‘…to proclaim liberty to the captives,

Isaiah 61:1
OPENING MUSIC On Jordan’s Banks the Baptist
Cry

David Cherwien
Please
meditate on the text of the hymn as it is played:
1 On
Jordan’s banks the Baptist’s cry
announces
that the Lord is nigh;
awake
and hearken, for he brings
glad
tidings of the King of kings!
2 Then
cleansed be ev’ry life from sin;
make
straight the way for God within,
and
let us all our hearts prepare
for
Christ to come and enter there.
3 We
hail you as our Savior, Lord,
our
refuge and our great reward;
without
your grace we waste away
like
flow’rs that wither and decay.
4 Stretch
forth your hand, our health restore,
and
make us rise to fall no more;
oh,
let your face upon us shine
and
fill the world with love divine.
5 All
praise to you, eternal Son,
whose
advent has our freedom won,
whom
with the Father we adore,
and
Holy Spirit, evermore.

WELCOME and ANNOUNCEMENTS
In the name of the Father, and of the + Son, and of
the Holy Spirit.
Amen
As the earth brings forth its shoots,
as a garden causes what is sown to spring

we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
For the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ,
forgive us, renew us, and lead us;
restore our fortunes;
fill our mouths with laughter
and our tongues with shouts of joy. Amen
Rejoice
in the Lord, exult in our God:
for
he clothes his people with the garments of salvation,
and
covers them with the robe of righteousness. Isaiah 61:10
As
a called and ordained minister of the Church of Christ,
and

I
declare to you the entire forgiveness of all your sins,

and
of the Holy Spirit.
Amen

that marks our days of preparation
for Christ’s advent.

Almighty God, you once called John the Baptist to
give witness to the coming of your Son and to prepare his way.
Grant us, your people, the wisdom to see your

the openness to hear your will, that we may
witness to Christ’s
coming and so prepare his way;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen
CALL TO
THE WORD
John the Baptist came as a witness to testify to
the light,
that all might believe through him. John 1:7
Let us hear the Word of the Lord.
Sit
First READING Isaiah
61:1-4, 8-11
1The spirit of
the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has anointed
me;
he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed,
to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and release to the prisoners;
2to proclaim the year of the Lord’s
favor,
and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
3to provide for those who mourn in Zion—
to give them a garland instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, to
display his glory.
4They shall
build up the ancient ruins,
they shall raise up the former devastations;
they shall repair the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations.
8For I the Lord love
justice,
I hate robbery and wrongdoing;
I will
faithfully give them their recompense,
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9Their descendants shall be known among the nations,
and their offspring among the peoples;
all who see them shall acknowledge
that they are a people whom the Lord
has blessed.
10I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
my whole being shall exult in my God;
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11For as the earth brings forth its shoots,
and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,
so the Lord God will cause
righteousness and praise
to spring up before all the nations.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
PSALM 126
The psalm is read responsively between the pastor
and the people.
The Lord has done great things for us.
1 When the Lord
restored the for- | tunes of Zion,*
then
were we like | those who dream.
2 Then was our mouth | filled with laughter,*
and
our tongue with | shouts of joy.
3 Then they said a- | mong the nations,*
"The
Lord has done great | things for
them."
4 The Lord
has done great | things for us,*
and
we are | glad indeed.
5 Restore our for- | tunes, O Lord,*
like
the watercourses | of the Negev.
6 Those who | sowed with tears*
will
reap with | songs of joy.
7 Those who go out weeping, carry- | ing the seed,*
will
come again with joy, shoulder- | ing their sheaves.
The Lord has done great things for us.
SECOND READING 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24
16Rejoice
always, 17pray without ceasing, 18give thanks in all
circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19Do
not quench the Spirit. 20Do not despise the words of prophets, 21but
test everything; hold fast to what is good; 22abstain from every
form of evil.
23May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your
spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ. 24The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do
this.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to
God.

VERSE
Alleluia. Behold, I send my messenger
before your face,
who shall prepare your way before you.
Alleluia.
Matthew
11:10
Gospel John
1:6-8, 19-28
The
Holy Gospel according to St. John.
Glory to you, O Lord.
6There was a
man sent from God, whose name was John. 7He came as a witness to
testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. 8He
himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light.
19This is the testimony given by John when the Jews sent priests
and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20He confessed
and did not deny it, but confessed, “I am not the Messiah.” 21And
they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the
prophet?” He answered, “No.” 22Then they said to him, “Who are you?
Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23He
said,
“I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness,
‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ ”
as the prophet Isaiah said.
24Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. 25They
asked him, “Why then are you baptizing if you are neither the Messiah, nor
Elijah, nor the prophet?” 26John answered them, “I baptize with
water. Among you stands one whom you do not know, 27the one who is
coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandal.” 28This
took place in Bethany across the Jordan where John was baptizing.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, O Christ.

