Commemoration of St. Luke the Evangelist
Healing and Prayer Service
October 20, 2019
St. Luke is traditionally identified as the author of both the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles.
Many scholars believe that Luke was a Greek physician who lived in the Greek city of Antioch in
Ancient Syria. His feast day is commemorated on October 18th
.
Inspired by Christ,
living and growing in faith,
we are a loving and open community
of worship, witness, and service in God’s world.

“Pan” from Six Metamorphoses after Ovid Benjamin Britten
Psalm 84 How dear to me is your dwelling, O LORD of hosts!
My soul has a desire and longing for the courts of the LORD; my heart
and my flesh rejoice in the living God.
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her
young, by the side of your altars, O LORD of hosts, my king and my God.
Happy are they who dwell in your house! They will always be praising
you.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning is now and will be forever. Amen
Great is Thy Faithfulness ELW #733

Children’s Sermon
Gospel Verse
P: The Holy Gospel according to St. Luke, the seventeenth chapter.
C: Glory to you, O Lord.
Gospel 11On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and
Galilee. 12As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, 13they called out, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" 14When he saw them, he
said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were
made clean. 15Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back,
praising God with a loud voice. 16He prostrated himself at Jesus' feet and thanked
him. And he was a Samaritan. 17Then Jesus asked, "Were not ten made clean? But
the other nine, where are they? 18Was none of them found to return and give praise
to God except this foreigner?" 19Then he said to him, "Get up and go on your way;
your faith has made you well."
P: The Gospel of our Lord.
C: Praise to you, O Christ.
Sermon
Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing ELW #886

healing

Christ our Lord. Amen.

ALL SAINTS SUNDAY
NOVEMBER 3rd All Saints Sunday, November 3rd, is a special time in
the life of the church to remember all those who have
become a part of the "church triumphant" as "saints in
light." During our All Saints worship service the
names of those who have died in the past year will be
read as candles are lit and the bell is rung. Your family
member will be included in this reading. On behalf of
the congregation, I would like to invite you and your
family to be a part of this year's All Saints Sunday
service at 9:30 on November 3rd.
All Saints Sunday is also an occasion when friends and
members of the Lake of the Isles are invited to honor
and memorialize "the living saints" as well as the "the
saints in light" with a gift to the Endowment Fund.
This year, those whose names are memorialized with a
financial gift will be included on the Sunday morning
worship bulletin and with a flower in a special floral
arrangement.
Blessed be the saints among us and the blessed saints
who have gone before us.
