PRAYER BEFORE CHURCH: O merciful Lord, grant to your faithful people the confidence that comes from your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, living and dying and rising for us, that the forgiveness of sins confessed in WELS for the last 175 years be our clear message until he comes again in glory to reign with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. In his name, I pray. Amen.
