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!

The Second Sunday After Pentecost - June 18, 2017 God speaks to us in scripture reading, preaching, and song.

Moses tells the Israelites that they are called to be a priestly kingdom and a holy people. Jesus sends out the disciples as laborers into the harvest. In baptism we too are anointed for ministry,

sharing God’s compassion with our needy world. From the Lord’s table, we go forth to proclaim the good news, to heal the sick, and to share our bread with the hungry.

Commemorations for this week…

Onesimos Nesib, translator, evangelist, died 1931 Wednesday, June 21, 2017 Onesimos was born in Ethiopia. Captured and taken as a slave to Eritrea, he was there freed by Swedish missionaries. He translated the Bible into his native Oromo and returned to preach there. John the Baptist Saturday, June 24, 2017 John said, "[Jesus] must increase, but I must decrease." And so his birth is celebrated half a year before Jesus', just as the daylight in the northern hemisphere begins to wane. Jesus honored John as being the greatest prophet. The Sanctuary is a place of reverence and worship to honor our Lord. Please...do not bring beverages or food into the Sanctuary, however you may have these items in the other areas of the church. 2017 Flower and Bulletin Sponsor Lists are on the bulletin board in the 1st floor hallway.

Greeting, Announcements & Sharing of Joys & Concerns … Pastor

Prelude … “How Deep Is The Father’s Love For Us” … Arr. By Carol Tornquist

*Confession and Forgiveness… Pastor and Congregation Let us confess our sins in the presence of God. Most merciful God,

Blessed be the holy Trinity, ☩ one God, full of compassion and mercy, abounding in steadfast love. Amen. Trusting God’s promise of forgiveness, let us confess our sin against God and one another. Eternal God our creator, in you we live and move and have our being. Look upon us, your children, the work of your hands. Forgive us all our offenses, and cleanse us from proud thoughts and empty desires. By your grace draw us near to you, our refuge and our strength; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit given to us. In the mercy of almighty God, Christ died for us while we still were sinners; and for his sake, God

☩ forgives you all your sins. Amen.

*Gathering Hymn … “In Christ Called To Baptize ” … ELW Hymn # 575

*Apostolic Greeting… Pastor with Congregational Response The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. And also with you.

*Kyrie … ELW Page 147 *Prayer of the Day...Pastor with Congregational Response Let us pray… God of compassion, you have opened the way for us and brought us to yourself. Pour your love into our hearts, that, overflowing with joy, we may freely share the

8

blessings of your realm and faithfully proclaim the good news of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.

Special Music … “God And God Alone” … Phill McHugh … Jennifer McCleary, Soloist First Reading … Lay Reader with Congregational Response

Exodus 19:2-8a A reading from Exodus.

At Sinai God assured Israel, “You shall be my treasured possession,” and commissioned them to serve as mediating priests for the nations. The people commit themselves

completely to God’s will. 2[The Israelites] had journeyed from Rephidim, entered the wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness; Israel camped there in front of the mountain.3Then Moses went up to God; the Lord called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the Israelites: 4You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. 5Now therefore, if you obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession out of all the peoples. Indeed, the whole earth is mine, 6but you shall be for me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the Israelites.” 7So Moses came, summoned the elders of the people, and set before them all these words that the Lord had commanded him. 8aThe people all answered as one: “Everything that the Lord has spoken we will do.”

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Psalm … Lay Reader with Congregational Responses … Psalm 100

RE: We are God’s people and the sheep of God’s pasture. (Ps. 100:3)

1Make a joyful noise to the Lord, | all you lands! 2Serve the Lord with gladness; come into God’s presence | with a song. 3Know that the Lord is God, our maker to whom | we belong; we are God’s people and the sheep | of God’s pasture. R 4Enter the gates of the Lord with thanksgiving and the | courts with praise; give thanks and bless God’s | holy name. 5Good indeed is the Lord, whose steadfast love is | everlasting, whose faithfulness endures from | age to age. R

Second Reading … Lay Reader with Congregational Response

Romans 5:1-8 A reading from Romans.

We are no longer God’s enemies but have peace with God, because we were brought into a right relationship with God through Christ’s death. A tested character has been forged for us which

empowers endurance in the midst of suffering and hope for final salvation.

