READING Psalm 23

READING 1 Peter 2:19-25 GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

A: The Holy Gospel according to St. John the 10th Chapter. C: Glory to you, O Lord.

GOSPEL John 10:1-10 A: The gospel of our Lord. C: Praise to you, O Christ. SERMON Pastor Kate Knutson HYMN OF DAY During this hymn, we invite you to gather the elements you will need to celebrate

Holy Communion with us a few moments from now.

THE APOSTLE’S CREED

I believe in God, the Father almighty,

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.

PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION P: Trusting God’s promise of new life, we pray for the renewal of the church, the world, and all of creation. Please kneel as you are able.

A brief silence. We commend these and all our prayers to you, O God. Come near to us with your saving help, for the sake of Jesus Christ, our risen Lord. C: Amen.

GREAT THANKSGIVING DIALOGUE

It is our duty and delight… and join their unending hymn:

THANKSGIVING AT THE TABLE P: You are indeed holy, almighty and merciful God.

You are most holy, and great is the majesty of your glory.

You so loved the world that you gave your only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but have eternal life.

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.

Remembering our Messiah’s life, death, and resurrection we give thanks to you, O Lord God Almighty, not as we ought but as we are able; and we ask you mercifully to accept our praise and thanksgiving. Bless us, your servants, with your Holy Spirit and these your own gifts of bread and wine, so that we and all who share in the body and blood of Christ may be filled with heavenly blessing and grace, and, receiving the forgiveness of sin, may be formed to live as your holy people. To you, O God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, be all honor and glory in your holy church, now and forever.

C: Amen.

Gathered into one by the Holy Spirit, we pray the prayer Jesus gave us:

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.

COMMUNION

Instructions for Holy Communion at home while watching online. We now invite you to break the bread and share the cup with those who are gathered around you. Select one person to hand out the bread and wine. As that person gives the bread and wine (or juice), please remember to share these words: This is my body, given for you. This is my blood, shed for you. After all have communed, make sure that the selected person also receives communion in the same manner. If you happen to be alone, lift up each element of communion before your face and say out loud: __(Name)___ this is my body, given for you. This is my blood, shed for you.

Table Blessing P: May the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ strengthen you and keep

you in his grace. Amen. SENDING PRAYER A: Let us pray.

You have given yourself to us, Lord. C: Now we give ourselves for others. A: You have raised us with Christ and made us a new people. C: As people of the resurrection, we will serve you with joy. A: Your glory has filled our hearts. C: Help us to glorify you in all things, through Christ our Lord, we pray.

Amen.

BLESSING P: The blessing of the living God,

Father, ☩ Son, and Holy Spirit, surround and sustain you, keep you from harm, and fill you with courage.

C: Amen.
