GATHERING IN THE PRESENCE OF THE RISEN CHRIST

VOLUNTARY When Morning Gilds the Skies Robert Hobby

INTROIT Come, My Way, my Truth, My Life Ralph Vaughan Williams Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life: such a way as gives us breath; such a truth as ends all strife; such a life as killeth death. Come, my Light, my Feast, my Strength: such a light as shows a feast; such a feast as mends in length; such a strength as makes the guest. Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart: such a joy as none can move; such a love as none can part; such a heart as joys in love.

SALUTATION The Rev. Dr. Russell C. Sullivan, Jr.

One: The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Many: And also with you.

CALL TO WORSHIP

One: Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Many: In you, we come home – to rest, to wrestle, to love, to be loved. We dwell in you.

One: Before the mountains were born, before you delivered the whole world, from everlasting past to everlasting future, you are God. Many: In you, we are home – we dream, we flourish, we fade, we rejoice. We dwell in you.

† Those able are invited to stand Bold text is read or sung by all

† PRAYER OF CONFESSION

The Rev. Dr. Russell Sullivan, Jr. Your holiness, O God, commands that we confess: We have neither loved our neighbors as ourselves nor honored ourselves as your beloved creation. We have judged unjustly, regarded others ungenerously, profited at the losses of those near and distant, borne grudges, desired vengeance, and kept silence in the face of wrongdoing. We long to live in accord with your desire that your way of compassion, kindness, and honesty will govern our hearts and minds, turning us toward lives of peace. Forgive us and lead us. Amen.

† KYRIE

† ASSURANCE OF PARDON

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.

† AFFIRMATION OF FAITH

The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

† THE PEACE

One: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Many: And also with you.

OFFERING OF TITHES AND GIFTS TO GOD (Text 267-367-4910 to give)

ANTHEM For the Beauty of the Earth Arr. by John Ferguson

For the beauty of the earth, for the beauty of the skies, for the love which from our birth over and around us lies: Christ, our God, to thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise. For the wonder of each hour of the day and of the night, hill and vale and tree and flower, sun and moon and stars of light: Christ, our God, to thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise. For the joy of ear and eye, for the heart and mind’s delight, for the mystic harmony linking sense to sound and sight: Christ, our God to thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise. For

the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child, friends here and friends above; for all gentle thoughts and mild: Christ, out God, to thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise. For each perfect gift of thine, peace on earth and joy in heaven; for thyself, best gift divine, to our world so freely given: Christ, our God, to thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise.

ANNOUNCEMENTS AND NOTICES

WEDNESDAY NIGHT FORUMS, JUNE 23 AND 30, 6:30 P.M.

Educating God's People Core Team has planned two interesting Wednesday Night Forums. Instead of ZOOM presentations on these two evenings, you are invited to Morris Medley, the home of former members Jack and Mildred Morris and now the summer retreat of their daughter, Ann Markley. This property is near the intersection of Route 39 and Route 22 in West Hanover Township. You may learn more about it at

Morrismedley.com. Plan to attend, fellowship with other members, experience the beautiful labyrinth, stroll the property, enjoy several gardens including a butterfly garden, and share insights around some questions presented in our recent Forum with Cheryl Galan, Interim Executive Presbyter. You should bring a lawn chair and perhaps a cool drink and bug spray. The address is 7917 Hanover Road, Harrisburg, PA 17112. This is a casual event for all ages. This will take about an hour, but you are free to linger if the weather is good. The Team hopes to see you there! There are no restrooms at Morris Medley, but some nearby. If you have questions, or get lost, you can call Beth Alwine at (717)877-9904 or Eileen Kunkle at (717)329-8581. Please RSVP to eileenkunkle@comcast.net so we have some idea of numbers. If you use a map program and/or GPS, be sure to use the zip code since there is another Hanover Road in Harrisburg. There will be a limited number of maps available at the Welcome Center.

FLOWER DEDICATION

The flowers at the pulpit are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of Donald W. and Dorothy C. Humphrey by Douglas, Carolyn, Ashley and Lydia Humphrey.
