PASTOR’S GREETING, INTRODUCTIONS, AND LIFE OF THE CHURCH

CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 130 L: Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications! P: If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered. L: Hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and great power to redeem. P: I wait for the Lord, my soul waits; and in the word of the Lord I hope. L: Let us worship God!

HYMN #634 To God Be the Glory TO GOD BE THE GLORY (See music in bulletin)

PRAYER OF CONFESSION P: We are set free by your saving grace, Generous God, yet we must confess how we are still bound by our pride and arrogance. We seem unable to throw off the grave clothes of our habitual sin, finding them too comfortable to wear. We cling to our fears, for they are so familiar and make such good companions. Yet, there in every corner of our lives, in every shadow we fear, into the cold embrace of death itself, you come, Steadfast Love. You break the bonds of sin and terror, giving us new strength and hope for the journey, and calling us to new life through the love and sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

(Silence is kept for personal confession)

L: Amen.

DECLARATION OF PARDON L: You can put your hope in God, dear friends, for God offers us that love which never fades, that life which never ends. P: We wait for God, and God does not fail us. God's hope, God's love, and God's grace are forever. Thanks be to God. L: If you are comfortable doing so, please stand, and give glory to God!

GLORIA PATRI Hymn #581 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.

SCRIPTURE READING: Ezekiel 37:1-14 (NRSV, Pew Bible pp. 704-705)

1 The hand of the Lord came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me all around them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. 3 He said to me, "Mortal, can these bones live?" I answered, "O Lord God, you know." 4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. 6 I will lay sinews on you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord." 7 So I prophesied as I had been commanded; and as I prophesied, suddenly there was a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 I looked, and there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them; but there was no breath in them. 9 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, mortal, and say to the breath: Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live." 10 I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into

4

them, and they lived, and stood on their feet, a vast multitude. 11 Then he said to me, "Mortal, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, "Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are cut off completely.' 12 Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: I am going to open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people; and I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people. 14 I will put my spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken and will act, says the Lord."

SERMON Ruah Rev. Dr. Sue Marie Baskette

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH Adapted from the Belhar Confession We believe in one holy, universal Christian church, the unity of the communion of saints of the entire human family. And we believe that this unity of the people of God must be manifest and active, in that we love one another; that we give ourselves willingly and joyfully to one another, that we share one baptism together, that we eat of one bread and drink of one cup together, that we confess one name, one Lord, for one cause, with one hope, which is the height and the breadth and the depth and the love of Christ, forever and ever. Amen.

HYMN How Deep the Father's Love for Us Stuart Townend (See music in bulletin)

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING AND INTERCESSION, CONCLUDING WITH THE LORD’S PRAYER

The Lord’s Prayer 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.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY11.11.11.11 with refrain 

This American gospel song became popular in England in the late 19th century, then returned to this countryin the mid-20th century with the Billy Graham crusades. Its continuing popularity may well be due to thefreedom from subjective considerations in its praise of God.

THIS WEEK’S ANNOUNCEMENTS

ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING (OGHS): Around the world, millions of people lack access to sustainable food sources, clean water, sanitation, education, and opportunity. The three programs supported by OGHS

are Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, the Presbyterian Hunger Program, and Self-Development of People. These three all work in different ways to serve individuals and communities in need. From initial disaster response to ongoing community development, their work fits together to provide people with safety, sustenance, and hope. Your gifts to OGHS are the single, largest way that Presbyterians come together every year to work for a better world. OGHS giving envelopes are available on the table in the narthex, or you can text the word SHARING to 56512 where it will then take you to the website where you can donate online.

PARKER NORDBY was born to Dylan and Lauren Nordby on December 26th, 2019 about 13 weeks early. If you would like to follow his progress and show support for his parents, you can do so at https://parkernordby.wordpress.com/.

HOST AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT: Have you ever considered becoming a host family and opening your home to an international student that will attend Prescott High School next fall? Educatius Group is expecting many great international students for the 2020-2021 school year at Prescott high school and is getting host families ready now! Students will arrive August 2020. For more information, contact Mary Devereux, Local Coordinator, at 928-533-6895 or by email marydevereux.educatius@gmail.com.

LIKE OUR TPC FACEBOOK PAGE! The Outreach Team invites the Trinity family to go to our Trinity Presbyterian Church (TPC) Facebook page to like it! When in Facebook search, “@TrinityPrescottAZ” to find it and there you have options to like it, leave a comment, and/or share it with “friends.” This is a powerful tool to help us get the good word out about TPC.

COMMUNITY CUPBOARD NEWS: Thank you for your food and money donations. The money goes a long way because our buyer purchases items at a big discount for us. If you want to bring food please look for sales on canned fruit, canned meat, and peanut butter. These items are needed the most and cost the most for our buyer to purchase. Also, please continue to bring paper or plastic grocery bags and put them in the Community Cupboard box in the hallway outside the church office. THANK YOU!

CARE TEAM MISSION STATEMENT: To foster caring relationships within our church family as we hold each other up in prayer, encourage one another with phone calls, greeting cards, prayer shawls, home and hospital visits as well as acts of kindness for those in need such as bringing over a meal, help with grocery shopping or giving a ride to a medical appointment. YOUR MISSION "If you choose to accept it": is to let us know if you need

our assistance!! Contact the church office: 445-4536 ext. 113, Charlene: 771-8845 or 273-6093, or Charlie: 925-0057.

PER CAPITA - As Presbyterians, we agree to participate in the life of the wider church by serving Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly. One of the ways we do this is through

our Per Capita apportionment which is how we mutually share the cost of coming together to discern the Spirit's leading for the future. Each member is responsible for their share of this cost. The Presbytery of Grand Canyon approved the 2020 Per Capita apportionment at $37.35 per member. Per Capita gifts should be made payable to Trinity, and will be forwarded on to the Presbytery.

PASTOR SUE MARIE'S EMAIL: When corresponding with Pastor Sue Marie by email please double check what email address you are using. Please use

the aztrinitypastor1@gmail.com address. There is another email address being used that is no longer active. Using an address other than the aztrinitypastor1@gmail.com will result in lost correspondence - and we do not want that happening. Thank you so much for your attention to this issue.

THE PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY meets the second Thursday of each month and will be doing so through Zoom Meeting, at 1:00 PM. Join us if you knit or crochet or would like to learn! Contact Charlene (928-771-8845) if you would like to receive a prayer shawl; we present them to our members who are welcoming a new baby, graduating high school, turning 90, or feel in need of the comfort of a prayer shawl.
