OF CONFESSION
O God, when we resist the endless insistence of a child; the contrary
voice of a youth; the uninvited advice of an elder . . . open our hearts to the
surprising voices who speak your word to us.
O God, when we diminish the contributions of people from different
cultures; people speaking different languages; those we condemn by their
association with a certain religion, politic, income, and appearance . . . open
our hearts to the surprising voices who speak your word to us.
O God, when we shut out opinions of dissent; voices that challenge;
those who would lead us in a new way . . .
open our hearts to
the surprising voices who speak your word to us. (Time of silent prayer.)
WORDS OF ASSURANCE
Jesus said those who receive the ones he
sends receive the Christ. In our confession God hears us and forgives us and
the Spirit opens our hearts to receive the reign of God in our midst.
Thanks be to God!
*PASSING OF THE PEACE Please introduce yourself
and extend the peace of Christ to those around you.

After
this the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them on ahead of him in pairs to every town and
place where he himself intended to
go. He said to them, “The harvest is
plentiful, but the laborers are
few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
Go on your way. See, I am sending you out like lambs into the
midst of wolves. Carry no purse, no bag, no
sandals; and greet no one on the road.
Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this
house!’ And if anyone
is there who shares in peace, your peace will rest on that person; but if not,
it will return to you. Remain in the
same house, eating and drinking whatever they
provide, for the laborer deserves to be paid.
Do not move about from house to
house.
Whenever you enter a town and its people welcome you,
eat what is set before you; cure the sick who
are there and say to them, ‘The
you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go
out into its
streets and say, ‘Even the dust of your town that
clings to our feet,
we wipe off in
protest against you. Yet know this: the
“Whoever
listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me, and whoever rejects me
rejects the one who sent me.”
The
seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, in your name
even
the demons submit to us!” He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like a flash of
lightning. See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and
scorpions, and over all the power
of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you.
Nevertheless, do not rejoice
at this, that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
