OPENING HYMN “What Wondrous Love is This” (LSB543)
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul!
When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.
To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb, Who is the great I AM,
While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing,
While millions join the theme, I will sing.
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on.
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing His love for me,
And through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
And through eternity I’ll sing on.
INVOCATION
Pastor: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
People: Amen.
Pastor: Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!
People: How unsearchable His judgments and how inscrutable His
ways!
All: For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things and
to Him be glory forevermore.
CONFESSION and ABSOLUTION
Pastor: Let us confess our sins to God and seek His forgiveness.
3
(Silence for reflection)
Pastor: Holy God,
People: all things come from You and all things return to You; we,
Your sinful creatures, cry to You for mercy and beg Your
forgiveness. We have sinned against You in thought, word,
and deed; in the things we have done wrong and in the good
we have failed to do. Without Your aid we are dead in
trespasses and sin. Yet Your steadfast love taught our hearts
to hope and gave to us Your only Son to be our Savior. We
call upon You, O Lord, to grant us the mercy for which Your
Son suffered and died, that we might be forgiven of our sins
and restored by Your grace to be Your own children. Amen.
Pastor: Almighty God, our heavenly Father, has had mercy upon us and
given to us His only Son to suffer and die for our salvation. As a
called and ordained servant of Christ and by His authority, I
therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
People: Amen. Thanks be to God.
Pastor: May He who began this good work in you bring it to completion on
the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. Peace be with you.
People: And also with you.
[Please be seated]
HYMN OF PRAISE “The Lord, My God, Be Praised” (LSB794) V 1, 4
The Lord, my God, be praised, My light, my life from heaven;
My maker, who to me Has soul and body given;
My Father, who will shield And keep me day by day
And make each moment yield New blessings on my way.
The Lord, my God, be praised, My God, the ever-living,
To whom the heav’nly host Their laud and praise are giving.
The Lord, my God, be praised, In whose great name I boast,
God Father, God the Son, And God the Holy Ghost.

trust in You, strengthen our faith and give us courage to
believe that in Your love You will rescue us from all
adversities; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who
lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now
and forever. Amen.
BELLS OF TRINITY “My Lord What a Morning”
THE WORD
OLD TESTAMENT Genesis 9:8-17
Reader: The Old Testament Reading for the ninth Sunday after
Pentecost is from the 9th chapter of Genesis.
Reader: After the judgment of the Flood, God reminds Noah and his family
(and us) of His enduring love by putting a rainbow in the sky.
Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: "I now establish my covenant
with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that
was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came
out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. I establish my covenant
with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again
will there be a flood to destroy the earth."
And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and
you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I
have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between
me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow
appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all
living creatures of every kind.
Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the
rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting
covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." So
5God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant I have established between
me and all life on the earth."
Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
PSALM Psalm 136:1-9
Reader: We read responsively the Psalm of the day.
Reader: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love
endures forever.
People: Give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love
endures forever.
Reader: Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his steadfast love endures
forever;
People: to him who alone does great wonders, for his steadfast love
endures forever;
Reader: to him who by understanding made the heavens, for his
steadfast love endures forever;
People: to him who spread out the earth above the waters, for his
steadfast love endures forever;
Reader: to him who made the great lights, for his steadfast love endures
forever;
People: the sun to rule over the day, for his steadfast love endures
forever;
Reader: the moon and stars to rule over the night,
People: for his steadfast love endures forever;
6EPISTLE Ephesians 3:14-21
Reader: The Epistle is from the third chapter of Ephesians.
Reader: Paul's prayer for the Ephesians, and our prayer for Trinity, is that
we will all grow stronger and deeper in faith, grasping His love more and
more. All glory to God!
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven
and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may
strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ
may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and
established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how
wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that
surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness
of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,
according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and
in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

7HOLY GOSPEL Mark 6:45-56
Pastor: The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark, the sixth chapter.
People: Glory to You, O Lord.
Pastor: Love is the fulfillment of God's Law. Jesus fulfilled the Law by
loving us and dying to take away our sins. Our response is to love God and
love our neighbor.
Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him
to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. After leaving them, he went up on a
mountainside to pray. When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the
lake, and he was alone on land. He saw the disciples straining at the oars,
because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he went
out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, but when they
saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out,
because they all saw him and were terrified.
Immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."
Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were
completely amazed, for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts
were hardened.
When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there. As
soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. They ran throughout
that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was.
And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick
in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his
cloak, and all who touched him were healed.
Pastor: This is the Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise to You, O Christ.

