Teach us as disciples of your Son to love the world with compassion and constancy, that your name may be known throughout the earth, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen. First Reading: Isaiah 56:1, 6-8 Thus says the?Lord:???Maintain justice, and do what is right, for soon my salvation will come, and my deliverance be revealed.And the foreigners who join themselves to the?Lord, to minister to him, to love the name of the?Lord, and to be his servants, all who keep the sabbath, and do not profane it, and hold fast my covenant— these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.Thus says the Lord?God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, I will gather others to them besides those already gathered.Psalm 67 May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us,??????????Selahthat your way may be known upon earth, your saving power among all nations.Let the peoples praise you, O?God; let all the peoples praise you.Let the nations be glad and sing for?joy, for you judge the peoples with equity?and guide the nations upon earth.??????????SelahLet the peoples praise you, O?God;?let all the peoples praise you.The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, has blessed us.May God continue to bless us; let all the ends of the earth revere him.Second Reading: Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.?God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel??for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.?Just as you were once disobedient to God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience,?so they have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they too may now?receive mercy.?For God has imprisoned all in disobedience so that he may be merciful to all.The Holy Gospel: Matthew 15:21-28Jesus left that place and went away to the district of Tyre and Sidon.?Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came out and started shouting, ‘Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is tormented by a demon.’?But he did not answer her at all. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, ‘Send her away, for she keeps shouting after us.’?He answered, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’?But she came and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, help me.’?He answered, ‘It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.’?She said, ‘Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.’?Then Jesus answered her, ‘Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.’ And her daughter was healed instantly.HomilyHymn of the Day: “Healer of our Every Ill” – ELW #612Apostles’ CreedPrayers of IntercessionThe Lord’s PrayerBenedictionSending Song: “In Christ Alone”Announcements:THE 7 CONGREGATION PARTNERSHIP – schedule for this week for the 7 congregations of the ELCIC and the upcoming Sundays is as follows: August 16 – Home CongregationAugust 23 – Home CongregationAugust 30 – Home Congregation Check out where you can find all 7 church websites and resource links.MORNING PRAYER WITH PASTOR RON – We’re not too rigid about the time, but 10-ish Wednesday morning by Zoom or in person (in the Chapel).
