HYMN #487 When Morning Gilds the Skies LAUDES

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

DOMINI

† PRAYER OF CONFESSION

The Rev. Heather M. Sigler Gracious and loving God, you invite us to the table, yet we resist your grace. It is sometimes easier to float around outside of the Christian community than to invest fully in it. You invite others to the table as well sometimes people whom we do not see as worthy, and sometimes people who make us feel unworthy ourselves. We put up barriers in places where you long to create circles of love and faith. We repent from these sins and ask you to forgive us for these and all of our trespasses. † SILENCE FOR PERSONAL CONFESSION † KYRIE † ASSURANCE OF

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

Amy Chick

The Rev. Margaret Shoeman

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.

COVID-19 UPDATE

As you are probably aware, there has been another increase in COVID cases in the Central Pennsylvania region, particularly due to the highly contagious Delta variant. Recently, Dauphin County and Cumberland County reached a moderate positivity rate. The CDC has once again updated its COVID-19 guidelines, urging those who live in counties with substantial or high levels of community transmission to wear masks in indoor spaces, no matter their vaccination status. Communications from the Carlisle Presbytery also remind us that we must consider the well-being of children, the immunocompromised, and any others who are not eligible to receive the vaccine. While there has been no decision to change health or safety guidelines at Pine Street, worshipers are encouraged to comply with the CDC recommendations and feel comfortable wearing masks during worship.
