WELCOME TO CALVARY “The Holy Spirit calls us together as the people of God”

Thank you for worshipping with us today. You are always welcome at Calvary!

All Saint’s Sunday - November 6, 2016 You will find the 8:30 AM Traditional Worship Service beginning on Page 8 and in this same bulletin

you will find the 11:00 AM Contemporary Worship Service beginning on page 16. Throughout the Services please note that the asterisk (*) designates please stand if you are able.

In holy baptism God makes saints out of sinners. In holy communion God forgives the sins of all the saints. In the assembly today we give thanks for all the saints “who from their labors rest,” who have fought the good fight, who have gained the crown. In the same breath we petition our God for the strength to hear and to heed

the admonitions of the Lord Jesus in today’s gospel. Recalling that we have been sealed by the Spirit and sustained by the Savior’s body and blood, we keep on keeping on as God gives us breath, to the praise of God’s glory.

Commemorations for this week…

John Christian Frederick Heyer, died 1873; Bartholomaeus Ziegenbalg, died 1719; Ludwig Nommensen,

died 1918; missionaries Monday, November 07, 2016 Heyer was the fir st missionary sent out by American

Lutherans. After teaching at Gettysburg College and Seminary he was assigned to the Andhra region of India. A

worker among the Tamil people on the southeast coast of India, Ziegenbalg was opposed both by local Hindus and

by Danish authorities who favored a different missionary style. He was known for caring about the welfare of the

whole person. Nommensen was born in northern Germany and was sent to Sumatra as a Lutheran missionary.

Working among the Batak people, he translated the scriptures into their language, and honored their native culture.

Martin, Bishop of Tours, died 397 Friday, November 11, 2016 Martin's pagan father enlisted him in the

Roman army. Approached by a beggar, Martin cut his cloak in half and gave part to the man, whom he later

understood as representing Christ. He asked to leave the army, but was jailed instead. After his release, he became a

preacher, and later a bishop.

Søren Aabye Kierkegaard, teacher, died 1855 Friday, November 11, 2016 Kierkegaard was a Danish

theologian whose writings also gave rise to the modern philosophy of existentialism. He frequently attacked the

complacency of the state church of his day, as well as its desire to be accepted by polite society rather than be a

stumbling block.

The Sun of righteousness shall rise with shining beams of healing. Let us gather under the wings

of God’s mercy. Gracious God, we acknowledge that we are sinners and we confess

our sins—those known to us that burden our hearts, and those unknown to us but

seen by you. We know that before you nothing remains hidden, and in you every

guilt; and work in us that which is pleasing in your sight; for the sake of Jesus

Amen.

Anthem by Calvary Adult Choir…“I Know That My Redeemer Lives”… Hopson

First Reading…Lay Reader with Congregational Response

Daniel 7:1-3, 15-18

10

A reading from Daniel.

The book of Daniel was written in the second century BCE, when the Syrian king Antiochus

Epiphanes was severely persecuting the Jews. Daniel’s vision of the four beasts serves

to proclaim the message that human kings will come and go, but the kingdom

will ultimately belong to God and to God’s people.

1In the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head as

he lay in bed. Then he wrote down the dream: 2I, Daniel, saw in my vision by night the four

winds of heaven stirring up the great sea, 3and four great beasts came up out of the sea, different

from one another.

15As for me, Daniel, my spirit was troubled within me, and the visions of my head terrified

me. 16I approached one of the attendants to ask him the truth concerning all this. So he said that

he would disclose to me the interpretation of the matter: 17“As for these four great beasts, four

kings shall arise out of the earth. 18But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom

and possess the kingdom forever—forever and ever.”

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Psalm… With Congregational Responses

PSALM: Psalm 149

1Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD| a new song,

God’s praise in the assembly | of the faithful.

2Let Israel rejoice | in their maker;

let the children of Zion be joyful | in their ruler. 3Let them praise their maker’s | name with dancing;

let them sing praise with tambou- | rine and harp.

4For the LORD takes pleasure | in the people

and adorns the | poor with victory. R 5Let the faithful re- | joice in triumph;

let them sing for joy | on their beds.

6Let the praises of God be | in their throat

and a two-edged sword | in their hand, 7to wreak vengeance | on the nations

and punishment | on the peoples,

8to bind their | kings in chains

and their nobles with | links of iron, 9to inflict on them the judg- | ment decreed;

this is glory for all God’s faithful ones. | Hallelujah! R

11

Second Reading… Lay Reader with Congregational Responses

Ephesians 1:11-23

A reading from Ephesians.

After giving thanks for the faith of the Ephesians, Paul prays that they might understand

the wisdom, hope, and power of God that is embodied in Jesus Christ.

11In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose

of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, 12so that we, who were

the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory. 13In him you also, when

you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were

marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; 14this is the pledge of our inheritance toward

redemption as God’s own people, to the praise of his glory.

