 THE WORSHIP OF GOD
PENTECOST SUNDAY
May 31, 2009
WELCOME AND GREETING
Called to gather as God's people,
we assemble in this place
to unite our hearts and voices
in thanksgiving for God's grace:
for the birthing of creation,
for Christ's rising from death's hold,
for the coming of the Spirit,
week by week claimed and retold.

CHILDREN’S FEATURE
“Be Still for the Presence”
Be still, for the presence of the Lord, the holy One, is here;
come bow before him now with reverence and fear.
In Him no sin is found, we stand on holy ground.
Be still, for the presence of the Lord, the holy One, is here.
Be still, for the glory of the Lord is shining all around;
he burns with holy fire, with splendor he is crowned.
How awesome is the sight - our radiant King of light.
Be still, for the glory of the Lord is shining all around.
Be still, for the power of the Lord is moving in this place:
he comes to cleanse and heal, to minister his grace-
no work to hard for him, in faith receive from him.
Be still, for the power of the Lord is moving in this place.

“Revive Us Again”
TO OUR COMMUNITY. . .
Lea Wolf
This is a special Sunday in the life of our church. This is what we call
“Youth Sunday”. What we mean by that is our youth are going to lead us in
worship. They will lead in our music, children’s feature, offertory, and
preaching. The fact that we have youth that are capable to lead us in worship
is a testament to the youth workers and youth leaders as well as the total
membership of this church. Without your constant example of faithful
worship, they would not understand worship. So today, I say thank you for
allowing me to pastor a church that calls capable ministers to lead our youth,
that has capable volunteer youth leaders, and that year in and year out makes
sure that there is a budget that is ample to minister to the youth of this
community. Today, as a church family, we have the opportunity to be
witnesses of the “fruits” of our labors and also to be very proud of the youth
that we have all had a part in their spiritual development. Remember this
next week is Vacation Bible School. If you have not brought cookies, we are
still in need of some. Please remember VBS in your prayers. Psalm 33:11
states, “But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his
heart through all generations.” Since God’s plans and purposes are for all
generations, it is our responsibility to make sure that future generations know
that. Through our youth and children’s ministries, we are doing just that.
Praying for you, John
