*Call to Confession
*Prayer of Confession
Gracious God, we focus on all that is before us, but not what is above us, not what sustains us. We focus on those actions
and ideas that distance us from you. You have imbued us with the spirit of faith. You have promised to raise us with
Jesus and allow us into your presence. Yet, we have doubted this promise and put faith in what we can see and touch.
Forgive us for our disbelief and prepare us for the true gift of your glory. Our true selves are renewed each day. That
which we can not see but that which we trust is eternal. In your son’s name, Amen.

Prayers of the People and The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
Presentation of Tithes and Offerings
Offertory Anthem - We Walk by Faith and Not By Sight Michael D. Costello (pub. 2008) We walk by faith and not by sight; with gracious words draw near, O Christ, who spoke as none e’er spoke: “My peace be with you here.” We may
not touch your hands and side, nor follow where you trod; but in your promise we rejoice, and cry, “My Lord and God!” Help then, O Lord, our
unbelief, and may our faith abound to call on you when you are near, and seek where you are found: that when our life of faith is done, in realms of
clearer light we may behold you as you are, with full and endless sight.
*Offertory Response Hymn 710 - We Lift Our Voices OFFERING
*Affirmation of Faith - The Nicene Creed hymnal, p. 34
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen. (continued)
*All who are able may stand.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
WE GO IN GOD’S NAME
*Hymn 720 - Jesus Calls Us GALILEE
*Charge and Benediction
*Closing Response Hymn 746 THUMA MINA
Send me, Jesus; send me, Jesus; send me, Jesus; send me, Lord.
Lead me, Jesus; lead me, Jesus; lead me, Jesus; lead me, Lord.
Fill me, Jesus; fill me, Jesus; fill me, Jesus; fill me, Lord.
*Chiming of the Trinity The worship service ends with the Chiming of the Trinity. Please be mindful of those who remain to listen to the postlude.

Our June and July dates are: June 19, July 3 and July 17.

Join us the fourth Thursday of each month, June-December, from 12:30-1:00 p.m. in Davidson
Chapel to pray for White Memorial and our ministries. Our summer gathering dates are: June 28,
July 26 and August 23.
