SERMON: Lent Begins With Someone Special
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 3:1-17
RESPONSIVE READING—Psalm 8
Leader: O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is Your name in all the earth. You have set Your glory above the heavens.
Everyone: Out of the mouths of babes and infants You have founded a bulwark because of Your foes, to silence the enemy and the avenger.
Leader: When I look at Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars that You have established;
Everyone: What are human beings that You are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?
Leader: Yet You have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honor.
Everyone: You have given them dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under their feet,
Leader: All sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
Everyone: the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas
Leader: O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH: PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISSI
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
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 debts as we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen
