10:55 AM Gospel Worship June 19, 2011 Father’s Day

Gathering: Christians gather for worship as the forgiven ones, the thankful ones, the dedicated ones. Our worship is threefold: Confession and Pardon, Word and Witness, and Dedication to Mission. These three parts reflect our life before God: separation, reconciliation, and dedicated service.

ST. PAUL TELEVISION MINISTRY One of the most uplifting experiences of our TV Ministry is reading the numerous letters we receive from TV viewers across the country. They claim St. Paul Church as their

church and share how they are being blessed with this powerful Ministry!

Our Gospel Worship is televised live at 11:00 AM on Sunday morning on Channel 22 (Brighthouse 02). You can also join us on Direct TV (Ch. 376) or Dish Network (Ch. 267)

As we gather for worship, greet those next to you in Christian love ! Welcome, Announcements and Invocation Jerry Spaulding, Lay Leader

Generic brands are fine, but we are not able to accept anything that is expired.

Happy Father’s Day to each and every “Dad” - May you be blessed as you have been a blessing !

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Sonora Dodd of Spokane, Washington, first proposed the idea of a father's day in 1909. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart, a widowed Civil War veteran who was raising six children on a farm by himself. The first Father's Day celebration occurred on June 19, 1910, the month of Smart's birth.

In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation designating the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. President Richard M. Nixon signed the public law that made Father's Day permanent in 1972.

Father's Day has become a day to honor your father, but also a day to honor all men who act as father figures.

Our Healing Prayer Service for the month of June will not take place today as typically scheduled. Please see the July 10th bulletin for July’s Healing Prayer schedule.

Calendar events or changes must be submitted to Kim Smith at 585-4758 by Wednesday, 2 weeks preceding the event to appear in the bulletin!!

A FINAL MOMENT OF REFLECTION

“It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” Galatians 2:20

I hope you have come to see the Lordship of Christ during my ministry. It wasn’t about me, but the Lordship of Christ! After much prayer, thought and consultation, I asked for retirement from St. Paul in 2011. I don’t feel my ministry is over but I personally feel this is the right path to take — even if I have to push the grocery cart at times. I need time for prayer and reflection about the years ahead. It is not easy for Cathy and me to leave. The Pastors and Staff of this church have been outstanding to us and have become our good friends. What a great congregation and leaders to know and love! We have been delighted living here and serving as your pastor. The Bishop has the best interest of St. Paul at heart and is providing outstanding ministerial leadership to carry on the work and spiritual growth of St. Paul. Rev. Bob Martin and Rev. B.J. Foster will receive our prayers and genuine appreciation when they officially begin this ministry on July 1st. Our new address wil be 110 Honeysuckle Lane, Maggie Valley, North Carolina 28751. Our home in the Smokie Mountains near Asheville is a destination we have joyfully anticipated for many years. Thank you for three of the most meaningful, beautiful, and deeply spiritual years of our lives. Your love, prayers and support for us are very much appreciated. God bless you! In Christ,

Dr. Bert Blomquist
