bitten, when he sees it, shall live.” Numbers 21:8
AS WE GATHER The cross is not some incidental part of the story of
God's love for us. The cross IS the place where that love is revealed most
of all. The love of God cannot be told without the cross and where the
cross is raised up; God will draw all people unto Himself. As Jesus was
lifted up on the tree of the cross, so are we lifted up by that tree, raised up
from our death and sin through Christ's forgiveness. This is our glory and
comfort and this is the message that God has given to us to proclaim to the
world.
THE WELCOME AND OPENING PRAYER
If there are prayer concerns for you, your family, your friends, or your neighbors,
please put them on the blue information card. Our Board of Elders are prayerful with
our pastors about these joys and struggles of our earthly journey.
“The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” James 5:16b
THE RINGING BELL CALLS US INTO THE PRESENCE OF JESUS,
OUR PASSOVER LAMB
*DIVINE SERVICE - SETTING THREE*
THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN “Beneath the Cross of Jesus”
(We cheerfully rise and sing)
Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand,
The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land;
A home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat, And the burden of the day.
1

Upon that cross of Jesus Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me;
And from my smitten heart with tears Two wonders I confess –
The wonders of his glorious love And my unworthiness.
I take, O cross, thy shadow For my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of His face;
Content to let the world go by, To know no gain or loss,
My sinful self my only shame, My glory all the cross.
THE INVOCATION
P In the name of the Father and of the † Son and of the Holy Spirit.
C Amen.
THE HOLY BAPTISM OF JERRICK ZANDER NICKERSON LSB 268 11:00
Dearest Jesus, Jerrick take, Shepherd take thy lamb and feed him,
Prince of Peace make here Thy throne, Way of life, to heaven lead him.
Precious Vine, let nothing sever, From Thy side this branch forever!
Lord, into Thy heart we pour, Prayers that from our hearts proceeded;
Our petitions heavenward soar; May our warm desires be heeded!
Write this name we now have given; Write it in the book of heaven.
THE CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION
PP P P O almighty God, merciful Father,
C I, a poor, miserable sinner, confess unto You all my sins and iniquities with which I
have ever offended You and justly deserved Your temporal and eternal punishment.
But I am heartily sorry for them and sincerely repent of them, and I pray You of
Your boundless mercy and for the sake of the holy, innocent, bitter sufferings and
death of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to be gracious and merciful to me, a poor,
sinful being.
[We pause for silent confession to confess those specific sins, which may be troubling us
this day.]
PP P P Upon this your confession, I, by virtue of my office, as a called and ordained servant of
2

C
the Word, announce the grace of God unto all of you, and in the stead and by the
command of my Lord Jesus Christ I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father
and of the + Son and of the Holy Spirit. [John 20:19-23]
Amen.
THE KYRIE “Lamb of God, Pure and Holy” LSB 434 Verse 1
Lamb of God, pure and holy, Who on the cross didst suffer,
Ever patient and lowly, Thyself to scorn didst offer.
All sins Thou borest for us, Else had despair reigned o’er us:
Have mercy on us, O Jesus! O Jesus!
THE SALUTATION (Spoken)
P The Lord be with you.
C And also with you.
THE COLLECT
Every morning we see the signs of Your grace and mercy, O Lord. Every day You clothe, feed,
and protect us. Though we do not deserve Your kindness, You do not cease to show us Your
love. Help us to acknowledge Your kindness and look to the love revealed on the cross; through
Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and forever. Amen.

THE SERVICE OF THE SACRAMENT

Our Communion Liturgy – The Communion Liturgy during Lent is from
“Divine Service – Setting Three.” This service is based on the “page 15” of the 1941 “The
Lutheran Hymnal” generally referred to as “TLH.” Some of you will remember it well, for many;
this is brand new. We will use this service for the Communion Services of Lent.

THE 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 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.
THE BENEDICTION (With Sung Amens)

The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you.
The Lord look upon you with favor and † give you peace.
THE RECESSIONAL HYMN "May We Thy Precepts, Lord, Fulfill" LSB 698
Lenten Notes – The season of Lent is 40 days long excluding the Sundays “in”
Lent…This parallels the 40 days of temptation of Jesus in the wilderness…During
Lent the joyful alleluias and the cheerful Hymn of Praise is not generally
sung…the cross is draped to commemorate Christ’s death…the statue on
the Altar is from our 1938 church and will remain until the Sunday following the
Ascension…we generally do not place flowers on the Altar during Lent, which helps us
appreciate the bright fragrant blooms of the Easter morning lilies…Lent is a time to devote more
time to our devotions…Lent is a good time to give something up if it helps us focus on Christ’s
passion, suffering and death for our sins…Lent is also a good time to take something up, a new
discipline, more prayer, a project to help others… the Hymns tend to be minor key Hymns which
reflect the soberness of the Season;
may God richly bless your Lenten Journey.
Welcome to Faith Evangelical Lutheran on this Fourth Sunday in Lent! We are delighted to
have you in worship with us. If you are visiting from out of town, we bid you welcome and Godspeed
on your journey. Should you be from our community, and have no church home, we invite
you to make Faith your church home. Greeting you this morning:

brings us strength and forgiveness to be about His vision and mission. Those confirmed
Lutherans who come to the Sacrament of the Altar today are asked to read the communion side of
our information card found in the pew rack and to sign the bottom of the reverse side so that our
communion records might be complete.
Holy Baptism This morning at our 11:00 service Jerrick Zander Nickerson
will be Baptized. He is the second born son of Gary & Kadie Nickerson.
Sponsors for Jerrick are Kelsey Hughes and Lafe Gildemaster. May God
richly bless Jerrick and his family.

