† AFFIRMATION OF FAITH The Apostles’ Creed 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. † THE PEACE One: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Many: And also with you.

Michael D. Costello

Pine Street Ensemble We walk by faith and not by sight; with gracious words draw near, O Christ, who spoke as none e’er spoke: “My peace be with you here, my peace be with you here.” We may not touch your hands and side, nor follow where you trod; but in your promise we rejoice, and cry, “My Lord and God!” And cry, “My Lord and God!” Help then, O Lord, our unbelief, and may our faith abound to call on you when you are near, and seek where you are found, and seek where you are found: That, when our life of faith is done, in realms of clearer light we may behold you as you are, with full and endless sight, with full and endless sight.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

AND NOTICES MEETING OF THE CONGREGATION, JUNE 6, 2021 The Session of Pine Street Presbyterian Church has called a congregational meeting, following the worship service this morning, to act upon the request of the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Russell C. Sullivan, Jr., to the Presbytery of Carlisle that the pastoral relationship between Pine Street and the pastor be dissolved upon the occasion of his retirement effective July 1, 2021. The terms of dissolution of the call will be presented at that meeting.

SUMMER ADULT FORUMS, WEDNESDAYS, 7:00 P.M., ON-LINE VIA ZOOM

The link for the forums is sent out each week in the all-church email.

June 9: The Pilgrimage: Hiking the Camino de Santiago Presenter: The Rev. Doug Brouwer A year after his retirement, Doug walked the Camino across northern Spain, a 500mile pilgrimage dating back to the ninth century. Doug will tell about his experience (with slides) and explore the meaning of pilgrimage today, the inner and the outer journeys.

June 16: The Art o f the Memoir (or Why You Shouldn’t Write a Memoir)

One of the most popular literary forms today has its roots in Christian faith. St. Augustine wrote a memoir—The Confessions—which continues to be the model on which memoirs are written. Doug will explore the history of the memoir, sample a few of the best, and offer encouragement to anyone who wants to write a personal story.

Rev. Douglas J. Brouwer was ordained to the ministry of word and sacrament at Pine Street in September 1980 and was an associate pastor for five years. He then served churches in Illinois, Michigan, and Florida, and retired in 2018 from the International Protestant Church in Zürich, Switzerland. A memoir about his 40 years of ministry, Chasing After Wind: A Pastor’s Life, will be published later this year.

FLOWER DEDICATION The flowers at the pulpit are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of Mr. & Mrs. Mark M. Kline and Mr. B. F. Kelly by Dr. Helen S. Parshall.
