*HYMN #101,vs.1-4 All PeopleThat on Earth Do Dwell
I believe in God the FatherAlmighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ,His only Son,our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of theVirgin 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 FatherAlmighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

ANTHEM Spirit of Mercy,Truth and Love Howard Helvey Summer Choir Spirit of mercy,truth and love, O shed your influence from above, and still from age to age convey the wonders of this sacred day.
Spirit of God, speak once again through the Words of Scripture that our listening ears may hear Your voice. Help us to place Your Word in our minds, treasure it in our hearts, choose it with our wills, and live it through our bodies. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION Almighty Father; we enter Your presence confessing the things we try to conceal from You and the things we try to conceal from others. We confess the heartbreak, worry, and sorrow we have caused that make it difficult for others to forgive us, the times we have made it easy for others to do wrong, and the harm we have done that makes it hard for us to forgive ourselves. Lord have mercy and forgive us through Jesus Christ.Amen.
PRAYER OF ILLUMINATION
Unfailing Comfort,heavenly Guide, still o’er thy holy Church preside; O shed thine influence from above, Spirit of mercy,truth and love.
PRAYERS OFTHE PEOPLE ASSURANCE OF PARDON (2 Corinthians 1:21-22)
In every clime,by every tongue, be God’s amazing glory sung; let all the listening earth be taught the deeds our great Redeemer wrought.
20 That,however,is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught,with regard to your former way of life,to put off your old self,which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self,created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Leader: It is God who makes us stand firm in Christ.He anointed us,set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit,guaranteeing what is to come.Therefore,let us assure one another of God’s pardon.
SCRIPTURE Ephesians 4:20-25 NIV
THE LORD’S PRAYER Our Father,who art in heaven, hallowed beThy 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. ForThine is the kingdom, and the power,and the glory forever. Amen. *HYMN #563 Open My EyesThat I May See OFFERINGS OFTHE PEOPLE OFFERTORY Open My Eyes Clara H.Scott *DOXOLOGY #815 OLD HUNDREDTH
9 I wrote to the church,but Diotrephes,who loves to be first,will not welcome us. 10 So when I come,I will call attention to what he is doing,spreading malicious nonsense about us.Not satisfied with that,he even refuses to welcome other believers.He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.
SERMON “One HitWonders:3 John -ThreeViews from the Pews” Rev.Brett Everett
SCRIPTURE 3 John 1-14 NIV
*PRAYER OF DEDICATION
11 Dear friend,do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. 12 Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself.We also speak well of him,and you know that our testimony is true.
3 It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth,telling how you continue to walk in it. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
*HYMN #237 Lord, Dismiss Us withThy Blessing
8 We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth.
5 Dear friend,you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers and sisters,even though they are strangers to you. 6 They have told the church about your love.Please send them on their way in a manner that honors God. 7 It was for the sake of the Name that they went out,receiving no help from the pagans.
2 Dear friend,I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you,even as your soul is getting along well.
13 I have much to write you,but I do not want to do so with pen and ink. 14 I hope to see you soon,and we will talk face to face. Peace to you.The friends here send their greetings.Greet the friends there by name.
1 The elder, To my dear friend Gaius,whom I love in the truth.
