The Village Chapel An Enduring Vision of Christian Unity

“It is believed by many that the influence of the Chapel is far reaching and that its message

going out Sunday by Sunday to its world congregation, will have great effect in uniting the

Christian forces of the land into a fellowship and a brotherhood unit until it can be said

again as it was said of old: ‘See how these Christians love one another.’” The Rev’d William B.

Hannon, “The Pinehurst Outlook,” November, 1924.

As The Village Chapel begins its second century of worship and service to God, we are

emboldened by our founding principles of Christian unity and community service, which

were inspired by the words and example of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; through His

death and resurrection; the Great Commission; and His prayer for unity “that we all may

be one.”

Located in the center and present at the inception of a community of religious expression

- and seeking to be in harmony with the fellowship that has been a basic principle in the

Village of Pinehurst - The Village Chapel offers a unique and gracious vision to its members

and the community beyond: The actual reality of a church that is thankful for, dependent

on, and inspired by the saving grace of Jesus Christ; a church that is welcoming, prayerful,

and pre-eminent in the life of our community; and a church that—without regard for

religious divisions within the Body of Christ—will always proclaim in thought, word, and

deed the Good News that we are all united in Jesus Christ!

“This Chapel will always stand for Christian Unity. Anyone who reads the 17th Chapter of

St. John will believe that we are carrying out the desires of Jesus Christ. We believe that

there is a deep blessedness in Christian fellowship. In whatever household of faith you were

born, whatever creed you now profess, you can come to this sanctuary and feel at home in

your Father’s house. Our constant prayers rise to the throne of God for our nation in these

days that call for sacrifice, courage and faith. We cordially invite you to worship with us.”

The Village Chapel’s welcoming statement, 1924.

If you are visiting this morning, we welcome you to The Village Chapel

and hope that you are with us again soon. If you are visiting us via livestream this morning,

we welcome you and hope that you will join us again soon, in person,

or continue to join us via livestream at 9:30 or 11:00 a.m.

I believe in one God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God; begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

Prayers for the Church and People

Invitation to Communion

Prayer of General Confession (People) Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men: we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time, most grievously have committed by thought, word, and deed, against thy divine Majesty, provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings. The remembrance of them is grievous unto us, the burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; for thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ's sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant

that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life to the honor and glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Absolution

Comfortable Words

Sursum Corda Minister: Lift up your hearts.

People: We lift them up unto the Lord. Minister: Let us give thanks unto our Lord God. People: It is meet and right so to do.

Preface (proper prefaces as appointed) Therefore, with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious Name; evermore praising thee, and saying:

Sanctus (People)

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts, heaven and earth are full of thy glory. Glory be to thee, O Lord Most High. Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

Consecration of the Elements

The Lord's Prayer (People)

Prayer of Humble Access (People) We do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord, whose property is always to have mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in Him, and He in us. Amen.

Holy Communion

Prayer of Thanksgiving (People) Almighty and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee, for that thou dost vouchsafe to feed us who have duly received these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favour and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs through hope of thy everlasting kingdom, by the merits of his most precious death and passion. And we humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.

Benediction

Minister: Let us go forth into the world, rejoicing in the Spirit! People: Thanks be to God! Postlude Prelude on CWM RHONDDA (God of Grace) Paul Manz

Scripture Readings

Genesis 28:10-19a

10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran. 11 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 There above it[a] stood the LORD, and he said: “I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.[b] 15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” 16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” 17 He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.” 18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it. 19 He called that place Bethel,[c] though the city used to be called Luz.

Psalm 86:11-17

11 Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. 12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. 13 For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead. 14 Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God; ruthless people are trying to kill me— they have no regard for you. 15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. 16 Turn to me and have mercy on me; show your strength in behalf of your servant; Save me, because I serve you just as my mother did. 17 Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.

Romans 8:12-25

12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the

Page 8: The Village Chapel - tvcpinehurst.com · 7/19/2020  · Musical Meditation Largo, from Cello Sonata Frederic Chopin Sermon The Rev. John R. Jacobs * Apostles’ reed (People) I believe

body, you will live.14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[a] And by him we cry, “Abba,[b] Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. 18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that[c] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43

24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. 27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ 28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ 29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’” 36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.” 37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. 40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.