SERMON
HYMN OF THE DAY Hail
to the Lord’s Annointed
Please meditate on the text of the hymn as
it is played.
1 Hail to the Lord’s anointed,
great David’s
greater Son!
Hail, in the
time appointed,
his reign on
earth begun!
He comes to
break oppression,
to set the
captive free,
to take away
transgression
and rule in
equity.
2 He comes with
rescue speedy
to those who
suffer wrong,
to help the
poor and needy,
and bid the
weak be strong;
to give them
songs for sighing,
their darkness
turn to light,
whose souls,
condemned and dying,
were precious
in his sight.
3 He shall come
down like showers
upon the
fruitful earth;
and love, joy,
hope, like flowers,
spring in his
path to birth.
Before him on
the mountains
shall peace,
the herald, go;
and
righteousness in fountains
from hill to
valley flow.
4 Kings shall
fall down before him,
and gold and
incense bring;
all nations
shall adore him,
his praise all
people sing.
To him shall
prayer unceasing
and daily vows
ascend;
his kingdom
still increasing,
a kingdom
without end.

CONFESSION OF FAITH
The pastor and people confess the faith of the Church in
the words of the Nicene Creed.
We believe in one God,
the
Father, the Almighty,
maker of
heaven and earth,
of all
that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only
Son of God,
eternally
begotten of the Father,
God from
God, Light from Light,
true God
from true God,
begotten,
not made,
of one
Being with the Father.
Through
him all things were made.
For us
and for our salvation
he
came down from heaven;
by
the power of the Holy Spirit
he
became incarnate from the virgin Mary, and was made man.
For our
sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he
suffered death and was buried.
On the
third day he rose again
in
accordance with the Scriptures;
he
ascended into heaven
and
is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will
come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and
his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who
proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the
Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has
spoken through the prophets.
We
believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We
acknowledge one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look
for the resurrection of the dead,
and the
life of the world to come. Amen
Let us pray for the whole people of God in Christ
Jesus, and for all people according to their needs.
A brief silence is kept.
We rejoice in the Church, for our
Lord comes into our midst and brings us the good news which saves, heals, and
strengthens us. Restore the fortunes of your Church, and fill our mouths with
laughter and our tongues with shouts of joy. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
We rejoice in the Word that brings
us hope and peace. Give all ministers the tongues of teachers, to restore the
weary and to bear witness to the One who is coming. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
We rejoice in the faith family
gathered here and for all who cannot be with us this day. Stir up in us the
Holy Spirit, that we may be sanctified in spirit, soul and body, living the
life of rejoicing, prayer, and thanksgiving. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
We pray without ceasing that you
would make signs of your righteousness and praise to spring up before all the
nations. Especially we ask on behalf of our leaders, that you would give them a
spirit to exercise their offices rightly and responsibly; for you love justice
and hate robbery and wrongdoing. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our
prayer.
We pray without ceasing that you
would continue to bring good news to the oppressed, that you would bind up the
brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives; to provide for all who mourn.
Give them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit. We lift up all for whom we have
been asked to pray:
The
People may offer silent or spoken intercessions and thanksgivings.
Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
We give thanks for all those who
have died trusting in your promises. Cause righteousness and praise to spring
up in us, that we may also be sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Into your hands, Father, we commend all for whom we
pray, trusting in your steadfast love, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
PEACE
The
peace of the Lord be with you always.
And also with you.
The
people exchange a sign of peace with the simple words, Peace be with you.
Sit
Stand
PRAYER OF
PREPARATION
As the grain once scattered
in the fields
and the grapes once dispersed
on the hillside
are reunited on this table in
bread and wine,
so, Lord, may your whole
Church soon be gathered together
from the corners of the earth
into your kingdom.
Amen
GREAT THANKSGIVING
The
Great Thanksgiving begins with the Preface, leading into the Sanctus:
The
Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift
up your hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.
Let
us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give him thanks and praise.
It is
indeed right and salutary that we should at all times and in all places offer
thanks and praise to you, O Lord, holy Father, almighty and ever-living God.
You prepared the way of your Son Jesus Christ by
