PRAYER OF THE DAY:

Almighty God and Father, dwelling in majesty and mystery, filling and renewing all creation by your eternal Spirit, and manifesting your saving grace through our Lord Jesus Christ, in mercy cleanse our hearts and lips that, free from doubt and fear, we may ever worship you, one true, immortal God, with your Son and the Holy Spirit, living and reigning, now and forever. Amen.

FIRST LESSON: Numbers 6:22-27

The triune God has a special blessing for his people.

22 The Lord told Moses 23 to speak to Aaron and to his sons and to tell them to bless the Israelites with these words:

24 The Lord bless you and keep you.

25 The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. 26 The Lord look on you with favor and give you peace.

27 In this way they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.

P: The Word of the Lord.

C: Thanks be to God.

PSALM 8

O LORD, our Lord, how glorious is your name in all the eart.

SECOND LESSON: 2 Corinthians 13:11-14

By sharing his grace, love, and fellowship, the triune God gives us unity and peace.

11 Finally, brothers, rejoice. Set things in order. Be encouraged. Agree with one another. Be at peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. 12 Greet one another with a holy kiss. 13 All the saints greet you. 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

P: The Word of the Lord.

C: Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL: Matthew 28:16-20

Jesus calls us to do ministry in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

16 The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them. 17When they saw him, they worshipped him, but some hesitated because they were uncertain 18 Jesus approached and spoke to them saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and gather disciples from all nations by baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and by teaching them to keep all the instructions I have given you. And surely I am with you always until the end of the age.”

P: The Gospel of the Lord.

NOTE: St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church believes that partici-pation in the Lord's Supper is both a confession of faith and an expression of our unity in that faith. When you commune with us you are saying that you agree with the Biblical teachings about the Lord's Supper and all the other teachings of the Bible. If you have never communed with us before, we ask that you speak with Pastor Himm to learn how you can establish a communing fellowship with us. We are eager for you to receive the Lord’s Supper.

BLESSING: C: Amen.
