Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.DevotionThe Responsory (p. 108)The Collect (p. 108)The Canticle (p. 108)Hymn 283 - Glory Be To Jesus, Who in Bitter Pains (View)PostludeService Participants: Chaplain Don Moldstad (Preacher), Laura Matzke (Organist)...more27minPlay

March 25, 2024Chapel - Monday, March 25, 2024Order of Service:PreludeHymn 268 - On Mary, Virgin Undefiled (View): vv. 1 - 4Luke 1:26-38: Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible.” Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.DevotionPrayer #50, p. 153Hymn 268 - On Mary, Virgin Undefiled (View): vv. 5, 6BlessingPostludeService Participants: Rev.

March 22, 2024Chapel - Friday, March 22, 2024Order of Service:PreludeThe Second Article: Redemption (p. 32): And in Jesus Christ, His 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 into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. What does this mean? I believe that Jesus Christ, true God, begotten of the Father from eternity, and also true man, born of the Virgin Mary, is my Lord, who has redeemed me, a lost and condemned person, purchased and won me from all sins, from death, and from the power of the devil; not with gold or silver, but with His holy, precious blood and with His innocent suffering and death, that I may be His own and live under Him in His kingdom and serve Him in everlasting righteousness, innocence, and blessedness, just as He is risen from the dead, lives and reigns to all eternity. This is most certainly true.Hymn 8 - Christ is Made the Sure Foundation (View)Ephesians 1:22-23: And He (God the Father) put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.DevotionPrayerHymn 35 - All Glory Be To God On High (View)BlessingPostludeService Participants: Chaplain Don Moldstad (Preacher), Davis Smith (Organist)...more25minPlay
March 21, 2024Chapel - Thursday, March 21, 2024Order of Service:PreludeAnnouncementHymn 272 - O Sinner, Come Thy Sin To Mourn (View)1 Samuel 2:1-10: And Hannah prayed and said: “My heart rejoices in the Lord; My horn is exalted in the Lord. I smile at my enemies, because I rejoice in Your salvation. No one is holy like the Lord, for there is none besides You, nor is there any rock like our God. Talk no more so very proudly; let no arrogance come from your mouth, for the Lord is the God of knowledge; and by Him actions are weighed. The bows of the mighty men are broken, and those who stumbled are girded with strength. Those who were full have hired them-selves out for bread, and the hungry have ceased to hunger. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children has become feeble. “The Lord kills and makes alive; He brings down to the grave and brings up. The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and lifts up. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the beggar from the ash heap, to set them among princes and make them inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and He has set the world upon them. He will guard the feet of His saints, but the wicked shall be silent in darkness. For by strength no man shall prevail. The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces; from heaven He will thunder against them. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth He will give strength to His king, and exalt the horn of His anointed.”DevotionPrayerHymn 384 - Our Father, Throned in Heav'n Above (View)BlessingPostludeService Participants: Skyler Hepler, Seminary student (Preacher), Rev.

March 20, 2024Lent - Wednesday, March 20, 2024Order of Service:PreludeHymn 285 - Jesus Christ, Our Lord Most Holy (View)The Versicles (pp. 120-121)Hymn 452 - Out of the Depths I Cry To Thee (View): vv. 1 - 3Luke 23:13-25: Then Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, said to them, “You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him; no, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him. I will therefore chastise Him and release Him” (for it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast). And they all cried out at once, saying, “Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas”— who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder. Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them. But they shouted, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!” Then he said to them the third time, “Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go.” But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed. So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested. And he released to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.The Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy) (p. 89)HomilyChoir Canticle: Magnificat, arr. R. Kreutz: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. For He has looked upon His lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His Name. He has mercy on those who fear Him in every generation. He has shown the strength of His arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has come to the help of His servant Israel for He remembered His promise of mercy, The promise He made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.The Kyrie (p. 124)The Lord's Prayer (p. 125)Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord (View)The Collect (pp. 125-127)Hymn 297 - Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted (View)PostludeService Participants: Rev.

For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.DevotionPrayerHymn 276 - When O'er My Sins I Sorrow (View): vv. 3 & 4BlessingPostludeService Participants: Rev.

March 15, 2024Chapel - Friday, March 15, 2024Order of Service:PreludePrayer for Friday Morning, p. 170Hymn 377 - Why Should Cross and Trial Grieve Me? (View): vv. 1, 2, 41 Timothy 6:6-12: Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.DevotionHymn 377 - Why Should Cross and Trial Grieve Me?
