Commencement Service Pictorial & Call Service

May 17, 2003

MARTIN LUTHER COLLEGE, New Ulm, Minnesota

Message from the President Dear Families and Friends of Martin Luther College, The governing board, faculty, students, and staff of MLC welcome you to your college of ministry at this exciting time. "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." We, along with you, pray that our gracious Lord will hold his protecting hand over our graduates as they follow his lead to wherever it is he will take them. They are the future of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod.

This afternoon we welcome you to the Call Service at 2:30 p.m., again in the Luther Student Center gymnasium. We pray that the Lord of the church will use and bless those assigned as gifts to his church. May they boldly proclaim the gospel per the injunction of our Savior.

Yes, it is an exciting time at MLC. May we all be edified by God's Word as it is declared in both our commencement and call services. We thank the parents of the graduates for the encouragement given their sons and daughters to pursue their education toward the goal of public ministry.

"Not to us, 0 Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory . .. "

Mission of the Colle1?:e Martin Luther College exists to serve the ministerial needs of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) by preparing men for pastoral training at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary and by preparing men and women for service as teachers and staff ministers in the Synod's church and schools so that the WELS may be served by candidates both qualified and competent to proclaim the Word of God faithfully and in accord with the Lutheran Confessions in the Book of Concord

Choral Response: "Jesus, Lead the Way"

setting by Richard Proulx

Sermon: Isaiah 41: 10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Hymn: "How Firm a Foundation" Please stand for the singing of the hymn.

1. How firm a foundation, 0 saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in his excellent Word!

What more can he say than to you he has said Who unto the Savior for refuge have fled?

2. In ev'ry condition, in sickness, in health, In poverty's vale or abounding in wealth, At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea The Lord, the Almighty, your strength e'er shall be.

3. "Fear not, I am with you. Oh, be not dismayed, For I am your God and will still give you aid; I'll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand."

4. "Throughout all their lifetime my people shall prove My sov'reign, eternal, unchangeable love, And then, when gray hair shall their temples adore, Like lambs they shall still on my shoulders be borne."

The Class Hymn: "Christ Be My Leader"

arr. Sterling Procter

The congregation will join in singing the hymn as noted.

Class

Christ be my leader by night as by day, Safe through the darkness, for he is the way.

Gladly I follow, my future his care; Darkness is daylight when Jesus is there.

Christ be my teacher in age as in youth, Drifting or doubting, for he is the truth.

Grant me to trust him, though shifting as sand.

Doubt cannot daunt me - in Jesus I stand!

People

Christ be my Savior in calm as in strife; Death cannot hold me, for he is the life.

Nor darkness nor doubting nor sin and its stain Can touch my salvation - with Jesus I reign!

Stand

Prayer Leader: Heavenly Father, we thank you for making this day possible. We thank and praise you for this school of ministry, for the blessings of the school year, for parents and all who support the training of ministers with prayers and gifts, for faithful students who prepare for public ministry with dedication, for dedicated teachers and staff who follow your ways, and for a church body which sees its mission to spread your Word among all peoples.

People: Above all we thank you for our Savior whose forgiveness alone makes it possible for sinful people to serve a holy God. Leader: 0 Lord, bless these graduates. Bless those who will enter your ministry as teachers and staff ministers with the ability to fearlessly speak the mysteries of your Gospel.

People: In your mercy, hear our prayer.

Leader: Bless those who will continue their preparation for the pastoral ministry at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary with patience and diligence.

People: In your mercy, hear our prayer.

Leader: Bless those who will be serving you as lay members in your congregations with opportunities to use their special gifts and training.

People: In your mercy, hear our prayer.

Leader: Be with us all, gracious God, as we serve as your ambassadors that we may do and say only that which will bring glory and honor to your holy name.

People: We bring these requests to you in the name of our Savior, Jesus. Amen

Stand

Leader: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles,

People: So that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

23

Leader: Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. Not that we are competent to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. People: He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant-not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Leader: Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.

People: And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

Prayer Leader: Jesus, Master Teacher, how precious are the words you speak to us. From the storeroom of your wisdom you bring us treasures of your truth. And chief among these is your heavenly Father's plan of salvation which you revealed to us by your teaching and life.

People: You have exalted us to be members of your kingdom now and forever.

Leader: The words you have taught us- they are spirit and they are life.

People: Forgive us for letting the cares and concerns of this life distract us from your teaching. Give us hearts which cling to your word as the one thing needful. Amen.

Be seated

Lesson: 1 Corinthians 2:9-16 Leader: This is the Word of the Lord.
