Commencement Service Pictorial & Call Service

May 14, 2005

MARTIN LUTHER COLLEGE, New Ulm, Minnesota

Message from the President Dear Family and Friends of Martin Luther College, What an exciting time to be on the campus of MLC, your college of ministry. Another generation of heralds graduate and we implore the Lord of the Church to hold his protecting hand over them as they follow his lead to wherever it is he will take them. May they, prepared for proclamation, spread his saving gospel in all places and at all times. This afternoon we welcome you to the Call Service at 2:30 p.m. in the Luther Student Center gymnasium. We pray that our Lord will use and bless those assigned as gifts to his church. May our gracious Savior continue to bring men and women to Martin Luther College to pursue the goal of public ministry to his glory and the benefit of his church. We thank the families of our graduates for the encouragement given them as they faithfully completed their studies.

Mission of the College Martin Luther College exists to serve the ministerial needs of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) by preparing men for pastoral training at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary and by preparing men and women for service as teachers and staff ministers in the Synod's church and schools so that the WELS may be served by candidates both qualified and competent to proclaim the Word of God faithfully and in accord with the Lutheran Confessions in the Book of Concord.

Choral Response: "One Faith, One Hope, One Lord''

Music by Craig Courtney

Sermon: 1 Corinthians 15:58 Remember that your labor in the Lord is not in vain ... I. because Jesus rose from the dead. II. because you will wander and forget. III. because it is the work of the Lord.

Hymn: "Lord Jesus Christ, the Church's Head" Please stand for the singing of the hymn. All

Lord Jesus Christ, the Church's head, You are her one foundation. In you she trusts, before you bows, And waits for your salvation. Built on this rock secure, Your Church shall endure Though all the world decay And all things pass away. Oh, hear, oh, hear us, Jesus!

Choir

O Lord, let this your little flock, Your name alone confessing, Continue in your loving care, True unity possessing. Your sacraments, 0 Lord, And your saving Word To use 'er pure retain. Grant that they may remain Our only strength and comfort.

All

Help us to serve you evermore With hearts both pure and lowly. And may your Word, that light divine, Shine on in splendor holy That we repentance show, In faith ever grow. The pow'r of sin destroy And evils that annoy. Oh, make us faithful Christians. And for your gospel let us dare To sacrifice all treasure; Teach us to bear your blessed cross, To find in you all pleasure. Oh, grant us steadfastness In joy and distress. Lord, for your mercy's sake, Let us by grace partake Of endless joy and glory.

Be seated

Presentation of Diplomas Please reserve applause for the Presentation of the Class of 2005 which occurs after the Benediction.

The Class Hymn: "Dear Lord, to Your True Servants Give" The congregation will join in singing the hymn as noted. Class

Dear Lord, to your true servants give The grace to you alone to live. Set free from sin to serve you, Lord, They go to share your living Word, The gospel message to proclaim That all may know your saving name. They gladly go at your command To spread your Word o'er sea and land. Be with them, Lord, and make them strong To heal sin's ills, to right the wrong. Your rule is over wind and wave, And mighty is your arm to save. Interlude

People

When all their labor seems in vain, Revive their sinking hopes again; And when success crowns what they do, Oh, keep them humble, Lord, and true Until before your judgment seat They lay their trophies at your feet.

Stand

Prayer Leader: Heavenly Father, we thank you for making this day possible. We thank and praise you for this school of ministry, for the blessings of the school year, for parents and all who support the training of ministers with prayers and gifts, for faithful students who prepare for public ministry with dedication, for dedicated teachers and staff who follow your ways, and for a church body which sees its mission to spread your Word among all peoples. People: Above all we thank you for our Savior whose forgiveness alone makes it possible for sinful people to serve a holy God. Leader: 0 Lord, bless these graduates. Bless those who will enter your ministry as teachers and staff ministers with the ability to fearlessly speak the mysteries of your Gospel. People: In your mercy, hear our prayer. Leader: Bless those who will continue their preparation for the pastoral ministry at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary with patience and diligence. People: In your mercy, hear our prayer. Leader: Bless those who will be serving you as lay members in your congregations with opportunities to use their special gifts and training. People: In your mercy, hear our prayer. Leader: Be with us all, gracious God, as we serve as your ambassadors that we may do and say only that which will bring glory and honor to your holy name. People: We bring these requests to you in the name of our Savior, Jesus. Amen

Benediction Leader: The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. The Lord look on you with favor and give you peace.

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.

Address: Joshua 3: 14-1 7 Choral Response: "Lord God, You Have Called Your Servants"

Aaron McDermid

Lord God, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending; by paths as yet untrod, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
