The Ringing of the Bells and The Welcome
Opening Hymn: “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee” (#803)
Joyful, joyful we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love!
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee,
praising thee, their sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the doom of doubt away.
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day.
All thy works with joy surround thee,
earth and heaven reflect thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around thee, center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in thee.
Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living, ocean-depth of happy rest!
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, fountainhead of love divine;
Joyful, we thy heaven inherit! Joyful, we by grace are Thine!
Invocation

(Moment of Silent Prayer) (Momento de Oración Personal)
Pastor: If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
People: But if we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.
Pastor: Let us then confess our sins to God:
People: Most merciful God, we confess that we are by nature sinful and unclean. 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.
Pastor: Almighty God in His mercy has given His Son to die for you and for His sake forgives you all your sins. As a called and ordained servant of Christ, and by His authority, I therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
People: Amen.
The Prayer of the Day
Almighty God, through your Son you have revealed your mercy to a broken world. Enable us by your Spirit to live in your grace, to grow in our faith, and to be sharers of your merciful love to all who desperately need it, through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord. Amen
Scripture Readings (After each reading:)
Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God!
Isaiah 56:1, 6-8
1 The Lord says to his people, “Do what is just and right, for soon I will save you.”... 6 And the Lord says to those foreigners who become part of his people, who love him and serve him, who observe the Sabbath and faithfully keep his covenant: 7 “I will bring you to Zion, my sacred hill, give you joy in my house of prayer, and accept the sacrifices you offer on my altar. My Temple will be called a house of prayer for the people of all nations.” 8 The Sovereign Lord, who has brought his people Israel home from exile, has promised that
he will bring still other people to join them.
Romans 11:13-15, 28-32
13 I am speaking now to you Gentiles: as long as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I will take pride in my work. 14 Perhaps I can make the people of my own race jealous, and so be able to save some of them. 15 For when they were rejected, the human race was reconciled to God. What will it be, then, when they are accepted? It will be life for the dead!.... 28 Because the Jews rejected the Good News, they are God’s enemies for the sake of you Gentiles. But because of God’s choice, they are loved because of their ancestors. 29 For God does not change his mind about whom he chooses and blesses. 30 As for you Gentiles, you disobeyed God in the past; but now you have received God’s mercy because the Jews were disobedient. 31 In the same way, because of the mercy that you have received, the Jews now disobey God, in order that they also may now receive God’s mercy. 32 For God has made all people prisoners of disobedience, so that he might show mercy
to them all.
Matthew (San Mateo) 15:21-28
21 Jesus left that place and went off to the territory near the cities of Tyre and Sidon. 22A Canaanite woman who lived in that region came to him. “Son of David!” she cried out. “Have mercy on me, sir! My daughter has a demon and is in a terrible condition.” 23 But Jesus did not say a word to her. His disciples came to him and begged him, “Send her away! She is following us and making all this noise!” 24 Then Jesus replied, “I have been sent only to the lost sheep of the people of Israel.” 25 At this the woman came and fell at his feet. “Help me, sir!” she said. 26 Jesus answered, “It isn’t right to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.” 27 “That’s true, sir,” she answered; “but even the dogs eat the leftovers that fall from their masters’ table.” 28 So Jesus answered her, “You are a woman of great faith! What you want will be done for you.” And at that very
moment her daughter was healed.
21Jesús se dirigió de allí a la región de Tiro y Sidón. 22Y una mujer cananea, de aquella región, se le acercó, gritando: “¡Señor, Hijo de David, ten compasión de mí! ¡Mi hija tiene un demonio que la hace sufrir mucho!” 23Jesús no le contestó nada. Entonces sus discípulos se acercaron a él y le rogaron: “Dile a esa mujer que se vaya, porque viene gritando detrás de nosotros.” 24Jesús dijo: “Dios me ha enviado solamente a las ovejas perdidas del pueblo de Israel.” 25Pero la mujer fue a arrodillarse delante de él, diciendo: “¡Señor, ayúdame!” 26Jesús le contestó: “No está bien quitarles el pan a los hijos y dárselo a los perros.” 27Ella le dijo: “Sí, Señor; pero hasta los perros comen las migajas que caen de la mesa de sus amos.” 28Entonces le dijo Jesús:
“¡Mujer, qué grande es tu fe! Hágase como quieres.” Y desde ese mismo momento su hija quedó sana.
The Apostle’s 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 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, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Hymn: “Praise the Lord, Sing Alleluia"
(sung to the tune of "Angels from the Realms of Glory", copyright 1974 E. Margaret Clarkson)
Praise the Lord, sing alleluia, children of God's gracious choice;
Let His praises rise as thunder, let the whole earth hear His voice
Till the song of His salvation makes His broken world rejoice!
Man's imprisoning night is shattered at the impact of His Word;
Light and life spring forth eternal where that mighty voice is heard;
Let the powers of death & darkness own the triumph of their Lord!
Praise the Lord until His glory floods the farthest realms of earth,
Till from every tribe and nation souls rise up in glad rebirth;
Haste the day of His appearing when all creatures own His worth.

The Prayers
The Lord’s Prayer
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
Service of the Sacrament
Pastor: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
Pastor: Lift up your hearts.
People: We lift them to the Lord.
Pastor: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People: It is right to give Him thanks and praise.
Pastor: It is indeed right, our duty and our joy, that we should always sing of your glory, holy Father, almighty and eternal God, through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. For you are the hope of the nations, the builder of the city that is to come. Your love made visible in Jesus Christ brings home the lost, restores the sinner and gives dignity to the despised. In his face your light shines out, flooding lives with goodness and truth,
and making us all, a divided and broken humanity, forever one in your kingdom.
People: Amen.
Prayer of Thanksgiving
Blessed are You, Lord of heaven and earth, for You have had mercy on those whom You created and sent Your only-begotten Son into our flesh to bear our sin and be our Savior. With repentant joy, we receive the salvation accomplished for us by the all-availing sacrifice of His body and His blood on the cross. Gathered in the name and the remembrance of Jesus, we beg You, O Lord, to forgive, renew, and strengthen us with Your Word and Spirit. Grant us to faithfully eat His body and drink His blood as He bids us to in His own testament. Gather us together from the ends of the earth to celebrate, with all the faithful, the marriage feast of the Lamb in His kingdom, which has no end. Receive our prayers; deliver and preserve us. To You alone
be all glory, honor, and worship, now and forever. Amen.
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.

Closing Hymn: “¿Que Sería de Mi?” /“What Would Be of My Life?”
(by Jesús Adrián Romero, c. 1998, Vástago Music)
¿Que sería de mí si no me hubieras alcanzado?
¿Donde estaría hoy si no me hubieras perdonado?
Tendría un vacío en mi corazón.
Vagaría sin rumbo, sin dirección.
Si no fuera por tu gracia y por tu amor.
Si no fuera por tu gracia y por tu amor.
Sería como pájaro herido que se muere en el suelo.
Sería como ciervo que brama por agua en el desierto.
Si no fuera por tu gracia y por tu amor.
Si no fuera por tu gracia y por tu amor.
What would be of my life if you had never come to love me?
Where would I be right now if you had never forgiven me?
My heart would be filled with an empty space,
And my life with no aim and no hope would race....
If it wasn’t for your grace and your love for me!
If it wasn’t for your grace and your love for me!
I’d be like a wounded bird lying helpless on the ground.
I’d be like a deer seeking water where none can be found.
If it wasn’t for your grace and your love for me!
If it wasn’t for your grace and your love for me!
The Blessing
