The Service for the Lord’s DaySixth Sunday of Easter

May 26, 20198:15 & 10:15 a.m.

WE GATHER TO WORSHIP

Greeting Rich Richards One: The Lord is risen!

All: He is risen indeed! Alleluia!One: Let us prepare for worship.

Preparation for WorshipGreat and loving God, your will for us in Jesus is the peace which the world cannot give; your abiding gift is the Advocate he promised. Calm all troubled hearts, dispel every fear. Keep us steadfast in love and faithful to your word, that we may always be your dwelling place. Grant this through Jesus Christ, the firstborn from the dead, who lives with you now and always in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.

Gathering Hymns

Christian Welcome and Announcements Chip Pope Call to Worship from Psalm 67

One: May God be gracious to us and bless us.All: May the face of God – the love of God – shine upon us and through us.One: Let all the peoples praise you our God.All: May God forever bless the earth – to its very limits and very ends.One: Let all the peoples praise our God! In the name of the Creator, the Savior, and the Holy Spirit may we offer our worship in the name of love and praise this day.

*Hymn 265 - Jesus Shall Reign Where’er the Sun DUKE STREET

*Call to Confession

*Prayer of ConfessionMost merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you and one another. We have not opened our homes enough. We reserve our hospitality for “easy” guests. Even worse, we close the doors of our hearts out of fear of heartbreak, or complications, or difficulties. Our excuses abound precisely when “welcome” should abound as an extension of your grace. Through the wonder of Jesus the Christ, open our lives and hearts to the needs of others. Forgive our sins and create in us new hearts, that we might be bearers of your blessings and grace to all who enter our lives. In the name of the Savior, hear our prayer. Amen.

*Assurance of Pardon

*Passing of the Peace

*Response Hymn 233 - stanza 3 LANCASHIRE Now let the heav’ns be joyful; let earth its song begin;the round world keep high triumph and all that is therein.Let all things seen and unseen their notes of gladness blend,for Christ the Lord has risen, our joy that has no end.

thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

Let us all sing; he reigns triumphant, heavenly King.Let us sing praise to him with endless joy.Death’s fearful sting he has come to destroy.Our sin forgiving, alleluia! Jesus is living, alleluia!

*Affirmation of Faith adapted from Philippians 2Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness.And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death — even death on a cross.Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

INTERESTED IN WALKING THE LAND JESUS WALKED – WITHOUT LEAVING RALEIGH? The Christian Fellowship Class will be offering another segment of the noted video series That The World May Know this summer in C200 each Sunday at 9:15 a.m. In a series of 20-minute videos, historian and teacher

Dr. Ray Vander Laan illustrates how the events of Jesus’ day impacted his life, ministry and communication…and then you’ll learn how it affects yours. Filmed on location in Israel, these Faith Lessons weave together the Bible’s fascinating historical, cultural, religious and geographical contexts. A structured discussion follows each video lesson. The classes begin after the 8:15 a.m. service and conclude in time for participants to attend the 10:15 a.m. service. Visitors are welcome for all sessions, beginning June 9 and extending through August 11.

TWO PART SERIES: DOING DISCIPLESHIP AMID CULTURAL CLASHESOur notions of discipleship are often varied. In this short course, led by John Winings, you’ll explore discipleship from the perspective that our culture, though quite divided politically at present, is relatively homogeneous. This is especially true when contrasted with cultures of those nations where we send missionaries and where we take mission trips; both are actions of the church in discipleship. We are called to be disciples in this same sense and this course will discuss the ways in which our own notions can trap us on our march toward discipleship. This class will be Sunday, June 2 and June 9 from 9:15-10:00 a.m. in C301.

GROW YOUR FAITH THROUGH ACTS OF SERVICE: EXPLORING OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIESWMPC works hand in hand with numerous local non profit organizations. We invite you to join us Sunday, June 16, June 23 and June 30 in Geneva Hall from 9:15-10:10 a.m. to learn more about these organizations from White Memorial members who are actively involved, and how you can be an integral part of outreach at WMPC, too. Tracey Daniel and Linda Robinson will facilitate discussions. For those who would like to attend, but need childcare for K-5, we offer Children’s Summer Spirituality Class (see below).

CHILDREN’S SUMMER SPIRITUALITY CLASSEach Sunday from June 2-August 25 we will offer a Children’s Summer Spirituality Class for children age K-5. The class will meet in Calvin 301 from 9:10-10:15 a.m.

VBS YOUTH HELPERSMiddle and high school youth, join us June 17-21 for a fun week of growing in faith with our younger church while earning community service hours! Most youth

helpers are needed from 8:45 a.m. to noon, with some needed at 8:30 a.m. for early arrival and for the nursery. Please sign up https://bit.ly/2IbU8BI. If you have questions, contact Ashley Silverman at silverman.ashley@gmail.com.

INTERESTED IN WALKING THE LAND JESUS WALKED – WITHOUT LEAVING RALEIGH? The Christian Fellowship Class will be offering another segment of the noted video series That The World May Know this summer in C200 each Sunday at 9:15 a.m. In a series of 20-minute videos, historian and teacher

Dr. Ray Vander Laan illustrates how the events of Jesus’ day impacted his life, ministry and communication…and then you’ll learn how it affects yours. Filmed on location in Israel, these Faith Lessons weave together the Bible’s fascinating historical, cultural, religious and geographical contexts. A structured discussion follows each video lesson. The classes begin after the 8:15 a.m. service and conclude in time for participants to attend the 10:15 a.m. service. Visitors are welcome for all sessions, beginning June 9 and extending through August 11.

TWO PART SERIES: DOING DISCIPLESHIP AMID CULTURAL CLASHESOur notions of discipleship are often varied. In this short course, led by John Winings, you’ll explore discipleship from the perspective that our culture, though quite divided politically at present, is relatively homogeneous. This is especially true when contrasted with cultures of those nations where we send missionaries and where we take mission trips; both are actions of the church in discipleship. We are called to be disciples in this same sense and this course will discuss the ways in which our own notions can trap us on our march toward discipleship. This class will be Sunday, June 2 and June 9 from 9:15-10:00 a.m. in C301.

GROW YOUR FAITH THROUGH ACTS OF SERVICE: EXPLORING OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIESWMPC works hand in hand with numerous local non profit organizations. We invite you to join us Sunday, June 16, June 23 and June 30 in Geneva Hall from 9:15-10:10 a.m. to learn more about these organizations from White Memorial members who are actively involved, and how you can be an integral part of outreach at WMPC, too. Tracey Daniel and Linda Robinson will facilitate discussions. For those who would like to attend, but need childcare for K-5, we offer Children’s Summer Spirituality Class (see below).

CHILDREN’S SUMMER SPIRITUALITY CLASSEach Sunday from June 2-August 25 we will offer a Children’s Summer Spirituality Class for children age K-5. The class will meet in Calvin 301 from 9:10-10:15 a.m.

VBS YOUTH HELPERSMiddle and high school youth, join us June 17-21 for a fun week of growing in faith with our younger church while earning community service hours! Most youth
