Hymn “We Praise You, O God”

Children’s Message

We praise You, O God, our Redeemer, Creator; In grateful devotion our tribute we bring We lay it before You; we kneel and adore You. We bless Your holy name; glad praises we sing. O God of our fathers and mothers, we bless You. Through struggles and tempests our guide You have been. When perils o’er take us, You will not forsake us, And with Your help, O God, our struggles we win. With voices united our praises we offer. And gladly our songs of thanksgiving we raise. With You, God, beside us, Your strong arm will guide us. To You, our great Redeemer, forever we praise.

Youth Song “Only Wanna Sing”

This is no performance Lord I pray it's worship Empty words I can't afford

I'm not chasing feelings That's not why I'm singing You're the reason for my song

I only wanna sing If I sing with everything If I sing for you my King I can't imagine why I would do this all for hype Cause it's all to lift You high

You don't want perfection Just my soul's attention All I have is what I'll give

More than a song that lasts a moment I'll live a life full of honest worship If I'm here to sing then I'll sing with purpose

Bible Reading

Matthew 13:1-9

That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. Such great crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat there, while the whole crowd stood on the beach. And he told them many things in parables, saying: “Listen! A sow-er went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell on the path, and the birds came and ate them up. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and they sprang up quickly, since they had no depth of soil. But when the sun rose, they were scorched; and since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Let anyone with ears listen!”

Pastoral Prayer Pastor Dave

The Lord’s Prayer Pastor Dave and Everyone (using debts and debtors)

Hymn “Abide With Me”

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide.

The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.

When other helpers fail and comforts flee,

Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day.

Earth’s joys grow dim; it glories pass away.

Change the decay in all around I see;

O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Benediction Pastor Dave

Congregation Blessing Everyone

“Go now in peace, never be afraid God will go with you, each hour of every day.

Go now in peace, in faith and in love.”

Postlude “Song of Joy” — Boodie

Thank you for joining our parking lot service this morning. We invite you to put a folding chair out-

side in front our your vehicle, but please make sure to keep socially distanced from others. You

may now use the atrium restrooms. Please enter through the farthest right doorway. Be sure to

wear a mask and sanitize your hands prior to using the restrooms.

Please leave the parking lot at the direction of the parking lot attendants. An offering container is

available as you leave if you wish to contribute to our parking lot services. If you are visiting as a

member or attendee of a church other than FCC, please support your church’s ministry. We invite

you to join us next Sunday, July 19th at 10 AM for our next Parking Lot Worship Service.

Our Executive Council has approved a protocol for the use of our outdoor grounds and indoor facili-

ties. We are still discussing an opening date for worship and other church meetings and functions.

We will continue to offer Parking Lot Worship during the summer months even when we reopen our

church for indoor worship.

Thanks to our worship servants today—worship participants, tech support, parking lot helpers, staff,

advertising, worship leaders, trustees, and production crew.

Remember to check out “Mission Possible,” on our FCC website or on Facebook. This is our “At

Home” VBS Experience for this summer.

We are excited to announce that our Church Office is now open, every Tuesday, Wednesday, and

Thursday from 10am-2pm. Please plan your office visits and phone calls for these times if possible.
