Sixth Sunday after Pentecost
Dance of the Holy Spirit Calvin Hampton (1938-1984)
+ Call to Worship
Clap your hands, shout to God with songs of joy. For the Lord the Almighty is awesome, know that the Lord is our God. Enter the Lord’s gates with thanksgiving and praise; give thanks to the Lord and praise his great name. The Lord is good and filled with loving-kindness; the Lord’s steadfast love endures forever.
+ Hymn 667:
When Morning Gilds the Skies
+ Call to Confession
+ Prayer of Confession
LAUDES DOMINI
Holy God, God of love and justice, we long for peace within and peace without. We long for harmony in our families, for serenity in the midst of struggle. We long for the day when our homes will be a dwelling place for your love. Yet we confess that we are often anxious. We do not trust each other, and we harbor violence. We are not willing to take risks and make the sacrifices that love requires. Look upon us with kindness and grace. Rule in our homes and in all the world; show us how to walk in your paths, through the mercy of our Savior. Amen.
+ Declaration of Forgiveness
To all who turn from sin in sorrow, to all who turn to God in hope, this is God’s Word of grace for us: we are accepted; we are forgiven; we are loved. Friends, believe the Good News: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God!
+ Response of Praise GLORIA PATRI (Greatorex)
+ Passing of the Peace
The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. And also with you.

The Call
Z. Randall Stroope (b. 1953)
Come , my Way, my Truth , my Life; such a Way as gives us breath , such a Truth as ends all strife , such a Life as killeth death. Come , my Light, my Feast , my Strength; such a Light as shows a Feast , such a Feast as mends in length, such a Strength as makes his guest. Come , my Joy, my Love , my Heart; such a Joy as none can move , such a Love as none can part, such a Heart as joys in love. - George Herbert (1593-1633)
Sermon | “The Cost of Friendship” | The Rev. Katy Shevel
Time for Reflection
+ Affirmation of Faith | The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