9

1Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. 3And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. 6For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. 8But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

*Gospel Acclamation … “Alleluia. Lord to whom shall we go? … ELW Page 151

*The Gospel … Pastor with Congregational Response

Matthew 9:35--10:8 [9-23] The holy gospel according to St. Matthew.

Glory to you, O Lord. The mission of Jesus’ followers is to continue the mission of Jesus himself. Here, he instructs his first

disciples how they might proclaim the gospel through their words and deeds.

35Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. 36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” 10:1Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness. 2These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; 3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him. 5These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7As you go, proclaim the good news, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment. [9Take no gold, or silver, or copper in your belts, 10no bag for your journey, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for laborers deserve their food. 11Whatever town or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you leave. 12As you enter the house, greet it. 13If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town. 15Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. 16“See, I am sending you out like sheep into the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and

10

innocent as doves. 17Beware of them, for they will hand you over to councils and flog you in their synagogues; 18and you will be dragged before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them and the Gentiles. 19When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you at that time; 20for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; 22and you will be hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next; for truly I tell you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.”]

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 … “Lord, You Give The Great Commission”… ELW Hymn # 579 Sermon … Pastor The Apostles’ Creed … In Unison … ELW Page #105 *The Prayers … Worship Assistant, Congregation Responses, Pastor Called together in the Spirit’s embrace, let us pray for the mending of God’s world.

Steadfast God, you send your church as laborers into your harvest. Heal our divisions and unite us in mission. Make us one at your table. Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great. Faithful Creator, protect your earth and breathe life into its future. Stir our hearts to compassion, that we become healers for the sake of your whole creation as it is made new. Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great. Holy One, you desire peace for all nations. Give rulers and citizens wisdom in the use of power, that wars may cease and all who suffer exile, hunger, and terror find safe haven. Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great. Compassionate One, you have brought us to yourself. Stay near to all who suffer broken hearts, fearful spirits, and disruptive illness (especially). Bring healing and hope to your people. Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great. Abba, Father, your love for your children is boundless. Bless all who father among us and all who yearn for a protective father. Grant wisdom, patience, and good humor. Thank you for those who have shown us fatherly care. Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great. Living Lord, all who live and all who die belong to you. Thank you for all whose lives have witnessed to your glory (especially). Comfort all who mourn. Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

11

All these things, and whatever else you see that we need, we entrust to your care through Christ our Lord. Amen.

*Sharing the Peace… Pastor with Congregational Response The peace of Christ be with you always. And also with you.

Offering… Received by the Ushers Offertory Hymn … “ God, Who Stretched The Spangled Heavens”… ELW Hymn #771 *Offertory… “Let The Vineyards…” ELW Service Music Page # 184 … In Unison *Offertory Prayer… Worship Assistant with Congregational Response Let is pray...Merciful God, you open wide your hand and satisfy the need of every living thing. You have set this feast before us. Open our hands to receive it. Open our hearts to embrace it. Open our lives to live it. We pray this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

*The Great Thanksgiving… Pastor with Congregational Responses The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise.

*Proper Preface… Pastor It is indeed right and salutary that we should at all times and in all places offer thanks and praise to you, O Lord, holy Father, through Christ our Lord, who on this day overcame death and the grave, and by His glorious resurrection opened to us the way of everlasting life. And so, with the church on earth and the hosts of heaven, we praise your name and join their unending hymn: *Sanctus… “Holy, Holy, Holy…” … In Unison … ELW Page 153

*Eucharistic Prayer… Pastor

*The Lord’s Prayer… 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

12

Filled again by these signs of your grace, may we hunger for your reign of justice, may we thirst for your way of peace, for you are Lord forevermore. Amen.

*Blessing….Pastor with Congregational Response May God, whose power working in us can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine, grant

you the gifts of faith and hope. Almighty God, Father, ☩ Son, and Holy Spirit, bless you now and forever. Amen.

*Sending Hymn…“ Praise To The Lord, The Almighty ” … ELW Hymn #858 *Dismissal….Worship Assistant with Congregational Response Go in peace. The Spirit sends us forth to serve. Thanks be to God.

