Footprints in the Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints. Other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed That during the low periods of my life, When I was suffering from Anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord, “You promised me Lord, That if I followed you, You would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during The most trying periods of my life There have only been one Set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, You have not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The times when you have Seen only one set of footprints, Is when I carried you.”

Recessional Hymn “Be Thou My Vision”

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;

naught be all else to me, save that thou art:

thou my best thought both by day and by night,

waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.

Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word;

I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord.

Thou my soul’s shelter, and thou my high tow’r,

raise thou me heav’n-ward, O Pow’r of my pow’r.

Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise,

thou mine inheritance, now and always:

thou and thou only, the first in my heart,

great God of heaven, my treasure thou art.

Light of my soul, after victory won,

may I reach heaven’s joys, O heaven’s Sun!

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,

still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

*Composed for and dedicated to Scott Patrick and family

The Laborer’s Task

Now the laborer’s task is o’er,

Now the battle day is past,

Now upon the farther shore,

Lands the voyager at last.

Chorus

Father in Thy gracious keeping,

Leave we now Thy servant sleeping,

Father in Thy gracious keeping,

Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.

There the tears of earth are dried,

There its hidden things are clear,

There the work of earth is tried,

By a juster judge than here.

Chorus

There the sinful souls that turn,

To the cross their dying eyes,

All the love of Christ shall learn,

At His feet in paradise.

Chorus

Earth to earth, and dust to dust,

Calmly now the words we say,

Left behind we wait in trust,

For the resurrection day.

GATHERING

Welcome in the name of Jesus, the Savior of the world.

We are gathered to worship, to proclaim Christ crucified

and risen, to remember before God our brother Scott,

to give thanks for his life, to commend him to our merciful

redeemer, and to comfort one another in our grief.

THANKSGIVING FOR BAPTISM

When we were baptized in Christ Jesus, we were baptized

into his death. We were buried therefore with him by

baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the

dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live a new

life. For if we have been united with him in a death like

his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection

like his.

All who are baptized into Christ have put on Christ. In his

baptism, Scott was clothed with Christ. In the day of

Christ’s coming, he shall be clothed with glory.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,

bright shining as the sun,

we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

than when we’d first begun.

Apostles’ Creed

With the whole church, let us confess our faith,

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven

and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s 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 to the dead. On the

third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is

seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come

to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,

the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the

resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Amen.

Prayers of Intercession

Let us pray to our Lord Jesus Christ who said,

“I am the resurrection and the life.”

Pastor: … Lord in your mercy

People: Hear our prayer.

WORD

Reading

“I asked for strength...And God gave me difficulties to

make me strong. I asked for wisdom And God gave me

problems to solve. I asked for courage and God gave me

danger to overcome. I asked for love and God gave me

troubled people to help. I asked for favors and God gave

me opportunities. I received nothing I wanted….yet I have

everything I needed. Trust in God.” (Anonymous)

Reading Psalm 23

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me

lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters;

he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his

name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest

valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your

staff— they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in

the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow

me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of

the LORD my whole life long.

The Holy Gospel according to St. John,

Glory to you, O Lord.

Gospel John 1:1-9

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with

God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with

God. All things came into being through him, and without

him not one thing came into being. What has come into be-

ing in him was life,

and the life was the light of all

people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness

did not overcome it. There was a man sent from God,

whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify to

the light, so that all might believe through him. He himself

was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. The

true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the

world.

The Gospel of the Lord

Praise to you, O Christ.

Hymn “Amazing Grace”

Amazing grace! - how sweet the sound -

that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost,

but now am found; was blind, but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

and grace my fears relieved;

how precious did that grace appear

the hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils, and snares

I have already come;

‘tis grace has brought me safe thus far,

and grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me;

His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures.
