PRELUDE Andante F. Mendelsson

PASTOR’S GREETING, INTRODUCTIONS, AND LIFE OF THE CHURCH

CALL TO WORSHIP L: Come to God, all who hunger for life: P: for it is God who nourishes us at the Table of Grace L: Come to God, all who are worn out by life: P: for it is God who provides the rest we need. L: Come to God, all who are weighed down: P: for it is God who carries our burdens with us. L: Let us worship God!

HYMN #35 Praise Ye The Lord, The Almighty LOBE DEN HERREN (See music in bulletin)

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

We are so skilled at being in control, at taking charge, Heavenly Father, that we are not very good at resting. We think we have to be constantly busy, so we have no time for You. We are trained to be extremely productive, and so create harried, stress-filled lives. Forgive us, Rest-Giving God. Help us to let go of our distractions, so You can act in us; calm our creaturely activity, so You can re-create us; help us to follow Jesus, not only into discipleship, but into our rest with You.

(Silence is kept for personal confession)

Amen.

DECLARATION OF PARDON L: It sounds so simple. We think it is too simple. But which is the burden you would choose: hate or love; anger or forgiveness; pain or peace? God invites us to receive the gifts which make it possible to have lives of faithful obedience. P: This is the good news: God forgives us and takes our burdens from us. We would let go of them and welcome hope, joy, and grace into our lives. Thanks be to God. L: Let us worship God!

DOXOLOGY Hymn #606 (See music in bulletin)

SCRIPTURE READING (NRSV): Matthew 10:40-42

40 Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous; 42 and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple—truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.

SERMON Welcome Rewards Rev. Dr. Sue Marie Baskette

CONFESSION OF FAITH A Brief Statement of Faith Presbyterian Church (USA)

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.

HYMN My Heart is Filled with Thankfulness Keith and Kristyn Getty

My heart is filled with thankfulness

To Him who bore my pain; Who plumbed the depths of my disgrace

And gave me life again; Who crushed my curse of sinfulness

And clothed me in His light And wrote His law of righteousness

With pow'r upon my heart.

My heart is filled with thankfulness To Him who walks beside;

Who floods my weaknesses with strength And causes fears to fly;

Whose ev'ry promise is enough For ev'ry step I take,

Sustaining me with arms of love And crowning me with grace.

My heart is filled with thankfulness

To him who reigns above, Whose wisdom is my perfect peace,

Whose ev'ry thought is love. For ev'ry day I have on earth

Is given by the King; So I will give my life, my all,

To love and follow him.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING AND INTERCESSION, CONCLUDING WITH THE LORD’S PRAYER

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread;

Page 5: Trinityaztrinitypres.org/200628sm-bulletin-10am.pdf · 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,

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power

And the glory, forever. Amen.

LOBE DEN HERREN14.14.4.7.8

This very strong 17th-century German hymn employs many phrases from the psalms, especially Psalms 150and 103:1–6. It did not receive an effective English translation until the mid-19th century, but has remainedpopular ever since, thanks in part to its stirring tune.

by Leslie Scanlon, Outlook national reporter

There is no question, the 2020 General Assembly will be unlike any the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has seen before.

It’s being held during a stunning season in American life — the aching time when more than 100,000 Americans have died from COVID-19, when protesters fill the streets night after night to protest racial injustice and the police killing of George Floyd, when churches are trying to live into the new realities of worshipping online, when the world seems to tilt in a new direction almost every hour and who knows what will come next? Fittingly, the new theme of this assembly is “From Lament to Hope” — the implications of which seem to expand day by day.

Virtual GA. This will be the first time a PC(USA) assembly has met virtually — all online, a technological challenge both for organizers and commissioners, something that many Presbyterians a generation ago probably never could have imagined. The assembly had been scheduled to meet in Baltimore June 20-27, but the Committee on the Office of the General Assembly (COGA) decided formally in April that, because of the need for social distancing, that couldn’t happen.

New business? This assembly will be much shorter than usual (with plenary sessions streamed online on June 19, 26 and 27) and the agenda will be abbreviated. COGA’s recommendation is to include only business considered “critical and core,” and to refer everything else to the General Assembly two years from now (although commissioners could try to alter that when the

docket comes up for a vote June 19, if they feel there’s particular business – such as action on social justice – that just can’t wait).

