PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord of all power and might, Author and Giver if all good things, graft in our
hearts the love of your name, increase in us true religion, nourish us with all goodness, and bring forth in us
the fruit of good works; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Deuteronomy 4:1–2, 6–9
1
“And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the
rules that I am teaching you, and do them, that you
may live, and go in and take possession of the land
that the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
2
You shall not add to the word that I command you,
nor take from it, that you may keep the command-
ments of the LORD your God that I command you...
6
Keep them and do them, for that will be your
wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the
peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will
say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and
understanding people.’
7
For what great nation is there
that has a god so near to it as the LORD our God is to
us, whenever we call upon him?
8
And what great
nation is there, that has statutes and just decrees so
righteous as all this law that I set before you today?
9
“Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest
you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and
lest they depart from your heart all the days of your
life. Make them known to your children and your
children’s children…
This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Ephesians 6:10–20
10
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength
of his might.
11
Put on the whole armor of God,
that you may be able to stand against the schemes
of the devil.
12
For we do not wrestle against flesh
and blood, but against the rulers, against the au-
thorities, against the cosmic powers over this pre-
sent darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in
the heavenly places.
13
Therefore take up the whole
armor of God, that you may be able to withstand
in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
14
Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of
truth, and having put on the breastplate of right-
eousness,
15
and, as shoes for your feet, having put
on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
16
In
all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with
which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of
the evil one;
17
and take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of
God,
18
praying at all times in the Spirit, with all
prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert
with all perseverance, making supplication for all
the saints,
19
and also for me, that words may be giv-
en to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim
the mystery of the gospel,
20
for which I am an am-
bassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I
ought to speak.
This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
(sung) Alleluia. Lord, to whom shall we go? You
have the words of eternal life. Alleluia, alleluia.
The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark, the seventh
chapter. (sung) Glory to You, O Lord.
Mark 7:14–23
14
And he called the people to him again and said to
them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand:
15
There is
nothing outside a person that by going into him can
defile him, but the things that come out of a person are
what defile him.”
17
And when he had entered the
house and left the people, his disciples asked him
about the parable.
18
And he said to them, “Then are
you also without understanding? Do you not see that
whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile
him,
19
since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and
is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
20
And
he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles
him.
21
For from within, out of the heart of man, come
evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder,
adultery,
22
coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality,
envy, slander, pride, foolishness.
23
All these evil
things come from within, and they defile a person.”
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
(sung) Praise to You, O Christ.

St. Peter's School Tuition
Assistance Needed
On behalf of St. Peter's congregation I have made a
commitment to assist a couple of our church member
families with help for tuition to keep their children
here at our grade school. To date I am in need of
$4,000 for the 2018-2019 school year. As of right we
have approximately $2,900. If you can help with
this over the school year please let me know how
much and please place your gift in the offering
marked "Pastor Pantry" as I will use this fund
to help our member families. Together we can make
a difference by caring about the souls of the little
children entrusted into our care.
Building Project
Thank you for your donations, the balance remaining for
the project is $12,000. The flat roof over the church and
school offices needs to be replaced. Bids have been
requested and the cost of the project will be approximate-
ly $33,000. This is not a budgeted item and relies on
contributions designated to the roof. The Endowment
Board has been voted to support the project by donating
$18,500. Prayerfully consider donating to this much
needed project. Either note on your envelope or use
separate envelope marked “Roof Project”

clarity into one of the most well-loved passages in
all of Scripture. Fall in love all over again through
