MARTIN LUTHER COLLEGE

MARTIN LUTHER COLLEGE, New Ulm, Minnesota

To the glory of God and for the good of his Church!

Dear sisters and brothers in our risen Lord Jesus!

Welcome to Commencement at Martin Luther College. As at other colleges, you will see graduates and gowns, faculties and flowers, diplomas and dignitaries. But look more closely at these graduates, and you will see the glory of God on display!

As we worship today, each graduate confesses, I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Each believe, We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. Each recognizes that a diploma brings the Lord glory,Jor it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

Each has been touched by the Spirit with a desire to serve. Whether they receive an assignment today, continue their training at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, teach overseas, enter a different vocation or college, or prayerfully wait on the Lord, they see their lives as , opportunities to share the good news they've been given, as Christ says: You are my witnesses. These graduates are gifts of God to his people, and he will certainly use them and the training they have received for the good of his Church.

Thank you for the prayers and encouragement you have offered to our graduates. May our dear Savior Jesus walk with them as they carry the Word to the world. May he walk with all ofus as we live in the light of his grace, to his glory, and for the good of his Church!

In our ascended Lord Christ,

rl~ ~-~ · President Mark dJzarl~

*** Mission of Martin Luther College

The mission of Martin Luther College is to train a corps of Christian witnesses who are qualified to meet the ministry needs of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) and who are competent to proclaim the Word of God faithfully and in accord with the Lutheran Confessions in the Book of Concord.

To meet the current ministry needs of the WELS, Martin Luther College • Prepares men for pastoral training at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary; • Prepares men and women for service as teachers and staff ministers in the synod 's churches, schools, and other institutions; • Prepares men and women for other church ministries, both full and part-time, responding to the needs of the WELS; • Prepares international students for ministry in partnership with WELS mission fields; and • Provides programs of continuing education that meet the ministerial needs of the WELS.

To the glory of God and for the good of his Church Explanation of attire Welcome to the 2013 Commencement Service at Martin Luther College. You will see graduates with a Bachelor of Science in Education degree, others with a Bachelor of Arts degree, and still others with a Master of Science in Education degree. This year, though not all are able to be present today, eleven individuals have completed the MLC masters program and comprise its sixth graduating class.

Academic apparel worn by faculty and graduates in any college setting has its origins in the Middle Ages. Because most universities grew out of church schools, both faculty and students wore clothing that was based upon monastic dress and that reflected the need for warmth in the unheated stone colleges.

Wearing of such apparel is an adiaphoron, something neither commanded nor forbidden by our Lord in his Word. In Christian freedom we can choose to follow such academic traditions or not.

In this 2013 Commencement, the MLC faculties will visibly demonstrate that freedom: Our graduate faculty has chosen to wear academic apparel, and our undergraduate faculty has chosen not to.

By a miracle of the Holy Spirit, professors in both faculties have humbly submitted their lives and their educational achievements to Christ for the advancement of his kingdom. Although they no doubt could gamer more reputation and remuneration in public settings, they have given their time and talents to train students at MLC for gospel service, to the glory of God and for the good of his Church. They have servant hearts.

Though 90 percent of them have advanced degrees, the undergraduate faculty wears normal attire to emphasize that we train students not just for academic achievement but for ministry. The graduate faculty wears apparel that emphasizes lifelong learning, done to God's glory and in submission to the gospel we proclaim.

For our baccalaureate graduates, the color of the tassel indicates the field of study: light blue indicates a Bachelor of Science in Education; red and black indicates a Bachelor of Arts degree.

The hood is worn by our master's graduates. The colors indicate the area of study and the colors of MLC. The graduate faculty wears apparel with colors that indicate not only area of study but also the degree-granting institution.

God has given these gifts to us, to his glory and for the good of the church. SDG

Sermon: Go in the Peace of His Presence!

Moses said to the Lord, "You have been telling me, 'Lead these people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, 'I know you by name and you have found favor with me.' If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you . Reme mber that this nation is your people."

The Lord replied, "My Presence will go with you, and l will give you rest."

Then Moses said to him, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other peopl e on the face of the earth?"

And the Lord said to Moses, "I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name ." (Exodus 33 : 12-17)

Neither Death nor Life

Text based on John 10 and Romans 8:38-39 by H. Stephen Shoemaker Music by Jonathan Crutchfield

When we lose our hold, we are held; held in the everla sting arms.

My sheep hear my voice and they know me, and they follow me and I give them eternal life. And they shall not die forever.

For I am sure that neither death nor life will ever, nor things to come, nor mighty powe rs, nor height nor depth will ever separate us from the love of God. No one will snatch them from my hand. My sheep hear my voice, and T know them When we lose our hold, we are held; held in the everla sting arms.

Address: John 14:25-26

Lord God, You Have Called Your Servants

Music by Aaron McDermid

Lord God, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending; by paths as yet untrod, through perils unknown.

Give us faith to go out with courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Reading of Assignments Benediction Leader:

The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.

The Lord look on you with favor and give you peace.

People: Amen. Amen. Amen. (sung)

God's Word Is Our Great Heritage God's Word is our great heritage And shall be ours forever; To spread its light from age to age Shall be our chief endeavor.

Through life it guides our way; In death it is our stay.

Lord, grant while worlds endure, We keep its teachings pure Throughout all generations. Amen.

Almighty God, who by your Son Jesus Christ, gave command to the apostles that they should go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature: grant to us whom you have called into your church a ready will to obey your Word, and fill us with a hearty desire to make your way known upon earth, your saving health among all nations. Look with compassion upon the multitudes that are scattered as sheep having no shepherd. 0 heavenly Father, Lord of the harvest, have respect, we beseech you, to our prayers, and send forth laborers into your harvest. Fit and prepare them by your grace for the work of the ministry; give them the Spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind; strengthen them to endure hardness and grant that your Holy Spirit may prosper their work, and they by their life and doctrine may show forth your glory, and set forward the salvation of all people; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
