Before Service Prayer: O Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, You have brought us safely to this new day. Defend us with Your mighty power, and grant that this day we neither fall into sin nor run into any kind of danger; and in all we do, direct us to what is right in Your sight, through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord. Amen.
As We Gather: A WORD OF ACCOMPLISHMENT. There's a sense of satisfaction to accomplishing a task. When the homework is done the student may say, "Thank goodness I'm done." The little kid who has the assignment of eating all the vegetables on her plate, when finished, may declare, "I'm finished. I'm ready for ice cream."
Jesus came into this world, taking on human flesh in order the live and die in our place. His job was to accomplish salvation. Is that work finished, or do we need to add something to what Jesus has done? Tonight, Jesus Himself will answer that question.
Tonight's Service: This evening we will use a style of music developed near the village of Taize' in France. It consists of short meditative passages of Scripture set to simple melodies and repeated many times. The purpose of the repetition is to give us time to reflect and internalize the truths of these words of Scripture.
Our goal as we gather at our mid-week Lenten services, is to find quiet, meditative time, so that we can escape the hustle and bustle of our busy lives, to hear of Jesus and to sing His praise and address Him in prayer. May the Lord bless us as we worship Him in prayer, meditation, and praise!
Thank you to Pastor Bramdeo Ramgolam who served as our guest preacher this evening. Pastor Ramgolam is the pastor at Lord and Savior Lutheran Church in Crystal Lake, IL.
