WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
HYMN: Gather Us In……………….Red 532
CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
Psalm 133 How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down upon the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down over the collar of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion. For there the LORD ordained His blessing, life forevermore.
GREETING
KYRIE (Spoken)
HYMN: Jesus, Savior……...Red 755
PRAYER: O God of creation, eternal majesty, You preside over land and sea, sunshine and storm. By Your strength pilot us, by Your power preserve us, by Your wisdom instruct us, and by Your hand protect us, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, Whom with you and the Holy Spirit we worship and praise, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Psalm 107 O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, those He redeemed from trouble and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south… Some went down to the sea in ships… on the mighty waters; Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out from their distress; He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad because they had quiet, and He brought them to their desired haven. Let them thank the LORD for His steadfast love, for His wonderful works to humankind. Let them extol Him in the congregation of the people, and praise Him in the assembly of the elders.
2 Corinthians 6:1-13 As we work together with Him, we urge you also not to accept the grace of God in vain. For He says, "At an acceptable time I have listened to you, and on a day of salvation I have helped you." See, now is the acceptable time; see, now is the day of salvation! We are putting no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, but as servants of God we have commended ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, holiness of spirit, genuine love, truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; as unknown, and yet are well known; as dying, and see--we are alive; as punished, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything. We have spoken frankly to you Corinthians; our heart is wide open to you. There is no restriction in our affections, but only in yours. In return--I speak as to children--open wide your hearts also.
HYMN: When Peace like a River ………………………..Red 785
HOLY GOSPEL Saint Mark 4:35-41 Jesus' calming of the storm on the sea reveals His power over evil, because the sea represents evil and chaos. The boat on the sea is a symbol of the church, and invites us to trust God amid life's turbulence. When evening had come, Jesus said to the disciples, "Let us go across to the other side." And leaving the crowd behind, they took Him with them in the boat, just as He was. Other boats were with Him. A great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped. But He was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him up and said to Him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?" He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?" And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?"
