Pipe and Drape Backdrop Ideas for Weddings: Budget-Friendly Elegance

We get it. You've envisioned the perfect wedding venue, a space overflowing with love, joy, and elegance. But when it comes to backdrops, those Pinterest-worthy displays can come with a hefty price tag. Don't fret! Here's the secret: pipe and drape backdrops are not only stunning and versatile, but they're also surprisingly budget-friendly for DIY enthusiasts.

Pipe and drape systems are essentially metal frames constructed from upright poles, crossbars, and bases. By draping fabric across this frame, you create a clean, customizable backdrop that can be transformed to suit any wedding theme.

The beauty of pipe and drape lies in its ability to elevate any space. Imagine a ceremony backdrop framing your vows, bathed in the warm glow of fairy lights. Picture a reception area where a billowing fabric backdrop sets the stage for your first dance as a married couple. Pipe and drape backdrops add a touch of sophistication and magic to your wedding, ensuring those unforgettable moments are picture-perfect.

Now that you know pipe and drape backdrops can be both beautiful and affordable, let's dive into how to create your dream backdrop without breaking the bank!

Building Your Pipe and Drape Backdrop: A Step-by-Step Guide

We're here to empower you to create a stunning DIY pipe and drape backdrop. Here's a detailed guide to get you started:

Materials:

• Pipe and Drape System: This can be rented from event companies or purchased online. However, with a little resourcefulness, you can often create a budget-friendly alternative. Consider using PVC pipes, closet rods, or even sturdy curtain rods from home in place of a traditional pipe and drape system.
• Base Plates: These weighted plates provide stability for your backdrop. Sandbags or cinderblocks can be used as affordable substitutes.
• Fabric: We'll discuss fabric choices in detail in the next section, but for now, know that the amount you'll need depends on your desired fullness.
• Zip Ties or Clamps: To secure the fabric to the frame.

Cost Breakdown: Renting a pipe and drape system can range from $100 to $300 depending on size and location. However, by using PVC pipes and creative substitutions for base plates, you can bring the cost down to under $50.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Assemble the Frame: If using a pre-made system, follow the manufacturer's instructions. For DIY alternatives, ensure your pipes or rods are cut to the desired height and width of your backdrop. Connect them using sturdy connectors or zip ties, creating a rectangular frame.

2. Attach the Base Plates: Secure the base plates or weights to the bottom of the uprights for stability. Ensure they are evenly distributed to prevent the frame from tipping over.

3. Drape the Fabric: Here's where you can get creative! We'll discuss different fabric options in the next section, but for now, lay the fabric flat on the ground. Carefully gather or pleat the fabric at the top to create fullness. Secure the gathered top fabric to the crossbar of the frame using zip ties or clamps.

4. Let Your Creativity Shine! Once your basic backdrop is in place, you can personalize it further. String fairy lights or fairy lights across the back of the fabric for a whimsical touch. Add floral swags or greenery garlands for a romantic feel. The possibilities are endless!

Safety Tip: Always prioritize safety. Ensure your base plates or weights are sufficient to hold the frame upright, especially if using lightweight fabric. If you're unsure about the stability, add more weight or consider using a smaller backdrop size.

Fabric Choices for Budget-Friendly Backdrops

The fabric you choose for your pipe and drape backdrop plays a significant role in both aesthetics and cost. Here's a breakdown of popular options to suit your budget and style:

• Chiffon: A classic and elegant choice, chiffon drapes beautifully and creates a soft, romantic look. It's available in a wide range of colors and is relatively affordable.

• Tulle: This ethereal fabric adds a touch of whimsy and can be layered for added volume. Tulle is generally inexpensive and comes in a variety of colors.

• Satin: Luxurious and sophisticated, satin creates a smooth, polished look. While slightly more expensive than chiffon or tulle, satin can still be a budget-friendly option compared to other backdrop materials.

• Organza: Similar to chiffon but with a slightly stiffer drape, organza adds a touch of formality. It's available in a variety of sheer and opaque colors.

Beyond the Usual Suspects: Exploring Unexpected Fabric Options

Don't be afraid to think outside the box! Here are some creative and budget-friendly fabric alternatives:

• Bedsheets: Believe it or not, white or ivory bedsheets can be transformed into beautiful backdrops. Opt for natural fibers like cotton or linen for a more luxurious look.

