Processional Hymn - 598 - O God Beyond All Praising
O God beyond all praising,
we worship you today
And sing the love amazing
that songs cannot repay;
For we can only wonder
at every gift you send,
At blessings without number
and mercies without end:
We lift our hearts before you
and wait upon your word,
We honor and adore you,
our great and mighty Lord.
Then hear, O gracious Savior,
accept the love we bring,
That we who know your favor
may serve you as our king;
And whether our tomorrows
be filled with good or ill,
We'll triumph through our sorrows
and rise to bless you still:
To marvel at your beauty
and glory in your ways,
And make a joyful duty
our sacrifice of praise.

Liturgy of the Word
First Reading - Jer. 1:4-9
The word of the LORD came to me thus:
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you.
“Ah, Lord GOD!” I said, "I know not how to speak; I am too young.”
But the LORD answered me,
Say not, “I am too young.”
To whomever I send you, you shall go;
whatever I command you, you shall speak.
Have no fear before them, because I am with you to deliver you, says the LORD.
Then the LORD extended his hand and touched my mouth, saying,
See, I place my words in your mouth!
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 16
R: You are my inheritance, O Lord. You are my inheritance, O Lord.
O LORD, it is you who are my portion and cup;
you yourself who secure my lot.
I keep the LORD before me always;
with him at my right hand,
I shall not be moved.
R: You are my inheritance, O Lord. You are my inheritance, O Lord.
And so, my heart rejoices, my soul is glad;
even my flesh shall rest in hope.
For you will not abandon my soul to hell,
not let your holy one see corruption.
R: You are my inheritance, O Lord. You are my inheritance, O Lord.
You will show me the path to life,
the fullness of joy in your presence,
at your right hand, bliss forever.
At your right hand, bliss forever.
R: You are my inheritance, O Lord. You are my inheritance, O Lord.

Second Reading - 2 Cor. 4:14-20
A reading from the second letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians
Brothers and sisters,
The love of Christ impels us, once we have come to the conviction that one died for all; therefore all have died.
He indeed died for all, so that all who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
Consequently, from now on we regard no one according to the flesh; even if we once knew Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no longer.
So whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.
And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting their trespasses against them and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
(please stand)
Gospel Acclamation
R: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Whoever serves me must follow me, says the Lord; and where I am, there also will my servant be.
R: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Gospel - Luke 10:1-9
Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.
Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to Luke.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while making a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).
The Lord Jesus appointed seventy-two disciples whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit.
He said to them,
"The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.
Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.
Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way.
Into whatever house you enter,
first say, 'Peace to this household.'
If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves payment.
Do not move about from one house to another.
Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you,
cure the sick in it and say to them,
'The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.'"
The Gospel of the Lord.
ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Liturgy of the Eucharist
Offertory Hymn - ‘Tis the Gift
‘Tis the gift to be simple,
‘tis the gift to be free.
‘Tis the gift to come down where
you ought to be,
and when we find ourselves in the
place just right
‘twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
to bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed;
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right.
2. ‘Tis the gift to be gentle,
tis the gift to be fair.
‘Tis a gift to wake and breathe
the morning air,
and ev’ry day to walk in the path we choose,
‘tis the gift that we pray we may
ne’er come to lose.
3. ‘Tis a gift to be loving,
‘tis the best gift of all,
like a quiet rain it blesses where it falls;
and if we have the gift, we will truly believe,
‘tis better to give than it is to receive.
Text: Joseph Brackett, Jr., 1797-1882

Recessional Hymn - You Walk Along Our Shoreline
1. You walk along our shoreline
Where land meets unknown sea.
We hear your voice of power,
"Now come and follow me.
And if you still will follow
Through storm and wave and shoal,
Then I will make you fishers
But of the human soul."
2. You call us, Christ, to gather
The people of the earth.
We cannot fish for only
Those lives we think have worth.
We spread your net of gospel
Across the water's face,
Our boat a common shelter
For all found by your grace.
3. We cast our net, O Jesus;
We cry the kingdom's name;
We work for love and justice;
We learn to hope through pain.
You call us, Lord, to gather
God's daughters and God's sons,
To let your judgment heal us
So that all may be one.
