CONFESSION OF FAITH*

The Apostles’ Creed

Congregation reads in unison I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, he suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he will come 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.

Congregation stands.

Prayer Needs

CityTeam—grocery items needed

Would you add one or more of the following items to your grocery list this week for CityTeam? There is a need this month for: baby food (Stages 1 & 2), mac & cheese, canned tuna, peanut but-ter & jelly, soups, canned beans (kidney, black & lima), pasta & pasta sauce, ground coffee and laundry detergent. Bring the item(s) to our Donations Room. Thank you! Note: There’s a handy grocery list on the narthex table to keep on hand.

To all at Proclamation who have extended their Christian friendship and even finances on my behalf, all I can say is thank you so much!! As of Friday afternoon 6/30, I have moved out of the Rehab center in Malvern to a truly fine one-bedroom apartment at 75-01 Drexelbrook Drive, Drexel Hill, PA 19026. The Lord has come through in so many ways, as have His people. I could go on for pages, but mostly I would love calls or visits. My cell is 484-222-1573. After 19 months in Rehab, it is difficult adjusting, but I could not ask for more. Again, thank you all so much!

John Linton

Dear Church Family, Words cannot express how much you all mean to me. Thank you so very much for the flowers, phone calls, cards, food and most of all prayers during my recent health scare and surgery. I feel so blessed to call you my family. I miss you all and plan to be back soon.

Sanjay and Keren Dalavai, Life Change Ministries International, India

We have had many mobile camps over the past month and we have been so blessed! At our most recent camp 36 Campers came to know Jesus and 17 made missionary commitments! How awe-some is our God! We know God’s word will not return empty! It is more powerful than any two edged sword! We must be faithful in sharing His word and then we trust that He will do with it what He will! Two day into our most recent mobile camp many of the campers started sharing the Gospel at camp! Praise God, he is making disciples. Pray for safety for the staff and campers as there are those who don’t want the Gospel heard! Pray for Sanjay’s health and safety as he travels back and forth to India.

Thank you

We are always happy to have you with us and to enjoy your fellowship. If you have questions, please feel free to speak with one of our pastors or one of our elders. To help us learn how we might serve you, please fill out the Visitor Card in the pew back and drop it in the offering basket or leave it at the Welcome Desk.

Families with Young Children Children are a gift to the Church and are warmly welcome at Proclamation. Before worship on Sundays, children of all ages are invited to attend graded Sunday School classes from 9:30-10:30 a.m. They may also recite their suggested memory verses, catechism questions, and hymns at 9:20 before classes begin. Classroom assignments are posted in the Education Wing. Nursery is availa-ble during the Sunday School hour for infants and toddlers.

We welcome even the littlest ones in our worship services. We know children’s needs vary by fam-ily and age, so we offer nursery during morning worship for children up to 2 years old. We have a “nursing/cry room” at the rear of the sanctuary for parents who need to attend to active infants, and we have screens showing the service in the slate hallway. While we encourage children to at-tend all of worship, we also offer the opportunity for children ages 4-7 years old to be dismissed mid-service for a children’s worship time led by our Christian Education Director, Dave Money-maker.

Pink Prayer Request Forms Proclamation's staff and elders are happy to lift your concerns and praises to the Lord in their prayers. Please note that the pink prayer request forms have been moved from the pew backs to the narthex table. You can place your completed form in the box on the table, place it in the offer-ing plate or hand it to one of our deacons. You are also welcome to contact Pam in the church office by phone or e-mail and she will convey your message to the staff and elders.

Recordings Audio CD or DVD recordings of today’s sermon and adult Sunday School classes are available for a small donation ($3/$5). You may order at the media table located in the Resource Room (across from the Parlor) immediately following the 11 am service, and pick up two weeks later (usually). If you desire a recording from a prior week, use the order forms that are available on the table.

Today’s sermon message will be available for playback online starting tomorrow at the church website www.proclamation.org. You can find the sermon under “Sermons” on the homepage. For more recordings, click on “Sermons & Talks” under the “Media” heading in the main menu.
