Commencement Service Pictorial & Call Service

May 19, 2001

MARTIN LUTHER COLLEGE, New Ulm, Minnesota

Message from the President Dear Family and Friends of Martin Luther College, The faculty, staff, and students of MLC welcome you to your college of ministry at this exciting time. This morning we welcome you to our graduation service at 10:00 a.m. in the Luther Student Center gymnasium. We ask your prayers that the Lord will bless each and every graduate from MLC with his protecting hand as they leave these halls of ivy and follow the direction in which the Lord leads them. They are the future of the church. This afternoon we welcome you to the Call Service at 2:30 p.m., again in the Luther Student Center gymnasium. We ask your prayers that the Lord of the church will use and bless those assigned as gifts of the church. Pray that He will protect and guide them as he sends them to proclaim the gospel wherever he takes them. Yes, it is an exciting time at MLC. We pray that all will be edified by the Word as it is declared at both services and that our lives will be impacted by the Lord's Word and presence. We thank the parents of the graduates for giving their children for the Lord's service and know they shall be blessed because of it. "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24).

Leader: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, People: So that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. Leader: Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. Not that we are competent to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.

People: He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant- not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. Leader: Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. People: And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

Prayer Leader: Jesus, Master Teacher, how precious are the words you speak to us. From the storeroom of your wisdom you bring us treasures of your truth. And chief among these is your heavenly Father's plan of salvation which you revealed to us by your teaching and life. People: You have exalted us to be members of your kingdom now and forever. Leader: The words you have taught us- they are spirit and they are life. People: Forgive us for letting the cares and concerns of this life distract us from your teaching. Give us hearts which cling to your word as the one thing needful. Amen.
