Fifth
Sunday
in Lent
March 22, 2015
8:30 & 11:00 am
Welcome Visitors
We welcome all who worship with us today.
Here are some notes about our congregation and our facility to help you feel
at home among us.
Nursery A staffed nursery is available for children from birth through age
5 on the sanctuary level down the hall past the drinking fountain. Please
sign your child in and out of nursery care. Usually parents gather their
children before communion so that they can come to the Table together. An
usher will be glad to direct you.
Restrooms are located on the sanctuary level just past the library. In addition to Men’s and Women’s rooms there is also a Family room with a
changing table.
Count Me In Form is that little slip of paper in your worship folder. We
ask all worshipers to complete this each week. Special prayer requests may
be made on the back of the form and if there are special “sign ups” you can
do that on the back. Place it in the offering plate as it is circulated during
the service.
Grace Station is an outreach of the church office available every Sunday
morning. Office Manager Christina Bogar is there to provide information
about our church and to receive information such as address, phone or
email changes, prayer requests and news about illness or hospitalizations. Current newsletters and program information are located there.
Look for the “check in desk” in the church gathering area.
Check out the Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church website at www.prlc.org for
more information on our congregation, our ministries and many opportunities for service and study.
Join us again! We worship every Sunday at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. and would
be honored to have you join us for worship again, soon, and often.

Gathering
PRELUDE
8:30
For God So Loved the World
Chicago Mass Choir
WELCOME
CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
All may make the sign of the cross, the sign marked at baptism, as the
presiding minister begins.
Blessed be the holy Trinity, + one God,
who brings us out of captivity into freedom,
out of the wilderness into the promised land,
out of death into life.
Amen.
Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one
another.
Silence for reflection
Gracious God,
we confess that we have sinned
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done
and by what we have left undone.
Forgive us and give us strength
to turn from sin
and to serve you in newness of life.
Amen.
God gathers us in Lent
to turn our gaze toward
Jesus. We do so by
acknowledging the
ways we have separated ourselves from God.
More importantly, we
hear the good news of
forgiveness that brings
life, healing, and the
assurance that nothing
will separate us from
the love of God.
The Kyrie we are using
during Lent is adapted
from the liturgy of the
first worship book used
at Phinney: The
Lutheran Hymnary,
published in 1913. This
kyrie was a very
familiar part of the
beginning of each
worship service from
1915 until 1958.
3
By water and the Holy Spirit,
God gives us a new birth,
and through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,
+ God forgives us all our sins.
Almighty God strengthen us in all goodness
and keep us in eternal life.
Amen.
PRAYER OF THE DAY
O God, with steadfast love you draw us to yourself,
and in mercy you receive our prayers.
Strengthen us to bring forth the fruits of the Spirit,
that through life and death we may live in your Son,
Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
Amen.

God promises a new
house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant that I

But this is the covenant that I will make with the house
of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put my
law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and
they shall be my people. No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each
other, "Know the LORD," for they shall all know me, from the least of them to
the greatest, says the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember
their sin no more.
Holy wisdom, holy word.
Thanks be to God.
PSALM 119:9-16
SECOND LESSON: Hebrews 5:5-10
So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him,
"You are my Son,
today I have begotten you";
as he says also in another place,
"You are a priest forever,
according to the order of Melchizedek."
In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud
cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was
heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a Son, he learned
obedience through what he suffered; and having been made perfect, he became
5
the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, having been designated by
God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
Holy wisdom, holy word.
Thanks be to God.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
plac
GOSPEL: John 12:20-33
The Gospel according to John.
Glory to you, O Lord.
Now among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. They came to Philip, who was
from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we
wish to see Jesus." Philip went and told Andrew; then
Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to
be glorified. Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of
wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a

and rising and the

single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it,
and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever
serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor.
Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say — 'Father, save me from
this hour'? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify
your name." Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again." The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder.
Others said, "An angel has spoken to him." Jesus answered, "This voice has
come for your sake, not for mine. Now is the judgment of this world; now the
ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth,
will draw all people to myself." He said this to indicate the kind of death he
was to die.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, O Christ.

