BINKLEY MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHURCH JULY 30, 2017 JAZZ SUNDAY THE EIGHTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST Virginia Wieringa, Celestial Timing 5, 2014 BECOMING AWARE The first generation out of slavery invented jazz music.

2 GATHERING MUSIC AS WE GATHER The Old Rugged Cross George Bennard The text is that of hymn 548 Something Bout Believing Duke Ellington Something 'bout believing that keeps me unfolding. Something 'bout believing that makes my soul sing. Something 'bout believing that keeps me holding on to God Almighty. Something 'bout believing that helps my mending, Something 'bout believing that there's no ending, Believing all the way because I'm depending on the God Almighty. I don't light a lamp to see the Sun, Don't need proof of God, Because I know that there ain't a-gonna be but One. Something 'bout believing in God s creation, Something 'bout believing the incarnation. Something 'bout believing that all our nations are under God Almighty. I want to be hip, I want to be cool, I got to be with it all the way, Because I ain't about to be no fool. Something 'bout believing that's greater than pleasure, Something 'bout believing that's more than treasure, Something 'bout believing that's beyond measure, Just one God Almighty. Something 'bout believing that keeps me going, Something 'bout believing my faith is growing. Something 'bout believing that keeps me knowing, I'll see God Almighty. A WORD ABOUT TODAY S SERVICE Precious Lord, Take My Hand The text is that of hymn 628 Come Sunday Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty, God of love, please look down and see my people through. I believe that God put sun and moon up in the sky. I don't mind the gray skies 'cause they're just clouds passing by. Heaven is a goodness time. A brighter light on high. Do unto others as you would have them do to you. And have a brighter by and by. Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty, God of love, please look down and see my people through. I believe God is now, was then and always will be. With God's blessing we can make it through eternity. Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty, God of love, please look down and see my people through. Just a Closer Walk with Thee The text is that of hymn 557 Thomas A. Dorsey Ellington Spiritual Marcus McFaul

PEACE AND JUSTICE LISTENING SESSION: Jesus calls us to welcome the stranger, bring good news to the poor, and set free the oppressed. How do we answer this call? One way is to take a look at the communities around us. What concerns you about Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Orange County? What needs and problems are you aware of and passionate about? Binkley Church will hold a Listening Session, a time for us to share our worries and passions. Our concerns, along with those of other churches, will be taken to a meeting of Orange County Justice United in September. From these concerns, JU will form an action agenda for the next two years. Binkley s Listening Session will be held Monday, July 31, from 7 to 8:30 pm, at the home of Ashley Nissler, 2313 Woodbury Drive, Hillsborough. All are welcome! For more information, please contact Velma Ferrell, Ashley Nissler, or Paul Lindsay.

Would you enjoy sharing familiar Bible stories and traditions of Christmas, Easter, and more with a group of eager students? No experienced required; Stephanie and others would help you get up to speed. We ve had one person already volunteer for twice a month. Perhaps you could do so once or twice a month. Please consider the opportunity. Contact Stephanie Ford for details by phone or ! MARCUS & MAPLE VIEW ICE CREAM - WINNING COMBINATION: Saturday, August 12th from 6-8 pm in the Fellowship Hall.

HYMN SING AND ICE CREAM SOCIAL - Binkley Church is having an Old-Fashioned Hymn Sing on Wednesday, August 23 at 6:00 in the Sanctuary. We ll be singing many of the great old Gospel songs that many of us grew up with, and we d love to include your favorite hymn or Gospel song in the mix. To place your request please contact Daniel Cherrix by Sunday, August 13 th. The Hymn Sing will be followed with fellowship, lemonade, and ice cream in the St. Francis Courtyard. Don t forget to get your requests in to Daniel (daniel@binkleychurch.org or ) by Sunday the 13 th. SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE: There is a box in the narthex to collect school supplies for children who need them. Please donate paper, pencils, pens, notebooks and backpacks. Many thanks! PROGRESS AT THE SOUTH ESTES GARDEN: Last Saturday, Chon Shoaf, Micheal Palmer, Dylan Young and Paul Lindsay worked on building a raised garden bed and fence at the South Estes Housing Project. Eva Bailey, representing the neighborhood, is working with the town of Chapel Hill to bring in top soil. When the fence is finished, the group will need help with painting. Stayed tuned! MORE THAN POSTCARDS: Do you feel compelled to send more than postcards to your elected representatives to get your point across? The Alliance of Baptists reminds us, Even though we are in ordinary time in the liturgical calendar [time between Pentecost and Advent], these are not ordinary days. Our call to pursue God's justice for all creation compels us to individually transform our Alliance of Baptists' advocacy efforts into personal action." They suggest that we call our elected officials to let them know our view points. To begin, we can call Senator Thom Tillis ( ) and Senator Richard Burr ( )to let them know our views on the health care debate in the US Senate. (FYI Senator Burr uses an answer machine; Senator Tillis, a very bored staffer.) DO YOU NEED HELP WITH GARDENING OR SMALL CARPENTRY JOBS THIS SUMMER? Why not hire Binkley members and keep it all in the family? If you would be interested in hiring a church member for a job, please contact Haih Siu at siuhaih@gmail.com.
