WE GATHER TO WORSHIP

Greeting Karl ZinsmeisterOne: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.All: And also with you.One: Let us prepare for worship.

Preparation for WorshipO God our defender, storms rage about us and cause us to be afraid. Rescue your people from despair, deliver your sons and daughters from fear, and preserve us all from unbelief; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Christian Welcome and Announcements Robert Galloway

Call to Worship One: It is not enough to say we love all people; All: our love must be active, with no strings attached. One: It is not enough to beg mercy for ourselves; All: we are called to extend mercy that triumphs over judgement. One: It is not enough to be prudent and responsible; All: God moves through the world with reckless grace, longing for us to do the same. One: It is not enough to notice injustice and quietly lament it; All: our neighbors need us to raise our voices and point out the problems. One: It is not enough to think our best thoughts about God; All: God desires and deserves our passion and praise.

*Hymn 305 - Come Sing, O Church, in Joy! DARWALL’S 148TH

*Call to Confession

*Prayer of ConfessionForgive us, Lord. Forgive us when we forget the other, ignore our neighbor, refuse the immigrant, mock the children, forget the widow, and judge the different. Forgive us when we insist on seeing the good in our own lives while ignoring the pain and suffering in the lives of others.Forgive us when we forget that your big, Gospel love makes the world small enough to connect us all.(Silent prayer)Amen.

*Assurance of Pardon

WORSHIP | EMBRACE | SERVE in the manner of Christ

*Response Hymn 581 GLORIA PATRI (Greatorex)Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,world without end. Amen, amen.

WE RESPOND TO GOD’S WORD

*Hymn - Build a Longer Table text by David Bjorlin; reprinted under OneLicense.net #A714069

Prayers of the People and The Lord’s Prayer Cate Church Norman 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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

Presentation of Tithes and Offerings

Offertory Anthem - All Are Welcome arr. Marty Haugen (pub. 1994)See Hymn 301 for anthem text.

*All who are able may stand. Morgan Riker, artist

*Offertory Response Hymn 643 - stanza 1 NUN DANKET ALLE GOTTNow thank we all our God with heart and hands and voices,who wondrous things hath done, in whom this world rejoices;who, from our mothers’ arms, hath blessed us on our waywith countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.

*Affirmation of Faith from Iona CommunityWe believe that God is present in the darkness before the dawn;

in the waiting and uncertainty where fear and courage join hands,conflict and caring link arms, and the sun rises daily over all of creation.

We believe in a with-us God who sits down in our midstto share our humanity.

We affirm a faith that takes us beyond the safe place: into action, into vulnerability, and into the streets.

We commit ourselves to work for change and put ourselves on the line; to bear responsibility, take risks, live powerfully and face humiliation; to stand with those on the edge; to choose life and be used by the Spirit for God’s new community of peace.

WE GO IN GOD’S NAME

*Hymn 729 - Lord, I Want to Be a Christian I WANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN

*Charge and Benediction

*Closing Response Hymn 306 - stanza 1 DENNIS Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love. The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.

*Chiming of the Trinity The worship service ends with the Chiming of the Trinity.

Please be mindful of those who remain to listen to the postlude.

*Postlude - Now Thank We All Our God Georg Friedrich Kauffmann (1679-1735)

The flowers in the chancel this morning are the wedding flowers of Sarah Ruth Collins and Larry Garrett Bellamy, whose marriage was celebrated yesterday. They are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of Nancy S. Collins, Richard W. Westbrook II, Barbara W. Westbrook, and Thomas L. Westbrook. Sarah is the daughter of Barbara and Ned Collins.

Following the 10:15 a.m. worship service, we invite you to join us for a reception to say thank you to Robert Galloway, as his two-year term as Pastoral Resident ends.

Greeters: 10:15 - Diane Britt, Sydney Bryan, Heather Horton.Ushers: 8:15 - Cheryl McLean (DIC), Elaine Mason, Stacy Miller, Alva Moore, Charlotte Newby, Bruce Sharpe; 10:15 - Tracey Hall (DIC), Barry Millward, John Stilley, Jane Terry, Nancy Brawley, Betty Baldwin.Treasurer’s Assistant: Alex Flynn, Stephen Riddick.Shuttle Driver: Louis Case.

This summer we are preaching through the many “each other” and “one another” texts in the New Testament. During Associate Pastor Cate Church Norman’s Installation service this spring, the Pastor of Durham Presbyterian Church, Franklin Golden, read through all 59 of these and presented Cate with a piece of art (left) depicting them. They are as challenging as they are beautiful. Each of them serves as a snapshot of the behaviors which can define Christian life. We hope you find in them both deep meaning and authentic challenge as we encounter many of them in our worship this summer.
