Introduction

Rooted in the past and growing into the future, the church must always be reformed in order to live out the love of Christ in an ever-changing world. We celebrate the good news of God’s grace, that Jesus Christ sets us free every day to do this life-transforming work. Trusting in the freedom given to us in baptism, we pray for the church, that Christians will unite more fully in worship and mission.

Prayer of the Day

Almighty God, gracious Lord, we thank you that your Holy Spirit renews the church in every age. Pour out your Holy Spirit on your faithful people. Keep them steadfast in your word, protect and comfort them in times of trial, defend them against all enemies of the gospel, and bestow on the church your saving peace, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Confession and Forgiveness

Blessed be the holy Trinity, ☩ one God, who is eager to forgive and who loves us beyond our days. Amen. Dear friends, together let us acknowledge our failure to love this world as Jesus does.

God of mercy and forgiveness, we confess that sin still has a hold on us. We have harmed your good creation. We have failed to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with you. Turn us in a new direction. Show us the path that leads to life. Be our refuge and strength on the journey, through Jesus Christ, our redeemer and friend. Amen.

Beloved of God: your sins are forgiven ☩ and you are made whole. God points the way to new life in Christ, who meets us on the road. Journey now in God’s abiding love through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Sunday Morning Worship

All Saints Lutheran Church is a congregation of people called by God to ignite passion for Jesus and transform their neighborhoods with hope and love. We believe all are welcome. Really, everyone. All kinds of people, in all walks of life, call All Saints home.

Worship at All Saints might look and feel a little different. We carefully and prayerfully select a worship theme each season, and we choose songs and liturgical elements that help communicate that theme and bring us closer to God and to one another.

All worship services are offered in-person in the sanctuary or via Facebook Live on the church’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/allsaintsdavenport.

The worship service can be watched at a later time on the church’s Facebook newsfeed or on the church’s YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS2ArtcS2DWdwFD1gYXSBng/featured.

Assisted Listening Devices are available next to the soundboard for your convenience.

Theme for the Season of Pentecost – Autumn / November

We are called to be your disciples; Refresh our hearts in Christ

Discipleship is a journey that leads us closer to God. Through the example of Jesus Christ, we are shown that discipleship is a calling. Following Jesus’ inspiring demonstration of love and sacrifice, we can see that responding to God’s call can be both costly and joyful.

In living out the calling of our vocations and avocations, as students, leaders, creatives, and workers, we can seek out ways to follow God more closely. In our everyday lives and work, we can seek out the ways that God calls us to be lights in the darkness, helpers to those in need, stewards of creation, and laborers in the harvest.

Each Sunday, as we gather for worship, we encounter God in new and numerous ways. We are strengthened by God’s love, shown to us in word and sacrament. Our hearts are refreshed in the love and power of Jesus Christ, drawing us closer to one another in community. We are called to be God’s disciples, and our hearts are refreshed and renewed in Christ’s love.
