      May God be with you in worship there.

Children may depart the sanctuary with their teacher for our Summer of Sharing program. They will
        return to the sanctuary before communion.

CALL TO RECONCILIATION
      The triune God mercifully and graciously invites us into a relationship of wholeness.
      In humility and truth, let us confess the sin that keeps us from the life God intends.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
      Triune God, within your own life there is mutuality, equality, and unity in
      diversity. Though we are made in your image, we confess that we distort the
      triune life. Instead of seeking mutual welfare and the common good, we seek
      our own gain. Instead of living in equality, justice, and respect, we construct
      systems that are unjust. We devise ways to elevate ourselves over others, and
      disrespectful thoughts, words, and actions still surface in us. We allow
      differences to divide us and lead to brokenness. Holy God, forgive us. Restore
      in us, and in our life together, the divine image you intend. Make us tender in
      mutuality. Make us generous in equality. Make us grateful in diversity. We
      pray to be one with you and one another, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      Amen.        Silence is kept.

POURING OF THE BAPTISMAL WATER
      Remember your baptism and be thankful!

ASSURANCE OF PARDON
      Friends, we are still standing in the grace of Christ. Because God’s love has been
      poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, we are set free to love God and
      neighbor, and to work for the reconciliation of the world.
      We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God!

*GLORIA PATRI                                                                          GREATOREX
      Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
      As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

*PASSING OF THE PEACE
       Since we have been reconciled to God, let us also be reconciled to one another.
       The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. And also with you.

*SUNG RESPONSE (Hymn 623)

       I’ve got peace like a river; I’ve got peace like a river,
       I’ve got peace like a river in my soul.
       I’ve got peace like a river; I’ve got peace like a river,
       I’ve got peace like a river in my soul.

       I’ve got joy like a fountain…

       I’ve got love like an ocean…

                                               THE WORD
PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION
      Holy, Holy, Holy One, guide us by the Spirit of truth to hear the Word of life as you
      speak, and to give all glory, honor, and praise to your threefold name; through Jesus
      Christ our Lord. Amen.

SERMON                                       “Peace with God”                  Rev. Matt Curry

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH                                      from the Brief Statement of Faith
      We confess and acknowledge one God alone, to whom alone we must cleave,
      whom alone we must serve, whom only we must worship, and in whom alone
      we put our trust. Who is eternal, infinite, immeasurable, incomprehensible,
      omnipotent, invisible; one in substance and yet distinct in three persons,
      the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. By whom we confess and believe
      all things in heaven and earth, visible and invisible, to have been created,

to be retained in their being, and to be ruled and guided by his inscrutable
       providence, for such end as his eternal wisdom, goodness, and justice have
       appointed, and to the manifestation of his own glory.

INVITATION TO THE LORD’S TABLE

THE GREAT PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
      The Lord be with you. And also with you.
      Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord.
      Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
      It is right to give our thanks and praise…
      …who forever sing to the glory of your name:

       Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might.
       Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.
       Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
       Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest!

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.

BREAKING OF THE BREAD & THE COMMUNION OF THE PEOPLE
      All who seek God are invited to the table, regardless of church affiliation or any other condition or
      identity. You may take communion by taking a small piece of bread and dipping it in the cup. Pre-
      packaged elements are also available in baskets for a contact-free option.

PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
      Holy Spirit, you have filled us with your life. Christ our Savior, you have
      embraced us in your love. God our Mother, you have fed us with your grace.
      Now send us out into your beloved world to share your life, your love, your
      grace with all. Blessing and honor and glory to you, holy, holy, holy Lord.
      Amen.

providing hamburgers, hot dogs, and drinks. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share.
Our High School Youth left this morning for a week at the Montreat Youth Conference.
Please hold Stephanie, Anna, Harley, and Lucy in your prayers as they grow in faith and have
fun together.
Summer of Service is the theme of this year’s Wisdom Books series for kids, which will be
held during worship at the normal Worship & Wonder time. Our young disciples will read a
book together and connect its message with ways they can serve others. Volunteers are
needed to lead these sessions. Contact Marsha Nash, Jeff Moles, or Stephanie Dube if you
can help.
Hearing Assistance Devices are available. Please see an usher if you would like to use one.