• Curtains: Sheer curtains readily available from home furnishing stores can add a soft, elegant touch. Consider layering multiple curtain panels for extra fullness.

• Drop Cloths: These large canvas tarps used by painters can be surprisingly effective as backdrops. They provide a clean, minimalist aesthetic and can be easily painted or decorated to match your wedding theme.

Remember: When choosing fabric, consider factors like the overall weight (lightweight fabrics may require additional weighting at the base for stability) and the level of sheerness (sheer fabrics may require a lining if you want a more opaque backdrop).

Finding the Perfect Fabric Deal:

• Online Fabric Stores: Many online retailers offer a wide variety of fabrics at competitive prices. Look for sales and discount codes to save even more.
• Fabric Remnant Stores: These stores sell leftover fabric by the yard at significantly discounted prices. You might find the perfect piece for your backdrop at a fraction of the cost.
• Think Upcycled! Do you have old curtains or bedsheets lying around? Breathe new life into them by transforming them into your wedding backdrop.

Beyond the Basics: Lighting & Embellishments to Make Your Backdrop Shine

Your pipe and drape backdrop is the foundation, but the real magic happens when you add lighting and embellishments. Here's how to elevate your backdrop and create a truly stunning focal point:

• The Transformative Power of Lighting: Strategic lighting can take your backdrop from simple to spectacular. String fairy lights or bistro lights along the back of the frame for a warm, whimsical glow. Uplights placed at the base of the backdrop can bathe it in soft light, creating a dramatic effect. Consider fairy lights with color-changing options to add a touch of personality.

• Floral Magic: Fresh flowers or high-quality silk flowers can add a touch of romance and elegance to your backdrop. You can drape floral garlands across the top of the frame, create lush floral swags, or even incorporate floral centerpieces into the base of the backdrop.

• Unique Touches: Don't be afraid to personalize your backdrop further! Balloons in your wedding colors can add a playful touch, while paper lanterns or fabric streamers can create a festive atmosphere. You can even incorporate special mementos or photos to make your backdrop truly unique.

Remember: When adding embellishments, keep the overall balance in mind. Too many elements can make the backdrop look cluttered.

Pipe and Drape Alternatives: Exploring Budget-Friendly Backdrop Options

While pipe and drape backdrops offer versatility and style, here are some alternative backdrop ideas to consider:

• Nature as Your Backdrop: For outdoor weddings, take advantage of scenic landscapes! A majestic tree, a beautiful garden, or even a breathtaking view can provide a naturally stunning backdrop.

• Hanging Installations: Get creative with fabric, florals, or other materials to create beautiful hanging backdrops. Imagine sheer fabric panels gracefully hanging from tree branches, lush floral garlands suspended from a vintage arbour, or a cascading display of paper lanterns.

• Repurposed Structures: Transform everyday items into stunning backdrops. An antique doorframe accented with floral swags can create a romantic setting, while a salvaged wooden ladder adorned with twinkling lights can add a touch of rustic charm. Think creatively about the items you already have or can find at flea markets and vintage shops.

• Creative Backdrops: Tap into your artistic side! A macrame hanging makes a stunning bohemian backdrop, while a large-scale photo collage can add a personal and playful touch. For a modern twist, consider a geometric pattern painted on a large canvas.

FAQs: Answers to Your Burning Questions

Are DIY pipe and drape backdrops stable?

Yes! Ensuring your backdrop stands securely is vital. Properly weighted base plates are crucial for stability. Additionally, consider further securing your backdrop by attaching it to a wall or sturdy object.

Where can I buy cheap fabrics for backdrops?

 Explore online fabric stores, fabric remnant stores, or even thrift shops for affordable materials. Consider upcycled bedsheets or curtains for a truly budget-friendly approach.

How much fabric do I need for my backdrop?

Calculate this by taking the width of your backdrop frame and multiplying it by a factor of two or three, depending on how much fullness you want. Factor in extra fabric length, especially if you plan to drape the sides.

Can I rent pipe and drape systems?

Yes! Event rental companies often offer pipe and drape systems for rent, saving you the cost of purchasing them outright.

