    SUNDAY, AUGUST 9, 2020 – 8:30 AM

    GATHERING TOGETHER
    Welcome to God’s grace – where the world’s labels don’t apply.

    Step into God’s time and presence. Hear God’s gentle whisper: “Be still and know that I am God.”
    Let your body and mind rest, and open your heart to God in worship and prayer. Welcome each
    other in the love of Christ. Extend hospitality to those new in our midst. “This is the day the Lord has
    made. Let us rejoice in it!”

    GATHERING MUSIC & RINGING OF THE BELL


    TODAY’S WORSHIP THEME
    Elijah finds the presence of God not in earthquake, wind, or fire, but in the
    sound of sheer silence. When the disciples face a great storm on the sea,
    they cry out with fear. Jesus says: “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.”
    Amid the storms of life, we gather to seek the calm presence of Christ that
    soothes our fears. In comforting words of scripture and in the refreshing
    bread and cup of the eucharist, God grants us peace and sends us forth to
    be a sign of God’s presence to others.
    CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
    Blessed be the holy Trinity, +one God, whose steadfast love is everlasting,
    whose faithfulness endures from generation to generation. Amen
    Trusting in the mercy of God, let us confess our sin.
    Silence is kept for reflection.
    Reconciling God,
    We confess that we do not trust your abundance, and we deny your
    presence in our lives. We place our hope in ourselves and rely on our
    own efforts. We fail to believe that you provide enough for all. We
    abuse your good creation for our own benefit. We fear difference and
    do not welcome others as you have welcomed us. We sin in thought,
    word, and deed. By your grace, forgive us; through your love, renew
    us; and in your Spirit, lead us; so that we may live and serve you in
    newness of life. Amen
    Beloved of God, by the radical abundance of divine mercy we have peace
    with God through +Christ Jesus, through whom we have obtained grace
    upon grace. Our sins are forgiven. Let us live now in hope. For hope does
    not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through
    the Holy Spirit. Amen

    HYMN OF THE DAY ELW #400 “God of Tempest, God of Whirlwind” vs 1,3,4
    4
    APOSTLES’ CREED
    There is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. United in Christ, let us
    confess the faith we hold in common.
    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
    Confident of your care and helped by the Holy Spirit, we pray for the
    church, the world, and all who are in need.
    A brief silence
    For your whole church throughout the world. Give courage in the midst of
    storms, so that we see and hear Jesus calling: “Take heart, it is I: do not be
    afraid.” May we follow Christ wherever he leads. Lord, in your mercy, hear
    our prayer.
    For the well-being of your creation. Protect waterways, forests, lands, and
    wildlife from exploitation and abuse. Help the human family endeavor to
    sustain and be sustained by the resources of your hand. Lord, in your
    mercy, hear our prayer.
    For the nations and their leaders. In you, steadfast love and faithfulness
    meet, and righteousness and peace kiss. May nations in conflict know the
    peace that is the fruit of justice, and the justice that is the path to peace.
    Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
    For those in need. Everyone who calls upon your name will be saved.
    Accompany all who are lonely, hear the voices of those who cry out in
    anguish, and support those who are frustrated in their search for an
    affordable place to live. We pray for those suffering this day. Lord, in your
    mercy, hear our prayer.
    For our congregation. You have gathered us here today as your people and
    we thank you for this gift. We pray for those who are new to this
    community, for students and teachers preparing for a new school year, and
    for those struggling with unexpected hardship. Supply us generously with
    your grace for our life together. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
    In the certain hope that nothing can separate us from your love, we offer
    these prayers to you: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

    SHARING OF THE PEACE
    The peace of the Lord be with you always.
    And also with you.
    We invite you to greet one another in the name of the Lord and share the gift of his peace.
    STAND

    OFFERING PRAYER
    God of goodness and growth,
    All creation is yours, and your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.
    Water and word, wine and bread: these are signs of your abundant
    grace. Nourish us through these gifts, that we might proclaim your
    steadfast love in our communities and in the world, through Jesus
    Christ, our strength and our song. Amen

    ACCLAMATION OF FAITH
    Together we acclaim our faith:
    Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again!
    THE LORD’S PRAYER
    Gathered into one by the Holy Spirit, let us pray as Jesus taught us.
    Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be 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,
    forever and ever. Amen
