REV. KEN LOUDENBACK The only thing constant in this world is change. Yet there is the One and Only who never changes - God. In worship we explore the change that the Changeless One works in each of us, as individuals and collectively as his church. When we come to Jesus and are made more into his likeness, we are able to do things that none of us could do by ourselves. It is by the power of love that we can do reasonable service and be living sacrifices for our Lord and Savior. In our spiritual worship we grow our faith and exult our King. Through the work of the Spirit as we read scripture, sing songs of praise, pray and share our life examples, we are renewed and transformed to be God's people in the world.

* Hymn for Parting 569

We’ve a Story to Tell to the Nations

Jeff Rogers, trumpet

* Dismissal & Blessing * Postlude

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee Jeff Rogers, trumpet

I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect. For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness. Romans 12:1-8 (NRSV)

We are so glad to welcome you to worship this morning! If you are new to PUMC, you are invited to stop by the Welcome Center located in the south lobby. A PUMC member is there to answer your questions, and we have a gift for you, too! In Clayton Hall (north end of building) you’ll find refreshments and a place to chat and meet people. Please make yourself at home.

One Whale of a Tale “Gone fishing” is the sign on the door of many an angler this time of year. The long days, the warm breezes, and the hope of a good catch lure expert fishers and weekend casters alike. And the stories that come home can be real whoppers! The high adventure intensifies with every telling and the fish get longer with every measure of outstretched arms. The fishing is fun, the stories are engaging, and the remembering is almost as good as the doing. The Bible gives us a whopper of a fish story, too. Only in this tale, the fish does the catching. God gives Jonah a specific assignment. But not wanting to obey God’s instruction, Jonah heads the opposite direction... on a boat... and out to sea. Jonah ends up overboard and is caught up in the belly of a whale. The adventure, the stories, and the lessons that ensue make for one whale of a tale! You are invited to NewDay Praise Worship starting Sunday, June 25, 9:50 a.m. for “One Whale of a Tale!” Featuring Jonah’s fishing story and God’s work for good through Jonah’s adventures.

Classic Worship Schedule Change On Sunday, July 2, you can expect to find one small change in the Sunday morning Classic Worship schedule. Starting on the first Sunday of July, 11:10 Classic Worship will begin at 11:00 a.m. This will mean a shorter wait time for 9:45 Sunday School participants who want to attend the third hour of Classic Worship, and since worship will now conclude prior to 12-noon, it may be a more attractive option for worshipers who have lunch or afternoon plans. Please share this news with friends and family and invite them to join you for worship!


Got Questions? So did Jesus. Discover the questions Jesus asked. In the last four Sundays of July, Pastor Charlie will be exploring some of Jesus’ questions in a Classic Worship series entitled, “Got Questions? So did Jesus. Discover the questions Jesus asked.” The questions Jesus poses to us will stretch our minds and our hearts. Struggling to discover the answers will grow us in many ways and yield rich lessons. That seems to be the way good questions work. Classic Worship at 8:30, 9:50, and 11:00 a.m.

• July 9: “Can you see anything?” from Mark 8. • July 16: “What do you want me to do for you?” from Matthew 20. • July 23: “Why are you afraid?” from Matthew 8. • July 30: “Do you want to be made well?” from John 5. Take your questions to trustworthy friends and to Jesus. It’s safe to wonder and ask. As you ponder and wrestle with the questions Jesus asks of you, you may discover some of the best lessons of all.