A Final Note: Your Wedding, Your Budget, Your Way

Don't let budget constraints limit your wedding dreams. Creating a beautiful backdrop for your special day is within reach. We believe that anyone with a DIY spirit and a little creativity can achieve spectacular results while staying on budget.

Remember, the most important thing about your wedding backdrop is how it reflects your unique love story. Let your personality and style shine through, and rest assured that your guests will be captivated by the love and effort you've poured into every detail. Now go forth and create a wedding backdrop that's as beautiful and memorable as your love!

Weekly Newsletter

Glimpses of Glendale Glendale Lutheran Church Newsletter   May 2, 2024 Buts Matter - article by Joel Hempel   You may have heard it said or read that what follows the word but is often more important than what preceded it. Those are the buts I’m talking about: The buts of Scripture and the promises that follow after them.   The bigger the but, the better. And no but is bigger than the one found in Ephesians 2:1-6. Although Paul was writing to the church in Ephesus, he could have been writing to all of us. In the first three verses, he says we were hopelessly entangled in sin and spiritually lost.   But God being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us . . . made us alive together with Christ . . . (verses 4-5).   That’s the universal but (see 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 ). That’s what God’s love did for everyone, even though most people don’t recognize it or outright reject it. If by some chance you are one of those people, I appeal to you by the mercies of God to let go of your resistance and receive God’s grace and forgiveness (see John 3:16-17),   For all the rest of us who have already been empowered by God’s love to receive Jesus Christ as our Savior, what is your personal but? What is the story of brokenness in your life that precedes the but, and more importantly, what follows the but?   We shouldn’t embellish our story, but we should not hold back. A Christian’s testimony does not have to be a Hollywood blockbuster. It does not need to be as dramatic as St. Paul’s (see Galatians 1:13-16). It only needs to include honesty, vulnerability, and a BIG but: JESUS, who he is to you, what he did for you, and how he turned your life around.   One more thing about our faith stories. They are still being written.   However bad you may be having it now, or however bad you will be having it in the future, our merciful Father will always provide a but. ALWAYS! And those bad times, as well as that but, will become part of your faith story.   Here are a few go-to buts from God we can trust:   In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world (John 16:33).   We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed (2 Corinthians 4:8).   God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it (1 Corinthians 10:13). CCLS Announcement CCLS Executive Director Matt Hoehner has advised there will be no CCLS expansion at Glendale. According to Dr. Hoehner, the County would require sprinklers to be installed throughout the entire Glendale Lutheran Church facility as part of the expansion, which makes the proposed project unfeasible. The Leadership Council remains grateful for all the thoughtful and sincere comments and questions we received last summer regarding the expansion. New Women's Group Interest has been expressed in establishing a daytime women's social group. Events to be considered will be visiting local community sites and lunches at restaurants. Our first meeting will be Thursday, May 16 at 10:00am, held in the 2nd floor Bible Study room. Questions? Contact Jennifer Buchholz at 314-302-5630 or Buchholzje@yahoo.com.

