GatheringThe Holy Spirit calls us together as the people of God.
Welcome to worship at Incarnation Lutheran Church! As we gather in this hour of worship in the very presence of our Lord, we invite you to join with us in singing the liturgy and the hymns, to listen to the words of the proclamation of the gospel
through the sermon, and to receive the forgiveness of sin and strength to serve others through the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Children are welcome! We believe they enhance the gathering of the Kingdom of God for us; however, if you
would feel more comfortable, a nursery is provided in the CDC building if needed. We encourage parents to teach your children how to worship by helping them follow the order of worship in the bulletin. We ask that all electronic devices be
silenced during this time of worship. This is to allow you and all to worship reverently. Again, welcome to worship!
WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
VOLUNTARY Mediation in D minor Margaret R. Tucker
CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESSBlessed be the holy Trinity, ☩ one God,the eternal voice from heaven,the anointed and beloved one,the Spirit moving over the waters.Amen.
As we approach the mystery of God, let us come in confession,trusting the love of Christ crucified and risen.
Silence is kept for reflection.
God who searches us and knows us,you have shown us what is good,but we have looked to other lights to find our way.We have not been just in our dealings with others.We have chosen revenge over mercy.We have promoted ourselvesinstead of walking humbly with you.With what shall we come before you?Forgive us our sin,and show us your salvationin the face of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
Beloved of God,you have not received the spirit of the world,but the Spirit that is from God,poured out for you in the faithfulness of Jesus Christ.Receive the promise of baptism:You are God’s child; ☩ your sins are forgiven.Rejoice and be glad, for yours is the reign of heaven.Amen.

HYMN OF THE DAY Lord, Whose Love in Humble Service ELW 712

creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s 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,and he will come 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.
