Welcome & CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
|
All may make the sign of the cross, the sign that is marked at
baptism, as the presiding minister begins. Blessed be the holy Trinity, one God, the keeper of the covenant, the source of steadfast love, our rock and our redeemer. Amen. God hears us when we cry, and draws us close in Jesus Christ. Let us return to the one who is full of compassion. |
Silence is kept for reflection.
Fountain of living water, pour out your mercy over us. Our sin is heavy, and we long to be free. Rebuild what we have ruined and mend what we have torn. Wash us in your cleansing flood. Make us alive in the Spirit to follow in the way of Jesus, as healers and restorers of the world you so love. Amen. |
Beloved, God’s word never fails.
The promise rests on grace; by the saving love of Jesus Christ, the wisdom and power of God, your sins are forgiven, and God remembers them no more. Journey in the way of Jesus. Amen. |
O God, rich in mercy, by the humiliation of your Son you lifted up this fallen world and rescued us from the hopelessness of death. Lead us into your light, that all our deeds may reflect your love, through Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit one God, now and forever. Amen.

Church council Installation
P: The following persons have been elected by Glory Lutheran Church to positions of leadership: (The names and offices of all council members are read)
In Holy Baptism our Lord Jesus Christ liberated you from sin and death and made you members of his Church. Through Word and Sacrament you have been nurtured in faith. I ask you, together with all who are participating in this online service, to confess the faith of the Church, the faith in which we are baptized.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s 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 to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
P: St. Paul writes: There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit gives them. There are different ways of serving, but the same Lord is served. There are different abilities to perform service, but the same God gives to everyone the ability for particular service. The Spirit’s presence is shown in some way in each person, for the good of all. (1 Cor. 12:4-7)
You have been elected to positions of leadership and trust in this congregation. You are to see that the words and deeds of this household of faith reflect the one in whose name we gather. You are to work together with other members to see that the worship and work of Christ are done in this congregation, and that God’s will is done in this community and throughout the world. You are to be diligent in your specific area of service, so that the Lord who empowers you may be glorified. You are called to be examples of faith, active in love, and help maintain the life and harmony of this congregation.
On behalf of your sisters and brothers in Christ, I ask you: Are you ready to accept and faithfully to carry out the duties of the offices to which you have been elected?
Response: Yes, by the help of God.
P: (to the congregation) People of God, will you support these your elected leaders, and will you share in the mutual ministry that Christ has given to all who are baptized?
Response: Yes, by the help of God.
P: I now declare you installed as officers and council members of this congregation. God bless you with his Holy Spirit, that you may prove faithful servants of Christ.
The Peace of the Lord be with you!
Response: And also with you.

The Lord's Prayer
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,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
