Prelude
Welcome
Announcements
Call to Worship:
Jesus prayed that we, the church, would be one,
just as he and the Father are one.
Today we offer our praise and prayer together,
as one body, in Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
In harmony, let us glorify God—Father, Son, and Spirit.
Worship Song: #56 "To God Be The Glory"
Verse 1
To God be the glory great things He has done
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the life gate that all may go in
Chorus
Praise the Lord praise the Lord
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord praise the Lord
Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
And give Him the glory great things He has done
Verse 2
O perfect redemption the purchase of blood
To every believer the promise of God
The vilest offender who truly believes
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives
Verse 3
Great things He has taught us
Great things He has done
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son
But purer and higher and greater will be
Our wonder our transport when Jesus we see

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.
