SAVE THE DATES!

Please make sure to take note of the

dates this year for Summer Fun and VBS! Our church has become a

polling facility and for the safety of

the children we have changed the first and third weeks of Summer Fun

to Wed & Thursday instead of

Tuesday and Thursday to help accommodate this. Also most of our

youth helpers will be gone the last

week of summer so we’ve moved up

our normal VBS week.

Summer Fun:

June 15th, 16th, 21st, 23rd,29th, 30th,

July 5th, 7th, 19th, 21st, 26th, 28th

Kids outgrowing their toys?

Don’t worry they won’t go to

waste! We are currently seeking

several items that could be

the Narthex. Also if you have

something not on the list that may

be of interest, please take a

picture and send it to Amy!

WELCOME - ANNOUNCEMENTS Deedy Francis

* PROCESSIONAL HYMN 305 Come Sing, O Church, in Joy! DARWALL’S

* SCOUT OATH AND LAW

* CALL TO CONFESSION

One: When we see God’s beautiful holiness, we recognize our own lack of holiness.

God is light and truth,

yet we live among shadows and lies.

People of God, let us acknowledge who and whose we are; let us ask our powerful God to illumine us with grace and truth.

Let us confess our sin,

first using the corporate Prayer of Confession,

followed by a time of personal, Silent Confession. Let us pray.

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION

All: God our Redeemer,

we confess that our lives do not reflect your glory.

You shine on us with wonder,

but we fail to see your beauty.

You speak to us with truth,

but we fail to heed your voice.

Forgive us, God of grace.

Lift the veil and open our eyes to your glory;

open our hearts to your mercy;

open our lives to your will;

through Jesus Christ our Lord...

* SILENT CONFESSION

* ASSURANCE OF PARDON

One: Amen. All of us, with unveiled faces,

seeing the gory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image

from one degree of glory to another,

for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit. In Jesus Christ we are forgiven and transformed!

All: Praise be to God!

Large print Bulletins and Hearing Amplification Devices are available.

Nursery provided for infants through 2-year-old children.

* CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE - Gloria Patri #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.

THE PROCLAMATION OF GOD’S WORD

A TIME FOR ALL GOD’S CHILDREN Cyndee Hazel

(Following this, children ages 3, 4, and 5 may leave for Children’s Church)

PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION

All: Holy God, you revealed to the disciples

the everlasting glory of Jesus Christ.

Grant us, who have not seen and yet believe,

the gift of your Holy Spirit,

that we may boldly live the gospel

and shine with your transforming glory

as people changed and changing

through the redeeming presence of our Savior. Amen.
