Fifth Sunday After Epiphany



Second Sunday after Epiphany

January 17, 2021

Announcements

*Confession and Forgiveness

(All may make the sign of the cross that is marked at baptism.)

Blessed be the Holy Trinity, +one God, whose voice is upon the waters, whose mercy is poured out upon all people, whose goodness cascades over all creation. Amen.

Let us confess our sin, trusting in the abundant grace of God.

Silence is kept for reflection

Holy God,

You search us and know us. You are acquainted with all our ways. We confess that our hearts are burdened by sin -- our own sins and the broken systems that bind us. We turn inward, failing to follow your outward way of love. We distrust those who are not like us. We exploit the earth and its resources and fail to consider generations to come. Forgive us, gracious God, for all we have done and left undone. Even before the words are on our tongues, you know them; receive them in your divine mercy. Amen.

How vast is God’s grace! Through the power and promise of + Christ Jesus, our sins are washed away and we are claimed as God’s own beloved. Indeed, we are forgiven. In the wake of God’s forgiveness, we are called to be the beloved community living out Christ’s justice and the Spirit’s reconciling peace. Amen.

I'm goin'a let it shine;

let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

**Sermon

Sermon Song: Will You Come and Follow Me ELW #798

1. “Will you come and follow me if I but call your name?

Will you go where you don't know and never be the same?

Will you let my love be shown, will you let my name be known, will you let my life be grown in you and you in me?”

2. “Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name?

Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same?

Will you risk the hostile stare, should your life attract or scare?

Will you let me answer pray'r in you and you in me?”

3. “Will you let the blinded see if I but call your name?

Will you set the pris'ners free and never be the same?

Will you kiss the leper clean, and do such as this unseen, and admit to what I mean in you and you in me?”

4. “Will you love the you you hide if I but call your name?

Will you quell the fear inside and never be the same?

Will you use the faith you've found to reshape the world around, through my sight and touch and sound in you and you in me?”

5. Lord, your summons echoes true when you but call my name.

Let me turn and follow you and never be the same.

In your company I'll go where your love and footsteps show.

Thus I'll move and live and grow in you and you in me.

*Nicene Creed:

We believe in one God,

the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

the only Son of God,

eternally begotten of the Father,

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made,

of one Being with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again

in accordance with the scriptures;

he ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Prayers of the People (see Celebrate insert)

Offering Prayer: O God, receive these gifts as you receive us: like a mother receives her child, with arms open wide. Nourish us anew in your tender care, and empower us in faithful service to tend to others with this same love, through Jesus Christ, our saving grace. Amen.

Great Thanksgiving

Leader: The Lord be with you. Congregation: And also with you.

Leader: Lift up your hearts. Congregation: We lift them to the Lord.

Leader: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

Congregation: It is right to give our thanks and praise.

Words of Institution

Listen to these sacred words that will have been spoken.

"In the night which he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus took break, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples saying, 'Take and eat. This is my body, given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.' Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks and gave it for all to drink saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin. Do this in remembrance of me.'"

Sending Song: Songs of Thankfulness and Praise ELW #310

1 Songs of thankfulness and praise,

Jesus, Lord, to thee we raise;

manifested by the star

to the sages from afar,

branch of royal David's stem Page 2

in thy birth at Bethlehem:

anthems be to thee addressed,

God in flesh made manifest.

2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,

prophet, priest, and king supreme;

and at Cana wedding guest

in your God-head manifest;

manifest in pow'r divine,

changing water into wine;

anthems be to thee addressed,

God in flesh made manifest.

3 Manifest in making whole

weakened body, fainting soul;

manifest in valiant fight,

quelling all the devil's might;

manifest in gracious will,

ever bringing good from ill:

anthems be to thee addressed,

God in flesh made manifest.

4 Grant us grace to see thee, Lord,

present in thy holy word;

grace to imitate thee now

and be pure, as pure art thou;

that we might become like thee

at Thy great epiphany,

and may praise thee, ever blest,

God in flesh made manifest.
