MORNING WORSHIP Portrait of a King Rev. Jonny McGreevy EVENING WORSHIP Good News, the Search Is Over! Rev. Gavin Lymberopoulos July 2, 2017

2 MORNING WORSHIP 9:00/11:00 AM Prelude King of Glory, King of Peace K. Lee Scott King of glory, King of peace, I will love Thee; and that love may never cease, I will move Thee. Thou hast granted my request, Thou hast heard me; Thou did st note my working breast, Thou hast spared me. Wherefore with my utmost art I will sing Thee, and the cream of all my heart, I will bring Thee. Though my sins against me cried, Thou did st clear me; and alone, when they replied, Thou did st hear me. Seven whole days, not one in seven, I will praise Thee; in my heart, though not in heaven, I can raise Thee. Small it is, in this poor sort to enroll Thee; ev n eternity s too short to extol Thee! Still, My Soul, Be Still Keith and Kristyn Getty/Stuart Townend Still, my soul, be still, and do not fear though winds of change may rage tomorrow. God is at your side, no longer dread the fires of unexpected sorrow. God, You are my God, and I will trust in You and not be shaken. Lord of peace, renew a steadfast spirit within me to rest in you alone. Still, my soul, be still, do not be moved by lesser lights and fleeting shadows. Hold onto His ways with shield of faith, against temptation s flaming arrows. Still, my soul, be still, do not forsake the truth you learned in the beginning. Wait upon the Lord and hope will rise as stars appear when day is dimming. Carolynne Waddington, soprano Call to Worship * Doxology (Trinity Hymnal 731) Old Hundredth Praise God from Whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav nly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. * Confession O God our Father, forgive us for thinking less of You than we ought; for we think Your truth too high, Your will too hard, and Your power too remote; but they are not! We humbly ask that You resolve our confused minds with Your word, redirect our divided wills with Your law, restore our troubled consciences with Your forgiveness, and revive our anxious hearts with Your presence, for the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Who loved us and gave Himself for us. * The Gospel s Assurance of Pardon * Invocation * Hymn 710: God of Our Fathers National Hymn Responsive Reading Psalm 18:37 50 (page 455) * Gloria Patri (Trinity Hymnal 734) Gloria Patri (Meineke) Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen. * Congregation standing

3 * Apostles Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. 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. Prayer of Thanksgiving and Intercession Announcements Living Church Partner Greeting * Hymn 131: Children of the Heavenly Father Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara (In the 11:00 service, ages 4 6 may be dismissed for their program in B2 and B3.) * Offering Prayer Offertory: Abide With Me arr. Sally DeFord Abide with me, fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail and comforts flee, help of the helpless, oh, abide with me. I need Thy presence every passing hour. What but Thy grace can foil the tempter s power? Who like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Death has no sting, the grave no victory, I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

In fact, his childhood home was recently under siege by extremists. In addition to the instability around him, the university can t always pay their workers. Yet Joseph remains faithful, teaching and baptizing more than 115 new believers earlier this year. July s Project of the Month will support Joseph and his family as they serve God s Kingdom in an uncertain environment. Cash or checks made payable to Tenth Presbyterian Church with July 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

Call to Worship Invocation * Hymn 179: Hallelujah! Thine the Glory Thine the Glory * Prayer of Confession O God our Father, we are gathered before You to worship You, awed by Your majesty, greatness, and glory, and encouraged by Your love. Yet there is a coldness in our hearts, a hardness toward You, an unwillingness to admit our sin and need for You. Forgive us for all our sins, for Jesus sake. Come near and strengthen us by the work of Your Holy Spirit until Christ reigns supreme within us, in every thought, word and deed. Give us a faith that overcomes the world, works by love, and fastens us to You. In Jesus name, Amen. * The Gospel s Assurance of Pardon 1 John 3:24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in them.
