THE PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION ...................................................................... The Rev. Lorrie Ghering-Burick

THE FIRST SCRIPTURE LESSON: Psalm 139: 1-14 ............................................. The Rev. Lorrie Ghering-Burick

O LORD, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away. You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, O LORD, you know it completely. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain it. Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast. If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light around me become night’, even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you. For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well.

THE CHORAL ANTHEM: "O Magnify the Lord" ....................................................................... arr. Tom Fettke The Sanctuary Choir

THE SECOND SCRIPTURE LESSON: Acts 5: 33-42 .............................................................. The Rev. Chris Tuttle

When they heard this, they were enraged and wanted to kill them. But a Pharisee in the council named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, respected by all the people, stood up and ordered the men to be put outside for a short time. Then he said to them, ‘Fellow-Israelites, consider carefully what you propose to do to these men. For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him; but he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and disappeared. After him Judas the Galilean rose up at the time of the census and got people to follow him; he also perished, and all who followed him were scattered. So in the present case, I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone; because if this plan or this undertaking is of human origin, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them—in that case you may even be found fighting against God!’ They were convinced by him, and when they had called in the apostles, they had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. As they left the council, they rejoiced that they were considered worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name. And every day in the temple and at home they did not cease to teach and proclaim Jesus as the Messiah.

THE SERMON: "Outer Banks Presbyterian, Jody, and a Couple of Little Blue Vans" ... The Rev. Chris Tuttle

THE HYMN OF PRAISE NO. 69: “I, the Lord of Sea and Sky" .............................................................. HERE I AM

~ The Installation ~

THE LITANY OF GIFTS (Spoken Responsively – based on Rom. 12: 4-8, 11-13) ........................... The Rev. Chris Tuttle

ONE: As in one body we have many parts and each part has its own function, so all of us together with Christ are one body, and we all belong to each other. ALL: We have different gifts according to the grace God has given us. ONE: If your gift is to hear God’s Word, ALL: speak it out in faith. ONE: If your gift is service, ALL: live to serve others. ONE: If your gift is the heart of a teacher, ALL: teach what is true. ONE: Let preachers preach with conviction, and givers give freely; ALL: let officers work diligently for the people, and let those who serve the poor, serve gladly. ONE: Let us not lack for enthusiasm, but be ardent in spirit, ALL: serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, patient in suffering, constant in prayer, supporting one another, and welcoming all.