Helping Us Stay Connected

Each message is a 10-minute Bible devotion from the daily lectionary. Each message will be available after 4 p.m. Please tune into YouTube using the link below or via the website at www.tvcpinehurst.com (link is also below) and look for the link to the video message. https://tvcpinehurst.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtZJllusd_4VkaGuNT2EcTg

Dear Village Chapel family,

We welcome you to worship in the Sanctuary. Please understand that no one is expected to be here at any time if you feel, for any reason, that it is better to stay home. Services will continue to be livestreamed at 2 times on Sunday mornings: 9:30 a.m., and 11:00 a.m. Here is the link to view our services: www.youtube.com/c/Tvcpinehurst1.

The following are some of the procedures being implemented for your safety and well-being: • Hand sanitizer stations are placed at the front and back entrances to the church, and the two entrances to

the Administration Building, and at the front entrance to the Care Cottage. • A sanitizing “fogger” is used before and after each service to disinfect the sanctuary. • Greeters will encourage those attending services to observe social distancing. • Masks, although optional, are encouraged. Disposable masks are available for those who need them. • Offering plates will be on pedestals in the narthex and the sacristy to eliminate the passing of the plates. • Scripture readings will be read by the pastors at all three services. • Greeters will welcome and pass out the bulletins, which are for single, one-time use, and will collect any

discarded bulletins at the end of each service for disposal. • Youth and children's Sunday School, the nursery, and children's sermon assembly are discontinued for the

time being. • Congregational singing is discontinued for the foreseeable future. Please see the July Herald for more

information regarding singing.

These procedures are not meant to be comprehensive – there are additional measures that were implemented - offered to provide ample assurance of our purpose in minimizing any risk to your health in being here.

The Chapel office is open for regular office hours (8:00 a.m. – 4 p.m.). the following procedures have been implemented to protect the health and well-being of our Chapel staff and members:

• While masks or other face coverings will not be required, visitors to our office will be asked to honor any staff request to wear a mask while in the building, or in different offices. In addition, staff members will honor any request made by visitors to wear a mask when in direct contact.

• Committee chairs may issue directives regarding face coverings for their own meetings at their discretion.

• Disposable masks and hand sanitizer are available to all visitors. While masks are optional, we ask that everyone entering the building utilize the hand sanitizer dispenser.

• Especially during this time, we ask anyone who may feel sick or have a fever to refrain from visiting the church and to handle business via phone or email.

• In the event any office visitor tests positive for COVID-19, we ask that you notify the office if you have visited the church at any time during the 14 days before your positive test so that anyone you may have been in contact with may discern whether a test is needed for themselves. In addition, if you have knowingly been exposed to someone with COVID-19, we ask that you take the necessary precautions before visiting the Chapel.

Blessings in Christ, Pastor John

Angel Tree

Christmas in July!! Can you believe Christmas is less than 6 months away? This year due to the pandemic of COVID 19 our community's needs are greater than ever. In 2020 the Moore County Unemployment rate is going from less than 5% in 2019 to more than 12.6% in May 2020 and still rising. So, we hope that the Village Chapel will again lead the community in supporting our low-income families at Christmas time. Would you like to donate to our Angel Tree Program now when you don’t have the added expenses of your own Christmas shopping? Please feel free to drop your check off with “Angel Tree” written on the memo line. This will help us plan for the number of families we feel comfortable to adopt this year!! If you are an online shopper or just like to shop early, please contact me in October for a family to adopt. We encourage online shopping especially for the children and gift cards can be given to adults to avoid some of the in-store shopping. Thank you for your support and helping make Christmas special for so many families in Moore county! Contact Lori Valentinas at 630/768-0004 or [email protected].

Hymn of the Week

During this time when singing is omitted from our services, a Hymn of the Week is

being included in Pastor John’s Friday email, preparing us for Sunday worship.

In that email, you will find a video of Stephen playing a selected hymn

from the organ, along with a brief history of that hymn.

If you miss one, or would like a comprehensive set of links, please contact

Stephen at [email protected].

It is our hope that these offerings will fulfill us spiritually while

we are unable to sing as a community.
