THE WORSHIP OF GOD June 27, 2021

Fifth Sunday after Pentecost

Welcome, Announcements & Opening Prayer

Hymn of Praise “Standing On The Promises” R. Kelso Carter, 1886

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

through eternal ages let his praises ring;

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing, standing on the promises of God.

Refrain: Standing, standing, standing on the promises of God my Savior;

Standing, standing, I’m standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to him eternally by love’s strong cord,

Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword, standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I cannot fall,

Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call,

Resting in my Savior as my all in all, standing on the promises of God.

Affirmation of Faith

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in

Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead,

and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and

sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall

come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy

catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the

resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Gloria Patri

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was

in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen! Amen!

Prayer / The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead

us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and

the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Hymn of Dedication “I Love To Tell The Story” Katherine Hankey, 1868

I love to tell the story of unseen things above, of Jesus and his glory,

of Jesus and his love. I love to tell the story, because I know ‘tis true;

it satisfies my longings as nothing else will do.

Refrain: I love to tell the story, ‘twill be my theme in glory,

to tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love.

I love to tell the story, for those who know if best seem hungering and thirsting to

hear it like the rest. And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,

‘twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.

Offering Of Ourselves And Our Gifts to God

Anthem “”He Will Hold Me Fast

Scripture Reading John 12: 9-11; Matthew 27:50-53

Sermon “The Walking Dead” Dr. R. Allen Stewart Sr. Pastor

Hymn Of Invitation “There’s Something About That Name” Gloria & William Gaither , 1970

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! There’s just something about that name!

Master, Savior, Jesus! Like the fragrance after the rain.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! Let all heaven and earth proclaim:

Kings and kingdoms will all pass away, but there’s something about that name!

Scripture Reading

John 12: 9-11

9 When the great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, they came not only be-

cause of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10 So the

chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death as well, 11 since it was on account of him

that many of the Jews were deserting and were believing in Jesus.

Matthew 27:50-53 50 Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last.[r] 51 At that moment

the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, and

the rocks were split. 52 The tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints

who had fallen asleep were raised. 53 After his resurrection they came out of the

tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many.

“Homeland” Presented by the Chancel Choir and Orchestra

Our Homeland — this is the place where we pledge the same flag, protect and defend the same Constitution, breathe the same air, cherish the future of our children, and stand con-stant vigil to defend the rights that compelled our founders to form a more perfect Union. This is the place our ancestors fought for, and also the place where people still gather the courage to come and be a part of the greatest experiment in freedom in human history. America — a land uniquely blessed of God — a staggering mosaic of natural beauty and re-sources. America — sweet land of Liberty. America—residence for those who dared to dream the dream, pay the price, share the costs … of living in the HOMELAND!
