PRAYER OF THE DAY

Let us pray. A brief silence is kept before the prayer.

God of love, giver of life, you know our frailties and failings. Give us your

grace to overcome them, keep us from those things that harm us, and guide

us in the way of salvation, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.

Amen.

FIRST READING Ezekiel 18:1-4, 25-32 1The word of the LORD came to me: 2What do you mean by repeating this

proverb concerning the land of Israel, “The parents have eaten sour grapes,

and the children’s teeth are set on edge”? 3As I live, says the Lord GOD, this

proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel. 4Know that all lives are

mine; the life of the parent as well as the life of the child is mine: it is only

the person who sins that shall die.

25Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is unfair.” Hear now, O house of

Israel: Is my way unfair? Is it not your ways that are unfair? 26When the

righteous turn away from their righteousness and commit iniquity, they

shall die for it; for the iniquity that they have committed they shall die. 27Again, when the wicked turn away from the wickedness they have

committed and do what is lawful and right, they shall save their life. 28Because they considered and turned away from all the transgressions that

they had committed, they shall surely live; they shall not die. 29Yet the

house of Israel says, “The way of the Lord is unfair.” O house of Israel, are

my ways unfair? Is it not your ways that are unfair?

30Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, all of you according to

your ways, says the Lord GOD. Repent and turn from all your

transgressions; otherwise iniquity will be your ruin. 31Cast away from you

all the transgressions that you have committed against me, and get

yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of

Israel? 32For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, says the Lord GOD.

Turn, then, and live.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

PSALM Psalm 25:1-9

1To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.

2My God, I put my trust in you; let me not be put to shame,

nor let my enemies triumph over me.

3Let none who look to you be put to shame;

rather let those be put to shame who are treacherous.

4Show me your ways, O LORD, and teach me your paths.

5Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; in

you have I trusted all the day long.

6Remember, O LORD, your compassion and love,

for they are from everlasting.

7Remember not the sins of my youth and my transgressions; remember me

according to your steadfast love and for the sake of your goodness, O LORD.

8You are gracious and upright, O LORD;

therefore you teach sinners in your way.

9You lead the lowly in justice and teach the lowly your way.

SECOND READING Philippians 2:1-13 1If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any

sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, 2make my joy complete:

be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one

mind. 3Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard

others as better than yourselves. 4Let each of you look not to your own

interests, but to the interests of others. 5Let the same mind be in you that was

in Christ Jesus, 6who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard

equality with God as something to be exploited, 7but emptied himself, taking

the form of a slave, being born in human likeness.

And being found in human form, 8he humbled himself and became

obedient to the point of death— even death on a cross. 9Therefore God also

highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, 10so that

at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and

under the earth, 11and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

12Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not only in

my presence, but much more now in my absence, work out your own

salvation with fear and trembling; 13for it is God who is at work in you,

enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL Matthew 21:23-32

The holy gospel according to Matthew. Glory to you, O Lord. 23When [Jesus] entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the

people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority are you

doing these things, and who gave you this authority?” 24Jesus said to them, “I

will also ask you one question; if you tell me the answer, then I will also tell

you by what authority I do these things. 25Did the baptism of John come from

heaven, or was it of human origin?” And they argued with one another, “If we

say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 26But if we say, ‘Of human origin,’ we are afraid of the crowd; for all regard

John as a prophet.” 27So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And he said

to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

28“What do you think? A man had two sons; he went to the first and said,

‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ 29He answered, ‘I will not’; but later

he changed his mind and went. 30The father went to the second and said the

same; and he answered, ‘I go, sir’; but he did not go. 31Which of the two did

the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell

you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God

ahead of you. 32For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did

not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him; and

even after you saw it, you did not change your minds and believe him.”

The gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, O Christ.

