THE APPROACH: THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP OF GOD

Call to Worship Adam Johnston & Xavier Russell-MacLean

Unison Collect

Our Father, in the very beginning, you created all that is. On the Day of Pentecost, by the same Holy Spirit came to live inside the first Christians.

The Spirit gave them power to do and say the things you asked them to do and say. Now send us Your Holy Spirit while we worship You here

together. Make us like new. Let us know You more. Help us to do what is right. Help us to tell others about how You are saving everything through Jesus so that everyone can understand and believe. Father we ask this in

the Holy Spirit, You are one God, forever and ever, Amen.

Having been commended by the Ordination Examining Council of our Denomination, Canadian Baptists of Western Canada, Joel Russell-

MacLean will be ordained to the ministry of word and sacrament during the morning worship service on June 17th. A reception will

follow. As Baptists we believe that it is God who chooses some individuals to be leaders within His church. The church does not

Ordination is a recognition that both the local church and our wider family of churches, together, after prayer and examination, have

family of churches, together, after prayer and examination, have determined that a person has been so called by God. Ordination is both a solemn and joyful event as the candidate makes promises to

both God and the people of God to fulfill this calling faithfully. We look forward with much joy and anticipation to this event. The guest

speaker for June 17th will be Barry Holtslander, a long-time friend of both Joel and Heather. Others taking leadership in this service will

include Dr. McKim and Rev. Devin Seghers, our Area Minister.

BIBLE QUIZING

Today we recognize the efforts our Bible Quizzers have put in

over the past year learning the books of Hebrews and Peter. We

have had 5 quizzers from 3 different churches who have met

weekly since September and attended 5 weekend quiz meets. They

have learned scripture and practiced building each other up in

Christian love and each of them has taught me so much. Today we Christian love and each of them has taught me so much. Today we

present certificates to Lisa Lai, Rachel Fan, Nelson Wani, Judy

Wani and Bryn Angus. In addition we have a 1st year bible for Judy

Wani and a special gift for Bryn Angus for completing the full six

year curriculum.

It has been my great privilege to work with the Bible Quizzing

Program for the past 12 years. The expanded eight year

curriculum covers the books of Matthew, Luke, John, Acts,

Romans, I & II Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Romans, I & II Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians,

Colossians, Hebrews, James and I & II Peter, and I have been

through most of it twice. I have been honoured to work with

dozens of teenagers during that time and I love them all more

than I can say. But today I am stepping down from this leadership

position. I ask that all of you would pray diligently for other

leaders within this city and consider if God is leading someone to

step forward to continue the program in First Baptist. I wish
