*Call to Confession

*Prayer of ConfessionO God, you encourage through the generations that all your children should be one in Christ. And yet, we often work against that. Forgive us of our lack of faith, understanding, and hospitality, which lead to our divisions. Deliver us from our narrow-mindedness, our bitterness, and our prejudices, that block us from truly seeing our neighbors. Teach us to recognize the gifts of grace among all of our beloved that we may truly love you and love our neighbors, encouraging one another in your name. Amen.

*Assurance of Pardon

*Passing of the PeaceOne: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.All: And also with you.

WE RESPOND TO GOD’S WORD

Prayers of the People and 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; 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.

Presentation of Tithes and Offerings

Offertory Anthem - Thee We Adore T. Frederick H. Candlyn (1892–1964)Thee we adore, O hidden Saviour, thee, who in thy sacrament art pleased to be; both flesh and spirit in thy presence fail. Yet here thy presence we devoutly hail. O blest memorial of our dying Lord, who living bread to all doth here afford! O may our souls for ever feed on thee, and thou, O Christ, forever precious be. Fountain of goodness, Jesu, Lord and God, cleanse us, unclean, in thy most cleansing flood; increase our faith and love, that we may know the hope and peace which from thy presence flow. Christ, whom now beneath a veil we see, may what we thirst for soon our portion be, to gaze on thee unveiled, and see thy face, the vision of thy glory and thy grace.

*All who are able may stand.

*Affirmation of Faith from Apostles’ CreedI 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,

he descended into hell;the third day he arose 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.

WE GO IN GOD’S NAME

This summer we are preaching through the many “each other” and “one another” texts in the New Testament. During Associate Pastor Cate Church Norman’s Installation service this spring, the Pastor of Durham Presbyterian Church, Franklin Golden, read through all 59 of these and presented Cate with a piece of art (left) depicting them. They are as challenging as they are beautiful. Each of them serves as a snapshot of the behaviors which can define Christian life. We hope you find in them both deep meaning and authentic challenge as we encounter many of them in our worship this summer.
