Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen. PRAYER OF DEDICATION

HYMN “Faith of Our Fathers”

Faith of our fathers, living still, In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword; Oh, how our hearts beat high with joy

Whene’er we hear that glorious Word!

Refrain: Faith of our fathers, holy faith!

We will be true to thee till death.

Faith of our fathers, we will strive

To win all nations unto thee; And through the truth that comes from God, We all shall then be truly free.

Refrain

Faith of our fathers, we will love

Both friend and foe in all our strife;

And preach thee, too, as love knows how By kindly words and virtuous life.

THE ORDER OF MORNING WORSHIP 11TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

10:00 AM JUNE 18, 2017

THE FIRST NOTE OF THE PRELUDE begins our worship. Please

use the prelude time to turn your attention to God’s presence

and help. As worship is not an obligatory offering unto God, but a natural response to God’s goodness, take time to consider all

the reasons, big and small, for which you are thankful unto God. Nurturing our relationships and friendships in fellowship is essential to our life as a congregation, so please continue to do

so following our time of worship.

Those who are able are invited to stand. Latecomers may be seated.

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

APPROACHING GOD

PRELUDE “Prelude in C” BACH

Sadie Kennedy, piano

CALL TO WORSHIP Leader: Sing praises to our Lord:

People: who heals us and makes us whole.

Leader: Give thanks to God’s holy name. People: God’s Kingdom is near to us; God’s peace resides in our hearts.

HYMN #721 “You Are My All In All” JERNIGAN

CALL TO CONFESSION

UNISON PRAYER OF CONFESSION Holy One, why is it that we can grow so weary of doing what is right, yet always energetically do that which we know is harmful to us and others? We nurse seeds of hurt and anger, and wonder why we harvest so much bitterness. We spend too much time comparing ourselves to those around us, and too few moments in

following Christ’s example.

SHARING JOYS AND CONCERNS INTERCESSIONS & PETITIONS

THE LORD’S PRAYER PRESBYTERIAN HYMNAL – PG. 16 (Please use “debts & debtors”.)

celebrate them all! People: Thank God for fathers!

whom we miss dearly here on earth. People: Thank God for the fathers of the past.

Leader: For the men who took in others' children through adoption and foster care.

People: Thank God for the fathers with hearts so big. Leader: For those men who have lost a child to death and must

carry on. People: Thank God for the fathers who are so strong.

Leader: For all the men without children of their own who chose instead to mentor and be a role model for others.

People: Thank God for the fathers in spirit. Leader: For men who have an unplanned child on the way

People: We pray that they step up in responsibility and

help build a family.

ALL: We thank you, Lord, for the fathers who have influenced

our lives in so many ways. We pray that we will honor them in everything we do. Amen.

OUR RESPONSE TO GOD'S WORD

SHARING OUR GIFTS

OFFERTORY “Rondeau” HENRY PURCELL

Senior Choir

Rather than letting our sins gloat over us, Healing God, we would open ourselves to your mercy and grace. As you reach out to heal

us with your forgiveness, may we embrace your love, your mercy, your grace for our lives. As you pour out your Spirit of gentleness, may we bring the peace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to all

the world. In his name. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS

Leader: Sing praises to our God, faithful children. God has heard our prayers and made us whole. People: We will sing our joy to the One who has forgiven us and

made us a new creation. Thanks be to God. Amen.

HYMN OF ASSURANCE “Glory to God Whose Goodness Shines on Me” Glory to God, whose goodness shines on me, and to the Son, whose grace has pardoned me,

and to the Spirit, whose love has set me free. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be. Amen.

World without end, without end. Amen.

World without end, without end. Amen. World without end, without end. Amen. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be. Amen.

SHARING THE PEACE Leader: The peace of the risen Lord be with you.
