Evangelical Lutheran Church & School

~ Missouri Synod ~ 586-727-9693

67055 Gratiot Avenue • Richmond, MI 48062

St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church & School, Richmond, Michigan

PRAYER OF THE DAY: Almighty and everlasting God, You knit together Your faithful people of all times and

places into one holy communion, the mystical body of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Grant us so to follow Your blessed saints

in all virtuous and godly living that, together with them, we may come to the unspeakable joys You have prepared for

those who love You; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now

and forever. Amen.

Revelation 7:9–17

9

After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that

no one could number, from every nation, from all

tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the

throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes,

with palm branches in their hands,

10

and crying out

with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who

sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

11

And all the

angels were standing around the throne and around

the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell

on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

12

saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and

thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to

our God forever and ever! Amen.”

13

Then one of the

elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed

in white robes, and from where have they come?”

14

I

said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me,

“These are the ones coming out of the great

tribulation. They have washed their robes and made

them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15

“Therefore

they are before the throne of God, and serve him day

and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne

will shelter them with his presence.

16

They shall

hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall

not strike them, nor any scorching heat.

17

For the

Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their

shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living

water, and God will wipe away every tear from their

eyes.”

This is the Word of the Lord . Thanks be to God.

1 John 3:1–3

1

See what kind of love the Father has given to us,

that we should be called children of God; and so

we are. The reason why the world does not know

us is that it did not know him.

2

Beloved, we are

God’s children now, and what we will be has not

yet appeared; but we know that when he appears

we shall be like him, because we shall see him as

he is.

3

And everyone who thus hopes in him

purifies himself as he is pure.

This is the Word of the Lord . Thank be toGod.

(sung) Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

These things are written that you may believe that

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew, the

fifth chapter.

Glory be to Thee, O Lord. (Sung)

Matthew 5:1–12

1

Seeing the crowds, [Jesus] went up on the mountain,

and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.

2

And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:

3

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the

kingdom of heaven.

4

“Blessed are those who mourn,

for they shall be comforted.

5

“Blessed are the meek,

for they shall inherit the earth.

6

“Blessed are those who

hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be

satisfied.

7

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall

receive mercy.

8

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for

they shall see God.

9

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for

they shall be called sons of God.

10

“Blessed are those

who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs

is the kingdom of heaven.

11

“Blessed are you when

others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds

of evil against you falsely on my account.

12

Rejoice

and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so

they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

This is the Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to You, O Christ.

Celebrating God’s

providing”

of the hymnal


COMMUNION STATEMENT: As Lutherans, we

believe that Scripture teaches that Jesus Christ is

truly present “in, with, and under” the bread and the

wine and that through this Sacrament, Jesus strength-

ens and forgives us through His body and blood. As

we celebrate this Sacrament, those who participate in

it also express their shared agreement in articles of

faith and fellowship with other Christians. As many

denominations are not in such agreement, we ask that

all those who are not members of a congregation of

The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, or are not

members of a Lutheran congregation which shares

our understanding of the Sacrament, please speak

with the Pastor before communing. (Don’t forget that

the rose colored wine in the center of the individual tray is

Lancers Alcohol Free)

RICHMOND FOOD PANTRY NEEDS….

Hello Everyone-Thanks so much for your prompt

response to our needs for the pantry. Our needs are

growing again and as I said before, our donations do

not come in like they used to. So, I am depending on

all of you for help. The Boy Scouts will be doing their

yearly food drive in a couple of weeks and I am hoping

that will help us as well. In the meantime, we could

really use the following:

assorted canned fruit

Manwich

pork and beans/baked beans

kidney beans

boxed potatoes

cake mixes/frosting

condiments (mustard, ketchup, dressings, etc.)

Hamburger Helper

DISHES

There will be a table outside the school office

in the lobby with dishes that have been left

behind from various dinners in the kitchen.

Please check to see if they belong to you. If

they are not claimed by November 12th they

will be donated to a local charity.

Thank you.
