* THE APOSTLES’ CREED
I 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, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose 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.
THE 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.
THE OFFERTORY Fairest Lord Jesus Garth Edmundson

THE GATHERING Beth Waltemath Leader: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you.
THE PRELUDE Air Jean Phillipe Rameau
*THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; People: To declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night. Leader: To the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre. People: For you O Lord have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I will sing for joy. Leader: Let us worship God, who has created, redeemed and sustained us. Amen. - Psalm 92
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Eternal God, we are enmeshed in sin. At times we are not even aware of the implications of our actions. We think to ourselves that we have not sinned, but the truth is not in us. We think to ourselves that if we have avoided certain temptations, we have triumphed over evil, but we lack understanding. We fail to realize that simply living in a sinful world makes us sinners. So forgive us, we pray, again and again, and turn our hearts, again and again, that we might seek you and your holiness. Through Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, Amen.
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. People: Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Leader: When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory. Believe the promise of the Gospel: People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. - John 3:16-17 *THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 376) Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit into every troubled breast! Let us all in thee inherit, let us find the promised rest. Take away the love of sinning: Alpha and Omega be; end of faith, as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty.
*THE PASSING OF THE PEACE
Leader: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all! People: And also with you.
THE CONCERNS OF THE CHURCH
(Visitors and members are invited to sign the blue friendship register pad and pass it down the pew.)
THE MINUTE MESSAGE Ibby Bailey and Gus Libby
*THE HYMN 298 There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy IN BABILONE
THE ANTHEM True Light Keith Hampton This little light of mine I’m gonna let it shine. Almighty God is light. He lives in us as True Light. In the beginning, out of the darkness, God created True Light. He lives in us as True Light. Don’t let the light that you’ve given me die, and don’t desert my mind. But let the one who serves you praise you again and again. He lives in us as True Light. You are the one who judges right from wrong. Your glory excites no envy. But let the one who serves you praise you again and again. He lives in us as True Light. This little light of mine I’m gonna let it shine. Everywhere I go, I want the world to know God gave the world True Light! Lenna Turner, Linda Johnson, Peter Chatel, soloists

Also you will introduce our new friends to other members of the congregation.

Children will learn about welcoming everyone.
The Kinumbe-Bauma family enjoys joining us, their family, on Sundays. The Sign-Up Genius has been updated to include dates in July. Since the worship service changed to 10 a.m., the pick-up time will be 9:30 a.m. Please consider giving the Kinumbe-Bauma family a ride and helping them get to know one more member of their church community. http: www.signupgenius.com/go/409044ca5aa28a3ff2-rides.
The beauty about Montreat is that it offers a unique experience that we don’t want you to pass up. Montreat is certainly the place to be to relax your mind, body and spirit. Our retreat will be October 20 - 22. The Reverend Paul Timothy Roberts Sr., President of Johnson C. Smith Theological Seminary in Atlanta will be our guest speaker. If you would like to register, please pick up a registration form in the Narthex and return your completed form with an attached check to the office.
Join us for Donut Days each Sunday (excluding July 2) with Mardee beginning at 9:15 a.m. Children’s Ministries will provide light refreshments in the playground and picnic area so that Mardee can meet the families of the church and get to
know the children better. Families are encouraged to join us for at least one of these but are welcome to attend any or all. It’s great time for children to get a snack and run off some steam before worship at 10 a.m.
This year’s gala is right around the corner. Prepare your calendars for two opportunities to watch Morningside Sings Musical Magic, featuring music from a variety of Disney movies and shows on Saturday, August 19 and Sunday, August 20. Derek Matthews and Jeff Peters are currently preparing to bring you an unforgettable show. Many of the congregation are generously contributing time and talent to bring this year’s benefit production to life. We will continue our tradition of asking members to consider joining our 2017 Morningside Sings Patrons Circle to ensure that production expenses are covered and that we reach our goal of making significant donations to our music programs and mission ministries. Those who contribute $100 or more will enjoy a patrons reception on Thursday, July 13 and be the very first to preview select magical musical moments from this year’s gala.
Volunteers are needed on Saturday, July 15 for painting and ceiling tile replacement at the new Mommy and Me facility at Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church. Mommy and Me is a respected women’s refugee literacy program which also provides child care and enrichment while the students are learning. This is an easy project for adults and teenagers. Help us secure a place in this program for our newest member Georgine Kinumbe-Bauma. Contact Holly Campbell [email protected] for details.
