Whether near or far, we are held close by your love, and kept safe from any lasting loss. Forgive us, O God, for work begun but not completed, for expectations not met, for wounds not healed, for gifts not shared, for promises not kept. Let our time together as pastor and people end with your blessing. Touch all memories with your grace and peace. Help us to live with courage and gladness in the future you present us.

“Remembering and Moving Forward”

Dr. Sullivan

† 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.

ANTHEM Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

David Willcocks

Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven to earth come down, fix in us thy humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, thou art all compassion, pure unbounded love thou art; visit us with thy salvation, enter every trembling heart. Come, almighty to deliver, let us all thy grace receive; suddenly return, and never, never more thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above; pray, and praise thee, without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love. Finish then thy new creation: Pure and spotless let us be; let us see thy great salvation, perfectly restored in thee; changed from glory into glory, till in heaven we take our place, till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise, love, and praise, love, and praise, lost in wonder, love, and praise.

NOTICES

WEDNESDAY NIGHT FORUM, JUNE 30, 6:30 P.M. Educating God's People Core Team continues this week at Morris Medley, the home of former members Jack and Mildred Morris and now the summer retreat of their daughter, Ann Markley. This property is near the intersection of Route 39 and Route 22 in West Hanover Township. You may learn more about it at Morrismedley.com. Plan to attend, fellowship with other members, experience the beautiful labyrinth, stroll the property, enjoy several gardens including a butterfly garden, and share insights around some questions presented in our recent Forum with Cheryl Galan, Interim Executive Presbyter.

You should bring a lawn chair and perhaps a cool drink and bug spray. The address is 7917 Hanover Road, Harrisburg, PA 17112. This is a casual event for all ages. This will take about an hour, but you are free to linger if the weather is good. The Team hopes to see you there! There are no restrooms at Morris Medley, but some nearby. If you have questions, or get lost, you can call Beth Alwine at (717)877-9904 or Eileen Kunkle at (717)329-8581. Please RSVP to eileenkunkle@comcast.net so we have some idea of numbers. If you use a map program and/or GPS, be sure to use the zip code since there is another Hanover Road in Harrisburg. There will be a limited number of maps available at the Welcome Center.

FLOWER DEDICATION The flowers at the pulpit are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of my father Nicodemus Fumey, brothers Keli and Wisdom G. Fumey and nephew Nicodemus Kwesi by Ruby Fumey.
