Prelude
Welcome
Announcements
Call to Worship: Psalm 104:24-34, 35b
Worship Song: "Healing Rain"
VERSE 1
Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor the weak and strong
It's bringing mercy it won't be long
CHORUS 1
Healing rain it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain I'm not afraid
To be washed in heaven's rain
VERSE 2
Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name
VERSE 3
Lift your heads let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes I see the pain
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain
CHORUS 2
And only You the Son of man
Could take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands they can be held
By someone greater the Great I Am
ENDING
Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid I'm not afraid

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
Chorus
Standing standing
Standing on the promises of God my Savior

Standing on the promises that cannot fail
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail
By the living Word of God I shall prevail
Standing on the promises of God

Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect present cleansing in the blood for me
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free
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
Verse 5
Standing on the promises I cannot fall
List'ning ev’ry moment to the Spirit's call
Resting in my Savior as my All in All
Standing on the promises of God

Benediction
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.
