A Reading from Acts 7:55-60 55
Filled with the Holy Spirit, [Stephen] gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God
and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56
“Look,” he said, “I see the heavens
opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” 57
But they covered
their ears, and with a loud shout all rushed together against him. 58
Then they dragged
him out of the city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid their coats at the
feet of a young man named Saul. 59
While they were stoning Stephen, he prayed,
“Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60
Then he knelt down and cried out in a loud voice,
“Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he died.
Hymn Hallelujah! Jesus Lives

The Gospel John 14:1-14
P: A reading from the Gospel of Saint John, the 14th Chapter.
[Jesus said to the disciples:] 1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in
God, believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house there are many dwelling
places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for
you? 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take
you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. 4And you know the
way to the place where I am going.” 5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not
know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6Jesus said to him,
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except
through me. 7If you know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you
do know him and have seen him.”
8Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be
satisfied.” 9Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and
you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How
can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10
Do you not believe that I am in the
Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on
my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11
Believe me that I
am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me
because of the works themselves. 12
Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes
in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than
these, because I am going to the Father. 13
I will do whatever you ask in my
name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14
If in my name you ask
me for anything, I will do it.”
P: The gospel of our Lord!

Thanksgiving for the Word P: In Christ, you have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation.
C: We believe in him and are marked with the seal of the
promised Holy Spirit.
P: Living together in trust and hope, we confess our faith.
C: 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.
P: God has given us the ministry of reconciliation. Therefore, let us be
reconciled to God and to one another.
P: Gracious God,
C: Have mercy on us. In your compassion forgive us our sins,
known and unknown, things done and left undone. Uphold us
by your Spirit so that we may live and serve you in the
newness of life, to the honor and glory of your holy name;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
P: May the almighty and merciful Lord grant us pardon, forgiveness,
and peace from our sins.
C: Amen.

Prayers of the People
Lord’s Prayer P: Gathered into one by the Holy Spirit, let us pray as Jesus taught us.
C: 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.
Blessing P: Go now as God’s chosen witnesses to testify that Christ has been
raised and that we are raised with him. Do not look for him among
the dead, but be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
And may God raise you from all that would entomb you; May Jesus
Christ call you by name and go ahead of you; And may the Holy
Spirit empower you for all that is good.
C: Alleluia! Amen!
