(*) OPENING PRAYER (*) OPENING HYMN “Lord, This Day We’ve Come To Worship” .................. LSB 911 (*) GREETING AND SALUTATION (Please stand.) P: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit

be with you all. C: And also with you. P: We gather to hear the Word of God, receive his body and blood, pray for those in need,

and ask God’s blessing on those who seek healing and wholeness through Christ our Lord. Let us pray.

(*) PRAYER OF THE DAY P: Great God our healer, by your power the Lord Jesus healed the sick and gave hope to the

hopeless. As we gather in his name, C: look upon us with mercy and bless us with your healing Spirit. P: Bring us comfort in the midst of pain, strength to transform our weakness, C: and light to illuminate our darkness. P: We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, C: our crucified and risen Lord, P: who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C: Amen. (*) HYMN OF PRAISE LSB 821 (st.5) Alleluia! Sing to Jesus; His the scepter, His the throne; Alleluia! His the triumph, His the victory alone. Hark the songs of peaceful Zion Thunder like a mighty flood: “Jesus out of ev’ry nation Has redeemed us by His blood.” (Please be seated.)

SCRIPTURE READINGS L: The Old Testament Reading for the Eighth Sunday After Pentecost is from Psalm sixty-

three. 1 You, God are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. 2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. 3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. 4 I will praise you as long as I live, and in your

name I will lift up my hands. 5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you. 6 On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. 7Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. 8 I cling to you; your right hand upholds me. 9 Those who want to kill me will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth. 10 They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals, 11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God will glory in Him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced. Psalm 63 NIV L: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. L: The Epistle Reading is from the eighth chapter of Romans. 31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died —more than that, who was raised to life —is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:31-39 NIV L: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. (Please stand to sing.) (*) ALLELUIA AND VERSE

(*) HOLY GOSPEL L: The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew, the thirteenth chapter. C: Glory to you, O Lord. 44 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. 45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. 47 "Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. 48 When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. 49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50 and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 51 "Have you understood all these things?" Jesus asked. "Yes," they replied. 52 He said to them, "Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old." Matthew 13:44-52 NIV L: This is the Gospel of the Lord. C: Praise to you, O Christ. (Please be seated.) CHILDREN'S MESSAGE (Parents, please feel free to come forward with smaller children.) (Thursday/Saturday) HYMN “Jesus, Name of Wondrous Love”........... LSB 900, stanzas 1,3,5,6 (Sunday) HYMN “Better Is One Day” (The verses are displayed on the screen in front of church) SERMON “Living the Psalms” -- Psalm 63

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him! All that has life and breath, come now with praises before Him! Let the Amen, sound from his people again; Gladly forever adore Him!

(*) 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. He descended into hell. 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.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

(*) PRAYERS P: Great God our healer, by your power, the Lord Jesus healed the sick and gave hope to the

hopeless. In his name and for his sake, C: look upon us with mercy and bless us with your healing Spirit. P: Bring us comfort in the midst of pain, strength to transform our weakness, C: and light to illuminate our darkness. P: Grant your healing grace to all who are sick, injured, or disabled, . . ., that they may be

made whole; Lord, in your mercy, C: hear our prayer.

We Respond To God’s Word

P: Grant to all who are lonely, anxious, or despondent, the awareness of your presence; Lord, in your mercy,

C: hear our prayer. P: Mend broken relationships, and restore those in emotional distress to soundness of mind

and serenity of spirit; Lord, in your mercy, C: hear our prayer. P: Bless physicians, nurses, and all others who minister to the suffering; grant them wisdom

and skill, sympathy and patience; Lord, in your mercy, C: hear our prayer. (special intercessions.) P: Bless all who seek your healing presence in their lives. In their suffering draw them

more deeply into the mystery of your love, that following Christ in the way of the cross they may know the power of his resurrection; who lives and reigns forever and ever.

C: Amen. All: 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.

(*) THE WORDS OF OUR LORD P: Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had

given thanks, He broke it and gave it to the disciples and said: “Take, eat; this is My body, which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me.”

In the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He had given

thanks, He gave it to them, saying: “Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

(*) PAX DOMINI P: The peace of the Lord be with you always.

Too Many Medications?? Over use of Opioids?? Polypharmacy, or the use of too many medications, is a growing issue – especially as the “Baby Boomer” population ages. Here are some quick facts on medication use among seniors: As our nation’s senior population increases, citizens

are also living (and thriving) with a wider variety of health conditions. Many older adults are diagnosed with multiple health conditions, each of which may require several medications to keep the individual healthy.

Almost half of all older adults take one or more unnecessary medications.

Consequences of polypharmacy include: **Increased health care costs

**Increased risk for adverse effects and interactions between medications **Increased chance of people not adhering to their prescribed medication regimen Communication with your doctor and your pharmacist is the key to preventing polypharmacy. Please make sure your health care providers know which drugs (both prescribed and over the counter) you are taking. You should also be aware of which medications you are taking and why you are taking them. Your health care providers can help you to be sure that you are only taking the medications that you need. Maher, R.L. (2013 September 27). Clinical consequences of polypharmacy in elderly. Retrieved from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3864987.

LIFE QUOTES “The more we humans have learned about life, the more we’ve expanded technology, medicine, and prenatal skill, we still allow a philosophy of human autonomy that places personal preference over life… Personhood begins at conception.
