14th Sunday after Pentecost

A Service of Healing and Wholeness

August 29, 2010

 

Welcome to Worship!

A special welcome to visitors and guests!   Please sign the welcome book located at the end of each pew and pass it along to those seated with you.  Guests are also invited to sign the guest book in the entryway. 

Today’s Focus

Invited and inviting—that is the nature of the church.  By God’s grace in holy baptism we have a place at the banquet table of the Lord.  When, by the power of that same Spirit, humility and mutual love continue among us, the church can be more inviting still.

 

Large print bulletins and listening aids are available from an usher.

Confession and Forgiveness

 

P: In the name of the Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

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.

 

P: Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.

 

The assembly kneels or stands. Silence is kept for reflection.

 

P: Most merciful God,

C: we confess that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves. We have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name. Amen.

 

 

 

 

P: God, who is rich in mercy, loved us even when we were dead in sin, and made us alive together with Christ. By grace you have been saved. In the name of + Jesus Christ, your sins are forgiven. Almighty God strengthen you with power through the Holy Spirit, that Christ may live in your hearts through faith.

C: Amen.

 

Gathering Hymn:                              O God Beyond All Praising  880

C: And also with you.

P: Let us pray,

Word

First Lesson                                                              Proverbs 25:6-7 

 

6    Do not put yourself forward in the king’s presence

    or stand in the place of the great;

7    for it is better to be told, “Come up here,”

    than to be put lower in the presence of a noble.

    What your eyes have seen

 

R:  The Word of the Lord.

C: Thanks be to God.

 

PSALM 112                                       Sung Alternating Women and Men

     

 

1 Hallelujah! Happy are they who ‘ fear the Lord*

            and have great delight in ‘ his commandments!

2 Their descendants will be mighty ‘ in the land;*

            the generation of the upright ‘ will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches will be ‘ in their house,*

            and their righteousness will ‘ last forever.

4 Light shines in the darkness ‘ for the upright;*

            the righteous are merciful and full ‘ of compassion.

5 It is good for them to be gener- ‘ ous in lending*

            and to manage their af- ‘ fairs with justice.

6 For they will nev- ‘ er be shaken;*

            the righteous will be kept in everlast- ‘ ing remembrance.

7 They will not be afraid of any ‘evil rumors;*

            their heart is right; they put their trust ‘ in the Lord.

8 Their heart is established and ‘ will not shrink,*

            until they see their desire up- ‘ on their enemies.

9 They have given freely ‘ to the poor,*

            and their righteousness stands fast forever;

            they will hold up their ‘head with honor.

10 The wicked will see it and be angry; they will gnash their teeth and ‘ pine away;* the desires of the wick- ‘ed will perish.

 

       

Second Lesson                                           Hebrews 13: 1-8, 15-16          

 

1Let mutual love continue. 2Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. 3Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured. 4Let marriage be held in honor by all, and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled; for God will judge fornicators and adulterers. 5Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” 6So we can say with confidence,

    “The Lord is my helper;

    I will not be afraid.

    What can anyone do to me?”

7Remember your leaders, those who spoke the word of God to you; consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. 8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

15Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name. 16Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

 

R: The Word of the Lord.

C: Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation           

The assembly stands.                                                                                  

 

Gospel Lesson                                                        Luke 14: 1, 7-14

 

P: The Holy Gospel according to the 14th Chapter of Luke.

C: Glory to you O Lord!

 

1On one occasion when Jesus was going to the house of a leader of the Pharisees to eat a meal on the sabbath, they were watching him closely…

 

7When he noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, he told them a parable. 8“When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited by your host; 9and the host who invited both of you may come and say to you, ‘Give this person your place,’ and then in disgrace you would start to take the lowest place. 10But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher’; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you. 11For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

12He said also to the one who had invited him, “When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. 13But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. 14And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

 

P: The Gospel of the Lord.

C: Praise to you O Christ!

Our Mission

God’s Work.  Our Hands.

 

MARKED WITH THE CROSS of Christ forever, we are claimed, gathered and sent for the sake of the world.”  (ELCA Mission Statement)

 

CAMPUS MINISTRY of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America invites people in academic settings more deeply into Jesus Christ and the community that bears his name, so that they can discover and fulfill their vocation as disciples.

 

THE MISSION OF University Lutheran Church and Student Center is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the message of God’s abundant grace, to strengthen those who know their Lord and Savior and to reach out to those who do not, equipping all, through Word and Sacrament, to serve God.

 

 

 

WE HOPE YOU FOUND TODAY’S WORSHIP MEANINGFUL! Members, visitors and guests are invited to get involved beyond Sunday morning by attending a Bible Study group, participating in a service project, or by joining a committee or other group in the congregation.  Visitors who are interested in membership should talk to Pastor Mike.  Thanks for coming today!

