PRELUDE “Down to the River to Pray” arr. Mark Hayes Ben Krueger-Blehm
CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
En el nombre del Padre, y del ☩ Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo. Amén
In the name of the Father,
and of the ☩ Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
God of all mercy and consolation, come to the help of your people, turning us from our sin to live for you alone. Give us the power of your Holy Spirit that we may confess our sin, receive your forgiveness, and grow into the fullness of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.
Silence for reflection and self-examination.
Most merciful God, we confess that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves. We have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name. Amen.
In the mercy of almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for us, and for his sake God forgives us all our sins. As a called and ordained minister of the church of Christ, and by his authority, I therefore declare to you the entire forgiveness of all your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the
☩ Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

READINGS FROM HOLY SCRIPTURE
FIRST READING Wisdom of Solomon 6:12-20 12Wisdom is radiant and unfading, and she is easily discerned by those who love her, and is found by those who seek her. 13She hastens to make herself known to those who desire her. 14One who rises early to seek her will have no difficulty, for she will be found sitting at the gate. 15To fix one’s thought on her is perfect understanding, and one who is vigilant on her account will soon be free from care, 16because she goes about seeking those worthy of her, and she graciously appears to them in their paths, and meets them in every thought. 17The beginning of wisdom is the most sincere desire for instruction, and concern for instruction is love of wisdom, 18and love of wisdom is the keeping of wise laws, and giving heed to wise laws is assurance of immortality, 19and immortality brings one near to God; 20so the desire for wisdom leads to a kingdom.
SECOND READING 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 13We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died. 15For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. 16For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever. 18Therefore encourage one another with these words.
Word of God, Word of life. Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Sung by congregation
Children preschool – 6th grade dismissed
P El Santo Evangelio según Mateo, capítulo veinticinco.
P The Holy Gospel according to Matthew, the 25th chapter. C Glory to you, O Lord. (¡Gloria a ti, oh Señor!)
HOLY GOSPEL Matthew 25:1-13 [Jesus said to the disciples:] 1“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; 4but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5As the bridegroom was delayed, all of them became drowsy and slept. 6But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Look! Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7Then all those bridesmaids got up and trimmed their lamps. 8The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9But the wise replied, ‘No! there will not be enough for you and for us; you had better go to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ 10And while they went to buy it, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went with him into the wedding banquet; and the door was shut. 11Later the other bridesmaids came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ 12But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’ 13Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

HYMN OF THE DAY ELW No. 638
APOSTLES’ CREED With the whole church, let us confess our faith. 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 OF INTERCESSION A Welcoming God’s reign of righteousness and mercy, let us pray with people of every time and
place. A brief silence. A Awaken your church to be ready to respond when Christ meets us in the cries of those in need.
We lift up the church’s mission of care through Lutheran World Relief and other agencies. Lord, in your mercy,
C hear our prayer. A We give thanks for natural resources like oil, coal, trees, sun, water, and wind. Help us to use
them wisely. Lord, in your mercy, C hear our prayer. A Answer the cries of your people in nations caught in war and destruction. Hold in your care all

faithful who have died. Thank you for their lives of witness. Lord, in your mercy, C hear our prayer. P Receive these prayers and the hopes and concerns of our hearts, O God, as we entrust into
your loving care all for whom we pray, through Jesus Christ our Lord. C Amen. SHARING OF THE PEACE