*Gathering Song … Projected on screen... Crossroads with Congregation

“How Great Is Our God” … Tomlin, Reeves & Cash

*Gathering … Pastor with Congregational Responses

Leader: Praise be to God, who redeems all creation. People: Glory to our God, who does not forsake us.

Leader: Whatever life brings to us, God is our foundation. People: We stand upon the faithfulness of our God.

Leader: We will not let any circumstance come between us and God. People: In all things, we will trust and grow in God.

*Prayer For The Day… Pastor with Congregational Response Let us pray...O God who claims all people as your children: Grant us the grace to open our hearts to others and to see others as an opportunity to serve them rather to receive some thing from them; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

Order of Service 11:00 A.M., Contemporary Worship Service

The Congregation is invited to participate at the places marked with Bold Type. *Designates please stand if you are able.

1) The splendor of the King, Clothed in majesty;

Let all the earth rejoice, All the earth rejoice.

He wraps Himself in light, And darkness tries to hid, And trembles at His voice, And trembles at His voice.

How great is our God! Sing with me: How great is

our God! All all will see how great,

How great is our God!

2) And age to age he stands, And time is in His hands; Beginning and the End, Beginning and the End.

The Godhead three in one, Father, Spirit, Son,

The Lion and the Lamb The Lion and the Lamb.

How great is our God! Sing with me: How great is

How great is our God!

15

*Confession and Absolution … Pastor with Congregation

Leader: Let us confess to God and before one another our sins, and especially our lack of faith in God. People: We confess to you, O God, and before one another that we have sinned. Although you are always faithful, we doubt you. We look at the circumstances around us and we fear that we will be swamped by it all. We look for ways out, and when we don’t find them we blame you. We forget that you promised to be with us in all things. We worry about our congregation, and treat visitors as possible resources instead of as your children who need you. Forgive us, and renew us so that we might place our lives fully in your hands. Amen. Leader: God is faithful eternally and in the here and now. Receive God’s grace and love, and find your strength in our God.

A reading from Exodus. At Sinai God assured Israel, “You shall be my treasured possession,” and commissioned them to serve as

mediating priests for the nations. The people commit themselves completely to God’s will.

2[The Israelites] had journeyed from Rephidim, entered the wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness; Israel camped there in front of the mountain.3Then Moses went up to God; the Lord called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the Israelites: 4You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. 5Now therefore, if you obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession out of all the peoples. Indeed, the whole earth is mine, 6but you shall be for me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the Israelites.” 7So Moses came, summoned the elders of the people, and set before them all these words that the Lord had commanded him. 8aThe people all answered as one: “Everything that the Lord has spoken we will do.”

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Second Reading … Lay Reader with Congregational Response

Romans 5:1-8 A reading from Romans.

We are no longer God’s enemies but have peace with God, because we were brought into a right relationship with God through Christ’s death. A tested character has been forged for us which

empowers endurance in the midst of suffering and hope for final salvation.

1Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. 3And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings,

16

knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. 6For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. 8But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

*Alleluia Verse … In Unison … “Ancient Words” by Lynn Deshazo Ancient words, ever true. Changing me and changing you; We have come with open hearts, O, let the ancient words impart.

*The Gospel … Pastor with Congregational Response Matthew 9:35--10:8 [9-23]

The holy gospel according to St. Matthew. Glory to you, O Lord.

The mission of Jesus’ followers is to continue the mission of Jesus himself. Here, he instructs his first disciples how they might proclaim the gospel through their words and deeds.

35Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. 36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” 10:1Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness. 2These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; 3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him. 5These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7As you go, proclaim the good news, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment. [9Take no gold, or silver, or copper in your belts, 10no bag for your journey, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for laborers deserve their food. 11Whatever town or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you leave. 12As you enter the house, greet it. 13If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town. 15Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. 16“See, I am sending you out like sheep into the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 17Beware of them, for they will hand you over to councils and flog you in their synagogues; 18and you will be dragged before governors and kings because of me, as a

17

testimony to them and the Gentiles. 19When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you at that time; 20for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; 22and you will be hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next; for truly I tell you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.”]

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

*The Apostles Creed… In Unison

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 … Pastor *Sharing Of The Peace … Pastor with Congregational Response The peace of Christ be with you always. And also with you.
