The Second Sunday after Pentecost June 3, 2018 8:00am
Welcome and Announcements Hymn of Invocation: “O Day of Rest and Gladness” LSB 906
Confession and Absolution
Stand
The sign of the cross may be made by all in remembrance of their baptism.
P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen.
P Our help is in the name of the Lord, C who made heaven and earth.
P If You, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? C But with You there is forgiveness; therefore You are feared.
P Since we are gathered to hear God’s Word, call upon Him in prayer and praise, and
receive the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ in the fellowship of this altar, let us
first consider our unworthiness and confess before God and one another that we have
sinned in thought, word, and deed, and that we cannot free ourselves from our sinful
condition. Together as His people let us take refuge in the infinite mercy of God, our
heavenly Father, seeking His grace for the sake of Christ, and saying: God, be merciful
to me, a sinner.
C Almighty God, have mercy upon us, forgive us our sins, and lead us to everlasting
life. Amen.
P Almighty God in His mercy has given His Son to die for you and for His sake forgives
you all your sins. As a called and ordained servant of Christ, and by His authority, I
therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit.
C Amen.

Eternal God, Your Son Jesus Christ is our true Sabbath rest. Help us to keep each day holy by

receiving His Word of comfort that we may find our rest in Him,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
C Amen.

Service of the Word
Old Testament Reading Deuteronomy 5:12–15 12“‘Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you. 13Six
days you shall labor and do all your work, 14but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD
your God. On it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter or your male
servant or your female servant, or your ox or your donkey or any of your livestock, or the
sojourner who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may rest
as well as you. 15You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the
LORD your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.
Therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
A This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God.
Psalm Psalm 81:1–10 (antiphon: v. 13)
P Oh, that my people would listen to me,
C that Israel would walk in my ways!
P Sing aloud to God our strength;
C shout for joy to the God of Jacob!
P Raise a song; sound the tambourine,
C the sweet lyre with the harp.
P Blow the trumpet at the new moon,
C at the full moon, on our feast day.
P For it is a statute for Israel,
C a just decree of the God of Jacob.
P He made it a decree in Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt.
C I hear a language I had not known:
P “I relieved your shoulder of the burden;
C your hands were freed from the basket.
P In distress you called, and I delivered you;
C I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
P Hear, O my people, while I admonish you!
5
C O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
P There shall be no strange god among you;
C you shall not bow down to a foreign god.
P I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
C Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
ALL: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
P Oh, that my people would listen to me,
C that Israel would walk in my ways!
Epistle 2 Corinthians 4:5–12 5For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your
servants for Jesus’ sake. 6For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in
our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to
God and not to us. 8We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven
to despair; 9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10always carrying in
the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of
Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12So death is at work in us, but life in you.
A This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God.

Holy Gospel Mark 2:23–28 P The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark, the second chapter. C Glory to You, O Lord.
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath 23One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his
disciples began to pluck heads of grain. 24And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why
are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” 25And he said to them, “Have you never
read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: 26how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread
of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those
who were with him?” 27And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for
the Sabbath. 28So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
P This is the Gospel of the Lord. C Praise to You, O Christ.
Nicene Creed C I believe in one God,
the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth
and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only-begotten Son of God,
begotten of His Father before all worlds,
God of God, Light of Light,
very God of very God,
begotten, not made,
being of one substance with the Father,
by whom all things were made;
who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven
7
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary
and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.
He suffered and was buried.
And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures
and ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of the Father.
And He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead,
whose kingdom will have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord and giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified,
who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church,
I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins,
and I look for the resurrection of the dead
and the life T of the world to come. Amen.

P Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. C It is right to give Him thanks and praise. P It is truly good, right, and salutary that we should at all times and in all places give
thanks to You, O Lord, holy Father, almighty and everlasting God, for the countless
blessings You so freely bestow on us and all creation. Above all, we give thanks for
Your boundless love shown to us when You sent Your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ,
into our flesh and laid on Him our sin, giving Him into death that we might not die
eternally. Because He is now risen from the dead and lives and reigns to all eternity, all
who believe in Him will overcome sin and death and will rise again to new life.
Therefore with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven we laud and
magnify Your glorious name, evermore praising You and saying:
Sanctus
P Blessed are You, O Lord our God, king of all creation, for You have had mercy on us
and given Your only-begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but
have eternal life.
In Your righteous judgment You condemned the sin of Adam and Eve, who ate the
forbidden fruit, and You justly barred them and all their children from the tree of life.
Yet, in Your great mercy, You promised salvation by a second Adam, Your Son, Jesus
Christ, our Lord, and made His cross a life-giving tree for all who trust in Him.
9
We give You thanks for the redemption You have prepared for us through Jesus Christ.
Grant us Your Holy Spirit that we may faithfully eat and drink of the fruits of His cross
and receive the blessings of forgiveness, life, and salvation that come to us in His body
and blood.
Hear us as we pray in His name and as He has taught us:
Lord's Prayer C Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven;
give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those
who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen.

