Living in and for the Living Lord St

Living in and for the Living Lord St. Peter Worship at Key to Life Saturday, May 24, 2014

Welcome to St. Peter! We welcome you to the house of the true and living God for worship. Our services this Sixth Week of Easter encourage us to live for and to live in our risen Lord Jesus. He comes to us this morning with his body and blood in the Sacrament of the Altar to forgive our sins and to empower us to live for him. On this Memorial Day weekend we also thank God for all those who have served or are serving currently in the armed forces.

Welcome to St. Peter! There are friendship registers at the end of each row of chairs. Please take a moment to give us your information so that we have a record of your time with us today. Thank you!

For Our Guests If you have questions, let us try to help. Speak with an usher, greeter, or the person next to you. If you’d like to learn more about St. Peter and its ministry, please talk to a pastor or member after the service.

OUR COMMUNION PRACTICE In the Sacrament of Holy Communion, Jesus gives us his true body and blood. We express unity with our Savior and those who share our faith and stand on the teachings of God’s Word. Therefore, we invite to our altar those who are members of our church or the WELS. Visitors and guests who wish to commune are asked to speak to a pastor before the service begins.

On this Memorial Day weekend, we take this opportunity to thank you for your dedicated service to our country to preserve the freedoms we enjoy this day. May God bless you all.

Psalm #66 (Spoken) Pastor: Shout with joy to God all the earth! All: Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious!

Pastor: Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of His praise be heard. All: He has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.

Pastor: Come and listen, all you who fear God; Let me tell you what He has done for me. All: If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;

Pastor: But God has surely listened All: And heard my voice in prayer. All: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
