2 FALMOUTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH United Church of Christ An Open and Affirming Congregation 10:00 AM SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER MAY 21, 2017 THE COMMUNITY GATHERS THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Jesus does not leave us alone in our discipleship. Love has little meaning outside of a commitment. LIFE OF THE CHURCH HONORING OUR CALL TO BE PEACEMAKERS *Passing the Peace of Christ One: May the peace of Christ be with you. All: And also with you. (As a sign of our reconciliation with God and one another, we invite you to turn and greet those around you sharing the peace of Christ saying: The Peace of Christ be with you. And also with you. ) PRELUDE Morning Has Broken arr. Brant Adams Ann Sanborn, alto saxophone BRINGING FORTH THE LIGHT OF CHRIST CALL TO WORSHIP- Adapted from Psalm 66 One: Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth! All: Sing the glory of God s name. One: Come and see what God has done. God is awesome in His deeds among mortals. All: Sing the glory of God s name. One: Bless our God, O peoples, let the sound of praise be heard. *HYMN OF PRAISE We Sing Your Mighty Power, O God No. 64 *OUR LORD S PRAYER (sung in unison) No. 307 A TIME FOR THE CHILDREN PRAYER OF INVOCATION One: To honor and praise You, O God, All: we come in gratitude and love. One: With great joy and amazement, All: we remember the victory of our Savior, Jesus Christ. One: Therefore, we raise our voices in praise and thanksgiving All: for Your incomparable gift of love revealed in Christ's resurrection. Amen. CALL TO CONFESSION PRAYER OF CONFESSION One: Resurrected Christ, You come to us when we least expect, offering us lives of a different kind of abundance.
3 All: Yet we often fail to sense Your presence with us and misuse Your generous gifts. One: Joyful Spirit, You long to turn our mourning into dancing, to change our funeral clothes into garments of exuberance. All : Sad or afraid, we often struggle to lift our feet to Your music or wear an emotion that matches Your joy. Forgive us, Creator of all, for failing to live in tune with Your love. Even when we have lost faith in You, do not lose faith in us. Make us once again into Your faithful people, inspired and inspiring others. ASSURANCE OF GOD S LOVE AND FORGIVENESS Pastor Michael One: Christ forgives the most impossible sins, overcomes the greatest fears, comforts the loudest cries, and breaks down the strongest barriers to His love and peace. All: Through the resurrection, Christ s power in the Holy Spirit lives and works here and now. One: Brothers and sisters, know that we are forgiven and be at peace. WE HEAR GOD S WORD THE WORD OF GOD New Testament Lesson Acts 17:22-31 (NRSV p. 120; RSV p. 130 ) One: This is the Word of the Lord All: Thanks be to God Gospel Lesson John 14:15-21 (NRSV p. 95; RSV p. 104 ) One: This is the Word of the Lord All: Thanks be to God SERMON Killed by Loving Kindness? Pastor Michael *HYMN Where the Spirit of the Lord Is No. 264 (Sing twice) SHARING OUR JOYS AND CONCERNS PASTORAL PRAYER WE RESPOND TO THE WORD PRAYER RESPONSE Amen McNeil Robinson II OFFERING OUR GIFTS TO GOD The Invitation The Offertory All Things Bright and Beautiful John Rutter *Doxology Praise God from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; praise him above, ye heavenly host: Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. *Prayer of Dedication One: God, your heart is wide open to us. All: You have given to us freely and taught us to return to you a portion of what we have. One: Grant us glad and generous hearts, All: and help us be as open to you as you are to us. One: Help us use your gifts wisely and for the benefit of all your people. All: Amen. *CLOSING HYMN Lord, I Want to Be a Christian No. 589 *BENEDICTION

5 UCC Emergency Appeal for East Africa Famine Famine has officially been declared in South Sudan and, for the first time in recent history, there is a very real possibility of four famines - in Somalia, South Sudan, Nigeria, and Yemen - breaking out all at once. Twenty million people face starvation within the next six months. International aid officials warn that this is one of the biggest humanitarian disasters since World War II. Increased investment in international humanitarian assistance at this moment is critical to assist these people in crisis. In addition, we see that continued funding for peacebuilding programs that prevent violent conflict are critical pieces that help address root causes of poverty and famine. To address the current famine, the global humanitarian community is ready to scale up the response to avert a catastrophe, but requires additional funds immediately to do so. Let's do our part through our prayers, generous contributions, and advocacy with the U.S. government to release emergency funding to meet the catastrophic needs of these four countries and support robust funding for diplomatic, development, and peacebuilding tools, which are critical to our security, and to the well-being of others around the world. We must act now, before it is too late. If you would like to make a contribution, please use the offering envelopes provided in the bulletin and reference OGHS Famine Emergency in the memo of your check. The next Coffee House event will be on Friday, June 9 from 6:30 to 9:00 PM. The featured musicians are Choro Louco. They are a local group who specialize in the unique Choro Brazilian music. This promises to be a musical treat! Come enjoy a beverage and listen to great music. Invite your friends and neighbors to this family-friendly event! PLEASE REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS Robbie Coleman Charlie Grubb Maureen Grubb Mimi Mahirwe Joyce Harmon Bee O Brien Ted Vail Nora VanDusen Our deepest sympathy is extended to Joanne Varga and other family members of Paul Varga. Paul passed peacefully to his eternal rest last week. A memorial service will be held here next Saturday, May 27 at 10 AM. In life and in death we hold fast to the promises of the Gospel. Please let the church office know if we have missed someone. We will keep people on the prayer list for one month. If you would like them to continue on the prayer list, please update us so that we may better pray for them. Thank you. Next Sunday s Lectionary Acts 1:6-14; Psalm 68:1-10, 32-35; 1 Peter 4:12-14, 5:6-11; John 17:1-11
