“O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your Name in all the earth!”

Welcome to our worship service, here at Open Arms Lutheran Church!  We're very glad you've joined us to worship and praise the majestic Name of God, the Father, Son and Spirit!  

Receive now the gifts of God; His word and forgiveness of sins!

Invocation

V:   In the name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit,       

C:  AMEN

Opening Song:    Praise the Father, Praise the Son

Psalm 8

V:   O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

C:  You have set your glory above the heavens.

V:   Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes,

C:  to still the enemy and the avenger.

V:   When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,

C:  the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

V:   what is man that you are mindful of him,

C:  and the son of man that you care for him?

V:   Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings

C:  and crowned him with glory and honor.

V:   You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;

C:  you have put all things under his feet,

V:   all sheep and oxen,

C:  and also the beasts of the field,

V:   the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,

C:  whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

V:   O Lord, our Lord,

C:  how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Confession and Absolution

V:  O Triune God, our Creator, Redeemer and Comforter, hear our cries for mercy.  We’ve rebelled against You and Your commands for our lives.  We want to do things our own way, to follow our own paths, to be led by the sinful influences and people around us.  Like our first parents Adam & Eve, we are sinful, and we sin all the time.  There is nothing good in us, not our thoughts, words nor deeds. 

C:  O Father, have mercy on us, for Jesus’ sake.

Silent confession of your sins

V:  The LORD God said: “It is not good that man should be alone.”, so He created Eve, a helper for Adam.  In a similar way, rather than let mankind die alone in sin, God sent His only Son, Jesus to be our Helper, our Redeemer, our Savior!  By His innocent suffering, death and resurrection, Jesus purchased and won your forgiveness, your freedom from sin!  Accept His free gift,  in the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C:  Amen. 

Old Testament Reading        Genesis 1:1 – 2:4a

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.  The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep.  And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.  And God saw that the light was good.  And God separated the light from the darkness.  God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.  And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.”  And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse.  And it was so.  And God called the expanse Heaven.  And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.  

And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.”  And it was so.  God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas.  And God saw that it was good.  And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so.  The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.  And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night.  And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.”  And it was so.  And God made the two great lights - the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night - and the stars.  And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness.  And God saw that it was good.  And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.  

And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.”  So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind.  And God saw that it was good.  And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”  And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds - livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.”  And it was so.  And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind.  And God saw that it was good.  Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.  And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”  And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit.  You shall have them for food.  And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.  And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Thus, the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.  And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.  So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.

These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. 

V:  This is the Word of the Lord.   

C:  Thanksbe to God.

Epistle Reading                     Acts 2:14a, 22-36

But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.

“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know - this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.  God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.  For David says concerning him,

“I saw the Lord always before me,

   for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;

therefore, my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;

   my flesh also will dwell in hope.

For you will not abandon my soul to Hades,

   or let your Holy One see corruption.

You have made known to me the paths of life;

   you will make me full of gladness with your presence.”

“Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.  Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.  This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.  Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.  For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,

The Lord said to my Lord,

    “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”

Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

V:  This is the Word of the Lord.   

C:  Thanksbe to God.

Holy Gospel                           Matthew 28:16-20

V:  The Holy Gospel according to St. John, the 28^thchapter.

C:  Gloryto You, O Lord.

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.  And when they saw Him they worshiped Him, but some doubted.  And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.  And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

V:  This is the Word of the Lord.  

C:  Praise to You, O Christ.

Sermon  

 

The Apostles’  Creed             

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,

     maker of heaven and earth.

 And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,

     who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

     born of the virgin Mary,

     suffered under Pontius Pilate,

     was crucified, died and was buried.

     The third day He rose again from the dead.

     He ascended into heaven

     and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.

     From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.

Public Worship at Open Arms

Public Worship Services are Resuming!

Click here for a video of this message:  Open Arms Worship Announcement    

Dear friends in Christ Jesus,
Thanks be to God, that by His mercy the risks of this pandemic are decreasing in our communities.  And so, we have some good news:

Open Arms will re-start weekly, public worship services Sunday June 14^th

First Service beginning 9:00 am

Second Service beginning 10:30 am

Both services will be the same in content and format and will include the celebration of Holy Communion.  Having two services will allow us to accommodate our worshipers in a safe and respectful manner, keeping required social distances between people and household groups who attend.  

Wearing of personal face masks will also be required for those who attend.  
More specific details about what you can expect are given below:

• We will have two worship services each Sunday morning:  beginning at 9:00 and at 10:30 am.  Each service will last about 45 minutes.
• Wearing masks is required at all times, for all worshipers and helpers.  You may not feel this is necessary for your protection or comfort, but for many of our members, everyone wearing masks is very important.  A small sacrifice on one's part for the comfort of a neighbor is a God-pleasing thing. (nota bene: Romans 14:20, and 1 Corinthians 8:9-13).  
• You may remove your mask at times during the service, but only during those times  when you are not speaking, singing, coughing, sneezing or moving around.  If you don't have a mask, or forget to bring yours from home, we will have masks available for you to wear.
• We intend to have a small number of musicians and singers to lead our congregation in singing.  
• All doors will be propped open, so that you will not need to touch anything until you arrive at your chosen seats.  Of course, bathrooms will be open for use, but social distancing and extreme attention to washing and wiping down touched surfaces must be used by all.
• All socializing must take place outside the building, whether before or after services.  If you choose to chit-chat, stand in the grass areas, six feet apart from other groups and from those entering and leaving the building.
• Inside, we will arrange groups of four chairs, each group being at least six feet apart from other groups.  Our maximum capacity for each service will be around 45 people.
• If your household group is smaller than four, just leave chairs unused.  If your group has more than four, pull chairs from a nearby group, keeping social distances if needed.
• On each chair you will find a bulletin, a disposable communion kit and a napkin.  If you do not use the communion kit, please place it under your chair for us to collect later.  When leaving, carry everything you used out with you, disposing of the empty communion kit and napkin in trash containers you will walk past.  This includes your bulletin, unless you choose to take it home with you.
• You will be able to place your offerings into a plate as you enter and/or leave the worship area.
• Chairs and bathroom surfaces will be wiped down and cleaned after both services.
• For any folks not attending in person, the 9am service will be recorded and posted online as quickly as possible.  

