PRELUDE
* CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
P Blessed be the holy Trinity, ☩ one God, the strength of our ancestors, the host of this meal, the builder of the city that is to come.
C Amen.
P If we have died with Christ, we will also live with Christ. Let us confess our sin to the one who is faithful.
God our helper,
C we confess the many ways we have failed to live as your disciples. We have not finished what we began. We have feasted with friends but ignored strangers. We have been captivated by our possessions. Lift our burdens, gracious God. Refresh our hearts and forgive our sin. Raise us to the new life you have chosen for us in Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
P There is rejoicing in heaven when sinners repent. Put your trust in these promises: God will never leave you or forsake you. You who were lost have been found. For the sake of ☩ Jesus Christ, your sins are forgiven. Rejoice with the angels at this good news.
C Amen.
* OPENING HYMN Baptized and Set Free
Hymn #453
* GREETING
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.
* PRAYER OF THE DAY
P Let us pray. Almighty and most merciful God, your bountiful goodness fills all creation. Keep us safe from all that may hurt us, that, whole and well in body and spirit, we may with grateful hearts accomplish all that you would have us do, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
C Amen.

Word
FIRST READING
L A reading from 2 Kings.
5:1 Naaman,
commander of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man and in high favor
with his master, because by him the Lord had given victory to Aram. The man,
though a mighty warrior, suffered from leprosy. 2Now the Arameans on
one of their raids had taken a young girl captive from the land of Israel, and
she served Naaman’s wife. 3She said to her mistress, “If only my
lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his
leprosy.” 7When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his
clothes and said, “Am I God, to give death or life, that this man sends word to
me to cure a man of his leprosy? Just look and see how he is trying to pick a
quarrel with me.”
8But when Elisha the man of God heard that the king
of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent a message to the king, “Why have you
torn your clothes? Let him come to me, that he may learn that there is a
prophet in Israel.” 9So Naaman came with his horses and chariots,
and halted at the entrance of Elisha’s house. 10Elisha sent a
messenger to him, saying, “Go, wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh
shall be restored and you shall be clean.” 11But Naaman became angry
and went away, saying, “I thought that for me he would surely come out, and
stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and would wave his hand over
the spot, and cure the leprosy! 12Are not Abana and Pharpar, the
rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in
them, and be clean?” He turned and went away in a rage. 13But his
servants approached and said to him, “Father, if the prophet had commanded you
to do something difficult, would you not have done it? How much more, when all
he said to you was, ‘Wash, and be clean’?” 14So he went down and
immersed himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of
God; his flesh was restored like the flesh of a young boy, and he was clean.
15a-cThen he returned to the man of God, he and all
his company; he came and stood before him and said, “Now I know that there is
no God in all the earth except in Israel.”
L Word of God, word of life.
C Thanks be to God.
PSALM
L Let us pray Psalm 111 responsively.
1Hallelujah!
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the assembly of the upright, in the congregation.
2Great are your works, O Lord,
pondered
by all who delight in them.
3Majesty and splendor mark your
deeds,
and your righteousness endures forever.
4You cause your wonders to be remembered;
you
are gracious and full of compassion.
5You give food to those who fear
you,
remembering forever your covenant.
6You have shown your people the power of your
works
in
giving them the lands of the nations.
7The works of your hands are
faithfulness and justice;
all of your precepts are sure.
8They stand fast forever and ever,
because
they are done in truth and equity.
9You sent redemption to your people
and commanded your covenant forever;
holy and awesome is your name.
10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all
who practice this have a good understanding.
God’s praise endures forever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
SECOND READING
L A reading from 2 Timothy.
2:8 Remember
Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David-that is my gospel, 9for
which I suffer hardship, even to the point of being chained like a criminal.
But the word of God is not chained. 10Therefore I endure everything
for the sake of the elect, so that they may also obtain the salvation that is
in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. 11The saying is sure:
If we have died with him, we will also live with him;
12if we endure, we will also reign with him;
if we deny him, he will also deny us;
13if we are faithless, he remains faithful-
for he cannot deny himself.
14Remind them of this, and warn them before God that
they are to avoid wrangling over words, which does no good but only ruins those
who are listening. 15Do your best to present yourself to God as one
approved by him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the
word of truth.
L Word of God, word of life.
C Thanks be to God.
* GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
* GOSPEL READING
P The Holy Gospel according
to Luke.
C Glory to you, O Lord.
17:11 On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee. 12As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, 13they called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were made clean. 15Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. 16He prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. 17Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? 18Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19Then he said to him, “Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well.”
P The Gospel of the Lord.
C Praise
to you, O Christ.
* HYMN OF THE DAY The Peace of the Lord
Hymn #646
* APOSTLES’ CREED
C I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come 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.
* PRAYERS After each petition, D … Lord, in your mercy,
C hear our prayer.
* PEACE
P The
peace of Christ be with you always.
C And
also with you.
D Let us exchange a sign of God’s peace.

OFFERING Have You Thanked the Lord? St. Peter’s Choir
Please stand as the ushers bring the gifts to the Altar
Let the Vineyard Be Fruitful
* GREAT THANKSGIVING
P It is indeed right, our duty and our joy, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks and praise to you, almighty and merciful God, through our Savior Jesus Christ; who on this day overcame death and the grave, and by his glorious resurrection opened to us the way of everlasting life. And so, with all the choirs of angels, with the church on earth and the hosts of heaven, we praise your name and join their unending hymn:
* HOLY, HOLY, HOLY
* THANKSGIVING AT THE TABLE
P Holy God,
our Bread of life, our Table, and our Food,
you created a world in which all might be satisfied by your abundance.
You dined with Abraham and Sarah, promising them life,
and fed your people Israel with manna from heaven.
You sent your Son to eat with sinners
and to become food for the world.
In the night in which he was betrayed,
our Lord Jesus took bread, and gave thanks;
broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take and eat; this is my body, given for you.
Do this for the remembrance of me.
Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks,
and gave it for all to drink, saying:
This cup is the new covenant in my blood,
shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin.
Do this for the remembrance of me.
Remembering, therefore, his life given for us
and his rising from the grave,
we await his coming again to share with us the everlasting feast.
By your Spirit nurture and sustain us with this meal:
strengthen us to serve all in hunger and want,
and by this bread and cup make of us the body of your Son.
Through him all glory and honor is yours,
Almighty Father, with the Holy Spirit,
in your holy Church, both now and forever.
C Amen.
* THE LORD’S PRAYER
C Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.
COMMUNION CHRIST BIDS YOU WELCOME TO THIS HOLY MEAL!
All baptized Christians are invited to receive communion. Receive the bread then dip it into the cup. The first cup is red wine; the second cup is white grape juice. For those unable to partake of wheaten bread, a rice wafer is available.