the preaching of your servant John the Baptist, who proclaimed him as the Lamb
of God, our Savior, in whom we rejoice with an everlasting joy.
And so, with the Church on earth and the
hosts of heaven, we praise your name and join their unending hymn:
Holy, holy, holy LORD, God of power and might!
Heaven and earth are full of your glory;
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the
name of the LORD!
Hosanna in the highest! (Isaiah 6:3, Matthew 21:9)
The pastor leads the people
in praying the Eucharistic canon:
Blessed are you, O Adonai, Most High and Holy God,
for the wonder of your goodness
which creates,
establishes, and permeates
the heavens and the earth.
We praise you for
the promises you made to the Patriarchs,
as you led your chosen people out
of slavery
into the land of
promise,
giving them your Law on Sinai’s
heights.
You promised,
through the prophets,
that the Messiah would come,
the very branch of Jesse –
before whom all nations would
keep silent.
Then, at the
appointed time,
you sent your beloved Son, Jesus
our Emmanuel,
the key of David born of Mary by
the power of the Spirit.
He came to rescue
the uprooted,
to bring life to the lifeless
and voice to
those who were without hope;
on Calvary’s heights gave His
life
to draw all people to Himself
and to your
promise of mercy.
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.
Together, let us
proclaim the mystery of faith:
O Christ, you are the splendor of
life everlasting:
We laud your
death and resurrection,
and await your
return in glory.
Blessed are you,
O Adonai, Lord of might.
You fulfilled your promises
in the death,
resurrection and ascension of your Son,
the King of all nations.
We praise you for
embracing us
as the people who now dwell in
the brightness of His glory.
Send now your
holy and life-giving Spirit
upon this Bread of Life and this
Cup of Salvation,
that we, in this holy communion,
may be united to Him who is our
cornerstone,
the One who gives us His very
body and blood
to sustain us in His forgiving
love.
With all the
people of your promises,
we await our Lord’s final coming
when we will share in that feast
which shall never end.
Amen. Come, O precious Ransom, come!
In the presence of Christ, we pray to his Father
using the words he gave us.
Christ
is in our midst.
By the power of the Spirit,
we pray to his Father, saying:
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 (Matthew 6:9-15)
The body and blood of Jesus Christ our Lord
is good
news for the oppressed;
binding
up for the brokenhearted;
liberty
for the captive;
release
for the prisoners;
the
favor of God for his people.
Thanks be to God.
Isaiah 61:1-2a
We adore Christ with the words of the Agnus Dei
(Lamb of God).
Lamb of God, you take away the
sin of the world;
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the
sin of the world;
have
mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the
sin of the world;
Grant
us peace. (John
1:29, see also Luke 17:13)
DISTRIBUTION
Admission to the Sacrament is by
invitation of the Lord, presented through the Church to those who are baptized.
They may receive the Lord’s Body and Blood who
are baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
who commune in their home churches, and who believe that Jesus Christ,
crucified and risen, is truly present in, with, and under the forms of bread
and wine for the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation.
The
communicants will be invited forward one family unit at a time. Please do not
come forward until the pastor directs you to come forward, do not approach all
the way to the table until the pastor has retreated, and please do not remove your mask until you
have reached the table with the elements on it.
When the pastor says ‘The body of Christ,
given for you,’ eat the bread. When the pastor says, ‘The blood of Christ, shed
for you,’ drink the wine. Please take
the plate and the glass(es) and place them on the table that is indicated.
Please put your mask on before returning to your seat.
Please meditate
on the text of the hymn as it is played.
Hark! A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding!
1 Hark!
A thrilling voice is sounding!
“Christ
is near,” we hear the cry.
“Cast
away the works of darkness,
all
you children of the day!”
2 Startled
at the solemn warning,
let
the earthbound soul arise;
Christ,
its sun, all sloth dispelling,
shines
upon the morning skies.
3 See
the Lamb, so long expected,
comes
with pardon down from heav’n.
Let
us haste, with tears of sorrow,
one
and all, to be forgiv’n;
4 So,
when next he comes in glory
and
the world is wrapped in fear,
he
will shield us with his mercy
and
with words of love draw near.
5 Honor,
glory, might, dominion
to
the Father and the Son
with
the everliving Spirit
while
eternal ages run!
Text: Latin hymn, 1632; tr. Edward
Caswall, 1814-1878, alt.
When all have
received, the congregation stands at the direction of the pastor.
The body and blood of our Lord
Jesus Christ strengthen you and keep you in his grace. Amen
Lord, now you let your servant
go in peace;
your word has been fulfilled.
My own eyes have seen the
salvation
which you have prepared in the
sight of every people:
A light to reveal you to the
nations
and the glory of your people
Israel.
Glory to the Father, and to
the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is
now,
and will be forever. Amen Song
of Simeon (Luke 2:29-32)
