Yolanda Appiah-Kubi, Deacon of the Week

O God, make the doors of this church wide enough to receive all who need love and fellowship Yet narrow enough to shut out all envy, pride and strife. Make its threshold smooth enough to be no stumbling block to children, nor to straying feet But strong enough to turn back the tempter’s power. O God, guide us to sincerely welcome all people created in your image. Show us your presence in those who differ most from us, until our knowledge of your love is made perfect in our love for all your children.

Communion: Invitation to the Table

Reverend Lea

Prayer of Confession

Reverend Lea

Most merciful God, We confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may walk in your ways. Amen. Words of Assurance

Reverend Lea

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:8-9) Giving Thanks

Reverend Palacios

Praise the Lord! Let the earth hear his voice Praise the Lord! Let the people rejoice O come to the Father through Jesus the Son And give Him the glory, great things He has done. O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood To every believer the promise of God The vilest offender who truly believes That moment from Jesus a pardon receives. Refrain.

Then hear, O gracious Savior, accept the love we bring That we who know your favor may serve you as our King And whether our tomorrows be filled with good or ill We’ll triumph through our sorrows and rise to bless you still To marvel at your beauty and glory in your ways And make a joyful duty our sacrifice of praise.

When In Our Music God Is Glorified Cuando Ofrendamos Música al Señor

Congregation John Dautzenberg, Organ

ENGELBERG

When in our music God is glorified, and adoration leaves no room for pride It is as though the whole creation cried: Alleluia! Las notas son escalas de ascensión llevándonos a nueva dimensión Y nuestro culto expresase en canción: ¡Aleluya! So has the church, in liturgy and song, in faith and love, through centuries of wrong Borne witness to the truth in every tongue: Alleluia! No fue Jesús quien salmos entonó aquella noche en que a la cruz marchó Cantemos, pues el triunfo nos granjeó: ¡Aleluya! Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise And may God give us faith to sing always: Alleluia! Amen! Affirming God’s Call We give thanks that you have been guided by God to this moment. As a community of faith, we welcome you into the membership of this church. We pledge to love each other and to work together to grow into the fullness of Christ.

Beginning June 19, we’ll study Jim Wallis’ latest book, America’s Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America. Jim Wallis published his book this year so churches like ours could be leaders in the ongoing struggle for racial justice and racial reconciliation. He takes us through the history of our country and through a careful study of scripture to show how racism is our country’s original sin. He challenges us to turn away from this sin and follow God into a “new America.” During our series, different teachers lead us through a chapter each week, touching on their areas of expertise. As many in our country advocate for more rights and freedom, our book study is sure to be relevant for a time such as this. Don’t miss this series and this opportunity to learn and engage deeply about race, white privilege, sin, and reconciliation. Contact Pastor Elijah.
