WORSHIP NOTES
CHILDREN IN WORSHIP Worship materials for children are available from an usher. Nursery care is available in Room 2, lower level, all morning.
TESTIMONY This is a tradition of sharing our faith journey with the hope of encouraging others.
THE CANDLE ON THE TABLE We have lit a candle in celebration of the birth of Megan Elizabeth Miller, the daughter of Scott and Erin Miller, who was born on August 4th. We will keep this candle lit until Megan joins us in worship for the first time as a reminder of this new light in our midst. As we hold vigil for this family, we also hold vigil for those who have lost a child and those who struggle with infertility - in all of life and in death we belong to God.
ALL WHO ARE THIRSTY All Who Are Thirsty serves as our call to confession and opening hymn today, inviting all of us into communion with God. We learned it as a part of worship at Presbyterian Youth Triennium.
READ ALL ABOUT IT PART III Read All About It Part III was released in 2012 by Emeli Sandé in her debut album, Our Version of Events. This song tells of the inner strength and significance found in yourself and everyone around you. During these times of terror it is important to acknowledge the differences which make us who we are, and that these differences shouldn’t be feared. This song is important to me because I believe all people matter, and togetherness is more important than anything. I am not afraid to speak out and deliver this message, for everyone should hear it, and read all about it. - Emma Young
SEEK YE FIRST During Bridges to Bateys trip we sang Seek Ye First as a part of a worship service in La Romana in the Dominican Republic.

Connecting with #FPCCLE Whenever you post a picture on social media of a Fairmount ministry or mission activity, remember to use #FPCCLE to let the rest of the church know what we are doing. Why is a (#) hashtag important? Whenever you put a # in front of words on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, it becomes a clickable link that allows people to find all the posts with that hashtag. It helps bring us all together.
Construction on Fairmount Boulevard The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District has begun a sanitary sewer upgrade on Fairmount Boulevard. The construction will take place on the north side of Fairmount, in the westbound lanes. Traffic will be maintained in one lane, both directions, between Wellington and Idlewood roads.
Welcome to Fairmount Presbyterian Church
Whether you are visiting for the first time or are a longtime member, we are more fully who God wants us, and the world needs us to be, because you are here. And for that we give God thanks. At Fairmount, all are welcome to follow Christ, grow in faith, serve together, and care for all. This is our vision, and we are striving to make it true. We don't all look alike, or act alike, and God knows we don't think alike. We bring different questions, experiences, perspectives, and burdens to the table. But every Sunday, we worship together as one, because we believe God has brought us together for a purpose. In worship, we discover who we are and to whom we belong. This process of discovery isn't always easy. Sometimes we leave church with more questions than answers, but we believe that through studying the ways of Jesus, singing the hymns of our tradition, praying with words and silence, and openly wrestling with the challenges of the modern world, we are strengthened in our call to be disciples of the one who is the light of the world and the hope of all our hearts. It is my hope that you will leave worship today both comforted and challenged by God's presence and this community of faith. God is here, doing what God loves to do - shaking things up with grace to remind us just how much we are loved. After worship, stick around. Grab a cup of coffee in our fellowship hall. Take a walk around our building. Spend a few moments of quiet in our garden, walk the labyrinth outside, or introduce yourself to a member of the church or one of our staff. There are many opportunities here to feed your soul, serve others, and expand your spirit. Try one out. You never know - you might have found your spiritual home.
-Derek Starr Redwine, Senior Pastor

Save The Date: September 18th - Serve Sunday at Fairmount In celebration of 100 years of worship and mission, we are sponsoring fourteen opportunities to serve God at Fairmount and in the community on Sunday, September 18th.

Party of the Century, Friday, October 21 We are looking for volunteers to help with the "Party of the Century," our all-church celebration of Fairmount's 100th birthday on Friday, October 21.
