Call to Worship - adapted from Psalm 63 (11:00) Tim CanningOne: O God, You are our God, All: We seek you, our spirits thirst for you. One: We have searched for you in all places,All: And we have seen your power and glory.One: We sing to you, O Lord, for comfort and help.All: You have been our help and calmed our being. One: Our souls clings to you, All: your right hand upholds us. Let us worship God.

*Hymn 244 - This Joyful Eastertide VRUECHTEN

*Call to Confession (8:15 - 9:30) Jim Brown; (11:00) Amy Kennemur

*Prayer of ConfessionForgiving God, we come to you to confess our sins. So often we see those around us who are in need; who are sick and suffering; who do not know your healing power. We ignore them. We pretend we do not see their pain. When we turn from their suffering, we turn our backs to you, O Lord. We have not cared for our neighbors as ourselves. We have not been a healing presence in the world. Healing God, we ask that you forgive us of our failings. We ask that you help us to relieve the hurt and suffering in the world. Allow us to be a comforting and caring presence to those around us. We pray all these things in Your son’s name, Amen.

*Affirmation of Faith from A Brief Statement of Faith(11:00) Sid Hunt

We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God. Jesus proclaimed the reign of God: preaching good news to the poor and release to the captives, teaching by word and deed and blessing the children, healing the sick and binding up the brokenhearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all to repent and believe the gospel. Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition, Jesus was crucified, suffering the depths of human pain and giving his life for the sins of the world. God raised this Jesus from the dead, vindicating his sinless life, breaking the power of sin and evil, delivering us from death to life eternal. With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Christ Caring for People Through People

The Stephen Ministry mission is “to equip God’s people for the work of ministry” (Ephesians 4:12). In 1975 Dr. Kenneth Haugk, a pastor and clinical psychologist, saw firsthand how the need for congregational care and support extended way beyond what a pastor (or pastors) could provide. God uses Stephen Ministry to change lives, to deepen faith and to provide distinctively Christian care and support to people in churches throughout the world.

Over the last 42 years, more than 600,000 Stephen Ministers representing 12,000 congregations and 170 denominations worldwide have been trained. Stephen Ministry at White Memorial has provided care and support for hundreds of congregation members for 29 years. Today at our 11:00 a.m. worship, we commission 11 Stephen Ministers who have responded to Christ’s call, completing 50 hours of training and committing to serve two years as Stephen Ministers to our congregation. We also commission three Stephen Leaders who have taken Stephen Ministry Leadership Training.

Stephen Ministers to be commissioned: Susan Allen, Jack DeBruyn, Melissa Dombalis, Heather Garrabrant, Raiford Garrabrant, Sue Hane, Carl Hibbert, Toni Hutto, Susan Lewellen, Valerie Pryor and Bill Riddick

Stephen Leaders to be commissioned: Nancy Benninger, Carol Bilbro, Cate Church Norman

WMPC Stephen Ministry Leadership Team, 2018-19: Anne Ramsay, Leadership Coordinator; Tim Canning, Continuing Education Coordinator; Sid Hunt, Supervision Coordinator/New Leadership Coordinator; Beth Lambert, George Ramsay and Carol Bilbro, Training Coordinators; Robert Galloway and Cate Church Norman, Pastoral Staff; Amy Kennemur, Publicity Coordinator; Nancy Benninger, Linking Coordinator.

SUMMER WORSHIP - ORGAN ASSISTANTSWhether you are 7 or 107, have a musical background or don’t know how to read a note, we invite you to be an organ assistant this summer.

Now in its third year, this is an opportunity to sit with Dr. H or Dr. Z at the organ console, set up registrations (sounds), chime the trinity and more. Organ assistant spots will be offered on Sundays June 2-August 25. Sign up at https://doodle.com/poll/8hydiin6m7ua8a99.

MIDDLE EAST COMMITTEE FOR PEACE AND JUSTICEMake plans to join us on Wednesday, May 1 at 7:00 p.m. in C200. The Middle East Committee for Peace and Justice has invited Mohammed Eid, a 29 year old Palestine refugee, who grew up in Rafah camp in the Gaza Strip, to speak. Mohammed is currently a Rotary Fellow pursuing a master’s degree in Global Studies and International Development through a joint program at the University of North Carolina and Duke University. During this talk, Mohammed will share his story of what life is like living and growing up in Gaza and the role the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) played in his life.

AN EVENING OF MUSIC: CELLO AND PIANOWe invite you to a wonderful evening of music on Monday, May 13 at 7:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary. Kirsten Jermé is preparing an exciting program of

works for cello and piano with a fantastic new pianist in town, Bridget O’Leary, who recently relocated here from Kansas City. Our program features vibrantly colorful Sonatas by Frank Bridge and Sergei Prokofiev, and the brilliant one-movement Cello Concerto by Erich Korngold.

INTERESTED IN WALKING THE LAND JESUS WALKED – WITHOUT LEAVING RALEIGH? The Christian Fellowship Class will be offering another segment of the noted video series That The World May Know this summer in C200 each Sunday at 9:15 a.m. In a series of 20-minute videos, historian

and teacher Dr. Ray Vander Laan illustrates how the events of Jesus’ day impacted his life, ministry and communication…and then you’ll learn how it affects yours. Filmed on location in Israel, these Faith Lessons weave together the Bible’s fascinating historical, cultural, religious, and geographical contexts. A structured discussion follows each video lesson. The classes begin after the 8:15 a.m. service and conclude in time for participants to attend the 10:15 a.m. service. Visitors are welcome for all sessions, beginning June 9 and extending through August 11.

DID YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT RUSSIAN EASTER? From the early 18th century, since the time of Peter the Great, Russia exclusively used the Julian calendar, but by 1900 it was lagging 13 days behind its more modern Gregorian counterpart that was predominantly used in the world. Three months after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1918 Vladimir Lenin introduced the Gregorian calendar to establish a time system similar to most nations. So, Russians went to bed the evening of January 31, 1918 and woke up the next morning on February 14, 1918. Today, the Julian calendar is still used for religious purposes and the Gregorian calendar is used in civic life.

The Bible says that Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection occurred around the time of the Jewish Passover, which was celebrated on the first Full Moon following the vernal equinox. Soon Christians began celebrating Easter on different dates. Russian Orthodox Church Christians continue observing the Julian calendar and will celebrate Easter today, April 28th this year while we celebrated it on April 21st.

Russian Orthodox Easter is also called Pascha and Resurrection Sunday. Pascha normally falls either one to five weeks later than Easter as observed by Christians who follow the Gregorian calendar. It is the oldest and most important celebration in the Eastern Church tradition, celebrating Jesus’ resurrection. Easter in Russia is more than a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a long and powerful tradition that even the Communists couldn’t stop. It brings peace, joy and hope. Like us, the Russians look forward to a family feast with their special Easter foods like Easter bread, a traditional cheese cake called Paskha, Easter eggs, and other treats.

The White Memorial Russia Ministry is planning trips to Russia in 2020. If you are interested in learning more please contact Lydia Pickard at Lydia.Pickard@yahoo.com.Look for more interesting facts about Russian culture in future bulletins.
