Message from the President Dear Families and Friends of Martin Luther College, Today is a day in which we rejoice and give thanks. Another Graduation Service, another Call Service; the results of the Lord's protecting hand and gracious direction at this our college of ministry. Graduates prepared to heed the Lord's lead wherever he may take them - to Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, classrooms and congregations across the United States, China, Japan, and other parts of the world and this country. What exciting times for MLC graduates.

May our merciful Lord hold them close to him as they all boldly proclaim the gospel. They are the future of our church body.

May the Lord of the church continue to bring men and women to MLC, the WELS college of ministry, to pursue the goal of public ministry to his glory and the benefit of his church.

The governing board, faculty, students and staff welcome you to your college of ministry and invite you to share in our rejoicing and thanksgiving.

Mission of the College 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.

The Class Hymn: "Christ Be My Leader" 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

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.

21

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-n ot of the letter but of the Spirit; fo r 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 fo rever.

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: John 15:1-8 Leader: This is the Word of the Lord.

People: Thanks be to God. (sp oken)
