CARROLLTON PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH SERVICE FOR THE LORD’S DAY

2ND SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST JUNE 14, 2020 – 11:00 A.M.

PREPARING TO WORSHIP GOD

CENTERING PRAYER O God, we joyously come together to worship, realizing we need not summon you into our midst, for you are here. We need not call you into the secret places of our hearts, for you are there. We need our eyes of faith to be opened, that we may see you; our ears to be unstopped, that we may hear you; our minds to be sensitive, that we may know you; our hearts to be tender, that we may receive you. We ask your blessings in

the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 100, NRSV

Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come into his presence with singing. Know that the LORD is God. It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name. For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.

HYMN Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above 645

CALL TO CONFESSION Based on Romans 5:8; Hebrews 4:16, NRSV

The proof of God’s amazing love is this: While we were sinners, Christ dies for us. Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Trusting in God’s faithfulness and compassion, let us confess our sin before God and one another.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Eternal God, you do not change. You have revealed yourself to us in your Word. You call us to worship you in spirit and in truth even when we are worshipping virtually. We confess that we often worship not your true self but who we wish you to be. We too often ask you to bless what we do rather than seeking to do what you bless. Forgive us for seeking concessions when we should be seeking guidance. Forgive us when our worship shapes you into what we want instead of shaping us into what you want. Help us to meet you here in this time of isolation, that we might bow before your unspeakable majesty and so live for you now and ever, in Christ. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON

In Christ we have the forgiveness of sins and the riches of God’s grace. This grace was given to us: to preach to the nations the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. Thanks be to God. Amen.

THE PASSING OF THE PEACE Al and Mim Jones

Let us no engage in a very ancient practice in a very contemporary way. Please pass the peace by text, email, or in person with those whom you are privileged to have by your side.

The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

LISTENING FOR GOD’S WORD

PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION

ANTHEM The Lamb Bryan L. Greer Brianna Cunningham, clarinet; Ámari Jiménez, flute

Little Lamb who made thee Dost thou know who made thee

Gave thee life & bid thee feed. By the stream & o'er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing wooly bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice!

Little Lamb who made thee Dost thou know who made thee

Little Lamb I'll tell thee, Little Lamb I'll tell thee!

He is called by thy name, For he calls himself a Lamb: He is meek & he is mild, He became a little child: I a child & thou a lamb, We are called by his name.

Little Lamb God bless thee. Little Lamb God bless thee.

RESPONDING TO GOD’S WORD

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH The Apostle’s Creed Campbell Wilson

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin 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 Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. 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

Be inspired, uplifted, and reassured during the month of June as we welcome Elder Jane Hubbard to lead us in worship. Jane grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. Her parents offered hospitality to pastors and families in the area often on Sundays for dinner and relaxing. Having been called to pastoral care at First Presbyterian Church, Douglasville, she now serves as Pastor to Pastor Coordinator for the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta. She coordinates volunteers to provide

pastoral care and support to pastors and Christian educators in the greater Atlanta area.
