The Fifth Sunday after Pentecost June 24, 2018
8:00am
Hymn of Invocation: “Evening and Morning” LSB 726 Stand
Confession and Absolution The sign of the cross may be made by all in remembrance of their baptism. P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen. P Our help is in the name of the Lord, C who made heaven and earth. P If You, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? C But with You there is forgiveness; therefore You are feared. P Since we are gathered to hear God’s Word, call upon Him in prayer and praise, and receive the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ in the fellowship of this altar, let us first consider our unworthiness and confess before God and one another that we have sinned in thought, word, and deed, and that we cannot free ourselves from our sinful condition. Together as His people let us take refuge in the infinite mercy of God, our heavenly Father, seeking His grace for the sake of Christ, and saying: God, be merciful to me, a sinner. C Almighty God, have mercy upon us, forgive us our sins, and lead us to everlasting life. Amen. P Almighty God, merciful Father, in Holy Baptism You declared us to be Your children and gathered us into Your one, holy Church, in which You daily and richly forgive us our sins and grant us new life through Your Spirit. Be in our midst, enliven our faith, and graciously receive our prayer and praise; through Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. C Amen. 2
Service of the Word Kyrie
Gloria in Excelsis
Salutation and Collect of the Day P The Lord be with you. C And also with you. 3
P Let us pray. Almighty God, in Your mercy guide the course of this world so that Your Church may joyfully serve You in godly peace and quietness; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C Amen. Sit Old Testament Reading 1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said: 2 3
“Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me.
“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. 5 Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? 6 On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, 7 when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 4
“Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb, 9 when I made clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band, 10 and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors, 11 and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed’? 8
A This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God.

Job 38:1–11
Hymn: “I Leave All Things to God’s Direction” LSB 719 Psalm
Psalm 124 (antiphon: v. 8) P Our help is in the name of the LORD, C who made heaven and earth. P C P C P C P C P C P C P C P C
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side— let Israel now say— if it had not been the LORD who was on our side when people rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; then over us would have gone the raging waters. Blessèd be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth! We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
ALL: Glory be 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. P Our help is in the name of the LORD, C who made heaven and earth. Epistle
2 Corinthians 6:1–13 Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 3We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, 4but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in 1
5
afflictions, hardships, calamities, 5beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; 6by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love; 7by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; 8through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; 9as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed; 10as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything. 11 We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide open. 12You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections. 13In return (I speak as to children) widen your hearts also. A This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. Stand Alleluia and Verse

Holy Gospel P The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark, the fourth chapter. C Glory to You, O Lord.
Mark 4:35–41
35On
that day, when evening had come, [Jesus] said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” 36And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. 37And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. 38But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” 39And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” 41And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?” P This is the Gospel of the Lord. C Praise to You, O Christ. Apostles' Creed C 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 Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, 7
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life T everlasting. Amen. Sit Children’s Message Hymn of the Day: “Sing Praise to God, the Highest Good” LSB 819 Sermon Stand Prayer of the Church Sit Offering Closing Prayer P Blessed Lord, You have caused all Holy Scriptures to be written for our learning. Grant that we may so hear them, read, mark, learn and take them to heart that, by the patience and comfort of Your holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, on God, now and forever. C Amen. Benedicamus and Benediction A Let us bless the Lord. C Thanks be to God. P The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you. The Lord look upon you with favor and T give you peace. C Amen. 8

The Genesis Solution Why is understanding and believing the book of Genesis so foundational in recognizing the way our society is today? What happened to our society’s morals, ethics and values? How can they be restored? Join us for our Sunday Bible Studies during the month of July (9:15am in the fellowship hall_ as Pastor Lynn Machula guides us through The Genesis Solution – a book by Ken Ham and Paul Taylor, Baker Book House, 1988.

Lutheran Night at the Minnesota Twins! Join us for our annual Lutheran Night at the Twins baseball outing on Tuesday, July 31st, with the Twins playing the Cleveland Indians! Based on feedback from previous years, a little more expensive tickets have been ordered for better seating. Seats are in Section 128, just above left field fence. Your $40 ticket includes your ticket to the game, hot dogs and chips served at the church at 4:45pm, along with your bus ride leaving the church at 5:15pm and dropping you off right at Target Field and bringing you back to Holy Cross! A sign-up sheet is in the narthex. Please include your name and number of tickets needed. Payment may be left in the office by July 1st, please. Make your check out to Holy Cross. Sign up now!! Attention all involved in a group, ministry, etc. at Trinity: Please email a synopsis of your group to (
[email protected]) covering group name/title, who, what, where, why, how and leader name(s), email and phone number. We are wanting to get this information archived and available to all at Trinity. One of the results of our THM was that we all really lacked knowledge of several groups in our own church. We want to know more about them. One of the common themes is that we have most of the same people spearheading most of the activities, groups and such at church. WE NEED MORE INVOLVEMENT! We also discussed how to get more involvement as this develops a lot through relationship-building. We are in need of more relationship-building and/or social activities through Trinity that involve
veryone (seniors, youth of all ages, parents, singles, couples, empty-nesters, grandparents...). Being that we have already established a social foundation through Wednesday nights with God's Grub, Advent and Lenten suppers, confirmation and music we've decided that we need to build off of this in a bold way! We are hoping to have these bloomed ideas in motion by this-coming fall. With that said, we (ALL of us) need to roll up our sleeves and put in some elbow grease over the summer. In the meantime: Adults, please start engaging with our youth. Strike up a conversation... ask them what school they attend, what grade they're in. Ask them to join us for bible study, cooking in the kitchen, cleaning, setting up, greeting, handing out bulletins, etc. Members, we need to engage more with visitors, new members and those who may be struggling. Please make a strong effort each week by stepping a bit outside your box to say "hi" and introduce yourself to someone you don't know yet. The new Church Properties Committee met for the first time on May 29th. Members of the committee are Russell Kath, Arden Holzheimer, Connie Mooney, Sandy Molitor, John Nack, Joe Meierhofer and Randy Heyne. The meeting included a devotion, introductions and a review of the board objectives. They are planning to meet again on June 25th at 7:00pm to continue their work of maintaining our church. Thank the Lord for these willing servants who stepped forward to serve on the new committee.
