GIVING UPDATE: The church budget follows a fiscal calendar year from July to June and we are now in the final month for this year. Budgeted income for May was $179,000 and through the end of May we had received $208,000. Year to date expenses are less than budgeted.
We were running approximately $77,000 behind in giving at the end of May and so we have some work to do in order to close this gap. Budgeted income for June is $219,000. The Elders are grateful for your generosity and remain hopeful that income for this fiscal year will be in line with what was budgeted.

Welcome and Greeting (8:45) Rev. Dr. Paul Cunningham
Responsive Call to Worship Elder Bobby Graham Psalm 139:1-6, 23-24
Leader: You have searched me, Lord, and You know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar.
People: You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways.
Leader: Before a word is on my tongue You, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and You lay Your hand upon me.
People: Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Leader: Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
People: See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Invocation Elder Bobby Graham
†Opening Hymn #377 Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day.All Thy works with joy surround Thee, earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee, center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in Thee.Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our Brother - all who live in love are Thine;
Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine.Mortals, join the happy chorus which the morning stars began; Father love is reigning o’er us, brother love binds man to man. Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sunward in the triumph song of life.

“It’s All Part of the Plan”†Closing Hymn #458 Take My Life and Let it Be Consecrated
Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee; Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of Thy love,
At the impulse of Thy love.Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee; Take my voice and let me sing always, only, for my King,
Always, only, for my King.Take my lips and let them be filled with messages for Thee; Take my silver and my gold, not a mite would I withhold,
Not a mite would I withhold.Take my love, my God; I pour at Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself and I will be ever, only, all for Thee, Ever, only, all for Thee.
