The Opening Prayer (In Unison)
O God of heaven and earth,
look upon us now with mercy and grace. Enter our hearts and make us holy.
Be our Shepherd, and guide us in your ways, that we may no longer wander alone.
Hear our cries, forgive our sins, and gather us to yourself that
we may one with each other through the power of your Holy Spirit.
Welcome us home, we pray through Christ’s holy name.
Amen.
Hymn “Dear Jesus, in Whose Life I See” (#468)
Dear Jesus, in whose life I see
all that I would, but fail to be,
let thy clear light forever shine,
to shame and guide this life of mine.
2.
Though what I dream and what I do
in my weak days are always two,
help me, oppressed by things undone,
O thou whose deeds and dreams were one!
Sharing of Joys, Prayers, and Concerns
Pastoral Prayer (Rev. James Nenninger)
Scripture I Psalm 4
1. Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer.
2. How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame ? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods ? Selah
3. Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD will hear when I call to him.
4. In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. Selah
5. Offer right sacrifices and trust in the LORD.
6. Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.
7. You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound.
8. I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
Scripture II Luke 24:36-48
36. While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."
37. They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.
38. He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds?
39. Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have."
40. When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
41. And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
42. They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
43. and he took it and ate it in their presence.
44. He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."
45. Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.
46. He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
47. and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48. You are witnesses of these things.
Leader: The Word of God for the people of God.
People: Thanks be to God.
Message Rev. Sean Kang
“The Last Class”
Hymn “Jesus Loves Me” (#191)
Jesus loves me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak, but He is strong
Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me The Bible tells me so
3.
Jesus loves me still today,
Walking with me on my way
Wanting as a friend to give
Light and love to all who live
Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me The Bible tells me so
Offering Prayer
The Dismissal with Blessing

People: I will touch one of the least of brothers and sisters!
Leader: You are my witness.
People: I will be a sincere witness of your forgiveness!
Leader: Go now in peace with our Lord.
All: Amen!
