WELCOME!

Thank you for coming to First Presbyterian Church of Orlando this morning! So glad you’re here. If you’d like to connect and learn more about this church, one of our leaders will be available at the front of the room after worship, or you can visit fpco.org/guest.

NEXT STEPNearly half of our members give back financially to the church every month, which is wonderful good news! We are so thankful for your generosity and the ministries we’re able to support because of your gifts. The upcoming summer season brings a lot of activity and travel for many, so please help First Pres finish our fiscal year strong (ending June 30). Find out ways to give, even when on-the-go, at fpco.org/give.

makingdiscipleswholight the world.

Get your kids signed up for Vacation Bible School or our ‘Upward Sports’ basketball and cheerleading camps. Both run July 7-11 and kids are able to attend both, making it a full day of fun. Registration is open now at fpco.org/register, and spots are filling quickly!

NEXT WEEK

Join us today, as we thank Donna McClellan, together. Stop by from 12pm-1pm in the King Parlor for a special reception after worship to recognize Donna’s ministry, thank her and give her a big hug as she begins this next season of ministry.

Business first, there will be a congregational meeting today at the 11:00am worship service, to dissolve her call at First Pres.

The Women’s Cancer Support Group will meet at noon on Wednesday, June 18 in EMC-340. Come join us for a light lunch and a comforting place for women to come and share, get information and help with your need while dealing with cancer. For more information, contact Linda McCallister at x1159 or email lmccallister@fpco.org.

How’s your “shower voice”? Bring that voice to our Summer Choir, which started today. It’s a great opportunity to sing during worship, and you don’t even have to be able to read music (although it helps). No audition necessary, just show up in the rehearsal room any Sunday between now and August 31 at 7:30am. Find out more at fpco.org/summerchoir.

Come Holy Spirit. Fall afresh on our hearts. Fill us with your power and presence. Wash away our sin and make us white as snow.

Come Holy Spirit. Come like fire, burn away our disease and iniquity. Break us, melt us, then grow us again from the ash.

We’re calling on fire. We’re calling on fire. We’re calling on fire, God. Come set our hearts ablaze. - Bellarive 2014

NOTES

G E N E S I S W O R S H I P T R A D I T I O N A L W O R S H I P

Today marks exactly fifty days since we celebrated Easter Sunday. (The white cloth on the cross these past weeks has reminded us of the white linen clothes left behind in the empty tomb of Jesus.) As we learn from the Scriptures, it would have been ten days ago that Jesus ascended to heaven (Acts 1). Just before He left, Jesus told the people that were gathered on the Mount of Olives to remain in Jerusalem until God the Father, sent the gift of the Holy Spirit, who would baptize them with power from on high. Ten days later, (today) as they were all gathered, that very thing happened–on the first day of the week, the day of the resurrection, and Church was birthed. The disciples were utterly transformed. The Holy Spirit came upon people as in tongues of fire (Acts 2). Through the centuries, the Church has celebrated this day with the color of red, reminding us of that fire from above. The book of Hebrews tells us that “our God is a consuming fire” (Hebrews 12:29). Fire often indicated the presence of God (burning bush, Mt. Sinai, etc). It was through the Holy Spirit that the early Christians were transformed and it is through that same Spirit that makes possible the transformation of lives today, including ours! - Dr. Dan Sharp

*Passing of the Peace St. Paul always greeted with the words, “The peace of God be with you.” This is an appropriate way to greet fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and so we say, “The peace of the Lord be with you” and respond, “And also with you.” We then pass this greeting of peace to one another. At the passing of the peace we should earnestly desire God’s peace upon each person we greet. Call to Prayer Gbemi Yesu Yoruban Prayer Song beh-mee yeh-soo (lift me, Jesus)
