What are podcasts?

Podcasts allow an Internet user to receive audio files and listen to them from a computer or load them onto an MP3 player.

How do I use them?

To listen directly from our website, you can simply click the play button on the worship you want to hear. If you want to download and store or listen to the audio on your computer or MP3 player, you'll need podcasting software, such as Juice or iTunes , both of which are free.

Once you've downloaded and installed the software, you may be able to simply click the podcasting link above and your software may do the rest. If clicking on the link doesn't work for you, copy the podcast link and manually add it to your player. After that, your podcasting software will automatically download any new MP3s from our website to your computer so you can load them onto your MP3 player and listen at your convenience.

Welcome to Worship at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church

PRELUDE "Go to Dark Gethsemane" R. Readhead

(Please prepare for worship through quiet reflection and meditation)

CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS

P: Friends in Christ, in this Lenten season we have heard our Lord's call to intensify our struggle against sin, death, and the devil -all that keeps us from loving God and each other. This is the struggle to which we were called at baptism. Within the community of the church, God never wearies of forgiving sin and giving the peace of reconciliation. On this night let us approach the table of our Lord confident that our sins are forgiven, our guilt removed through the suffering, death and resurrection of Christ. It is this faith that moves us to sing:

GATHERING HYMN "Jesu, Jesu, Fill Us with Your Love" ELW 708

P: God, who is rich in mercy, loves us and makes us alive with Christ. By grace you have been saved. In the name of + Jesus Christ, your sins are forgiven. Almighty God strengthen you with power through the Holy Spirit, that Christ may live in your hearts through faith.
C: Amen.

P: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
C: And also with you.

P: Holy God, source of all love, on the night of his betrayal, Jesus gave us a new commandment, to love one another as he loves us. Write this commandment in our hearts, and give us the will to serve others as he was the servant of all, your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

C: Amen
