PRELUDE Pie Jesu (Requiem) Gabriel Faure

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

CALL TO WORSHIP L: At the presence of God, we rejoice: P: glorifying the One who is Parent of all orphans. L: In the presence of Jesus Christ, we listen: P: to the Voice who calls us to humbly serve others. L: Through the presence of the Holy Spirit, we speak: P: making God's love known to the world-forsaken in our midst. L: Let us worship God!

HYMN #263 All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name! CORONATION (See music in bulletin)

PRAYER OF CONFESSION L: God of Power and Peace, We have made our plans, perhaps without Your guidance. We have trusted in our abilities to achieve our dreams. We have wagered everything on our future. P: Lord, forgive us when we reject your guidance. L: Now we find our dreams put on hold. Now we find fears realized. Now we find ourselves in unexpected, unfamiliar territory. Now we are tempted to abandon our God. P: Lord, hold us closer than ever when we grieve. May Your truth overwhelm our doubts. May Your kingdom come now and later. May Your risen son breathe new life into our broken hearts. L: We pray these things by the grace of God, the empathy of the Son, and the sustaining breath of the Holy Spirit.

(Silence is kept for personal confession)

Amen.

DECLARATION OF PARDON L: Beloved, do not be surprised. Our God is gracious to all, restoring us to new life. P: This is the good news which is for us, and for everyone we will meet in the days to come. Thanks be to God. We are forgiven. L: Let us worship 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.

PRESENTATION OF OUR TITHES, GIFTS, AND COMMITMENTS

DOXOLOGY Hymn #606 Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

SCRIPTURE READING: John 17:1-11 (NRSV, Pew Bible p. 879)

17 After Jesus had spoken these words, he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour

has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him

authority over all people,[a] to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is

eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have

sent. 4 I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do. 5 So now,

Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before

the world existed.

6 “I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were

yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that

everything you have given me is from you; 8 for the words that you gave to me I have given

to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they

have believed that you sent me. 9 I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of

the world, but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours. 10 All mine

are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been glorified in them. 11 And now I am no longer

in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them

in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.

SERMON Jesus Prays 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 Your Grace is Enough Matt Maher (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.

PRAYERS FOR OUR CHURCH FAMILY (information as of 5/20/20):

Our friends Helen Boswell, John McCoy on the death of his daughter, Bob and Evelyn Reek, Doug Rolland,

and Connie Thacker on the death of her sister, Carol.

We consider it a privilege to pray for you. Names will be included above for 4 weeks and then removed unless we hear otherwise or the request is updated with Charlene (928-771-8845) or Donna (949-291-1741).

We want to thank everyone for all of their wonderful congratulatory good wishes and beautiful cards for our recent marriage. We are sorry that we cannot thank you in

person. We all look forward to better days ahead when we can thank you in person. God Bless all of you. Tom and Joanne Benson

Let’s get together on Zoom! We are all missing our church family connections and support. As a way to fill this need, Trinity will begin a zoom Sunday morning fellowship time from 9:30 AM to 9:58 AM as a

lead into Sunday worship. In order to participate, simply contact the church office at 928-445-4536 ext 113 or aztrinityoffice@gmail.com and provide your email address. You will

then receive an email with a link that gives access into this virtual gathering. It is important that this link be used only for your own personal entry into the zoom meeting. Please do

not forward or share the link with others. Thank you! We look forward to seeing and greeting many of you through this platform soon.

Trinity is so grateful for those of you who have continued with your giving. If you have not done so, please choose which method of giving best works for you and remain faithful with your

financial support. For your convenience you may continue to contribute by going to www.aztrinitypres.org, clicking on the "Giving (online donations)" tab, and scrolling down the page to the two-toned gold box. Click on the big "DONATE" button that will bring you to a page where

you can easily and securely enter your donation amount. For those of you who prefer to mail in your donations, you may do so. The office staff will

continue to process the U.S. mail as usual. 630 Park Ave, Prescott AZ 86303.

Stewardship Corner

The CARES Act, which was signed into law on March 27, 2020, included two new

charitable tax deductions for the 2020 tax year. The first provision, which will apply to

many of us, allows for individuals to deduct up to $300 of cash charitable deductions

(for example, your annual church giving) even if you do not itemize your deductions.

In other words, if you use the standard deduction, you can still deduct as much as

$300 off of your gross income which will then reduce your taxable income.

The second provision, which will apply to just a few of us, removes the 60% limitation

on charitable contribution deductions for 2020. This would allow for someone to give

100% on their income to charities and be able to deduct all of it.

Please note that these provisions only apply to cash contributions and are not available for contributions to

donor advised funds or gifts to 509(a)(3) supporting organizations.

latest version featuring Debbie Place as speaker sharing her talk

“Trust in the Lord with All Your Heart!”.

THIS WEEK’S ANNOUNCEMENTS

PENTECOST OFFERING: The Pentecost Offering unites us in a church-wide effort to support young people and inspire them to share their faith, ideas, and unique gifts with the church and the world. Psalm 71 testifies that a foundation of faith established during childhood helps ensure lifelong faith and service. Through the Pentecost Offering, you are nurturing the faith of those who are the church to come –children, youth, and young adults. You can give by indicating Pentecost Offering on a check to Trinity, text the word YOUNG to 56512, go to www.pcusa.org/pentecost, or call 800-728-7228 ext. 5047.

THE FRIDAY WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY FELLOWSHIP would like to extend a special invitation to all the women of Trinity to join in on Friday mornings at 9:30 AM to their Zoom gathering online. If this stay at home order has found you with extra time or a need for social interaction and a spiritual lift, please consider joining this special group. Contact the church office at aztrinityoffice@gmail.com or call 445-4526 ext. 113.

RUTH CIRCLE TAPESTRY is coming along beautifully. Thank you to everyone who has dropped off prayer cloths for this project. More material would be much appreciated. If you haven’t done so, open up your linen closet or that blanket chest and see what you have that could be put towards this project of love and hope. Mary B. is happy to arrange a way for you to get material to her. Just send her a quick email at mrbrick1@cableone.net.

VBS HAS BEEN POSTPONED: At this time our VBS program is postponed with the hope of offering it later in the summer. We will keep you informed as to how and when we will move ahead with this valuable and important ministry. Thank you for your patience.

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!

12

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.

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.

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.

THE PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY meets the second Thursday of each month, at 1:00 PM via zoom. 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.
