SUNDAY
GOD GATHERS US
Prelude Welcome
Gathering Hymn
SPIRIT CHECK
Welcome to worship! Today, we celebrate Christ the King Sunday, the final day of the Church Year. We remember that Christ is the same today, yesterday, and tomorrow. His kingdom is everlasting, and he freely gives mercy to all who ask for it. Jesus does not reign as some tyrant only concerned about his own power. He is the true Servant King who gives his life for his people so they may experience the abundance of life. When we believe in Jesus as our Savior and accept him as our King, we are saying to ourselves and this world that we will live under his rule. Our lives begin to change, along with this world, the moment when people who believe in Jesus as their King begin to obey him in all they say and do. Let’s get ready to worship Jesus, our King!
Please silence your cell phones. Feel free to notify an usher if you would like a hearing assistance device.
Confession and Forgiveness All may make the sign of the cross, the sign marked at baptism, as the presiding minister begins.
P Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.
Please kneel as you are able.
Silence for reflection.
P Merciful God,
C you made us in your image, with a mind to know you,
a heart to love you, and a will to serve you.
But our knowledge is imperfect, our love inconsistent,
and our obedience incomplete.
Day by day, we fail to grow into your likeness.
In your tender love, forgive us our sins, known and unknown.
We pray, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
P In the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus,
we are assured that there is no sin so terrible that God cannot forgive,
no hurt so terrible that God cannot heal.
God accepts, God forgives, and God sets free.
Receive the forgiving love of God in the name of ☩ Jesus Christ.
C Amen.
P Blessed be the ☩ holy Trinity, the One who creates us,
the One who heals us, the One who raises us to new life.
C Amen.
P Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom
no secrets are hid: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your
Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy
name, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
C Amen.
Prayer of the Day P Let us pray. Almighty and ever‐living God, you anointed your beloved Son to be
priest and sovereign forever. Grant that all the people of the earth, now divided
by the power of sin, may be united by the glorious and gentle rule of Jesus Christ,
our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and forever.
C Amen.
Apostolic Greeting
P The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
C And also with you.

Hymn of the Day
The Nicene Creed
C 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 Intercession
Please kneel as you are able. After each petition:
A Lord in your mercy,
C hear our prayer.
The Peace
P The peace of the Lord be with you always.
C And also with you.
The people greet one another with a sign of Christ’s peace.

A Let us pray. God of all creation,
C all you have made is good, and your love endures forever. You bring forth

our Savior and Lord. Amen.

AT THE TABLE
The Great Thanksgiving
P The Lord be with you.
C And also with you.

C It is right to give our thanks and praise.
P It is indeed right, our duty and our joy...and join their unending hymn:

C Amen.
P Gathered into one by the Holy Spirit, we pray the prayer Jesus gave us:
Lord’s Prayer
C Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.
At Preston Meadow Lutheran, our communion table is “open.” That means that you don’t have to be a member of PMLC to commune, or even a Lutheran. We welcome children of all
ages to this favorite meal of the church because we know that we come at Jesus’ invitation to receive his free gift of grace. Parents, if your children are not yet communing,
encourage them to fold their arms over their chests to receive a blessing. If you are communing, simply open your hands and bread will be given to you. Cups with white grape
juice are located in the center of the trays; gluten-free wafers are available on request. Come and enjoy the free gifts of God!
