Blessed with God’s love and grace, we celebrate gifts of diversity.
By Jesus Christ’s example, we welcome, in love, all who rejoice and worship with us.

God’s spirit, given by Christ, flows through us as living water to wash, heal, and satisfy.
As a congregation we become a fountain, sharing this living water with others.

Prelude Concerto in A Minor Vivaldi-Bach Chiming of the Hour Welcome
Introit Dunlap Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God almighty, Heav'n and earth are full of thy glory; Glory be to thee, Most High. Amen
*Call to Worship
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
*Hymn 451 Open My Eyes That I May See
*Call to Confession
*Prayer of Confession
O Lord, we are your people, yet we choose to remain separated from you. We shun your wisdom and your love. In our separation we harm your world, each other, and most tragically ourselves. Help us to see the ways in which we are not attentive to you. Help us to see the wisdom of your ways and to understand the grace you so freely offer. By your loving mercy, help us to live in your light and abide in your ways, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Savior.
(time for silent confession) And let God’s people say: Amen.
*Assurance of Pardon

We believe in God, the Father Almighty, and in Jesus Christ, His Son, our Lord, and in the Holy Spirit. We seek to know God's will, to walk in God's ways, and to proclaim the Gospel to all people, by our lives as well as by our words. We work and pray for the progress of knowledge, the promotion of justice, the reign of peace, and the realization of human unity in our time. And we look with faith for the triumph of righteousness in our community and in our world. Amen.
Call to Prayer (hymn 470)
There is a longing in our hearts, O Lord, for you to reveal yourself to us. There is a longing in our hearts for love we only find in you, our God.
Prayers of the People - with The Lord’s Prayer (ecumenical version) Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

Welcome to First Presbyterian Church (FPC)! No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here. We hope you feel the love that is

Nursery care is available in the Education building. Ask any of the ushers to direct you, if needed.

WORSHIP NOTES
Today is Trinity Sunday, the first Sunday after
Pentecost. We celebrate the mystery of the Triune
God as we progress into what is known as
“ordinary time” on the liturgical calendar.
The lectionary readings for today are Proverbs
8:1-4, 22-31; Psalm 8; Romans 5:1-5; and John
16:12-15. Today’s sermon focuses mainly on the
text from Proverbs and John. With this material
there is some tendency to focus on the formulas
for obtaining wisdom and understanding the
Trinity. Yet, the more rich understanding comes
from accepting the gifts of wisdom and the
knowledge of the relationship we have with all
that God represents.
We welcome Jeff Paris as our guest preacher
this morning. Jeff is a Commissioned Lay Pastor
with the Presbytery and member of Bethel
Presbyterian Church in Kingston. Sharon sends
her greetings from North Carolina. She returns
tomorrow from leading a CREDO conference.