 

WORSHIP HEARING AIDS are available from the ushers.  These hearing aids are small (like a transistor radio) and can be used any-where in the worship area.  Large Print Bulletins are also available.

 

CHILDREN ARE WELCOME at worship.  A Children’s Bulletin and Activity Bag are available in the entryway.  A Nursery is available for children ages 4 and under.  A Cry Room is located at the rear of the sanctuary.  We have Parent Pagers to contact you if needed.

 

BUILD YOUR OWN BREAKFAST each Sunday from 9:30-10:45 AM in the Fellowship Hall.  The breakfast buffet features eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, fruit, juice, coffee and more for a freewill donation. Guests, visitors and students eat free.

 

PARKING is available in the rear of the church.  You may also park in the two south rows of the Wesley Foundation lot and in all of the Sooners for Christ lot (white house).  Both of these lots are located across Elm Street.

 

 

FLOWERS on the altar are given by Marilyn Brinker in honor of her parents anniversary.

 

 

 

WOMEN OF THE WORD BOOK GROUP:  The WOW featured book for September is “Katharina Von Bora: A Reformation Lift”, by Rudolf K. Markwald and Marilyn Morris Markwald.  The authors trace Katy’s background, birth, childhood and early adult years.  Also her marriage to Martin Luther, after she had escaped from a convent because of what he taught.  The book reveals the faith and legacy of a woman who held steadfast to Christ in great adversity and need, and who also advocated evangelical reforms.  Come and share the story of this remarkable woman with us.  We meet on Fridays at noon in the church fellowship hall.  Bring your lunch if you like.  Call Arlis Scott (xxx-xxxx) or Mary Sue Schnell (xxx-xxxx7) for information.

 

FOOD AND SHELTER FOR FRIENDS:  As we return to the routines of school and the fall season, please remember those in need.  Pick up a few extra groceries, toiletries, toilet paper, etc. and put them in the collection bins in the entryway.  Your continued support is much appreciated!

 

ARE YOU A CARING PERSON?  A GOOD LISTENER?  If so, we need you to join the University Lutheran Care Team.  Members of the Care Team will receive 20 hours of training starting in September, and then work with Pastor Mike to provide care for members and friends of the congregation in a variety of situations.  Interested?  Talk with Pastor Mike. 

 

GIVE AN HOUR OR TWO to help keep University Lutheran looking good and in good repair.  The facilities committee is looking for people willing to give an hour or two to take care of some odd jobs and projects around the church. Jobs range from simple cleaning to more “skilled” tasks.  The facilities committee will provide all the necessary tools and materials.  If you can help, please call Susy Jorgenson at xxx-xxxx to arrange your time and task.  Thanks!

 

TEAM LEADERS AND USHERS are needed for second service.  This is not a hard job, and you will be trained.  It would only be for 1 or 2 Sunday’s a month.  If you can help, please call Pastor Mike.

 

QUARTERLY STATEMENTS are on the counter.  Please take yours home with you today.

 

The next REALLY, REALLY FREE MARKET is scheduled for Saturday, October 9 from 9 AM – 1 PM here at University Lutheran.  Congregational participation is needed!  If you can provide SERVICE, ENTERTAINMENT, ITEMS, CLOTHES, or SHARE A SKILL please fill out the form in the bulletin and return it to the church office by September 10.  You do not have to remain for the entire four hours.  Remember this is similar to a garage sale, but NO MONEY is exchanged. This is a way of reaching out and giving back to the Norman community.  If you have questions, contact Cheryl Bredeson at cbredeson@cox.net or xxx-xxxx.

 

VOLUNTEER COOKS ARE NEEDED!  For SOUL Wednesday dinner and bible studies.  We are looking for some generous church members who are willing to donate dinner for about 12-15 hungry students.  Please sign up for a day on the SOUL Bulletin Board in the narthex of the church. (See more details on the sign-up sheet).  For many students, having a home cooked meal is the highlight of their week.  We really appreciate all that you do.  Contact Kristin Reed Klade with any questions or concerns.

 

SOUL WELCOME BACK BBQ  is TODAY, August 29, following the second service.  Congregation members and friends are invited to join in the food and fellowship as we welcome new and returning students.  Please join us!

 

SINGLE PERSON OR STUDENT: One of our members is looking for a person to house and dog sit.  Would you be interested?  It’s only for a weekend.  You need to have your own transportation, and if interested, please see Chris or Cheryl.

Pray for peace and an end to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

We are happy to keep people on the prayer list as long as they are in need of prayers!  However, if you know that someone has recovered from their illness we will rejoice in taking them off the list!  Please call or email the office!
