PRAYER OF CONFESSION God of compassion, in Jesus Christ we behold your transforming light, yet we continue to live in darkness. Preoccupied with ourselves, we fail to see your work in the world. We speak when we should listen, we act when we should reflect. Empower us to live in your light and to walk in your ways, for the sake of Him who is the Light of the world, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON (2 Corinthians 1:21-22) 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.

All: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God.

ANTHEM

Holy Is He Summer Choir

Claire Cloninger | David T. Clydesdale

Holy is He and great is His glory.

Holy is He and worthy of our praise.

I stand in His presence amazed, And crown Him with worship and praise!

Holy is He, Holy is He, Holy is He. Who pardons my iniquities, Who heals me from within?

Who lifts my fallen life And sets me on my feet again?

Who leads me like a shepherd When I’ve gone astray?

My Lord, my God, my Jesus, The One I praise today!

Who hears me in my loneliness, Who finds me where I hide?

Who knocks outside my broken heart, ‘Til I let Him inside?

Whose life deserves the honor Laid before His throne?

My Lord, my God, my Jesus, My Savior and my own!

PRAYER OF ILLUMINATION 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.

SCRIPTURE 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:1 NIV Psalm 104:1-30

1

Praise the Lord, my soul.

Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.

The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent 3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.

He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.

4 He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants.

2

He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.

6 You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.

7 But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight; 8 they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them.

9 You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth.

5

The trees of the Lord are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

17 There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the junipers.

18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats; the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.

16

He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down.

20 You bring darkness, it becomes night, and all the beasts of the forest prowl.

21 The lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God. 22 The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens.

23 Then people go out to their work, to their labor until evening.

19

How many are your works, Lord!

In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

25 There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number— living things both large and small.

26 There the ships go to and fro, and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.

24

27 He makes springs pour water into the ravines; All creatures look to you it flows between the mountains. to give them their food at the proper time.

11 28 They give water to all the beasts of the field; When you give it to them, the wild donkeys quench their thirst. they gather it up; 12 The birds of the sky nest by the waters; when you open your hand, they sing among the branches. they are satisfied with good things.

13 29 He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; When you hide your face, the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work. they are terrified; 14 He makes grass grow for the cattle, when you take away their breath, and plants for people to cultivate— they die and return to the dust.

30 bringing forth food from the earth: When you send your Spirit, 15 wine that gladdens human hearts, they are created, oil to make their faces shine, and you renew the face of the ground. and bread that sustains their hearts.

10

Leader: All:

This is the word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

We are excited to welcome Helen Varga to our team!

Helen Varga has joined our staff as our Children’s Ministry Coordinator.

Helen Varga is a proud mother of two adult children. Her love for children began in her youth and grew to be her passion in life. After her son was diagnosed on the autism spectrum, Helen became his voice and advocate. She believes a child with any special needs will inspire you to be a special kind of person.

Before this life-changing role as a mother, Helen managed the office of Youth For Christ in Minneapolis, MN, and volunteered in many ministries and churches when given the opportunity.

She loves music, photography, and sunsets on the beach. Growing up in Canada gave Helen a passion for hockey and she continues to work on her hockey skills, joking about becoming the first female player for the Arizona Coyotes.

DHPC CHILDREN’S MINISTRY Classes are held during the 9:00am Sunday worship service. Parents may check-in their children 15 minutes prior to service start times.

WALKING BESIDE MINISTRY Author Jenny Albers describes beautifully how we work. She writes, “When someone is broken, don’t try to fix them… Instead, love them by walking beside them in the hurt… Because sometimes what people need is simply to know they aren’t alone” (Our Daily Bread, June 26, 2022).

Would you like to have someone walk alongside you for a while? We care about you and want to help. We are good listeners. Feel free to call any of the team members below.