There’s a lot on the list to be referred to the General Assembly in 2022 – including PC(USA) policy on climate change, gun violence, financial sustainability, racial injustice, international concerns and much more — and there’s been pushback from some Presbyterian groups to add more business to the docket this year, although time will be tight.

Here’s another possibility. Once the assembly convenes, a commissioner could move to suspend the rules to introduce new business. Such a motion would need a two-thirds vote to prevail — but if enough commissioners feel the PC(USA) needs to speak or act, to offer the assembly’s public witness on the COVID-19 pandemic or George Floyd’s killing or the systemic inequities driving the protests in the streets, that could happen.

Leadership. Much of the “critical and core” business on which the assembly will be asked to vote is not particularly controversial. It includes, for example, confirmation of the election of leaders of PC(USA) agencies and changes in standing rules.

The assembly also will make decisions about leadership, including deciding whether to elect J. Herbert Nelson for a second four-year term as the denomination’s stated clerk – the public face and chief ecclesiastical officer of the PC(USA) – and choosing among three teams of candidates who are standing to serve as co-moderators of this assembly.

A GA like no otheriS

Money. The commissioners also will vote on budgets — budgets that reflect the financial pain of the PC(USA) and the struggles of small churches to survive. A COVID-19 Financial Team is projecting income declines across the denomination of about 25% in 2020 and 2021, and the budgets this assembly will be asked to approve have been scaled back from earlier proposals to reflect that.

The proposed General Assembly per capita rate is $8.95 per member in both 2021 and 2022 — the same as it has been in 2019 and 2020. “An increase to the apportionment rate for 2021 is not politically, or economically, feasible,” a report from the COVID-19 Financial Team states.

Worship and action. The assembly also will include a worship service on June 26 in which Nelson will speak theologically about lament, injustice and hope. Presbyterians are invited to participate online in a series of events — including the Poor People’s Campaign Assembly & Moral March on Washington (being held digitally at 10 a.m. EDT June 20); a Youth Rising event featuring young entrepreneurs of color from Baltimore (at 3 p.m. EDT June 23); and Bible study led by James Elisha Taneti and Mary Florence Taneti, focusing on Lamentations 5:20-21 (in two identical 45-minute sessions, at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. EDT June 24). The offering being taken during opening worship will go to support Youth Rising.

One benefit of a virtual General Assembly: Anyone with internet access can watch online, free

of charge and without registering, either on the GA224 website or the Spirit of GA Facebook page. All business items coming to the assembly can be found at pc-biz.org.

The exact order of business during the June 26 and 27 plenaries is still to be determined, but here’s the outline of the docket (see above, all times are EDT).

New ways. Among the unknowns are how well all this will work and what glitches – technological or otherwise – might emerge, such as how commissioners discern together if they’ve never met in person and can’t spend those extra minutes gathered in small groups to get to know one another, talk through a complicated proposal or to pray together.

Some are mourning the lack of in-person connection and also that visceral sense an assembly provides of being part of a broader connectional church.

This may, however, be the start of a new practice for the PC(USA) — one that’s certainly less expensive and perhaps more flexible. “We are talking about a major transformation in assemblies going forward,” Nelson has said. And also: “I don’t think we’re ever going to be the same church again.”

Let’s get together on Zoom!

We are all missing our church family connections and support. As a way to fill this need, Trinity holds a zoom Sunday morning fellowship time from 9:30 AM to 9:58 AM as a lead into Sunday worship. In order to participate, simply contact the church office at 928-445-4536 ext 113 or [email protected] and provide your email address. You will then

receive an email each week with a link that gives access into this virtual gathering. It is important that this link be used only for your own personal entry into the zoom meeting.

Please do not forward or share the link with others. Thank you! We look forward to seeing and greeting you on Sunday morning!

RETIREMENT ACCOUNT LEGACY GIFTS IN 2020

There have been a lot of changes recently in deferred compensation retirement plans but they still remain as an important candidate to consider for the charitable giving portion of your estate plan. Making a gift from your retirement plan will help support your favorite ministries here at Trinity long after your lifetime. It’s easy to make a gift from your IRAs, 401(k)/403(b), Keogh, or other retirement accounts. Obtain a change of beneficiary form and indicate the amount or percentage of your retirement plan assets that you wish to give when your estate is settled. Please direct your gift to Trinity Presbyterian Church of Prescott, an Arizona nonprofit corporation, 630 Park Ave., Prescott, Arizona 86303. Gifting to a tax-exempt entity such as Trinity also avoids paying income and estate tax on the amounts distributed.