Christ Jesus Is the Sabbath Rest that Remains
for the People of God Forevermore The
Lord brought the sons of Israel out of Egypt
“with a mighty hand and an outstretched
arm,” in order to give them rest (Deut.
5:15). When He commanded them to
“observe the Sabbath day,” therefore, it
meant not doing “any work” but resting in
His works (Deut. 5:12, 14). So has the same
Lord, Jesus Christ, come in the flesh to fulfill
the Law and to become our Sabbath Rest.
As David “entered the house of God,” and
not only “ate the bread of the Presence” but
“also gave it to those who were with him”
(Mark 2:26), the Lord Jesus entered the
Holy of Holies as our great High Priest, in
order to feed us with His flesh as the true
bread of the Presence of God. As “lord even
of the Sabbath,” He works “to do good,”
to heal and “to save life” (Mark 2:28; 3:2,
4). He brings us out of sin and death and
gives us rest in His own crucified and risen
body. Though it is given “in jars of clay,”
the life of Jesus is thereby manifested in our
bodies (2 Cor. 4:7–11).

You may watch a live video of our Town
Hall Meeting (THM) of May 16, 2018 on
Facebook's Trinity Lutheran Church-Sauk
Rapids page. Please pick up a form on the
info desk and fill one out for each family
member, and return to either the church
office or a member of the leadership team
by Wednesday, June 13th.
Attention all involved in a group, ministry,
etc. at Trinity:
Please email a synopsis of your group to
(office@trinitysr.org) covering group
name/title, who, what, where, why, how
and leader name(s), email and phone
number. We are wanting to get this
information archived and available to all at
Trinity. One of the results of our THM was
that we all really lacked knowledge of
several groups in our own church. We
want to know more about them.
One of the common themes is that we have
most of the same people spearheading most
of the activities, groups and such at church.
WE NEED MORE INVOLVEMENT! We
also discussed how to get more
involvement as this develops a lot through
relationship-building. We are in need of
more relationship-building and/or social
activities through Trinity that involve
everyone (seniors, youth of all ages,
parents, singles, couples, empty-nesters,
grandparents...). Being that we have
already established a social foundation
through Wednesday nights with God's
Grub, Advent and Lenten suppers,
confirmation and music we've decided that
we need to build off of this in a bold way!
We are hoping to have these bloomed ideas
in motion by this-coming fall. With that
said, we (ALL of us) need to roll up our
sleeves and put in some elbow grease over
the summer. Our next scheduled meeting is
Wednesday, June 13th at 6:00 in the
fellowship hall. Having said this, we need
YOU there and your KIDS!!! Please make a
15
strong effort to attend and if you have
children, bring them as well. Your input is
extremely wanted by all who want to grow
in Christ.
In the meantime:
Adults, please start engaging with our youth
(other than your own). Strike up a
conversation... ask them what school they
attend, what grade they're in. Invest in
them a little by asking them to join us for
bible study, cooking in the kitchen,
cleaning, setting up, greeting, handing out
bulletins, etc.
Members, we need to engage more with
visitors, new members and those who may
be struggling. Please make a strong effort
each week by stepping a bit outside your
box to say "hi" and introduce yourself to
someone you don't know yet.
Mark your calendars for the evening of
Wednesday, June 13th at 6:00 for our THM
#2, the evening of July 4th. We will be
having a get-together in the parking lot
before the fireworks. Also, for the evening
of Wednesday, July 11th - 5:00 supper, 6:00
outdoor service and 7:30 bonfire.
Women's Bible Study (evening group):
Open to all ages. Our goal is to build
relationships while growing in our
knowledge of God's Word. We meet once
per month and try to keep this meeting on
the 2nd Wednesday of the month from 6-
7:30pm, although, this sometimes changes
dependent on other church events. Contact

WE WELCOME FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN
We are glad you are here! If there is a time during the Worship Service that you feel your child (or you) needs a “time out,” please feel free to leave the service.
If you leave the service you can go to the lobby or use the large conference room across from the church office. The conference room has speakers and one-way glass so you can still participate in Worship. During the 9:30am worship service the nursery is
also available for 0-3 years old. It is not staffed but you are welcome to stay in the room with your child. It is the first classroom on the left as you enter the Preschool parent lounge area. There are also speakers in the nursery so you can listen to the service. Activity bags for young children to use are in the plastic tub outside the
church office.