He sent forth Jesus And set me free. [Refrain]
Jesus, my Savior, Himself did offer;

SERMON
“I’ll Tell You Everything I’ve Learned” 1 John 4:7-12 Pastor Dan Kelm
[Please stand]
CONFESSION OF FAITH: APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy
Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,
died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again
from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God
the Father Almighty. From thence he will come to judge the living and the
dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of
saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen

HYMN “Where Charity and Love Prevail” (LSB845) v1-5
Where charity and love prevail There God is ever found;
Brought here together by Christ’s love By love are we thus bound.
With grateful joy and holy fear His charity we learn;
Let us with heart and mind and soul Now love Him in return.
Forgive we now each other’s faults As we our faults confess,
And let us love each other well In Christian holiness.
Let strife among us be unknown; Let all contention cease;
Be God’s the glory that we seek; Be ours His holy peace.
Let us recall that in our midst Dwells Christ, His only Son;
As members of His body joined We are in Him made one.

gone by, let us boldly come before His throne of grace for

(Silence for prayer)
Merciful Lord, You established Your Church through the blood of
Your Son, endowed her with the riches of Your Word and
Sacraments, led her by Your Spirit, and guaranteed the gates of
hell shall not prevail against her. Give us courage and confidence
in Your guidance, in Your presence, in Your protection, and in
Your promise. Lord, in Your mercy,
People: hear our prayer.

People: hear our prayer.

us in times of emergency and who care for us in illness and injury.

Lord, in Your mercy,
People: hear our prayer.

SACRAMENT
The Lord's Supper is a gracious gift instituted by Jesus Christ for the forgiveness
of sins and as a means of receiving God’s grace. We believe that in the holy
supper, the true body and blood of the Savior, along with the bread and wine,
comes to us. We are encouraged by Jesus to commune frequently and God tells
us through St. Paul that we must examine ourselves in preparation for a worthy
reception of the sacrament. This includes a confession of our sins, a
proclamation of our faith, and a determination to lead a more godly life in the
future. If you also acknowledge your sinfulness and your need for a Savior, and
recognize Christ’s physical presence in the bread and wine, we invite you to join
us at the Lord’s table.
12PREFACE
Pastor: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
Pastor: Lift up your hearts.
People: We lift them to the Lord.
Pastor: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People: It is right to give Him thanks and praise.
PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
Pastor: Lord of Glory, You created all things and still sustain them; without
You nothing would exist--- even our very selves. Yet because of
our sin and our rebellion, we were left distant from You and captive
to death. In Your great mercy You sent forth Your only Son into
the womb of the virgin, to be born among us as one of us yet
without sin, to suffer and die the death for sin that we should have
died, and to rise to new life for us. In Him we have been reborn to
life and through baptism we are Your own children. Guard Your
Church for which Christ died and each of us as members of her,
that sustained by Your grace we may be faithful in word and
action.
People: Amen.
WORDS OF INSTITUTION
Pastor: Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when He was betrayed, took
bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to
the disciples and said: "Take, eat; this is My body, which is
given for you. This do in remembrance of Me."
In the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He
had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying: "Drink of it, all of
you; this cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed
for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink
it, in remembrance of Me."
Pastor: For as often as we eat of this bread and drink of this cup, we
proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.
People: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
13Pastor: Remembering what He has accomplished to grant us the gifts of
forgiveness, life, and salvation, we pray You to dwell among us
through Your Word and Spirit, and to keep us faithful that when
He does come in His glory, He may find us faithful.
People: Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
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 trespasses as we forgive those
who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver
us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen
PEACE OF THE LORD
Pastor: The peace of the Lord be with you always.
People: And also with you
[Please be seated]
AGNUS DEI
O Jesus Christ, true Lamb of God,
You take the sin of the world away;
O Jesus Christ, true Lamb of God,
Have mercy on us, Lord, we pray.
O Jesus Christ, true Lamb of God,
You take the sin of the world away;

DISTRIBUTION HYMNS “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling” (LSB700) v 1, 4
Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heav’n, to earth come down!
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter ev’ry trembling heart.
Finish then Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee,
Changed from glory into glory, Till in heav’n we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise!
“Jesus Christ, Our Blessed Savior” (LSB627) v 1,2,4,10
Jesus Christ, our blessèd Savior,
Turned away God’s wrath forever;
By His bitter grief and woe
He saved us from the evil foe.
As His pledge of love undying,
He, this precious food supplying,
Gives His body with the bread,
And with the wine the blood He shed.
Praise the Father, who from heaven
To His own this food has given,
Who, to mend what we have done,
Gave into death His only Son.
Let this food your faith so nourish
That its fruit of love may flourish
And your neighbor learn from you
How much God’s wondrous love can do.
15“Surely The Presence”
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place;
I can feel His mighty power and His grace.
I can hear the brush of angels’ wings; I see glory on each face.
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place. (Repeat)

us and with Your Word and Sacraments that You have given
us this day. With these gifts You equip us as Your people to