For additional information contact Larry Culver at (928) 776-9951, [email protected], Barbara Poland at [email protected], or Dwayne Warrick at (928) 445-1673, [email protected]. All information and materials provided are of a general and informative nature and do not constitute specific legal, tax, investment, or financial planning advice.

IGNITE YOUTH: God does not call us to be “lukewarm” believers. He wants all of our hearts, all of the time. Let’s grow together and learn how to ignite our faith so that we can do our best to always be believers on fire for Christ. Open to all youth ages 6th grade through 18 years old. Kelsey has been continuing her Wednesday youth group meetings and Sunday school online. If you have not been contacted by Kelsey for links to her ministries, please contact Kelsey Claire at 928-445-4536, ext. 110 or [email protected].

INTERSECTIONS CLASS will begin studying and discussing the book, The Universal Christ, by Richard Rohr, which examines the question of what Christians mean when they say Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ. Father Richard Rohr, OFM, is a Franciscan priest and ecumenical teacher who uses scripture, tradition, and experience to reveal the implications

of this question and to explore the presence and meaning of Christ in our everyday lives. This discussion will begin Sunday, June 28 at 9:00 AM using Zoom until we can meet again in person. If you would like to have the Zoom link sent to you for this ministry, please contact the church office at 928-445-4536 ext 113 or by email to [email protected].

FRIDAY WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY FELLOWSHIP meets Fridays at 9:30 AM and will be meeting through Zoom Meeting until we can meet again in person. If this stay at home order has found you with extra time or a need for social interaction and a spiritual lift, please consider joining this special group. Please consider joining us for fellowship, praise, prayer requests, and brief devotions. Feel free to join at any time; all women are welcome. Questions? Contact Kate at 267-981-3923.

SMALL GROUP MINISTRIES – Martha Circle, Ruth Circle, Prayer Team, Game Night, and the Prayer Shawl Group will all be meeting via the Zoom format, and we will keep you informed as to these meeting times. If you would like to be involved with one of these groups and may not already be on their list of participants, please contact the church office at 928-445-4536 ext 113 or email [email protected]. We will make sure that you are sent a link in order to join. COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS: The year of 2020 has brought many new ways of being and understanding to our doorstep, along with a growing awareness that our society seems to be divided along lines of ideology, race, class, nation, culture, and ethnicity. Engaging in conversations around these topics can be uncomfortable and difficult, so much so that many times they are left for another day. But, with that being said, have you ever wanted to have conversation about race and racism but not known where to turn? When confronted with the news of hate crimes that fill our airwaves, have you ever wondered, “What is going on here?” or thought “I wish I could make a difference, but I just don’t know where to begin.”

Here at Trinity Presbyterian Church we are creating a safe space to begin exploring these and many other questions about race, racism, and where our responsibility as Christians lies in all this. We are approaching this dialogue with the conviction of Matthew 25:31-46 which calls us to actively engage in the world around us in ways that both ignites our faith and awakens us to new possibilities. We join the PC(USA) in being convicted by this passage to act boldly and compassionately to serve people who are hungry, oppressed, imprisoned, or poor. Come and be a part of the dialogue! We will begin by reading and discussing Debby Irving’s book Waking up White and Finding Myself in the Story of Race. This small group begins Tuesday, July 7 from 4:30PM-6PM via Zoom and runs into early fall. Books can be

much panic buying, the food that the cupboard usually buys is not always available. The stores are doing their best, but many of their deliveries are short, and what they do get is exhausted before we can purchase the food needed. Here is what is needed: canned vegetables & fruit, canned meats & fish, peanut butter, beans, rice, pasta, boxed cereal, hamburger and hot dogs, chicken, turkey, ham, margarine, cheese, milk. THANK YOU!

RUTH CIRCLE TAPESTRY is coming along beautifully. Thank you to everyone who has dropped off prayer cloths for this project. Mary B. now has plenty of material for this tapestry and is busy working to finish and display it when we are back together again. Thank you to Ruth Circle and Mary B.
