call to pray in 9:38 impact your reaction? How would you describe
your attitude toward unbelieving coworkers and neighbors? What
factors keep you from feeling compassion for them?
The budget report will return. There has been some issues with
the
spreadsheet. Sorry for the delay.

Meeting to Regather Both the Elders and Council are working on

needs to be done so pray for wisdom and insight for us working
through it. Zoom Bible Study—Going Through a BSF Study on James
Join us this Wednesday at 7 PM as we continue to work through the
book of James. It has been a very good and timely study with
everything going on in the world. If you want to learn Zoom please
let us know if you need a zoom mentor, who can help you. Also once
we reach phase 2 it should be easier to help get peo-ple on zoom
because we might be able to meet in person to help with computer
issues. Reopening the Office in Phase 2 Talking with Rachel we will
be working on having her back in the office when Phase 2 starts. We
still want to encourage everyone to make phone calls and emails

distancing in the office. Thank you! What’s Coming Up-We Continue
Our Series Open Our Eyes Join us streaming next week as we continue
our series Open Our Eyes with the theme of Hear All The People from
Matthew 10:24-39. Furthermore, we are excit-ed because our brother
in Christ Ron Mallory, will be leading worship again! We also
celebrate all the Fathers in our lives with Father’s Day! What an
encouraging reminder that through it all we have a Good Good Father
who hears us. How can he and his Son be an example of how we are to
truly hear people in a world that seems to have so much white noise
and chaos? We look forward to you joining us as we explore this
critical issue next Sunday.