15I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this

reason 16I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. 17I pray that the

God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revela-

tion as you come to know him, 18so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know

what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance

among the saints, 19and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe,

according to the working of his great power. 20God put this power to work in Christ when he

raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21far above all

rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in

this age but also in the age to come. 22And he has put all things under his feet and has made him

the head over all things for the church, 23which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in

all.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

*Gospel… Pastor with Congregational Response Luke 6:20-31

The holy gospel according to St. Luke.

Glory to you, O Lord. In echoes of the prophet Isaiah and Mary’s song of praise, Jesus reveals surprising things

about who enjoys blessing and who endures woe. He invites his disciples to shower radical

love, blessing, forgiveness, generosity, and trust, even to enemies and outsiders.

20Then [Jesus] looked up at his disciples and said:

“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21“Blessed are you who are

hungry now, for you will be filled. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22“Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame

you on account of the Son of Man. 23Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your re-

ward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets.

24“But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. 25“Woe to you who

are full now, for you will be hungry. “Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn

and weep. 26“Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the

false prophets.

27“But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless

those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer

the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. 30Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for

them again. 31Do to others as you would have them do to you.”

The gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ.

Children’s Message… Pastor After the Children’s Message, if someone has signed up lead the program, Children are invited to participate

in “Children's Church” . Children will return to their families in time to commune with them.

Hymn of the Day...“For All The Saints”… Verses 1—5 … ELW Hymn # 422

The Message…Pastor Remembering...

When we were baptized in Christ Jesus, we were baptized into His death.

We were buried therefore with Him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by

the glory of the Father, we too might live a new life. For if we have been united with Him in a death

like His, we shall certainly be united with Him in a resurrection like his.

Psalm 121: I lift up my eyes to the hills — from where will my help come? 2My help comes from the

LORD, who made heaven and earth. 3He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not

slumber. 4He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is

your shade at your right hand. 6The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. 7The LORD

will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. 8The LORD will keep your going out and your

coming in from this time on and forevermore. O

God, our help in ages past and our hope for years to come:

We give thanks for all your faithful people who have followed the light of your word

13

throughout the centuries into our time and place.

As we remember these people, strengthen us to follow Christ through this world until we are carried into

the harvest of eternal life, where suffering and death will be no more. Hear our prayer in the name of

the good and gracious shepherd, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.

*The Nicene Creed… In Unison...ELW Page 104

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is,

seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the

Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not

made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and

for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and

the virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under

Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again

in accordance with the scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the

right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the

dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father

and the Son,* who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has

spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for

the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the

world to come. Amen.

*The Prayers...Worship Assistant, Congregational Responses, Pastor With the people of God gathered here and throughout the world, we offer our prayers for the church,

those in need, and all of creation.

For the church and its leaders, that we continue to proclaim the gospel of salvation to every corner of the

earth, so that all embody the hope of eternal life, let us pray. Have mercy, O God.

For the well-being of creation, for the seas and their creatures, for those preparing for changing weather,

and for those who serve as good stewards of God’s gifts, let us pray. Have mercy, O God.

For peace among nations, for governments and electorates, for all who rule and have authority at any

our Lord, let us pray. Have mercy, O God.

witnesses to the inheritance granted to us by Jesus Christ, let us pray. Have mercy, O God.

The Sun of righteousness shall rise with shining beams of healing. Let us gather under the

wings of God’s mercy. Gracious God, we acknowledge that we are sinners and we confess

our sins—those known to us that burden our hearts, and those unknown to us but

seen by you. We know that before you nothing remains hidden, and in you every

thing is revealed. Free us from the slavery of sin; liberate us from the bondage of

guilt; and work in us that which is pleasing in your sight; for the sake of Jesus

Christ our Lord. Amen.

commune with them.

MESSAGE… Pastor with Congregational Response

Remembering... When we were baptized in Christ Jesus, we were baptized into His death.

We were buried therefore with Him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live a new life. For if we have been united with Him in a death

like His, we shall certainly be united with Him in a resurrection like his. Psalm 121: I lift up my eyes to the hills — from where will my help come? 2My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. 3He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. 4He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is

your shade at your right hand. 6The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. 7The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. 8The LORD will keep your going out and your

coming in from this time on and forevermore. O God, our help in ages past and our hope for years to come:

We give thanks for all your faithful people who have followed the light of your word through-out the

centuries into our time and

place. As we re-member these people, strengthen us to follow Christ through this world until we are carried into the harvest of eternal life, where suffering and death will be no more. Hear our prayer in the name of the good and

Give thanks to the Lord Our God and King; His love endures forever. For He is good; He is above all things;

His love endures forever. Sing praise; sing praise; Sing praise, sing praise. Forever God is faithful! Forever God is strong!

gracious shepherd, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.

*THE NICENE CREED… In Unison We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accord-ance with the scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,* who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. *SHARING OF THE PEACE… Pastor with Congregational Response The peace of Christ be with you always. And also with you.
