Remembrance of the Saints - Time for Prayer Hymn #422 “For All the Saints” (v. 1, 5, 6, & 7 ELW) The Apostles’ Creed - Page 105 I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s 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 to the dead. On the third day he rose again, he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen The Prayers of The Church Offering

Sharing of the Peace Postlude “O God, Our Help in Ages Past” G. Young FOR ALL THE SAINTS We are remembering today “All the Saints” of First English who passed away since last All Saints Sunday. We are also remembering those who were not members but who were commended to God’s grace at their death. All of these names will be included in the Remembrance Prayer. SPEAKER SYSTEM for the hearing impaired is available. Please speak to one of the ushers. OUR HYMN BOARDS show the hymn numbers being sung today. They are found in the back portion of the Evangelical Lutheran Worship red book. The front portion of the book containing the liturgies and resources are noted by page numbers at the bottom of each page. We use “Holy Communion,” Setting 4 today beginning on page 147. IN HOLY COMMUNION we believe that Christ is truly present in the bread and wine forgiving our sins. We welcome you to such a table of presence and forgiveness. Martin Luther said: “That person is well prepared and worthy (to receive Communion) who believes these words, ‘given and shed for you for the remission of sins.’ If you cannot drink the wine, it is appropriate to receive just the bread, or just touch the glass of wine to one’s lips, also glasses of white grape juice are placed in the middle of the tray. Younger children are invited to come forward to receive a blessing. PLEASE FILL OUT a visitor or member card found in the pews. Place the nametag on your lapel and the card in the offering plate. We are blessed to have Christian friends from other places and

congregations visiting at worship today.
