WELCOME
P The love of God poured into our hearts, the saving grace of Jesus Christ, and the abundant life
of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
C: And also with you.
OPENING PRAYER
P: O God, rich in mercy, full of kindness, out of your great love, you raise us up from sin and
death and make us alive together with Christ. Write your word upon our hearts and restore in
us the image of your love that, by your Spirit, our way of life may become the way of Christ,
through whom we pray.
C: Amen
OPENING HYMN In the Cross of Christ I Glory
3Please stand for the reading of the Gospel
GOSPEL: John 10: 1-10
1
Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by
another way is a thief and a bandit. 2The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the
sheep. 3The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own
sheep by name and leads them out. 4When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of
them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5They will not follow a stranger,
but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers." 6Jesus used this
figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
7
So again Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8All who
came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep did not listen to them. 9I am the gate.
Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. 10The thief
comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it
abundantly.
FULL IMMERSION (series of skits)
Episode One: “I Have a Question”
CONCLUDING PRAYER
P: Good and gracious God, by our baptism into the death and resurrection of your Son, Jesus
Christ, you turn us from the old life of sin. Grant that we who are reborn to new life in him
may live in righteousness and holiness all our days, through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
C: Amen.
P: Remember us in your kingdom and teach us to pray
C 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.
4HYMN: All Depends on Our Possessing
BLESSING
P: Christ Jesus dwell in our hearts through faith, as we are being rooted and grounded in love,
strengthened by the Spirit, and filled with all the fullness of God.
C: Amen.