Begräbneslied
Bury the body in its grave
until the judge’s voice calls!
We sow it, and it will bloom
some day and ascend,
transfigured, unto God.
Bury my perishable bones,
O you who are still merely
mortal!
They will not remain in the
grave, for Jesus will come

O sacrificial Lamb! May
your death strengthen us in

Let our entire soul be yours
and let our end be joyful!
OFFERTORY PRAYER
Let us pray.
God our provider, you have not fed us with bread alone, but with words of grace
and life. Bless us and these your gifts, which we receive from your bounty,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
THE GREAT THANKSGIVING
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
It is indeed right, our duty and our joy, that we should at all times and in all
places give thanks and praise to you, almighty and merciful God, through our
Savior Jesus Christ. You call your people to cleanse their hearts and prepare
with joy for the paschal feast, that renewed in the gift of baptism, we may come
to the fullness of your grace. And so, with all the choirs of angels, with the
church on earth and the hosts of heaven, we praise your name and join their
unending hymn:

SANCTUS
10
Blessed are you, Lord of heaven and earth.
In mercy for our fallen world you gave your only Son,
that those who believe in him should not perish
but have eternal life.
We give thanks to you for the salvation
you have prepared for us through Jesus Christ.
Send now your Holy Spirit upon this meal and into our
hearts,
that we may receive our Lord with a living faith
as he comes to us in this holy supper.
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
This prayer is based
upon a Eucharistic
prayer in the Lutheran
Book of Worship (the
green book) that Phinney, along with many
North American Lutheran churches, began to
use in 1978. It echoes
the themes of the Gospel for the Fourth Sunday in Lent and the
mystery of God’s selfgiving love.
In the night in which he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus
took bread, and gave thanks;
broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take and eat; this is my body, given
for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.
Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it for all to drink,
saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood, shed for you and for all
people for the forgiveness of sin. Do this for the remembrance of me.
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.
BREAKING OF THE BREAD AND INVITATION

Prayer Vigil
Each year, our congregation gathers in prayerful support of its candidates for baptism and affirmation. Those
who will be baptized or affirmed at the Easter Vigil are
held in prayer for a period of
24 hours from the end of the
Good Friday service until the
Easter Vigil begins at 6:30 on
Saturday.
Persons who join the prayer vigil sign up for a half-hour
segment of prayer time, and are given a
guide for their half hour of prayer that
includes brief biographies of the candidates, their prayer requests, and prayer
16
needs for the local and global church. Prayer time is
done in one’s own home,
office, or a setting of one’s
choice. There is no need to
be at the church in the “wee
hours” in order to participate.
A sign-up sheet is currently at Grace Station on
Sunday mornings in the narthex. Please consider joining
the 45 or so others who will
be a part of this seamless chain of conversation with our Creator for the good of
the parish and the world.

Adult Forum This Morning
Being a Lutheran Today, part 3
This morning in the Tree of Life Room between services at 10 am
Dr. Michael Trice, Assistant Professor and Assistant Dean at Seattle University School of Theology and Ministry, will lead us in
the third of a three-part conversation about 'Being a Lutheran
Today.' This morning we'll discuss
the questions that challenge us
today amidst a religiously pluralistic world. Join us for presentation and discussion.
Adult Forum Next Week: The Grounds at PRLC
You have probably noticed the new landscaping surrounding the
church. This is just phase one. Come to find out what will be happening this summer and how you can help! Members Joel Maier and
Scott Radford will lead this forum on what’s next with the Phinney
grounds, including a new rain garden, new plantings and more.
Usher Training takes place this morning at 10:00 AM. All ushers, new and old, are encouraged to attend this training to welcome new ushers and refresh important skills. Ushers are
a VITAL part or Phinney’s hospitality, both to members and to visitors. The role of the usher
is often underestimated in its importance. Good ushers are “people-persons” who make
people coming into the church feel welcome and appreciated. In doing so, ushers contribute
greatly to making everyone’s church experience a positive one. People of all ages are welcome to and encouraged to serve. This includes teenagers and even younger children who
serve with a parent. Ushers are trusted members of the community who accept peoples
offerings, welcome them to the holy meal, and watch over the service to assist with any
need a worshipper may have. Come join us in the sanctuary at 10 am if you are interested
in joining this important ministry.
Vacation Bible School will take place June 22-26 and it takes many hands (and hearts and
minds) to plan and prepare for annual event and you are invited to be part of this experience. All adults and teens interested in joining this team of dreamers and preparers can
sign up today on Count Me In.

