OPENING PRAYER

CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION We confess to you Lord, what we are; we are not the people we like others to think we are;

we are afraid to admit even to ourselves what lies in the depths of our souls. But we believe that you know us for who we are, yet in Jesus Christ you still love us. Give us courage to put our trust in your guiding power. Raise us out of the paralysis of guilt into the freedom and energy of your forgiven people and, for those of us who through long habit find for-giveness hard to accept, we ask you to break the bondage and set us free. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Contemporary Prayers for Worship (Adapted) Caryl Micklem 1967.

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH from A Brief Statement of Faith

In life and in death we belong to God. Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of

Israel, whom alone we worship and serve. We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God. Jesus proclaimed the reign of God: preaching good news to the poor and release to the captives, teaching by word and deed and blessing the children, healing the sick and binding

up the brokenhearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all to repent and believe the gospel. Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition, Jesus was crucified, suffering the depths of human pain and giving his life for the sins of the world. God raised this

Jesus from the dead, vindicating his sinless life, breaking the power of sin and evil, delivering us from death to life eternal.

For all our family & friends serving in the Military

Our Sympathies

• The National International Mission Committee has

learned from our partners at Mtenthera CCAP church

in Malawi that Rev. Hartley Zulu has been asked to

step down as pastor of the church this month. He had

come to the Mtenthera congregation in October,

2015. Unfortunately he did not fit in well in this posi-

tion. A visiting minister will administer sacraments and

handle pastoral matters until a new minister is called

to serve at Mtenthera. Please keep the church and

Rev. Zulu and his family in your prayers as they move

forward.

• There is renewed violence in the country of South

Sudan. PC(USA) has a partnership in South Sudan and several mission co-workers there. We are hoping

three representatives from that church can come to

the Malawi Mission Network conference as guests of

Pittsburgh Presbytery. The airport is closed and all is

very uncertain and dangerous. Please pray for their

safety and the end of the hostilities.

Church Wide Concerns

To Reverends Doug and Emily Campbell and family on

the death of Doug’s father, David Campbell, who died

June 29, 2016.

To Lisa Spielman, granddaughter of Millie Ferrari on the

death of Lisa’s mother-in-law, Lynn Spielman/

Jack & Kiki Farrow are happy to report that their son, Bucky Farrow is “still slowly getting better” from nerve damage in his midsection and lower extremities. He is able to work and drive. They are most grateful for the prayers of their FPCP church family.

Elder Biographies:

Kathy Bernard - I have been nominated to serve a second, non-consecutive term as an elder of the

National/International Mission Committee. I have been married to Jim for 28 years and we have two children,

Matthew (23) and Jessica (21). We have been members of FPCP since 1995 and feel deep gratitude for having

raised our family in this church. There have been many opportunities to serve and to grow in faith over the

years. I have been involved with Christian Education—teaching Sunday school since 1997 primarily as a

confirmation co-teacher for the past 12 years, served in the LOGOS/Bridge ministry for 17 years, been active

in the Crossroads college-age ministry since 2013 and have served on the National/International Mission

Committee since its inception in 2006. I have been blessed to have nurtured my personal faith through

multiple weekly Bible studies, participation in local mission activities in Detroit as well as participation in 5

youth mission trips plus 3 trips with our church family to Colina de Luz Christian Home for Children in Mexico

and 5 trips to Malawi to our partner church, Mtenthera CCAP. I am excited to return to involvement on the

Session and look forward to being a part of what the Lord has in store for FPCP over the next three years.

Martha Boeve - I am married to Kurt Boeve. We have two sons, Luke, a senior at Hope College, and Mark,

a freshman at University of Michigan. We moved to Northville in 2010 and have been members of FPCP since

2011. I have served briefly on our Worship Committee, volunteered at the Thrift Shop and also at Crossroads

of Michigan. I look forward to the opportunity to serve on the Session

Barbara Bullotta - I have been married to Ronald Bullotta for 31 years. We have a blended family of six

children, and we are blessed with five grandchildren. Three of our children live out of state including

Houston TX, Pittsburgh, PA and Bethesda, MD, and three live in the greater Detroit Metropolitan area. We

love to travel to visit all of our family, look forward to our annual trip to Hilton Head, SC, and we have been

fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to several countries in Europe, as well as throughout the United

States. My husband, a Catholic, and I share our Christian faith in our daily lives with the extra added bonus of

benefitting from two wonderful churches in the Plymouth area, First Presbyterian Church of Plymouth and Our

Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church. I retired in 2015 from Macomb County where I was employed as a

Case Manager assisting with job training and placement activities for low income, out of work participants. I

have also been employed as a teacher in various areas of employment rehabilitation working in four states. I

hold a BA from Saginaw Valley State University and an MAT with Oakland University. I am a lifelong Presbyter-

ian; and have been honored to serve as Deacon at two other churches. I became a member of FPCP in the fall

of 2000. I have volunteered for VBS for five years, I assisted with the presentation of a Job Search Seminar

provided by FPCP, and have also participated in Bible studies and book discussions. I am now looking forward

to serving our church in a larger capacity as an Elder.

Johanna Kissel - I am honored to have been asked to serve on Session to represent the Local Mission

Committee. My husband, Gery, and I have been members of FPCP since 1997. We have two teenage

daughters, Halley and Corinne, who are involved with the Youth programs at Church and keep us busy with

their active schedules. Past activities I have been a part of at FPCP include: Vacation Bible School, Sunday

School Teacher, Grief Support Facilitator, AMP Bible Study, and the Local Mission Committee. I have also had

the honor to serve on the Board of Deacons. In my free time, I enjoy reading the latest bestsellers, traveling,

and meeting a friend or two for coffee and conversation. Thank you for this opportunity to serve!

