Welcome!
As the CoVid-19 pandemic continues, Central Baptist Church has moved worship outdoors! We are limited to 100 persons out of their cars, overflow will be able to remain in their vehicles, as long as cars are parked at least 6 feet from each other. We should have an FM transmitter set up for those who attend in their vehicles, tune in to 87.9 to listen.
Attendees should wear masks, and keep 6 feet from anyone not in your immediate household.

Prelude

Announcements
Call to Worship, Psalm 51:6-13
Hymn, “Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing”
Verse 1
Come Thou fount of ev'ry blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Verse 2
Here I raise mine Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I'm come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand'ring from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
Verse 3
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy grace Lord like a fetter
Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart Lord take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

Riches I heed not
Nor man's empty praise

Now and always
Thou and Thou only
Be first in my heart
High King of heaven
My treasure Thou art

When vict'ry is won
May I reach heaven's joys
O bright heaven's Sun
Heart of my own heart
Whatever befall
Still be my vision
O Ruler of all

June Benevolence: One Great Hour Of Sharing
Our mission focus for June is the American Baptist Church One Great Hour of Sharing. Funds collected this year will be used to provide COVID relief in the US and Puerto Rico and internationally in the communities served by International Ministries.
The New Life Center foundation in Thailand where Kit Ripley serves is highlighted in this year’s promotional materials. For over 30 years the NLCF has invested in the lives of over 1000 ethnic minority girls at risk of trafficking, forced labor, and sexual abuse.
“Specifically, donations to ABHMS’ OGHS appeal will assist with immediate needs, such as unemployment or loss of income, housing, hunger and access to healthcare. Donations will also fund programs supporting the well-being and mental health of faith leaders, congregations and communities. In the current context of social distancing, as churches seek to connect with members through online connections, the need for enhanced technology has emerged in many churches. ABHMS also seeks to support American Baptist regions, denominationally related colleges, universities and seminaries along with community ministries (Neighborhood Action Programs and other service organizations) that are serving families in marginalized settings. There are also emerging needs that are not known presently.
OGHS COVID RESPONSE: INTERNATIONAL funds given for global relief will be used by IM to respond to requests by international partners for emergency grants. Gifts will meet immediate needs for feeding, housing and providing healthcare for persons impacted by COVID-19, with particular support for emergent and unmet needs of refugees, asylum seekers and immigrant populations. Funds will also support IM’s global partners at risk of suspending vital services to vulnerable members of their communities and will facilitate activities and programs focused on sustainable solutions that address the long-term impact of the pandemic.”
