CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESSAll may make the sign of the cross, the sign marked at baptism, as the presiding minister begins.Blessed be the holy Trinity, ☩ one God,the God of manna,the God of miracles,the God of mercy.Amen.Drawn to Christ and seeking God’s abundance,let us confess our sin.Silence is kept for reflection.

God, our provider,help us.It is hard to believe there is enough to share.We question your ways when they differ from the waysof the world in which we live.We turn to our own understandingrather than trusting in you.We take offense at your teachings and your ways.Turn us again to you.Where else can we turn?Share with us the words of eternal lifeand feed us for life in the world.Amen. Beloved people of God:in Jesus, the manna from heaven,you are fed and nourished.By Jesus, the worker of miracles,there is always more than enough.Through Jesus, ☩ the bread of life,you are shown God’s mercy:you are forgiven and loved into abundant life.Amen.   PRAYER OF THE DAYLet us pray, O God, from you come all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works. Give to us, your servants, that peace which the world cannot give, that our hearts may be set to obey your commandments; and also that we, being defended from the fear of our enemies, may live in peace and quietness, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.Amen.

WORD 

First Reading: Jeremiah 23:1-6Jeremiah prophesied before the exile in 587 BCE. In this passage, he uses the metaphor of a shepherd to describe the bad kings who have scattered the “flock” of Israel. God promises to gather the flock and to raise up a new king from David’s line to save Israel and Judah. 1Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the LORD. 2Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who shepherd my people: It is you who have scattered my flock, and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. So I will attend to you for your evil doings, says the LORD. 3Then I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the lands where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply. 4I will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them, and they shall not fear any longer, or be dismayed, nor shall any be missing, says the LORD.

  5The days are surely coming, says the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 6In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. And this is the name by which he will be called: “The LORD is our righteousness.”   L: The word of the Lord.C: Thanks be to God.  Psalm: Psalm 23The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not be in want. (Ps. 23:1)  1The LORD is my shepherd;  I shall not be in want. 2The LORD makes me lie down in green pastures  and leads me beside still waters. 3You restore my soul, O LORD,  and guide me along right pathways for your name’s sake. 4Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil;  for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.  5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;  you anoint my head with oil, and my cup is running over. 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,  and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.   Second Reading: Ephesians 2:11-22The author of this letter reminds his audience that originally they were not part of God’s chosen people. Through Jesus’ death, however, they are included in God’s household of faith, whose cornerstone is Jesus Christ. 11Remember that at one time you Gentiles by birth, called “the uncircumcision” by those who are called “the circumcision”—a physical circumcision made in the flesh by human hands—12remember that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us. 15He has abolished the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace, 16and might reconcile both groups to God in one body through the cross, thus putting to death that hostility through it. 17So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were

5

near; 18for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, 20built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. 21In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; 22in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God. 

L: The word of the Lord.C: Thanks be to God. PLEASE STAND AS YOU ARE ABLE Gospel AcclamationAlleluia. My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. Alleluia. (John 10:27)

 THE HOLY GOSPELThe Holy Gospel according to St. Mark, the 6th chapter.Glory to you, O Lord! Gospel: Mark 6:30-34, 53-56When Jesus sends his disciples out to teach and heal, they minister among large numbers of people. Their work is motivated by Christ’s desire to be among those in need. 30The apostles gathered around Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. 31He said to them, “Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. 32And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. 33Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they hurried there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them. 34As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

  53When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored the boat. 54When they got out of the boat, people at once recognized him, 55and rushed about that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed. The Gospel of the Lord!Praise to you, O Christ!

HYMN OF THE DAY “The Church’s One Foundation”

APOSTLES’ CREED Living together in trust and hope, we confess our faith. 

I believe in God, the Father almighty,creator of heaven and earth.

I believe 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 to the dead.On the third day he rose again;he ascended into heaven,he is seated at the right hand of the Father,

7

and he will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic Church,the communion of saints,the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body,and the life everlasting. Amen 

Prayers of IntercessionRooted in Christ and sustained by the Spirit, we offer our prayers for the church, the world, and all of creation.

A brief silence.

Tend your church, O God. Encourage bishops, pastors, and deacons in their proclamation of the gospel. Raise up new leaders and encourage those pursuing a call to ministry. Embolden all the baptized to embody your love and justice. Hear us, O God.Your mercy is great.Restore your creation, O God. Sustain croplands and pastures and safeguard all farm animals and livestock. Preserve lakes, rivers, and streams that offer refreshment. Revive lands recovering from natural disasters and protect coastlands threatened by rising oceans. Hear us, O God.Your mercy is great.Reconcile the nations, O God. Break down the dividing walls that make us strangers to one another and unite us as one human family. Equip leaders to deal wisely with conflict and guide diplomats who seek peaceful solutions. Hear us, O God.Your mercy is great.Heal your people, O God. Look with compassion on immigrants, exiles, and all who are afraid or feel lost. Give rest to those who are weary, comfort to those who are grieving, and recovery to those who are ill (especially people trapped in cycles of poverty and homelessness, those suffering from COVID-19 and its effects, and Lois Snyder, Jennifer Robilotta, Carolyn Russo, Carolyn Calhoun, Dwayne LeBlanc, Blossom Holder (Christopher Holder’s mother), Gwen Schambach (Kathy Brown’s mother), Bob Tabbert (Lori VerHey’s father), Joe Andrus, Ed Dusang, Patsy Hatem, Bob LeBoeuf (friend of Debbie and Todd Paulson), Thomas Harris, Melanie Lunn (Bill & Ed Dusang’s sister), Oscar Ortiz (Maria Ortiz’s son), (Pause for other names offered up from the congregation). Hear us, O God.Your mercy is great.Nourish this congregation, O God. Prepare a table where we receive food for our hungering spirits. Renew our commitment to provide for one another and revitalize our ministries of feeding and nurturing hungry neighbors. Hear us, O God.Your mercy is great.Here other intercessions may be offered.

You lead us home, O God. We give thanks for all who have died, now citizens with the saints. As you have received them into your heavenly home, so welcome all of us to dwell in your house forever. Hear us, O God.Your mercy is great.We lift these and all our prayers to you, O God, confident in the promise of your saving love, through Jesus Christ our Lord.Amen. 

PEACEThe peace of Christ be with you always.And also with you.

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING The Lord be with you.And also with you.Lift up your hearts.We lift them to the Lord.Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.It is right to give our thanks and praise.

9

 It is indeed right, our duty and our joy,that we should at all times and in all placesgive thanks and praise to you, almighty and merciful God,through our Savior Jesus Christ;who on this day overcame death and the grave,and by his glorious resurrection opened to us the way of everlasting life.And so, with all the choirs of angels,with the church on earth and the hosts of heaven,we praise your name and join their unending hymn: 

In the night in which he was betrayed,our Lord Jesus took bread, and gave thanks;broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying:Take and eat; this is my body, given for you.Do this for the remembrance of me. Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks,and gave it for all to drink, saying:This cup is the new covenant in my blood,shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin.Do this for the remembrance of me. 

10

Remembering, therefore, his death, resurrection, and ascension,we await his coming in glory.Pour out upon us the Spirit of your love, O Lord,and unite the wills of all who share this heavenly food,the body and blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord;to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit,be all honor and glory, now and forever.Amen.

LORD’S PRAYEROur 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,as we forgive those

who trespass against us;and lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from evil.For thine is the kingdom,and the power, and the glory,forever and ever. Amen.

 INVITATION Christ has set the table with more than enough for all.Come!Thanks be to God.   You’re invited to use either the pre-packaged communion as before or come to the communion rail to be offered bread & wine—the holy body of God.
