First Reading: Colossians 1:15-20

Response to Reading: Word of God, Word of life, Thanks be to God.
Psalm: 15 (Read Responsively)
O Lord, who may abide in your tent?
Who may dwell on your holy hill?
Those who walk blamelessly and do what is right
and speak the truth from their heart;
who do not slander with their tongue
and do no evil to their friends
nor heap shame upon their neighbors;
in whose eyes the wicked are despised
but who honor those who fear the Lord;
who stand by their oath even to their hurt;
who do not lend money at interest
and do not take a bribe against the innocent.
Those who do these things shall never be moved.
Gospel Acclamation: Lord, Let My Heart Be Good Soil ELW #512
Gospel: Luke 10:35-42

Our Father in Heaven hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom Come, your will be done, On Earth as in Heaven.
Give us today our daily bread, forgive us our sins as we forgive, those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours,
Now and forever,
Amen.

Almighty God,
we thank you for the gift of your holy word.
May it be a lantern to our feet,
a light upon our paths,
and a strength to our lives.
Take us and use us
to love and serve all people
The Word of life which was from the beginning
we proclaim to you.
The darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining;
the Word of life which was from the beginning.
That which we heard, which we saw with our eyes,and touched with our hands,
we proclaim to you.
For our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
The Word of life, which was from the beginning,
we proclaim to you. Amen
