JOINT PARISH WORSHIP
Carpio & Zion Lutheran Churches
PRELUDE Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Anniversary to you.
WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS May the Lord Jesus keep you,
Ever faithful and true.
CONFESSION & FORGIVENESS OF SINS:
P. God of all mercy and consolation, come to the help of your people, turning us from our sin to lice for you alone. Give us the power to your Holy Spirit that we may confess our sins, receive your forgiveness, and grow into the fullness of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
C. Amen!
P. Let us confess our sins in the presence of God and of one another.
Most merciful God,
C. 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!
P. 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 unto you the entire forgiveness of all your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
C. Amen!
CONGREGATIONAL HYMN: “Take My Life, That I May Be” #685
1. Take my life, that I may be consecrated, Lord, to thee;
Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.
5. Take my will and make it thine; it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is thine own; it shall be thy royal throne.

CONGREGATIONAL HYMN: “Let Us Talents and Tongues Employ” #674
1. Let us talents and tongues employ, reaching out with a shout of joy;

Refrain: Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again,
Pass the Word around: Loaves abound!
Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again,
Pass the Word around: Loaves abound!
3. Jesus calls us in, sends us out bearing fruit in a world of doubt,
Gives us love to tell, bread to share: God (Immanuel) everywhere!
Refrain:
THE WORDS OF INSTITUTION:
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.
THE LORD’S PRAYER: Pray Together
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!
EATING THE ELEMENTS:
The body of Christ given for you. EAT THE WAFER
The blood of Christ shed for you. DRINK THE JUICE
THE POST COMMUNION PRAYER:
P. We give you thanks, almighty God, that you have refreshed us through the healing power of this gift of life. In your mercy, strengthen us through this gift, in faith toward you and in fervent love toward one another; for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.
C. Amen!
THE BENEDICTION:
P. The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you.
The Lord look upon you with favor and give you his peace.
C. Amen!
Dismissal: P. Go in peace. Christ is with you.
C. Thanks be to God!
