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. We ask your prayers that the Lord will bless all MLC graduates with his protecting hand as they 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 our graduation and call services, and that the Lord's Word and presence will enrich and strengthen us. We thank the parents of the graduates for guiding and giving their children into 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).

Choral Response: "God Is My Salvation"

Sermon: Joshua 1:9

Onward, Christian Soldiers I. Your marching orders are clear. II. Your preparation has been superb. III. Your victory is already assured.

Hymn: "Onward Christian Soldiers" Please stand for the singing of the hymn. I. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. Christ, the royal master, Leads against the foe; Forward into battle See his banners go! Refrain: Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. 2. Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus Constant will remain. Gates of hell can never 'Gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, And that cannot fail. Refrain 3. Onward, then, ye faithful; Join the happy throng, Blend with ours your voices In the triumph song; Glory, laud, and honor Unto Christ the King; This through countless ages Saints and angels sing.

The Class Hymn: "Lord, You I Love with All My Heart" The congregation will join in singing the hymn as noted. Class

Lord, you I love with all my heart; I pray you ne'er from me depart With tender mercies cheer me. Earth has no pleasure I would share; Heaven itself were void and bare If you, Lord, were not near me. And should my heart for sorrow break, My trust in you no one could shake. You are the treasure I have sought; Your precious blood my soul has bought. Lord Jesus Christ, My God and Lord, my God and Lord, Forsake me not! I trust your Word.

Class

Lord God, 'twas your rich bounty gave My body, soul, and all I have In this poor life of labor. Lord, grant that I in ev'ry place May glorify your lavish grace And serve and help my neighbor. Let no false doctrine me beguile; Let Satan not my soul defile. Give strength and patience unto me To bear my crosses willingly. Lord Jesus Christ, My God and Lord, my God and Lord, Forsake me not! I trust your Word.

People

Lord, let at last your angels come; To Abram's bosom bear me home That I may die unfearing. And in its narrow chamber keep My body safe in peaceful sleep Until your reappearing. And then from death awaken me That my own eyes with joy may see, 0 Son of God, your glorious face, My Savior and my Fount of grace. Lord Jesus Christ, My prayer attend, my prayer attend, And I will praise you without end.

Stand

Stand 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.
