MORNING WORSHIP The time has come... Rev. Gavin Lymberopoulos EVENING WORSHIP My Beloved is mine and I am His Dr. Liam Goligher June 24, 2018

2 MORNING WORSHIP 9:00/11:00 AM Prelude My Faith Has Found a Resting Place arr. Mark Hayes My faith has found a resting place, not in device nor creed; I trust the ever-living One, His wounds for me shall plead. I need no other argument, I need no other plea, It is enough that Jesus died, and that He died for me. My heart is leaning on the Word, the living Word of God, Salvation by my Savior s name, salvation through His blood. My great Physician heals the sick, the lost He came to save; For me His precious blood He shed, for me His life He gave. The Lord s My Shepherd Bob Chilcott The Lord s my Shepherd, I ll not want. He makes me down to lie in pastures green: He leadeth me the quiet waters by. My soul He doth restore again; and me to walk doth make within the paths of righteousness, e en for His own name s sake. Yea, though I walk through death s dark vale, yet will I fear no ill: for Thou art with me and Thy rod and staff me comfort still. My table Thou hast furnished in presence of my foes; my head Thou dost with oil anoint, and my cup overflows. Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me: and in my Father s house alway my dwelling place shall be.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen. * Congregation standing

Be Thou my wisdom, be Thou my true word; be Thou ever with me, and I with Thee, Lord; be Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son; be Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Each summer the teens together raise $90,000, which goes to various needs such as: field trips for 250 kids each day for Spruce Hill Camp and 100 kids in Northeast Camp, a new roof we will build for a school in Puerto Rico so that it can remain open (it s the only school in the area that has programs for kids with special needs), gifts to our partners so they can continue the work year-round, and meals and transportation for the team doing urban farming in Buffalo, NY. The missions trips are a large part of our vision at Tenth for discipling teens in their pursuit of Christ. Our theme this summer will highlight various heroes in the Bible (many of them young people), who through faith, demonstrated the power and love of God. Cash or checks made payable to Tenth Presbyterian Church, with June Project of the Month on the memo line, may be placed in offering plates or one of the oak boxes at the Sanctuary entrances. * Congregation standing

We pray these things in the name of Your most precious Son, Jesus Christ. Amen. * The Gospel s Assurance of Pardon Romans 5:1 2 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

5 * Offering Prayer Offertory: We Sing the Mighty Power of God arr. Dale Grotenhuis We sing the mighty power of God that made the mountains rise, that spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies. We sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day; the moon shines full at His command, and all the stars obey. We sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food; He formed the creatures with His word and then pronounced them good. Lord, how Your wonders are displayed, where er we turn our eyes; if we survey the ground we tread or gaze upon the skies. There s not a plant of flower below but makes Your glories known, and clouds arise and tempests blow by order from Your throne; while all that borrows life from You is ever in Your care, and everywhere that we can be, You, God, are present there.

My Beloved is mine and I am His (The evangelistic imperative) Dr. Liam Goligher Prayer * Hymn 407: The Day You Gave Us, Lord, Is Ended St. Clement * Benediction Postlude: Alla Marcia Robert Elmore Colin Howland, organ THE SHORTER CATECHISM, circa 1647 One of the documents that explains what our church and denomination believe is known as the Shorter Catechism. We are including in the bulletin a series of questions and answers dealing with some of the essential doctrines of our faith. Question 47: What is forbidden in the first commandment? Answer: The first commandment forbiddeth the denying, or not worshiping and glorifying the true God as God, and our God; and the giving of that worship and glory to any other, which is due to him alone. * Congregation standing
