Seeds of Faith & Fruit of Action Rev. Bob Preusch Matthew 6:33; 7:7; 5:13-16; 7:24-25
Instead, desire first and foremost God’s kingdom and God’s righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 (CEB) Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7 (CEB) You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, how will it become salty again? It’s good for nothing except to be thrown away and trampled under people’s feet. You are the light of the world. A city on top of a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on top of a lampstand, and it shines on all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before people, so they can see the good things you do and praise your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:13-16 (CEB) Everybody who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise builder who built a house on bedrock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the wind blew and beat against that house. It didn’t fall because it was firmly set on bedrock. Matthew 7:24-25 (CEB)

New PUMC Book Study
The Book of Job Starts June 2
Why does God permit suffering? It’s a question all of us have asked, and the book of Job points us toward some answers. Job’s questions are our questions, and we can identify with his frustration, disappointment, and confusion in the midst of trials. In this series, Dr. Derek W.H. Thomas walks us through the book of Job and considers what the Bible says about our darkest moments. He addresses the difficult question of the relationship between God’s sovereignty and the existence of evil, sin, and suffering. In the end, as Dr. Thomas shows, it’s in our trials that we learn to trust God and say with Job, “Blessed be the name of the Lord.” You are invited to this 12-week Bible study in the Koinonia Room weekly, Fridays at 12 noon – 1:30 p.m., beginning on June 2. Contact Ron & Carolyn Mercer or Larry & Anne Rudy through the church office for more information.

Introduction of Candidates Rev. Bob Preusch
Statement of Faith
Elizabeth Brandenberg I’m Glad I’m a Christian, and I would like to learn more about Jesus so I can be closer to him. I go to church to worship God, which is how I feel connected to God. I worship God proudly. I believe in Jesus Christ, that he sacrificed himself and was crucified for us. Our sin separates us from God, but we know we are saved if we confess our sins, and our actions show that we have entered Christ’s life and want to have a relationship with him. God loves each and every one of us, and in his eyes we are all his children. God hears our every prayer, redeems us when we sin, and encourages us to do good works to help others. This means hope to me. Because of my beliefs, I am living each day on a journey with Jesus. I believe that the church brings us together, brings us closer with God, helps us seek answers, and gives us a peaceful place of love. God is with me every day, I am
created in God’s image and want to do my best to be like Jesus. I believe that if I work hard in Jesus name, using the gifts he has given me, I will be living in the Kingdom of God..
Response to Statement of Faith Rev. Charlie Wilfong
In Baptism we are born again through water and the Spirit. This is God’s free gift to us. In Confirmation, those Baptized as children now affirm faith in Jesus Christ of their own accord. In all of these things, we lift up all that God is doing in us and for us, and declare our commitment to the body Christ that is the holy Church.
Profession of Faith Rev. Bob Preusch
In Confirmation Class you
have been studying about God, reading the Bible, learning about the Church, and considering the evidence and patterns of the Christian life. You have had time to think, ask questions, and discuss the discoveries and issues inherent in Christian discipleship. Please stand: Leader:
Do you believe in God?
Confirmands: I do.
Leader:
Will you love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength?
Instruction to parents, sponsors, and congregation Leader:
As each student is called forward, we ask that their parents, sponsors, and mentors please come forward to join us for the laying on of hands.
Anyone else having a relationship with the student being baptized or confirmed, perhaps as family, friends, teachers, coaches, or neighbors‌ I invite you to stand where you are in affirmation as the student comes forward.
Confirmands: I will. Leader:
Have you discovered Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and pledged your loyalty to the Kingdom of God?
Confirmands: I have. Leader:
Will you Love your neighbor as yourself?
Confirmands: I will. Leader:
Will you be good stewards of your life, your mission, your generosity, and your hope?
Confirmands: I will. Leader:
Will you purposefully share with family, friends, and neighbors, the good news of the Kingdom that you have so freely received?
Confirmands: I will. You may be seated.
Baptism with laying on of hands Rev. Bob Preusch Leader:
I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. May God’s Spirit work within you, that being born through water and the Spirit, you may live as a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ
Confirmands: We Will. Leader:
Now it is our joy to welcome our new sisters and brothers in Christ. Through baptism you are incorporated by the Holy Spirit into God’s new creation and made to share in the body of Christ.
People:
We are all one in Christ Jesus. With joy and thanksgiving we welcome you as members of the family of Christ, and full professing members of Plainfield United Methodist Church.
Confirmation with laying on of hands Rev. Charlie Wilfong Leader:
Remember your baptism and be thankful.
Leader:
May the Spirit of God confirm you in the faith of all true disciples of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Questions to Parents and Mentors: Rev. Bob Preusch
Leader:
Parents, let this be a day of rejoicing for you. Your children have stated publicly their commitment to Christ.
Mentors, let this be a day of joy for you as well. With your help these youth have grown in their understanding and
Reception into the Congregation Rev. Charlie Wilfong Leader:
Will you be loyal to this congregation of the United Methodist Church and uphold its mission through your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service, and your witness?
relationship with Christ. Today, these young Christians are assuming equality with you as members of Christ’s church. But they will continue to need your guidance, example, and encouragement. Will you continue to share your faith with them and assist them in their Christian walk?
People:
We will.
2017
Questions to the Congregation: Rev. Bob Preusch Leader:
I present these young Christians to you. The promises they have made make them fully responsible with you for the mission of this church. Together we will continue to try to fulfill God’s will for this congregation. Will you also rededicate yourselves to the purposes of God for us?
People:
We welcome these youth in the name of Christ. We will pray for them and surround them with love and encouragement as they continue to follow Jesus and grow as disciples.
