Please follow the teachers to the CE Building. Call to Confession Let us remember the Law of God. God spoke all these words, saying, honor your father and your mother. You shall not murder. Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. Let us pray. Prayer of Confession (in unison): Patient God, how trying we must be. You have told us, you have shown us, you have come among us. Still, we look away, ignoring, forgetting, rejecting your purposes for us. Have mercy on us. Forgive us for what we have done, and for what we have not done. Tell us again. Show us again. Come among us again. With grace anew, come among us again, so that we might start fresh, and receive the life you have given us in Jesus Christ. Amen. (Continue in Silent Confession) Assurance of Pardon Holy God, your Word, Jesus Christ, spoke peace to a sinful world and brought humanity the gift of reconciliation by the suffering and death he endured. Teach those who bear his name to follow the example he gave us. May our faith, hope, and charity turn hatred to love, conflict to peace, and death to eternal life; through Christ our Lord. Amen. *Hymn, No. 579 “Gloria Patri” Blue Hymnal Anthem “Become to Us the Living Bread” French Melody WE PROCLAIM GOD’S WORD First Lesson Isaiah 55:1-9 Page 635, Pew Bible *Hymn, No. 407 “When a Poor One” Blue Hymnal Second Lesson Luke 13:1-9 Page 906, Pew Bible Sermon “You Satisfy the Hungry Heart" Rev.

O Lord, I will bless you as long as I live.
I will lift up my hands and call upon your name.
My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast.
My mouth praises you with joyful lips.
I praise you, O God, for you have been my help.
In the Shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
I will lift up my hands and call upon your name.
My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast.
My mouth praises you with joyful lips.
I praise you, O God, for you have been my help.
In the Shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
