Welcome Easter 6 ~ May 17, 2020
Come, let us worship God who calls us and gives us life!
Easter Proclamation
Alleluia! Christ is Risen! Christ is Risen, indeed! Alleluia!
Hymn: What Wondrous Love is This
(ELW 666 vs. 1, 3, 4)
1. What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul! What wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this that cause the Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, to bear the dreadful cures for my soul?
3. To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing; to God and to the lamb. I will sing; to God and to the lamb, who is the great I AM, while millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing, while millions join the theme, I will sing.
4. And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on; and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on; and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing God’s love for me, and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on, and through eternity I’ll sing on.
Prayer of the Day
Let us pray: Loving God, you know we love you and yet our love is not like yours. We repeatedly fail to love as you love us, and disregard the needs of others. Help us to love more fully and completely. In Jesus’ name. Amen
Gospel Matthew 28:16-20
Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Word of God. Word of Life.
Alleluia! Christ is risen! Christ is risen, indeed! Alleluia!
Message
Thanksgiving for Baptism:
The Lord be with you. And also with you.
Together we pray. Great are you, O God. For you have chosen water to give life and water to preserve it. In the beginning you separated chaos from creation and land from sea. But you sent rain to care for grain grown in the ground.
Great are you, O God.
When the Israelites ran from slavery, the Red Sea blocked them like a prison door; but you turned the sea into salvation. When disease ate the flesh of the warrior Naaman, you used gentle water and a word to cleanse him.
Great are you, O God.
You washed the feet of your friends, when nobody else respected them. You made mud in your hand to open the eyes of a man nobody noticed. You chose to speak to a woman who chose the loneliest hour to visit the well; and you gave her a thirst for your unquenchable promise. Great are you, O God.
When we despise the water that floods farmland and house; when we beg for water as the ground cracks; when we fear the disease spread by the vapor we breathe— You are still great, because you have made water the agent of healing and hope. Great are you, O God. Amen.
Now, take your dish in your hands as we bless the waters we share.
God of Love, all water is a sign of the goodness you create: the rivers that flow; the waters that pool beneath the ground; and oceans that ring our planet; the water that fills our skin, our blood, our bones. Bless this water we have gathered as a sign of your blessing, for this water binds us to your promise, your eternal word; it is the wellspring of love for the world you have made.
You, O God, pour out salvation. You refresh the weary. You died and rose again that we might have life abundantly. Your light shines and the darkness cannot overcome it. You hold us tight in the promise of your creative love. Amen
Wherever you are, use this water to mark the sign of the cross on your forehead and say, “I am a beloved child, created in the image of God.” “I am marked with the cross of Christ forever.” “The breath of the Spirit is my breath.”
Amen
Alleluia! Christ is risen! Christ is risen, indeed! Alleluia!
Hymn: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling (ELW 631 vs 1, 3, 4)
1.Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heav’n to earth come down! Fix in us thy humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, thou are all compassion, pure, unbounded love thou art; visit us with thy salvation, enter ev’ry trembling heart.
3. Come, Almighty, to deliver; let us all thy life receive; suddenly return, and never, never more thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above, pray, and praise thee without ceasing, glory in they perfect love.
4. Finish then they new creation, pure and spotless let us be; let us see thy great salvation perfectly restored in thee! Changed from glory into glory, til in heav’n we take our place, til we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love and peace!
Prayers of Intercession
In the promised hope of healing and resurrection, we join the people of God in all times and places in praying for the church, the world, and all in need.
God of community, you form us as your church. Guide our bishops, pastors, deacons, and all the baptized in sharing your life-giving good news with all the world. Strengthen us to be gentle with ourselves and bold in our proclamation. Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
God of creation, you called everything into being. Sustain this broken world with your renewing care. Inspire us to see waterways, plant life, birds, fish, insects, and mammals, that we might call them good, and be renewed in your creating powers. Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
God of counsel, all authority belongs to you. Encourage the leaders of this and every land to seek peace, equality, and unity. Instill wisdom in advocates who work toward justice in ignored and oppressed communities. Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
God of care, you created us in your image. Help us see your likeness in one another, and attend to all who face oppression and suffering. Console, heal, and nourish us all in these trying times of uncertainty, fear, and grief, as we pray for all in need especially … Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
God of companionship, you accompany this body of faith, as we worship in many places. You remained with your people as we’ve wandered the wilderness, through wars, epidemics, and pandemics in the past. Help us to feel your presence and love among and within us, knowing we are united in you. Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
God of compassion, fill us with your comfort in our grief, and instill within us the promise of the resurrection. We give you thanks for the saints of all time and in our lives. Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
Receive these prayers, O God, and those too deep for words; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Peace
The Peace of the living Christ be with you always, And also with you!
Lord's Prayer
Jesus remember us in your kingdom and teach us to pray:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen
