Gracious Lord, You alone are righteous and holy, and in Your presence no one can stand. Your gracious mercy is our only hope and we ask for Your forgiveness.

All are welcome. Go down the stairs from the Narthex or the door to the left of the pulpit or take the elevator to the B level and meet near Catacombs rooms C5 and C6. Look for team members wearing red tags. P R O J E C T O F T H E M O N T H : M A R A N AT H A M I S S I O N S Maranatha Youth Group will be serving on three teams this summer: Spruce Hill Camp (June 25 July 7) at The City School, The Dominican Republic team (July 15 24) with the Cedeno family, and the Northeast Community Church Summer Camp (July 30 August 11). During these weeks, the teams are exposed to wonderful ministries and learn what it means to see God at work in their own lives and in the lives of our partners and families they serve. Maranatha teens do a lot of fundraising on their own, but they are in need of support in order to make the camps affordable and fun for any family interested, and to rent buses to take the campers on field trips. 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

4 E V E N I N G W O R S H I P 6 : 1 5 P M Soli Deo Gloria Prelude Etude Tableaux, Op. 39, No. 2 Come, Thou Almighty King (Trinity Hymnal 101) Gethsemane (Luke 22:44) Torn (Matthew 27:51) Sergei Rachmaninoff Dan Barta John Silva John Silva John Silva, piano Soli Deo Gloria is a motto that has been used since the time of the Protestant Reformation. It is the culminating phrase of five Solas and means Glory to God Alone. Soli Deo Gloria affords musicians (singers and instrumentalists alike) the opportunity to give back to God from the gifts He has given them. At the same time, the music is intended to encourage the congregation and to be a public testimony of our desire at Tenth Church to honor Him with our musical offerings. We will not have Soli Deo Gloria preludes during July and August. Regular evening worship with a shorter prelude beginning at 6:25 PM will continue during those months. The Soli Deo Gloria preludes will resume on September : 3 0 P M Welcome Call to Worship Invocation * Hymn 441: Jesus Shall Reign Duke Street * Prayer of Confession Our gracious Father, You sent Your Son to die and rise to new life in order that death might be destroyed and that we might live a new life. Yet we have often chosen our own way rather than Your way. We have rebelled against You in thought, word and deed. In doing so, we have grieved You, hurt others, and damaged ourselves. Forgive our sin for Jesus sake, and grant that we may walk in the ways of love and holiness to the glory of Your holy name. Amen. * The Gospel s Assurance of Pardon 1 John 3:1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. * Doxology (Trinity Hymnal 732) Tallis Canon 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. Prayer of Preparation God s Word Read Daniel 9:1 19 (page 746) * Hymn 602: O God, My Faithful God Darmstadt * Offering Prayer * Congregation standing

5 Offertory: The Old Hundredth Psalm Tune arr. Ralph Vaughan Williams All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, come ye before Him, and rejoice. The Lord, ye know, is God indeed, without our aid He did us make; we are His folk, He doth us feed, and for His sheep He doth us take. O enter then His gates with praise, approach with joy His courts unto; praise, laud, and bless His name always, for it is seemly so to do. For why? The Lord our God is good: His mercy is forever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, and shall from age to age endure. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the God Whom heaven and earth adore, from men and from the angel host be praise and glory evermore. Amen. June Summer Choir Robert Hobgood, conductor Sermon Series: In the Secret Place Prayer Dr. Liam Goligher * Hymn 3: Give to Our God Immortal Praise Warrington * Benediction Postlude Organist this evening: Robert Hobgood T H E S H O R T E R C AT E C H I S M, 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 3: What do the Scriptures principally teach? Answer: The Scriptures principally teach what man is to believe concerning God, and what duty God requires of man. * Congregation standing
