Scripture Reading
1 Timothy 2:1–4 - I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
STP KIDS Dismissal
STP KIDS is the Children’s Ministry at St. Peter’s Edina, designed for all children from 6 months to 10 years old (Grade 5). Older children are welcome to participate as helpers.

Action Step
“How may I pray for you?”
The Lord’s Prayer
Pastor: Jesus taught His disciples to pray. Our homes should be places of prayer where we are privileged to call upon and bring glory to the name of our Lord and Savior. We also do so here, in Gods house, as we pray together:
All: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Pastor: After Jesus rose from the dead He ascended into heaven. We celebrate that our Lord Jesus Christ completed His earthly work and returned to the right hand of the Father. To God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit we ascribe our praise.:
All: For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Pastor: What does this mean?
All: God tenderly invites us to believe that He is our true Father, and that we are His true children, so that with all boldness and confidence we may ask Him as dear children ask their dear father.
Confession & Forgiveness
Pastor: Heavenly Father, we do not always pray as we ought. Help us to speak our truth and to listen for your forgiveness:
When we pray, “Our Father” but forget to embrace all people as your children…
When we say, “Your kingdom come” without working for your kingdom on earth…
When we ask for our daily bread, but do not recognize it as your gift…
When we request forgiveness for ourselves, but fail to pardon others…
When we plead not to be led into evil, but walk willingly into temptation…
Pastor: Please join me in confessing:
All: Heavenly Father, forgive me. Help me to pray, that I may be transformed by Your renewing power. Through prayer may I find refreshment in your love, grace, and forgiveness… all gifts of our Father in heaven. Amen.
Pastor: Brothers and Sisters in Christ, hear these words regarding prayer: “Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you.” Know that God longs to hear your prayer as a Father hears His child. Believe the good news of the gospel: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. (Matthew 7:7)
Communion
The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod holds the Biblical teaching that in Communion we receive the true body and blood of Jesus Christ with the bread and wine for the forgiveness of sins. If you are a baptized Christian who has been instructed in the Biblical teaching of the real presence of the Christ in this meal and grace through faith in Christ, and if you agree with our confession of faith, please join with the fellowship of disciples in Holy Communion.
“Everyone should examine themselves first, and then eat the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself.” (1 Corinthians 11:28-29)
Blessing