Megan, who are also married. We have one granddaughter and another on the way! We joined FPCP in 2008.

Lisa and I have been involved in the Salvation Army bell ringers and the Giving Tree during the Christmas sea-

son. We also contribute to our sister church in Malawi, particularly outfitting the girls dormitory. I was a Stew-

ardship Elder in my former church. I am a Wayne State University graduate with a BA in Business. I have an

MBA with a logistics concentration from Florida Institute of Technology’s satellite program. I have been em-

ployed with one company for over 33 years and am approaching retirement. I enjoy cycling, travel, outdoor

activities and spending time with family and friends.

Jeff Stoner - I have been married to Carol for 33 years. We live in Northville and have two children - Brad

Force. Carol and I transferred our membership to First Presbyterian Church in March 2011. I served as a

FPCP Elder from 2012 to 2015 and have served as a Deacon and on various committees, including Finance,

Building and Grounds, Stewardship, Local Missions and on the parent committee for Young Life of North-

ville/Novi. My interests outside of church and work include many outdoor activities (all seasons), classic cars

and boats.

Deacon Biographies:

Dana Hearn - I have been married to Chester “Chet” Hearn for nearly 21 years. Our family have been

members of First Presbyterian Church of Plymouth since April 2005. We are the proud parents of two

wonderful daughters, Sarah (14 and Candace (10). Both girls attend Plymouth/Canton Community Schools.

Since joining FPCP, I have assisted with Vacation Bible School, teaching Sunday School, decorating the

church for Christmas, writing greeting cards, and the foster children Meet and Greet. I hold a BA in Biology

and MBA. Currently, I am employed with Inventive Health and have participated in the company’s Commu-

nity Service days such as delivering meals for the Meals on Wheels program. My other interests include

working outdoors, gardening, reading, travel and spending time with family.

Jessie Hollingsworth - I have been a member of the First Presbyterian Church for 14 years. My

husband, Richard Felcher, and I have 4 children and 6 grandchildren. I participate in the Women’s

Wednesday morning Bible study and am in the Willing Hands and Prayer Shawl ministries.

Heather Balog Kirkland - I joined FPCP in 2005 after moving to Plymouth, MI from Lafayette, IN with

my husband Dave Kirkland in 2004. We have been married for almost 18 years. Together, we have one

daughter, Sydney, who is 8 ½ years old. I have served at FPCP as a past member of the chancel choir and a

past Elder where I served on the Christian Nurture Committee. I am currently active as a VBS volunteer and

have taught Path (i.e., Sunday School) for the past four years. I work as a speech-language pathologist and

own a private practice in Plymouth, MI. My work with children and families on a daily basis allows me to

care for people in a Christ centered way while maintaining a family balance. In my free time I enjoy

spending time with my family and reading.

Jan Sockolosky - Jim and I married in 1970. We have three children and three grandchildren. After

receiving two degrees in design (art) from U of M, I worked as an artist at the Children’s Museum for the De-

troit Board of Education before our children were born. We became members of this church in 1977. I served

as an Elder 1994-97. My church activities include Bible study for over thirty years and Emily’s A.M.P. group for

ten years. I’ve been active in Presbyterian Women as a member of A.C.T.S. Circle, co-moderator, coordinating

team member, and as founder and leader of Willing Hands Circle. Jim and I were the church gardeners for

twelve years. I’ve designed sanctuary banners, made life-sized angels to hang in the chancel, and produced

the “Memorials and Gifts” book for our church’s 180th Anniversary. Our partnership with Mtenthera has led

me to come regularly for weekly prayer and to accompany guests from Malawi on “field trips.” Each morning

I provide prayer support for Crossroads, our church’s ministry to college age young people. My faith journey

began with infant baptism in a Presbyterian Church. In 1987, I had a life changing experience where I became

deeply aware of my great need for forgiveness and knew that Jesus had died for me, followed by weeks of

intense connection with the Holy Spirit. I am a work in progress with much to learn.

Stacy Wennstrom - I live in Canton with my husband, Jon and stepdaughters, Marina and Mira. Our

family joined FPCP in the spring of 2015. I volunteer at the Thrift Shop and am eager to serve as a Deacon. I

work for a medical journal at the University of Michigan. I enjoy cooking, reading, classic movies and yoga.

In my previous church, I worked in the nursery and organized volunteers for Alpha House, an

interfaith shelter in Ann Arbor.

Kim Pierson - I have been married to Laurie Pierson since 1998 and we have 4 sons. Aidan (16), Owen (15),

Luka (13) and Zander (Alexander, 10). We have been members of the church since 2006, just before Zander

was baptized. Since being a member here, I have been involved with Emily’s grief support group, and the mis-

sion trip to Colina this year. Other than that, I have no previous service related activities with the church. I’m a

high school graduate from Edsel Ford High School, Dearborn, and have been working the construction indus-

try for most of my life. I started as a laborer and worked my way to my current position as a Project

Superintendent. Wayne Krupin was once my boss, some years ago. My hobbies and passions are golf and

fishing with my family. My faith journey is a meandering path from Catholicism, through the Unity Movement,

to finally arriving here at First Presbyterian, fueled by God whom I met through a 12-step group.
