PRAYER OF THE DAY

Lord God, you protect all who trust in you, and without you nothing is strong and nothing is holy: In your great mercy guide us through the good things of this life, so that in the end we do not lose the things of eternal life. We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

READINGS Genesis 18:1-15 (21:1-7) The Lord appears to Abraham to announce the birth of Isaac Romans 5:1-8 Christ died for the ungodly Matthew 9:35 - 10:8 (9-23) Jesus sends out the Twelve

PSALM 116:1,2,12-19 responsively I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. How can I repay the LORD for all his goodness to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant;

you have freed me from my chains. I will sacrifice a thank-offering to you and call on the name of the LORD. I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people, in the courts of the house of the LORD—in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.

ORDINATION - WE’RE LISTENING From March to September 2017 members of the CTICR and bishops will be travelling to a number of centres across Australia and New Zealand for consultations meetings regarding the draft doctrinal statement that presents a theological basis for the ordination of both women and men, and why this need not be church divisive. All members of the LCA and LCNZ are encouraged to come along to listen and contribute, particularly those who are Synod delegates. This is an important conversation for our church, as we continue to grow in serving our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Please pray for those doing this work, the consultations and the church as we continue what has proven to be a very long and difficult conversation for us. You will be invited to make comments on this website after the consultations have concluded. Dates are:

VIC-TAS Sun 10 Sept, 2pm North East St Paul’s Lutheran Church Shepparton (TBC)
