Whoever is chosen will join us as a witness of Jesus’ resurrection.”
23 So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
24 Then they all prayed, “*O Lord, you know every heart.
Show us which of these men you have chosen *25 as an apostle to replace Judas in this ministry, for he has deserted us and gone where he belongs.”
26 Then they cast lots, and Matthias was selected to become an apostle with the other eleven.

*Scripture Reading                                                                         *Isaiah 55:1-5 /(NLT)/
1 “Is anyone thirsty?
Come and drink—even if you have no money!
Come, take your choice of wine or milk—it’s all free! 
2Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength?
Why pay for food that does you no good?
Listen to me, and you will eat what is good.
You will enjoy the finest food.
3“Come to me with your ears wide open.
Listen, and you will find life.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you.

4See how I used him to display my power among the peoples.
I made him a leader among the nations.
5You also will command nations you do not know, and peoples unknown to you will come running to obey, because I, the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, have made you glorious.”
*~*Hymn of Prayer            *# 1         “Holy, Holy, Holy”
*Pastoral Prayer  *As far back as we can remember, gracious God, we have been told that you are love, and that all who love are born of you and know you.
We accept this truth in our minds, but our actions tell a very different story.
We confess that we have rationed our love - confined it to those who place few demands upon us because they are so much like us.~/We have failed to act in love toward the poor, the homeless, the stranger; toward those we deem our enemies or our nation's foes; toward those who have nothing to give in return; toward those we believe we cannot help.~/Forgive
our lack of love.
Help us, through the change of heart and life that is true repentance, to grow in knowledge and love of you; ~/ so many needs surround us: those who suffer from sickness of body or mind; those who labor in unsatisfying jobs; those without homes, without help, without hope; those who serve in the military far from home; those whose families are wracked by dissent; those without families or friends; those who struggle against poverty or the addiction to money and power; those who draw near to the end of life and the final mystery of death.
Beyond our individual concerns are those of the world: for justice and freedom for all people; for leaders who serve their people without exploitation; for careful stewardship of the natural world.
As we await your Spirit, help us to open our hearts to you and to others, shining forth the love with which you have blessed the world, even Jesus Christ our Lord, who is mercy and peace.
Amen.

*~*Hymn of Praise          *# 309        “I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say”
*Scripture Text                                                                  *Psalm 145:8-9, 14-21* */(NLT)/
The Lord is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
The Lord is good to everyone.
He showers compassion on all his creation.
The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads.
The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it.
When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.
The Lord is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness.
The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth.
He grants the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cries for help and rescues them.
The Lord protects all those who love him, but he destroys the wicked.
I will praise the Lord, and may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever.
