        P: God invites us to come into His Presence and worship Him with humble and   

        penitent hearts. Therefore, let us confess our sinfulness and seek His

        forgiveness at the foot of the cross of Christ.

        C: Holy and merciful Father, I confess that I am by nature sinful, and

that I have disobeyed You in my thoughts,words and actions. I have done

what is evil and failed to do what is good. For this I deserve Your punish-

ment both now and in eternity. But I am truly sorry for my sins, and

trusting in my Savior, Jesus Christ, I pray: Lord have mercy on me, a

sinner.

        P: God,our heavenly Father, has been merciful to us and has given His only Son

        to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Therefore, as a called servant of

        Christ and by His authority, I forgive you all your sins in the name of the

        Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

      be: world without end. Amen. Hallelujah!

                                              The Apostles Creed

                 I believe in God the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; And in

Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,

born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,dead and buried; He descended into hell; The third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father

almighty; From thence He shall come to judge the quick & the dead. I believe

 in the Holy Ghost, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.

Amen.

                       Hymn 507 – “Spread, O Spread, Thou Mighty Word”                   

       The Sermon ………………………………………………………………….. Luke 10 : 1 – 9

           After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent

them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Him-

self was about to go. Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but

the laborers are few; Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. Go your way; Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. Carry neither money bag, sack nor sandals, and greet no

one along the road. But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; If not, it

will return to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of  his wages. Do not go from house to house. Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such

things as are set before you. And heal the sick who are there, and say to

        them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.”

     PRAY  THE  LORD  OF  THE  HARVEST  TO

SEND  FORTH  LABORERS  INTO  THE  HARVEST