Next Sunday there are two special Hong Kong moments:
First, there will be a presentation about the February trip to Hong Kong. The
Board of Missions and Evangelism will be sharing treats immediately following
the 8:20 service
Second, as a big thank you the Hong Kong crew will be serving Buffalo Burgers
at noon to all who show up as a huge thank you for all you did as a congregation
to assist in sending our team to Hong Kong.

It is for children ages infant through 5 year olds.

Haiti As part of the recovery effort for Haiti, the LCMS in
partnership with the Haitian Lutheran Church has taken on a
model that not only provides housing, churches, and medical
care but also strives to build the faith community of our partner
church in Haiti.
Last Lent we provided funding for two homes and
through our LWML partial funding for a church in the
community of Beaudrouin.
Facilities in the three Lutheran Villages were dedicated in January of this year.
This Lent we intend to fund a third home in the community of Beaudrouin. The cost of
the two-bedroom home with a bathroom is $10,000.
How will we fund this home?
o We will designate all of our Wednesday evening offerings.
o We also encourage those who might miss a Wednesday to designate extra gifts for the
project on Sundays.
o We are 66% of our way toward our goal after our three Wednesday Lenten offerings of
$6, 672.77. Thank You!
When we hit the $10,000 mark all Midweek offerings will then go to the General Fund as
they normally would. If there are designated gifts that still come in, we will ask Synod
how they would be used, for there is also a need for community buildings such as
schools.
Forever Young This Wednesday, March 21 is Forever Young. It will
be our St. Patrick’s Day celebration. It is potluck. If you would like to
bring some corned beef and cabbage, that would be great! How many hot
dishes and salad will have green in them? We will see!
Palm Crosses On Friday, March 30 starting at 9:00 a.m. we need many,
many hands to put the Palm Crosses together for Palm Sunday. Pastor will
bring the doughnuts. See you on Friday, March 30 at 9:00 a.m.!

this study lead by Karen Lindbloom. In this study, participants will learn about many of the great
women that God shows us in His Word by studying their weaknesses and strengths, trials and
triumphs. Above all, participants will see God in His abundant grace as He forgives, sustains, and
inspires.
Wednesday Morning Men’s Study This group meets at 7:00 a.m. in the Young Conference
room and they are studying “Proverbs.” Proverbs seeks to teach us that the foundation of wisdom
is the fear of the Lord; seeks to teach us wise living through righteousness and justice; wants us to
learn wisdom in family life and how to relate wisely to all people; and wants us to recognize the
value of instruction, rebuke, advice, and discipline.

Food drive at Faith in March
Keep an eye out for specials at the grocery store, because
March is Faith's month to collect items for the Pierre-Ft.
Pierre Food Pantry. The need is particularly crucial this
year, as usage at the Pantry almost doubled in 2011. The
increase was due in part to expanded need during the
flooding last summer, but the agency continues to see higher numbers than usual. The Faith
congregation is one of the largest supporters of the agency, so this food drive is very important.
All types of nonperishable food, paper products, and personal hygiene products are needed by
the agency. Of particular need at this time:
Baked Beans
Peaches
Cereal
Pears
Chili
Pork & Beans
Chunky soups
Potato mixes
Cooking Oil
Saltine crackers
Cream soups (mushroom, celery, chicken) Spam/Treet
Evaporated milk
Spaghetti sauce
Flour
Stuffing
Fruit cocktail
Sugar
Fruit juices
Syrup
Helpers (hamburger and tuna)
Tomatoes (diced or whole)
Oatmeal
Tomato Sauce
Pancake mix
Tuna
Also, for the 15 th consecutive year, the Feinstein Foundation will divide $1 million among hunger
15

fighting agencies nationwide using it to help them raise funds during March and April, 2012.
Donations made from March 1 to April 30 th , 2012 to the Pierre – Ft. Pierre Food Pantry
and/or the BackPack Food Program will be counted towards the challenge. Donations can
include cash, pledges, checks and food items (counts as $1 per pound collected). Financial
donations should be made out to Pierre Area Referral Service (or PARS). Please write
"Feinstein Food Challenge" on your check. Checks may be mailed to PARS - 2520 E.
Franklin - Pierre, SD 57501 -or- they may be left in the cash donation box that will be set out
with the food collection boxes in the Narthex throughout the month of March. We will deliver
the donations to the Pantry on Friday, March 30 at 9:30 a.m. We need many hands,
