HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE GRADUATES 2017 “Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in

the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.” —1 Timothy 4:12 To our graduates; congratulations on completing a significant chapter in your life! As this chapter draws to a close and a new one begins, remember these words: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11. Many things are in store for you, whether heading off to a new school or beginning a new job. You are no doubt facing some uncertainty about the future, but do not forget that you are under God’s watchful care and no matter where you end up or what you are doing, God is with you. Remember that you have been given tre-mendous gifts. The world needs your gifts, so develop them diligently, use them wisely, and share them gen-erously, all the while giving glory to God, the giver of all good gifts.

Blessings to you as a new adventure begins!

Gathering as God’s Family Words of Welcome

Hymn Sing

Call to Worship based on Psalm 8

Lord, how magnificent is your name in all the earth!

Praise the Father!

Who are we that you are mindful of us? Yet you have crowned us with glory.

Praise Jesus Christ! You have covered the heavens with your majesty.

Praise the Holy Spirit!

*Hymn 1 Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty! NICAEA

Prayer of Confession

Triune God, our Sovereign,

you have graciously entrusted human beings with your works

and put all things under our feet;

you have crowned your people with glory and honor!

Yet we confess, we have exchanged your wisdom for foolishness,

despoiled your creation, feared disappointment, failed endurance,

and shunned suffering for the good.

Forgive us, O God, and restore us according to your divine wisdom,

that we may be a delight to you and rejoice before you always.

Moment of Silent Reflection and Confession

Leader: We make these confessions asking, “Lord, have mercy.”

Congregational Response 577 Lord, Have Mercy KYRIE ELEISON (Reindorf)

Kyrie eleison. Kyrie eleison.

Kyrie eleison. Kyrie eleison.

Assurance of Forgiveness

Friends, believe the Good News of the Gospel. In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.

The Sharing of the Peace of Christ

Since God has forgiven us in Christ, let us forgive one another.

The Peace of Jesus Christ be with you. And also with you.

* Those who are able, please stand * * * Seating interludes

Will you be Christ’s faithful disciple, obeying his Word and showing his love?

I will, with God’s help.

*Affirmation of Faith The Apostles’ Creed (Traditional)

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.

A CHURCH MOUSE! A church mouse serves as a faithful witness to young members while they are away at college. It is somewhat like a Secret Santa (but for the whole year), with cards, gifts, and prayers (and sometimes cookies!) to show we care. This year we have eight students graduating from college who have been in the program for all or part of their college years!

After this June's graduating high school students receive college housing assignments, they can sign up for a Mouse on the DPC website (scroll down under Programs to College-Age, and click on the link on the lower right to fill out the SurveyMonkey form).We need more Mice for this fall. Contact Laura Mendelson lmmendelson1982@gmail.com or leave your name and email address with the church office for more information.
