Committed to Sharing Jesus
WELCOME – A note for any visitors among us. We are glad you are here with us! A quick note about the Lutheran Divine service and what we believe about worship. To us worship isn’t so much about what we do, but about what God does. Lutherans believe God is present with us through the Word and Sacraments we receive. In fact, we teach that in the Lutheran Service, God comes to forgive us, to feed us and bless us. As we receive God’s ministry to us through the Word and the sacraments we in turn respond to God in prayer, thanksgiving and praise.

PRAYER OF THE DAY Let us pray Lord God, everything is in your care. Put away from us all things that are harmful, and give us whatever is profitable for us. We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
READINGS 2 Samuel 6:1-5, 12b-19 David brings the ark to Jerusalem Ephesians 1:3-14 God praised for his secret plan now revealed Mark 6:14-29 The death of John the Baptist
PSALM 24 (said responsively)
P: The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; C: for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters. P: Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? C: He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to
an idol or swear by what is false. P: He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God his Saviour. C: Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of
Jacob. P: Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of
glory may come in. C: Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in
battle. P: Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of
glory may come in. C: Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty—he is the King of glory.
