The skies light up the world.All: God makes a way through the sea, leading the people like a flock. One: Let us proclaim the goodness of the Lord in our acts of worship and praise. Let us worship with hearts to love and minds to learn.

*Prayer of ConfessionGracious Lord, forgive us when we fail to understand. Forgive us when we are convinced that easy answers are the only answers we will accept. Forgive our lack of wisdom and rash judgments. By the Spirit of your Son help us to look as deep as our gifts will allow. Help us to keep our focus upon Jesus who calls us to love one another as he first loved us. Let us be subject to one another as an expression of our devotion to you, gracious Lord. In your name, and for the sake of your Son, hear our prayer and grant us mercy. Amen.

Offertory – Blessed Jesus, We Are Here Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)

*Offertory Response Hymn 711 – stanza 1 TOULONLord of all good, our gifts we bring to you;use them your holy purpose to fulfill,tokens of love and pledges brought anew,that our whole life is offered to your will.

*Affirmation of Faith adapted from Philippians 2 Christ Jesus,

who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness.

*All who are able may stand.

And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death— even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

WE GO IN GOD’S NAME

This summer we are preaching through the many “each other” and “one another” texts in the New Testament. During 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.
