EUCHARIST 2
Loving God, in Christ we are accepted by grace and have peace with you. We know what is good and right, but we do what is hateful and evil. We fail to love our neighbors and fall short of your law of love. We do not share with those in need or extend hospitality to strangers. We ignore the groaning of creation and forget the hope of the gospel.
Forgive us, loving God. Pour your Spirit into our hearts, that we may live as those who are dead to sin and alive to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ neither death, nor life, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
In the name of + Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. Thank be to God.

Just as the rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return again to it, rather moisten the earth and make it fruitful and growing, so that it gives seed for sowing and bread to eat:
So shall the word, that goes forth from my mouth, be also; it will not return to me empty, rather it does my will, and

wieder zu mir leer kommen, sondern tun, das mir gefället, und soll ihm gelingen, dazu ich’s sende.
Isaiah 55:10–11
Mein Gott, hier wird mein Herze sein: Ich öffne dir’s in meines Jesu Namen; So streue deinen Same Als in ein gutes Land hinein. Mein Gott, hier wird mein Herze sein: Laß solches Frucht, und hundertfältig, bringen.
O Herr, Herr, hilf! o Herr, laß wohlgelingen!
Du wollest deinen Geist und Kraft zum Worte geben, Erhör uns, lieber Herre Gott!
Nur wehre, treuer Vater, wehre, Daß mich und keinen Christen nicht Des Teufels Trug verkehre. Sein Sinn ist ganz dahin gericht’, Uns deines Wortes zu berauben Mit aller Seligkeit.
Den Satan unter unsre Füße treten. Erhör uns, lieber Herre Gott!
Ach! viel verleugnen Wort und Glauben Und fallen ab wie faules Obst, Wenn sie Verfolgung sollen leiden. So stürzen sie in ewig Herzeleid, Da sie ein zeitlich Weh vermeiden.
Und uns für des Feindes und Satanas grausamen Mord und Lästerungen, Wüten und Toben väterlich behüten. Erhör uns, lieber Herre Gott!
shall achieve the purpose for which I send it.
My God, here is my heart: I open it to you in my Jesus’ name; so cast your seed within as on a fertile soil. My God, here is my heart: May it bear such fruit, and hundred-fold. O Lord, Lord, help! O Lord, let it be accomplished!
That you would lend your spirit and power with your Word, Hear us, dear Lord God!
Only assure, true Father, assure, that neither I nor any Christians are perverted by the Devil’s deceit. His purpose is completely dedicated to robbing us of your word and all its blessedness.
That Satan be crushed under our feet. Hear us, dear Lord God!
Ah! Many deny word and faith and fall away like rotten fruit, if they suffer persecution. So they plunge into eternal suffering, in order to avoid a temporary woe.
That we, from the Enemy’s and Satan’s horrid murder and blasphemy, raging and fury, be fatherly protected. Hear us, dear Lord God!
SUNDAY, JULY 16 5
Ein andrer sorgt nur für den Bauch; Inzwischen wird der Seele ganz vergessen; Der Mammon auch
Hat vieler Herz besessen. So kann das Wort zu keiner Kraft gelangen.
Und wieviel Seelen hält Die Wollust nicht gefangen?
So sehr verführet sie die Welt, Die Welt, die ihnen muß anstatt des Himmels stehen, Darüber sie vom Himmel irregehen.
Alle Irrige und Verführte wiederbringen. Erhör uns, lieber Herre Gott!
Another cares only for his belly; in the meantime totally forgetting his soul;
Mammon also has possessed many hearts. The Word by no means can triumph here
And how many souls are not held captive by lust?
So strongly the world tempts them, the world, that must take Heaven’s place for them, since from heaven they wander away.
That all erring and misled ones be brought back. Hear us, dear Lord God!
IV. Aria Mein Seelenschatz ist Gottes Wort;
Außer dem sind alle Schätze
Solche Netze, Welche Welt und Satan stricken, Schnöde Seelen zu berücken. Fort mit allen, fort, nur fort! Mein Seelenschatz ist Gottes Wort.
V. Chorale Ich bitt, o Herr, aus Herzens Grund, Du wollst nicht von mir nehmen
Dein heil’ges Wort aus meinem Mund; So wird mich nicht beschämen Mein Sünd und Schuld, denn in dein Huld
Setz ich all mein Vertrauen: Wer sich nur fest darauf verläßt, Der wird den Tod nicht schauen.
My soul’s treasure is God’s word; Besides this all precious things are such webs woven by the world and Satan, to entice miserable souls. Away with all of them, away, away! My soul’s treasure is God’s word.
I pray, O Lord, from the bottom of my heart, that you will never take your holy Word from my mouth; so will I never be ashamed by my sin and guilt, for in your grace I place all my trust: whoever relies firmly upon this, will never look upon death.

An offering is gathered for the mission of the church, including the care of those in need. By vote of the LSM student body, today’s offering benefits No Kid Hungry, a national campaign run by Share Our Strength, a nonprofit working to solve problems of hunger and poverty in the United States and around the world. After 25 years of successfully investing in local nonprofits and helping find the best approaches to eradicating poverty and hunger, Share Our Strength launched No Kid Hungry in 2010. As a child hunger organization, ending childhood hunger is their primary focus, though Share Our Strength continues to invest in and develop other campaigns. Offerings may be placed in the basket, or you can use the QR code at left. All offerings collected through the LSM website will be shared with these organizations.

HOLY COMMUNION AT LSM
All are welcome at the table of our Lord Jesus Christ, but no one is required to commune. As a Lutheran worshiping community, the heart of the meal of Holy Communion (also called Eucharist) is trust in the forgiveness of sins that follows repentance. We also affirm that the crucified and risen Christ is truly present in the Lord’s Supper, giving us his body and blood as food and drink.
You are welcome to come forward at the direction of an usher, following others up the right side to the table. The bread is gluten-free, and we offer both regular wine and alcohol-free wine. Receive the bread first with an open hand and eat immediately, followed by regular wine from a common cup or by individual cup from a pouring chalice of regular wine (first chalice) or alcohol-free wine (second chalice). All three stations around the altar offer both common cup and individual cup. Please approach any open station at the direction of an usher. There is also a station on the floor level, to your left as you approach the steps.
Please know that you are also welcome to come forward and receive a blessing from the presider, Chaplain Nathan: show this by crossing your arms and hands over your shoulders.
If your own church tradition or personal conviction would not have you commune with us, you are welcome to remain in your chair to sing and pray during the meal. In the spirit of the traditional Kyrie, may we all continue to pray “for the peace of the whole world, for the well-being of the church of God, and for the unity of all.” Music during communion includes
