Bible Readings and Prayers of the People
FIRST READING: Jonah 3:1-5, 10
1The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying, 2“Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.” 3So Jonah set out and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly large city, a three days’ walk across. 4Jonah began to go into the city, going a day’s walk. And he cried out, “Forty days more, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” 5And the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast, and everyone, great and small, put on sackcloth.
10When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil ways, God changed his mind about the calamity that he had said he would bring upon them; and he did not do it.
SECOND READING: 1 Corinthians 7:29-31
29Brothers and sisters, the appointed time has grown short; from now on, let even those who have wives be as though they had none, 30and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no possessions, 31and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the present form of this world is passing away.
GOSPEL: Mark 1:14-20
14Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, 15and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.”
16As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. 17And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you fish for people.” 18And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him.

Prayers of the People
Guided by Christ made known to the nations, let us offer our prayers for the church, the world, and all people in need.
We pray for the church throughout the world, for pastors and teachers, for deacons and deaconesses, for musicians and servers, for seminaries and seminarians, and this week we remember our faith partners in the Presbyterian Church USA. That all proclaim the good news of God’s reconciling love, let us pray,
Have mercy, O God.
We pray for the skies and the seas, for birds and fish, for favorable weather and clean water, and for the well-being of all of creation. May you, Lord, raise up advocates and scientists to uncover the truth of this amazing cosmos, and guide us to care for all the earth, let us pray.
Have mercy, O God.
We pray for leaders here and around the world, that help may be guided to those in need, that wealth may be encouraged to be shared, and that freedom for all may remain a goal in our blessed nation and all others. This week we remember the nations of Thailand and Venezuela, and our United States of America as new leaders come into office, let us pray.
Have mercy, O God.
We pray for all who are outcast and all who await relief. We pray for our homebound, especially Les & Pat Greaves; we pray for the hospitalized, especially Lori Dahl, Bill Cox, and Larry Brownfield; and we pray for those who grieve, especially the Mueller family, the Odgaard family, the Johnson family, and the Jones family. That in the midst of pain, God’s mercy surrounds them all, let us pray.
Have mercy, O God.
We pray for our congregation and community, for families big and small, and for the organizations that make up this church. This week we remember the Outreach Ministries of our congregation. That God’s steadfast love serve as a model for all interactions and relationships, let us pray.
Have mercy, O God.
We pray in thanksgiving for our ancestors in the faith and saints like Thomas Aquinas, Marilyn Mueller, and Jerold Johnson, whose lives serve as an example of gospel living. That they point us to salvation through Christ, let us pray.
Have mercy, O God.
Merciful God, hear the prayers of your people, spoken or silent, for the sake of the one who dwells among us, your Son, Jesus Christ our Savior.
Amen