Welcome to Glendale Lutheran! Deacon List…If you need to talk to a fellow believer, email or call Pastor Scott or one of these deacons: Joel Hempel (jhempel411@gmail.com), Marcia Hempel (mshempel11@att.net), Bob Jacobson (rjacobson@hy-c.com), or Tony Petzoldt (tonypetzoldt@sbcglobal.net).  The Sixth Sunday of Easter May 5, 2024 9:15am Divine Service I Prelude  Greeting and Welcome Lighting of the Candles Hymn of Invocation – Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice (LSB 556, v1-4) Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, With exultation springing, And with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God has done, How His right arm the vict’ry won. What price our ransom cost Him! Fast bound in Satan’s chains I lay; Death brooded darkly o’er me. Sin was my torment night and day; In sin my mother bore me. But daily deeper still I fell; My life became a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. My own good works all came to naught, No grace or merit gaining; Free will against God’s judgment fought, Dead to all good remaining. My fears increased till sheer despair Left only death to be my share; The pangs of hell I suffered. But God had seen my wretched state Before the world’s foundation, And mindful of His mercies great, He planned for my salvation. He turned to me a father’s heart; He did not choose the easy part But gave His dearest treasure. + Preparation + Invocation P: In the name of the Father and of the + Son and of the Holy Spirit C: Amen. Confession and Absolution P: If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. C: But if we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Silence for reflection on God's Word and for self-examination. P: Let us then confess our sins to God our Father. C: Most merciful God, we confess that we are by nature sinful and unclean. We have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We justly deserve Your present and eternal punishment. For the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in Your will and walk in Your ways to the glory of Your holy name. Amen. P: Almighty God in His mercy has given His Son to die for you and for His sake forgives you all your sins. As a called and ordained servant of Christ, and by His authority, I therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the + Son and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. + Word + Introit  P: Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul. C: Shout for joy to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! P: Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard, C: who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip. P: Blessèd be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me! All: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen P: Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul. Kyrie P: In peace let us pray to the Lord. C: Lord, have mercy.  P: For the peace from above and for our salvation let us pray to the Lord. C: Lord, have mercy.  P: For the peace of the whole world, for the well-being of the Church of God, and for the unity of all let us pray to the Lord. C: Lord, have mercy.  P: For this holy house and for all who offer here their worship and praise let us pray to the Lord. C: Lord, have mercy.  P: Help, save, comfort, and defend us, gracious Lord. C: Amen.  This Is the Feast This is the feast of victory for our God. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Worthy is Christ, the Lamb who was slain,  whose blood set us free to be people of God.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.  Salutation and Collect of the Day P: The Lord be with you.  C: And also with you.  P: Let us pray. O God, the giver of all that is good, by Your holy inspiration grant that we may think those things that are right and by Your merciful guiding accomplish them; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C: Amen.   First Reading – 1 Kings 18:20-40 So Ahab sent to all the people of Israel and gathered the prophets together at Mount Carmel. And Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you go limping between two different opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” And the people did not answer him a word. Then Elijah said to the people, “I, even I only, am left a prophet of the LORD, but Baal’s prophets are 450 men. Let two bulls be given to us, and let them choose one bull for themselves and cut it in pieces and lay it on the wood, but put no fire to it. And I will prepare the other bull and lay it on the wood and put no fire to it. And you call upon the name of your god, and I will call upon the name of the LORD, and the God who answers by fire, he is God.” And all the people answered, “It is well spoken.” Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first, for you are many, and call upon the name of your god, but put no fire to it.” And they took the bull that was given them, and they prepared it and called upon the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “O Baal, answer us!” But there was no voice, and no one answered. And they limped around the altar that they had made. And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.” And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with swords and lances, until the blood gushed out upon them. And as midday passed, they raved on until the time of the offering of the oblation, but there was no voice. No one answered; no one paid attention. Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me.” And all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that had been thrown down. Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD came, saying, “Israel shall be your name,” and with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD. And he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two seahs of seed. And he put the wood in order and cut the bull in pieces and laid it on the wood. And he said, “Fill four jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.” And he said, “Do it a second time.” And they did it a second time. And he said, “Do it a third time.” And they did it a third time. And the water ran around the altar and filled the trench also with water. And at the time of the offering of the oblation, Elijah the prophet came near and said, “O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word. Answer me, O LORD, answer me, that this people may know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you have turned their hearts back.” Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, “The LORD, he is God; the LORD, he is God.” And Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape.” And they seized them. And Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon and slaughtered them there. P: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. Epistle – 1 John 5:1–8 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.  P: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. Alleluia and Verse Alleluia. Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Alleluia, alleluia.    Holy Gospel – John 15:9-17 P: The Holy Gospel according to St. John, the fifteenth chapter. C: Glory to You, O Lord. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. [Jesus said:] “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another. P: This is the Gospel of the Lord. C: Praise to You, O Christ.  Children’s Hymn – This is My Commandment (AGPS 240) This is my commandment that you love one another, That your joy may be full. This is my commandment that you love one another, That your joy may be full. That your joy may be full, that your joy may be full. This is my commandment that you love one another That your joy may be full. (Repeat) Children’s Sermon – Janet Leet Hymn of the Day – I Am Jesus’ Little Lamb (LSB 740) I am Jesus’ little lamb, Ever glad at heart I am; For my Shepherd gently guides me, Knows my need and well provides me, Loves me ev’ry day the same, Even calls me by my name. Day by day, at home, away, Jesus is my staff and stay. When I hunger, Jesus feeds me, Into pleasant pastures leads me; When I thirst, He bids me go Where the quiet waters flow. Who so happy as I am, Even now the Shepherd’s lamb? And when my short life is ended, By His angel host attended, He shall fold me to His breast, There within His arms to rest. Sermon  Apostles' Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life + everlasting. Amen.