THANK YOU PASTOR DAN FOR 40 YEARS
OF MINISTRY- Today we celebrate with
Pastor Dan and Rachel in giving praise and
thanks to God for the 40 years of ministry and
the many lives they have touched through the
sharing of the Gospel. Thank you for the
dedication you have for the truth of God’s Word, the passion you have for the
preaching of God’s Word, and the mission heart you have for sharing God’s Word
with the people or all nations. It is our prayer the Lord will continue to bless you
as you enter this new season of life and retire in North Carolina. ”As the Master
replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant!’”(Matthew 25:23)
NEW ADDRESS FOR
Pastor Dan & Rachel Kelm:
22 Mahan Lane
Waynesville, NC 28786
18THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW BIBLE STUDY-Several years
ago, the members of Trinity participated in a video Bible study
called “That The World May Know.” It was well attended, and
people commented that they learned many things that helped
them to understand the Bible and its message in context. This
summer, we have the opportunity to continue that study. We invite you to join
us every other Wednesday, to grow stronger and deeper in our faith. We
will gather in the fellowship hall for the video and discussion AT 4:00 pm, then
join together for a meal at 5:00 pm. We hope you’ll join us! The Greek culture of
New Testament times conflicted with the message that the Apostle Paul
proclaimed to those who chose to follow Jesus. In the same way, the church
today is called to proclaim the gospel in every environment, showing the world
what it looks like when we give our lives to Jesus.

HELP NEEDED- Thank you to all the faithful
Volunteers who have given their time to deliver cups
to our first-time visitors. We are now looking for
additional help to assist them delivering cups to
visitors!! We really need someone who is familiar
with Belleview and Lady Lake area (historic side of our
wonderful Villages) and south of 466A is becoming more active. However, all
areas need help. This is a wonderful way to meet people while serving our Lord
by welcoming them to Trinity. Please call/text me: Sandy Starr 352-561-
6141 If you have recently indicated your interest, please tell me again as we are
bringing our information up to date after a long year away. Blessings to you with
thanks in advance for your consideration.
PERFUME ALLERGIES/SENSITIVITIES: Did you know that some
people are sensitive or allergic to strong scents? Strong aftershave and
scented lotions can even cause asthma symptoms for some
people. Please be sensitive to this and use perfumes lightly.
FOR A CHUCKLE –
A teacher asked her Sunday school class to draw pictures of their favorite
Bible stories. She was puzzled by Kyle’s picture, which showed four
people on an airplane. She asked him which story it was meant to represent.
“The Flight to Egypt,” was his reply. Pointing at each figure the teacher said,
“That must be Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus, but who’s the fourth person?”
Kyle replied, “Oh, that’s Pontius – the pilot!”
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK –
“Change keeps occurring throughout all of life. Sometimes it brings joy,
and sometimes it brings strife. Change what you should; but you still have
a voice – how you accept every change is your choice.” – Peggy Ferrell, Prayers
and Poems

Christianity is the only religion of the world to insist that reconciliation with the
creator cannot ever be accomplished by our performance. Only through the
revelation of a Savior, who would be the substitute sacrifice for all of our
wrongdoing and make us right with God, can we finally overcome our sense of
separation from the Almighty.
This is a gift and promise of life that we rejoice in and share with Christians
around the world. We share with all Christians the desire that everyone would
come to know Jesus and experience a life under “new management” – the grace
and purpose of God.
Trinity is a member of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. We enjoy a
blessed confessional heritage of Biblical Christianity with over 65 million
Lutherans around the world and over 7 million Lutherans in the U.S. alone. What
we know and believe comes only from the Bible, which is God’s inspired Word.
While the Bible is certainly our guide for holy living, the primary purpose of the
Bible is to reveal Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
We believe every Sunday at Trinity Lutheran Church is a “little Easter”, a
celebration of the resurrection of our Lord. We celebrate the sacrament of the
Lord’s Supper every Sunday in both worship services. We believe the
forgiveness and strength of faith we are promised through receiving the very
body and blood of Christ is so greatly needed by all of God’s people, for we are
truly a community of wounded healers. For a Christian Church to be anything
else than a place of common fellowship and unity and a source of strength for
our fragile faith is to fail its God-ordained purpose and intent.
Our pastors would like to be of service to you in any way they can. Feel free to
call the church office or speak with Pastor Dan or Pastor Blair directly if you wish
to find out more about the church or have more personal needs of a spiritual
nature.
