*Hymn 754 – Help Us Accept Each Other BARONITA
Prayers of the People and 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.
Presentation of Tithes and Offerings
Offertory Anthem - Now Let Us All Praise God and Sing Gordon Young (1919-98)Now let us all praise God and sing our great Redeemer’s praise; that we may all with one accord our joyful voices raise. Sing Alleluia! All ye servants of the Lord, praise God forever; sing Jehovah’s mighty power, praise God forever; sing of his righteousness, praise God forever.
*Offertory Response - Doxology OLD HUNDREDTHPraise God, from whom all blessings flow;Praise God, all creatures here below;Praise God above, ye heavenly host:Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
*Affirmation of Faith Portions of the Brief Statement of Faith (1991) We trust in God,
whom Jesus called Abba, Father.In sovereign love God created the world good
and makes everyone equally in God’s image,male and female, of every race and people,
to live as one community.But we rebel against God; we hide from our Creator.
Ignoring God’s commandments,we violate the image of God in others and ourselves,accept lies as truth,exploit neighbor and nature,and threaten death to the planet entrusted to our care.We deserve God’s condemnation.
Yet God acts with justice and mercy to redeem creation.In everlasting love,
the God of Abraham and Sarah a covenant peopleto bless all families of the earth.
Hearing their cry,God delivered the children of Israel
from the house of bondage. Loving us still,
God makes us heirs with Christ of the covenant. Like a mother who will not forsake her nursing child, like a father who runs to welcome the prodigal home,
God is faithful still.
WE GO IN GOD’S NAME

This summer we are preaching through the many “each other” and “one another” texts in the New Testament. During Associate Pastor Cate Church Norman’s Installation service this spring, the Pastor of Durham Presbyterian Church, Franklin Golden, read through all 59 of these and presented Cate with a piece of art (left) depicting them. They are as challenging as they are beautiful. Each of them serves as a snapshot of the behaviors which can define Christian life. We hope you find in them both deep meaning and authentic challenge as we encounter many of them in our worship this summer.
If you have experienced a birth, marriage or death you want to share with the church, email Rebecca Turner at [email protected]. If you have a relative or church friend who is hospitalized, call the church office or email Amy Claprood at [email protected] so our pastoral staff can reach out.