Do you play a band instrument? Are you looking for an opportunity to play with others? We
are looking for a group of children and adults to form an all-ages band for our end of the
year BfJ picnic on May 20th . Interested? Sign up today on Count Me In (and please note
what instrument you play).
Wednesday Evening Spirited Women Group Forming: Are you a woman interested in gathering together each week for fellowship and faith exploration through study of books and other curriculums, media, thoughtful reflection, discussion and prayer? Would you be interested in joining a new evening group of Spirited Women? Please check the Count Me In Form.
Have you noticed all the tulips, and daffodils coming up around the church grounds this
spring? A few hours last fall of placing compost and planting bulbs is all it took. They are so
wonderful to see now. Our first group efforts this spring will take place at the end of the
month. Please spread the word; we'd like to be overwhelmed with support. Got kids? Bring
them too.
Please join Scott Radford, Joel Maier and others from 10:00 noon to 2:00 PM on Saturday March 28th. We'll do a little pruning, weeding, and talk gardening. Please bring gloves,
and wear good sturdy shoes. Caffeine and pizza provided. Please sign up on the Count Me

Easter is soon approaching, and we hope you and your guests will join us that morning for
Easter breakfast in the fellowship hall. Serving time will be from 8:30AM till 11:00AM.
Scrambled eggs, ham, cinnamon rolls, fresh fruit, juice and coffee will be awaiting you.
Jeff Hendrix and Ken Roscoe are also looking
for volunteers to help with set-up, serving and
clean-up of this event. We especially need help
with the Saturday setup (April 4, 9am to 11am) and
the Sunday cleanup (April 5, 11am to 1:30pm). You
can sign up on the “Count Me In” form, and we will
call you to discuss available duties. (Be sure to
include your phone number!)
We usually serve around 300 people and would
really appreciate your help in making this event
happen. Proceeds from the breakfast will go to the
PRLC Outreach Fund.

Commemorations and Festivals for the Week
Sunday, March 22, 2015
Jonathan Edwards, teacher, missionary to American Indians, died
1758
A Puritan minister in Connecticut,
Edwards is remembered as being a
great preacher. Though his most
famous sermon talks at length
about hell, he was more concerned
with God's love. He served both as
missionary to the Housatonic people in Massachusetts, and as president of the future Princeton University.
Tuesday, March 24
Óscar Arnulfo Romero, Bishop of El Salvador,
martyr, died 1980
Romero was deeply concerned with injustices
evident toward the poor and powerless in El
Salvador, and worked forthrightly against
political repression. He was assassinated while
presiding at the eucharist in a chapel near the
cathedral in San Salvador.
Wednesday, March 25
Annunciation of Our Lord
Nine months before Christmas we
celebrate the annunciation, in
which the angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would
give birth to the Son of God. The
ancient church believed that this
was also the date of the world's
creation and of Jesus' death on the
cross.
Sunday, March 29
Hans Nielsen Hauge, renewer of the church,
died 1824
Hauge was a layperson who wished to revitalize the church in Norway. As a result of a
mystical experience, he felt called to preach.
Many professionals in the church feared his
motives and influence, and he was imprisoned
for leading unauthorized gatherings.
