CHILDREN’S MESSAGE - Joe Zimmerly
BLESSING OF LUTHERAN WORLD RELIEF QUILTS AND CARE KITS
FIRST READING: Isaiah 53�4-12This reading is from the last of four passages in Isaiah that are often called “servant songs.”Christians are probably most familiar with this servant song. In light of Christian faith, theservant’s healing ministry and redemptive suffering are understood to be fulfilled in the life anddeath of Christ.
4Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accountedhim stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. 5But he was wounded for ourtransgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment thatmade us whole, and by his bruises we are healed. 6All we like sheep have goneastray; we have all turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquityof us all.
7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; like alamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,so he did not open his mouth. 8By a perversion of justice he was taken away. Whocould have imagined his future? For he was cut off from the land of the living,stricken for the transgression of my people. 9They made his grave with the wickedand his tomb with the rich, although he had done no violence, and there was nodeceit in his mouth.
10Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with pain. When you make his lifean offering for sin, he shall see his offspring, and shall prolong his days; throughhim the will of the Lord shall prosper. 11Out of his anguish he shall see light; he shallfind satisfaction through his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, shall makemany righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. 12Therefore I will allot him aportion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because hepoured out himself to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet hebore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.L Word of God, word of life.C Thanks be to God.
SONG OF RESPONSE - “On Eagle’s Wings - ELW 787 - Verses 1 and 4
SECOND READING: Hebrews 5�1-10Using imagery from scripture and from Jewish worship practices, Jesus is presented as the greathigh priest who was obedient to God’s saving plan. Through his suffering and death he has becomethe source of eternal salvation.
1Every high priest chosen from among mortals is put in charge of thingspertaining to God on their behalf, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2He is able todeal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is subject toweakness; 3and because of this he must offer sacrifice for his own sins as well asfor those of the people. 4And one does not presume to take this honor, but takes itonly when called by God, just as Aaron was.
5So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but wasappointed by the one who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begottenyou”; 6as he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, according to theorder of Melchizedek.”
7In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loudcries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heardbecause of his reverent submission. 8Although he was a Son, he learned obediencethrough what he suffered; 9and having been made perfect, he became the sourceof eternal salvation for all who obey him, 10having been designated by God a highpriest according to the order of Melchizedek.L Word of God, word of life.C Thanks be to God.
As able, the assembly stands to welcome the Gospel.GOSPEL ACCLAMATION – “Alleluia, Raise the Gospel” (Alstott/Farrell)
GOSPEL: Mark 10�35-45On the way to Jerusalem the disciples ask Jesus to grant them seats of honor. Jesus responds byannouncing that he and his followers will “rule” through self-giving service.
P The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ, according to Mark.C Glory to you, O Lord.
35James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to him,“Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” 36And he said to them,“What is it you want me to do for you?” 37And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, oneat your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.” 38But Jesus said to them,“You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink,or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” 39They replied, “We areable.” Then Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you will drink; and with thebaptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; 40but to sit at my righthand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has beenprepared.”
41When the ten heard this, they began to be angry with James and John. 42SoJesus called them and said to them, “You know that among the Gentiles thosewhom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones aretyrants over them. 43But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes to becomegreat among you must be your servant, 44and whoever wishes to be first amongyou must be slave of all. 45For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve,and to give his life a ransom for many.”
P The Gospel of the Lord.C Praise to you, O Christ.The assembly is seated.
SERMON - Pastor Julie Morris
As able, the assembly stands to proclaim the word of God in song.SONG OF THE DAY - “Will You Let Me Be Your Servant” - ELW 659 - Verses 1 & 2
APOSTLES’ CREED
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 power of 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.

that we should at all times and in all placesgive 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:
P Holy, mighty, and merciful Lord,heaven and earth are full of your glory.In great love you sent to us Jesus, your Son,who reached out to heal the sick and suffering,who preached good news to the poor,and who, on the cross, opened his arms to all.
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 death, resurrection, and ascension,we await his coming in glory.Pour out upon us the Spirit of your love, O Lord,and unite the wills of all who share this heavenly food,the body and blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord;to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit,be all honor and glory, now and forever.
C Amen.
P Gathered into one by the Holy Spirit, let us pray as Jesus taught us.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 thosewho 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.
BREAKING OF THE BREAD

The assembly may be seated.LAMB OF GOD - “Lamb of God” - ELW Setting 4
PRAYER OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION (for our Livestream viewers)A spiritual communion is a personal devotion that anyone can pray at any time to express theirdesire to receive Holy Communion at that moment, but in which circumstances impede them fromactually receiving Holy Communion. As Martin Luther once wrote: “I can enjoy the sacrament …every day if only I keep my eyes on the promise, that is, on the words and promise ofChrist, which feeds and strengthens my faith.”
As we distribute Holy Communion to the congregation here, we invitethose on the livestream to offer the Prayer of Spiritual Communiondisplayed on your screen:
I worship and adore you, Lord Jesus Christ, present in the bread and wine, andpresent in your people, who are gathered in spirit. In this moment I join withthem to receive you in my heart.
(We pause for silent prayer).
Fill us all with your love and grace, and strengthen us to serve the world in yourname. Amen.1
1 Adapted by Pastor Julie from a prayer written by the Anglican Diocese of Niagara.