With repentant joy we receive the salvation accomplished for us by the all-availing sacrifice of His body and His blood on the cross.     Gathered in the name and the remembrance of Jesus, we beg You, O Lord, to forgive, renew, and strengthen us with Your Word and Spirit. Grant us faithfully to eat His body and drink His blood as He bids us do in His own testament. Gather us together, we pray, from the ends of the earth to celebrate with all the faithful the marriage feast of the Lamb in His kingdom, which has no end. Graciously receive our prayers; deliver and preserve us. To You alone, O Father, be all glory, honor, and worship, with the Son and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C: Amen. The Words of Our Lord P: Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to the disciples and said: “Take, eat; this is My + body, which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me.” In the same way also He took the cup after  supper, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying: “Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in My + blood, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” Proclamation of Christ P: As often as we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. C: Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. P: O Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, in giving us Your body and blood to eat and to drink, You lead us to remember and confess Your holy cross and passion, Your blessed death, Your rest in the tomb, Your resurrection from the dead, Your ascension into heaven, and Your coming for the final judgment. So remember us in Your kingdom and teach us to pray: Lord’s Prayer C: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen. Pax Domini  P: The peace of the Lord be with you always. C: Amen.  Agnus Dei Lamb of God, You take away the sin of the world; have mercy on us. Lamb of God, You take away the sin of the world; have mercy on us. Lamb of God, You take away the sin of the world; grant us peace.    Distribution  Distribution Hymn – In Christ Alone In Christ alone my hope is found,  He is my light, my strength, my song; This Cornerstone, this solid ground,  Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace,  When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All,  Here in the love of Christ I stand. In Christ alone who took on flesh,  Fullness of God in helpless babe! This gift of love and righteousness,  Scorned by the ones He came to save. ‘Til on that cross as Jesus died,  The wrath of God was satisfied. For ev’ry sin on Him was laid;  Here in the death of Christ I live. There in the ground His body lay,  Light of the world, by darkness slain; Then bursting forth in glorious day,  Up from the grave He rose again! And as He stands in victory,  Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me; For I am His and He is mine,  Bought with the precious blood of Christ. No fear in life, no fear in death,  This is the pow’r of Christ in me; From life’s first cry to final breath,  Jesus commands my destiny. No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man,  Can ever pluck me from His hand; ‘Til He returns or calls me home,  Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand! Blessing Thank the Lord Thank the Lord and sing His praise; tell ev'ryone what He has done. Let all who seek the Lord rejoice and proudly bear His name. He recalls His promises and leads His people forth in joy with shouts of Thanksgiving. Alleluia, alleluia.    Post-Communion Collect P: Let us pray. We give thanks to You, almighty God, that You have refreshed us through this salutary gift, and we implore You that of Your mercy You would strengthen us through the same in faith toward You and fervent love toward one another; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.  C: Amen.   Benediction  P: The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you. The Lord look upon you with favor and + give you peace. C: Amen.  Closing Hymn – Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice (LSB 556, v5-8) God said to His belovèd Son: “It’s time to have compassion. Then go, bright jewel of My crown, And bring to all salvation. From sin and sorrow set them free; Slay bitter death for them that they May live with You forever.” The Son obeyed His Father’s will, Was born of virgin mother; And God’s good pleasure to fulfill, He came to be my brother. His royal pow’r disguised He bore; A servant’s form, like mine, He wore To lead the devil captive. To me He said: “Stay close to Me, I am your rock and castle. Your ransom I Myself will be; For you I strive and wrestle. For I am yours, and you are Mine, And where I am you may remain; The foe shall not divide us. “Though he will shed My precious blood, Me of My life bereaving, All this I suffer for your good; Be steadfast and believing. Life will from death the vict’ry win; My innocence shall bear your sin, And you are blest forever.
