THE PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION ........................................................................................... Jean Basnight

THE FIRST SCRIPTURE LESSON: Revelation 5: 11-14 ............................................................ Jean Basnight

Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders; they numbered myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, singing with full voice, ‘Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!’ Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, singing, ‘To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might for ever and ever!’ And the four living creatures said, ‘Amen!’ And the elders fell down and worshipped.

THE SECOND SCRIPTURE LESSON: John 21: 1-19 ..........................................................The Rev. Craig Peel

After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and he showed himself in this way. Gathered there together were Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them, ‘I am going fishing.’ They said to him, ‘We will go with you.’ They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. Just after daybreak, Jesus stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, ‘Children, you have no fish, have you?’ They answered him, ‘No.’ He said to them, ‘Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you will find some.’ So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in because there were so many fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, ‘It is the Lord!’ When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on some clothes, for he was naked, and jumped into the lake. But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, only about a hundred yards off. When they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, ‘Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.’ So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, ‘Come and have breakfast.’ Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, ‘Who are you?’ because they knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ A second time he said to him, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Tend my sheep.’ He said to him the third time, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, ‘Do you love me?’ And he said to him, ‘Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep. Very truly, I tell you, when you were younger, you used to fasten your own belt and to go wherever you wished. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten a belt around you and take you where you do not wish to go.’ (He said this to indicate the kind of death by which he would glorify God.) After this he said to him, ‘Follow me.’

LEADER: This is the Word of the Lord. PEOPLE: Thanks be to God.

♦THE AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (Spoken in Unison) ........ (from The Confession of 1967: 9.31-32 – adapted)

To be reconciled to God is to be sent into the world to be God’s reconciling community. This community, the church universal, is entrusted with God’s message of reconciliation and shares God’s labor of healing the enmities which separate people from God and from each other. Christ has called the church to this mission and given it the gift of the Holy Spirit. His crucifixion discloses to the church God’s judgement on the inhumanity of people against other people, and the awful consequences of the church’s own complicity in injustice. In the power of the risen Christ and the hope of His coming again, the church sees the promise of God’s renewal of our life in society and of God’s victory over all wrong. So to live and serve others is to confess Christ as Lord.

THE PASTORAL PRAYER & THE LORD'S PRAYER (Spoken in Unison)

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 debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever. Amen.

THE CALL TO CONFESSION

THE CORPORATE PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Spoken in Unison)

God of love, trusting your mercy, we come to you once again trailing our sins behind us. We willfully walk by doors which would lead to your will. We major in taking inventory of the lives of others, and minor in taking a hard look at all the places we fall short. We take your grace for granted, and make life a chore instead of a joy. We rest content to bubble ourselves into our own small-minded opinions and prejudices, and leave little space for you to break through to us. We walk by neighbors and strangers in need wrapped up in our own concerns. In Jesus Christ we signed up for a full time commitment to you, yet we persist in trying to take an early retirement. Forgive us, dear God, and help us to do an “about face” and walk to the center of your will. For the sake of Christ, our Savior, we pray. Amen.