I hope this gives you a good understanding of the steps we will be taking.  We are working and praying that everyone who chooses to join with us will feel safe and respected during the entire experience.  If you have comments, questions or additional suggestions regarding these plans, you are welcome to contact me or your Elder to share them.

Thanks be to God for His mercy, that we can now safely gather together again!  Please continue to pray every day for the healing of many who are still sick, for the protection of many who care for them, and for the safety of all others.

In Christ's service, 

Vicar Mark

Invocation
V:   In the name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit,
C:  AMEN

Opening Song:    Living Hope

Confession and Absolution

V:  Jesus Christ is our Living Hope, because we are hopeless.  We’re hopelessly lost in our sins, hopelessly lost in our self-importance, our self-centeredness, our selfishness.  We're hopelessly lost in ourselves.  We’re hopeless because, by ourselves we can do nothing, especially nothing to save ourselves.  So, hopeless one, join with me as together we confess our sins, and ask God’s mercy and forgiveness.

C: O Father, have mercy on us, for Jesus’ sake.

                  Silent confession of your sins

V:  So, Jesus Christ stepped into our hopeless situation.  Because He died on Calvary’s cross and rose from the grip of His tomb, He is alive, and so are we!  Jesus Christ is our Living Hope, because He lives and gives us hope.  Not a worldly hope, which may give way.  Jesus Christ has given you a certain hope!   You are forgiven!  You are given His righteousness, in the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C:  Amen. 

Old Testament Reading        Numbers 11:24-30

   So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD. And he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people and placed them around the tent.  Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and took some of the Spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders. And as soon as the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied.  But they did not continue doing it.

   Now two men remained in the camp, one named Eldad, and the other named Medad, and the Spirit rested on them.  They were among those registered, but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp.  And a young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”  And Joshua the son of Nun, the assistant of Moses from his youth, said, “My lord Moses, stop them.”  But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake?  Would that all the LORD’s people were prophets, that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!”  And Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.

V:  This is the Word of the Lord.   

C:  Thanksbe to God.

Epistle Reading                     Acts 2:1-21

   When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.  And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.  And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them.  And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

   Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.  And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language.  And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?  And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language?  Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.”  And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”  But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”

   But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.  For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.  But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

            “And in the last days it shall be, God declares,

   that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,

   and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

   and your young men shall see visions,

   and your old men shall dream dreams;

   even on my male servants and female servants

   in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy. 

And I will show wonders in the heavens above

   and signs on the earth below,

   blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;

   the sun shall be turned to darkness

   and the moon to blood,

   before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.

And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

V:   This is the Word of the Lord.   

C:  Thanks be to God.

Holy Gospel                           John 7:37-39

V:  The Holy Gospel according to St. John, the 7^thchapter.

C:  Gloryto You, O Lord. 

     On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.  Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ ”  Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

V:  This is the Word of the Lord.  

C:  Praise to You, O Christ.

Sermon  

 

The Nicene Creed     

   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 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 of the world to come. Amen.

      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.

Opening Song:    You Are My Strength

Invocation

V:   In the name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit,         

C:  AMEN

Confession and Absolution

V:  O God our Father, we confess to You all of our sins, those which come now to mind and all others we have forgotten.  Our thoughts words and actions all fall short of what Your perfection demands.  We deserve only punishment; You have every reason to turn away from us.

C:  O Father, have mercy on us, for Jesus’ sake.

Silent confession of your sins

V:  God your Father in heaven promises to hear our confessions and forgive our sins, because of Jesus.  Your Savior took your God’s punishment that you deserve, so you are forgiven in the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C:  Amen. 

First Reading                         Acts 1:12-26

Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.  And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James.  All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said, “Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.  For he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry.”  (Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.  And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)   “For it is written in the Book of Psalms,

“May his camp become desolate, and let there be no one to dwell in it”

and

“Let another take his office.”

So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.”  And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.  And they prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.”  And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

A: This is the Word of the Lord.

Epistle Reading                     1 Peter 4:12-19, 5:6-11

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.  But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.  If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.  But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.  Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.  For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?  And

          “If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”

Therefore, let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.  Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.  Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.  And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.  To him be the dominion forever and ever.  Amen.

A:  This is the Word of the Lord.   

Holy Gospel    John 17:1-11

V:  The Holy Gospel according to St. John, the 17^thchapter.

C:  Gloryto You, O Lord.

When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.  And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.  I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.  And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

“I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.  Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you.  For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.  I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.  All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.  And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you.  Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.

V:  This is the Word of the Lord.  

C:  Praise to You, O Christ.