The Luther Men will provide their special anthem at the Sunday Service. Invite your family and friends to attend this Annual Hymn Sing and enjoy hearing and singing those long-loved songs of yesteryear! MONTHLY MISSION SPECIAL OFFERING: Home. That’s what hundreds of residents call it. They live purposefully, meaningfully, and they age gracefully. Their lives are full and enriched. This is a place of quality and choice. This is home. But what if Carroll Lutheran Village didn’t exist? As a not-for-profit continuing care retirement community, Carroll Lutheran Village knows that it takes a village to care. Our philanthropy program serves residential need throughout the Village including:

*Financial subsidy provided to residents who are experiencing financial shortfall *Capital and major needs, which may include facility maintenance and development, equipment, or special programming demands *Where the need is greatest – providing flexibility to the donor and to the Village

COFFEE HOUR: The October 8th coffee hour will be hosted by Immanuel’s Sunday School. Sunday School children will be making ice cream sundaes. We will also have baked goods as another option for you to enjoy! MINISTRY FAIR: Our two big goals from the congregational survey are to improve communication within and outside the congregation and to increase involvement by all our members in the church’s ministries.

Held during the Coffee Hour, the Ministry Fair will help all our members to learn about the full range of ministries and activities at Immanuel and how they can get involved. Our congregational ministries, including Christian Education and Youth, Worship and Music, Stephen Ministry, Mutual Ministry, Fellowship, Social Ministry, Keeping in Touch (visitation ministry), Faith Health Network (hospital ministry) and more will have displays describing their activities and opportunities for people to serve. You can visit the displays, speak to a representative, and sign up to participate in whatever ways best fit your individual abilities and interests. Please mark your calendars and join us in the Social Hall next Sunday!

PASTOR CHARLIE’S OCTOBER BIBLE CHALLENGE: PAUL’S LETTER TO THE ROMANS

Pastor Charlie is bumping up the challenge level for the month of October, as we prepare to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. Martin Luther believed Paul’s letter to the Romans to be the most important book of the Bible and one that all Christians should know by heart. Accept the challenge and read through Romans with Pastor Charlie and others. Not an easy read, but very rewarding! The online Bible Study will continue with daily comments from Pastor Charlie on Facebook. Email him at pastorc@ielcmd.org if you would like to join this private group, or if you would like to receive copies via email of the comments he posts there each day.

Martin Luther Exhibit The Walter’s Art Museum in Baltimore has an exhibit on display from now through the end of October titled, “Uncertain Times: Martin Luther’s Remedies for the Soul”.

(DE-MD Synod E-Letter)

Project Linus National is collecting handmade blankets to help the families impacted by Hurricane Harvey in Texas, and Hurricane Irma in

Florida. The Carroll County Chapter is 100% non-profit, 100% volunteer. Their purpose is to provide a "handmade hug" in the way of a security blanket to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need. The local Carroll County chapter set a goal to send 1,000 blankets to the TX and FL areas. Immanuel’s Workday Group completed 7 quilts while in the Social Hall on Monday and working on projects at home. You can add to our numbers - if you have any quilts that you would like to donate, then bring to church as soon as possible. Any questions, please contact Audrey Shaffer.

GIVE TO HURRICANE RELIEF

During the past weeks the U.S. and the Caribbean have been struck by multiple devastating hurricanes, most especially Harvey in Texas and Louisiana and Irma in the Caribbean and Florida. More recently, Hurricane Maria has caused major damage to Dominique and Puerto Rico. As a church, we’re standing by our neighbors who have been affected as they begin the long road to recovery. Lutheran Disaster Response’s affiliates are collaborating with community leaders and government officials to respond. Please give now to support this response.

You can give to hurricane relief through Lutheran Disaster Response (www.ldr.org) or double your gift if you are a Thrivent member (www.thrivent.com/making-a-difference/living-generously/disaster-response).

You can also give by cash or check made out to Immanuel Lutheran Church and placed in an appropriately marked pew envelope.

To give to the hurricane response where funds are needed most, write “Hurricanes” on your envelope. To give directly to relief efforts for Hurricane Irma, write “Irma” on your envelope.

Your gifts will be used entirely (100 percent) for direct response. No matter how much you give financially, please keep all those affected in your prayers. When we learn of opportunities to send mission teams to participate in relief and recovery efforts, we will let you know.
