The Fifth Sunday after Epiphany February 05, 2012 Sunday, 10:30 a.m. Prelude Announcements and Birthday Recognitions Light of Christ L In the name
of the Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen L Almighty God,
to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are
hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit,
that we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy name, through
Jesus Christ our Lord. C Amen L If we say we have
no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our
sins, God who is faithful and just will forgive our sins and cleanse us from
all unrighteousness. (Let us observe a moment of
silence for reflection and self-examination.) L Most merciful
God, C we confess that we are in bondage to sin and cannot free ourselves.
We have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and
by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we
have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. For the sake of your Son, Jesus
Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may
delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name.
Amen P Almighty God,
in his mercy, has given his Son to die for us and, for his sake, forgives us
all our sins. As a called and ordained minister of the Church of Christ, and by
his authority, I therefore declare to us the entire forgiveness of all our
sins, in the name of the Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen Sharing the Peace of Christ
P The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love
of God and the
Communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. C And also with you. P In Peace let
us pray to the Lord.
P For the Peace
from above, and for our salvation, let us pray to the Lord
P For the Peace
of the whole world, for the well-being of the and for the unity
of all, let us pray to the Lord.
P For this Holy
house, and for all who offer here their worship and praise, let us pray to the
Lord.
P Help, save,
comfort and defend us, gracious Lord.
L This is the Feast of victory for our
God. Alleluia.
Prayer of the Day Almighty God,
You sent Your only Son as the Word of life for our eyes to see and our ears to
hear. Help us to believe with joy what
the Scriptures proclaim, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen Anthem Scripture
21Have
you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? 22It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its
inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a
curtain, and spreads them like a tent to live in; 23who brings princes to naught, and makes the rulers of the
earth as nothing. 24Scarcely are they planted, scarcely
sown, scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth, when he blows upon them,
and they wither, and the tempest carries them off like stubble. 25To whom then will you compare me, or who is my equal?
says the Holy One. 26Lift up your eyes on high and see: Who
created these? He who brings out their host and numbers them, calling them all
by name; because he is great in strength, mighty in power, not one is
missing. 27Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way is
hidden from the Lord, and my
right is disregarded by my God”? 28Have
you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord
is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint
or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. 29He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the
powerless. 30Even youths will faint and be weary, and
the young will fall exhausted; 31but
those who wait for the Lord shall
renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall
run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
29As
soon as the disciples left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and
Andrew, with James and John. 30Now
Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told Jesus about her at
once. 31He came and took her by the hand and
lifted her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them. 32That
evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with
demons. 33And the whole city was gathered around
the door. 34And he cured many who were sick with
various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons
to speak, because they knew him. 35In
the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted
place, and there he prayed. 36And
Simon and his companions hunted for him. 37When
they found him, they said to him, “Everyone is searching for you.” 38He answered, “Let
us go on to the neighboring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there
also; for that is what I came out to do.” 39And he went throughout Galilee, proclaiming the message
in their synagogues and casting out demons. Children’s Message
The Sermon *Apostle’s Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of
heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose
again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right
hand of the Father. He
will come again 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 The Sharing of our Tithes and Offerings
*Words of Institution and the Lord’s Prayer 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 Distribution of Holy
Communion All who believe in
Jesus Christ as Risen Lord and Savior are welcome to
partake in the meal He has prepared for you. The inner ring of white cups in the Communion tray is
