2 11 a.m. ORDER OF WORSHIP A CELEBRATION OF FREEDOM AND JUSTICE July 2, 2017 Fourth Sunday after Pentecost Welcome (Please complete and pass the red friendship pad at this time.) Dr. Glenn Ethridge Prelude The Star Spangled Banner J. S. Smith Dr. Kellie Rose, Flute Ms. Miranda Tran, Flute Mr. Daniel Cruz, Flute Bidding Prayer The Declaration of Independence [1776] Dr. Amy Morgan As Christians who are Americans, we gather this day to thank God for the gifts of our freedom and liberty. We seek to honor those whose vision, wisdom, and sacrifice secured these unalienable rights for us, and to pledge ourselves to protecting them for all people. We celebrate the vision, but we also confess our human frailty, because we, as a nation, have not always lived to the highest ideals of our creed. We ask God s forgiveness, and we receive the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ through the sacrament of communion. We call upon the Holy Spirit to lead us forward rededicated to freedom and justice for all people in all places. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. *Hymn of Praise America the Beautiful UMH 696 Celebrating and Giving Thanks for Freedom and Justice 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Dr. Joseph McBrayer A Reading from the Preamble to the Constitution [1789] Congregation We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. 1

3 Hymn of Prayer Mr. Atticus Hicks: While the storm clouds gather far across the sea, Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free. Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer: Congregation: God bless America, land that I love, Stand beside her and guide her Through the night with a light from above; From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans white with foam, God bless America, my home, sweet home. God bless America, my home, sweet home. Voices of Prophecy for Freedom and Justice for All Galatians 3:26-29 Dr. Morgan Quotes from Susan B. Anthony [ ] Ms. Joy Trotti A Reading from Chief Seattle [1852] (A letter In response to an offer from a U.S. official to purchase native land) Dr. McBrayer *Hymn This Is My Song UMH 437 A Reading from King s Letter from the Birmingham Jail Mr. Atticus Hicks Solo We Shall Overcome African American Hymn Mr. Hicks Text: Charles Albert Tindley (1901) Holy Communion A Service of Word and Table II UMH 12 The sacrament of communion is a sign and means of receiving God's grace. Therefore communion, like grace itself, is available to all people without regard to age, church membership status, relationship to Oak Grove, or denominational affiliation. The table belongs to God, so all are welcome. There is a mobile station for worshipers who prefer to be served in their seats. If you prefer gluten-free elements, please go to the station to the left of the pulpit. You are always welcome to choose any station by simply walking to the station of your choice. Once you receive the bread, please dip it in the grape juice in the chalice. In our tradition worshipers do not drink from the chalice. After receiving communion you may kneel at the chancel to pray or return to your seat. 2

4 Invitation Dr. Morgan Confession Dr. Morgan Almighty God, we confess that our love has at times been half-hearted. We have failed to love all people at all times, and we have failed as a church to be obedient to your call to love one another, to advocate for justice, to seek reconciliation and peace. We have sinned against you and one another by acts of omission and commission. We have rebelled against your love. We have not loved our neighbors, and We have not heard the cry of the needy. Forgive us we pray. Free us for joyful obedience, Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Pardon and Words of Assurance Christ died for us while we were yet sinners; that proves God s love toward us. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven! In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. Glory to God. Amen Dr. Morgan Our Tithes & Offerings From Sea to Shining Sea Katherine Bates/Samuel Ward Chancel Choir *Doxology UMH 95 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise God, all creatures here below; Praise God above, ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. The Great Thanksgiving UMH 13 Dr. Ethridge Dr. McBrayer Communion Music Dr. Kellie Rose, Flute Ms. Miranda Tran, Flute Mr. Daniel Cruz, Flute Flute Trio Prayer of Thanksgiving Reaffirmation of the Vision A Reading from Inaugural Address of John F. Kennedy [1961] A Reading from Ronald Reagan s Speech at Berlin Wall [1987] Ms. Trotti Dr. Ethridge 3

5 A Reading from Ronald Reagan s Farewell Speech [1989] Dr. Morgan Micah 6:8 Dr. McBrayer Prayers For Our Nation Dr. McBrayer Lord God Almighty, in whose Name the founders of this country won liberty for themselves and for us, and lit the torch of freedom for nations then unborn: Grant that we and all the people of this land may have grace to maintain our liberties in righteousness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. (Book of Common Prayer, p. 242, public domain) Reaffirmation of Our Vision Dr. Morgan We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. *Sending Hymn Battle Hymn of the Republic UMH 717 (Those who wish to join the church are invited to come forward.) *Benediction Dr. Ethridge *Postlude Postlude on God of the Nations M.

Top Floor of New Education Wing to be Completed; Space for Children Expanded The major component of the next building project is the completion of the top floor of the new wing. With the addition of classroom space, conference room space, office space, and a new prayer room, we will relocate most adult classes to the new wing. This frees space in the children s wing. Some of the priority rooms in the children s wing will be renovated to create a more child-like atmosphere. Additional space will be available for assembly of large groups of children in the children s wing. The nursery will have new space, and there will be an area set aside for nursing mothers. The children s department will receive some additional storage space, and there will be other rooms available for storage by other ministries as well. With the children s Sunday School Assembly Room moved upstairs, the Parlor will be available on Sunday mornings for other functions, perhaps even weekly communion on Sunday mornings. The music ministry will receive the benefit of the shifting of space, too. One room will be set aside as a dedicated handbell room. Racks for youth and children s choir robes will have a new home inside one of the classrooms currently used by Oak Grove Christian School. The construction of the new wing was possible because of sacrificial gifts to our previous campaign. With continuous generosity through our second campaign, we will realize completion of the top floor of the new wing.

Some are short, some are tall, some are thin, and some not so much. We are husbands, sons, grandpas, brothers, uncles, friends, and neighbors. We are all different, yet share a common thread that sews us all together. We walk a path that was blazed by Christ, together. We work together, play together, support missions together, and pray together. We love G-Braves baseball, and we throw a mean barbecue! We gather together in God's Holy name, seeking His guidance, praising His majesty. We are all flawed and forgiven, not by our own merits, but by His grace. We gather in fellowship on the second Monday night of each month at 6:15 p.m. Our table is open to all. We are the United Methodist Men of Oak Grove United Methodist Church, and we welcome you each and every one. You may find that we are far more than you ever imagined. We are your United Methodist Men.

Testimonials from Disciple Bible Study Facilitators In my first Disciple class 25 years ago, we gave names and one statement about ourselves. I said, "I am Leslie Mcbee and I hate Bible Study." Raised as a Methodist, my own experience with Bible study had been excruciatingly boring. Ill prepared Sunday school teachers sometimes pushed personal agendas with no discussion, and study was anything but alive and challenging. Disciple Study is different. Experiencing the Bible as one message (with experts in language, history, and archaeology) I discovered a living document. My own journey now has a plan desperately needed in unsure times and circumstances. Study takes time... but what time do we "have?" I pray you feel called as an apprentice/ disciple, and will arrange your schedule for time to understand what God calls us to hear. Leslie McBee Disciple Bible Study is an important part of my life. I am busy with work travel and my share of three kids worth of activities but I have learned that every aspect of my life is better when I prioritize Bible study and daily reading. Getting to know a group of Christians through our common faith strengthens my own faith and hopefully helps strengthen theirs. The Bible is an amazing gift to all of us. It can be challenging, but it is also helpful to have a team of friends and the Disciple resources to help reach understanding. This will be my seventh straight year of Disciple and I plan to continue. Mark Byrne
