Hey Everyone,
Guess what!
We’re going outside this Sunday, June 25th for our regularly scheduled 10:00am worship service. If you’ve signed up for worship set up for any week this summer, we’re asking that you show up at 9:00am this Sunday, so we can all our ducks in a row. And, if you didn’t sign up, but would like to serve in this way, please show up at 9:00 in Darley.
If that’s not exciting enough for you, I’m happy to share that we’ll also be starting our summer series on the history of the church. This week, I’ll offer an introduction to the series, covering 2,000 years of church history in only 20 minutes. For those interested in reading the lectionary texts for this week, you’ll still be able to find them in the online downloadable Order of Worship bulletin below.
And as we start our summer series on the History of the Church, we invite you to read over and consider our theme song/hymn for the summer: The Church’s One Foundation.
The Church’s One Foundation
(1) The Church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord;
she is his new creation, by water and the word:
from heaven he came and sought her to be his holy bride;
with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died.
(2) Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth,
her charter of salvation: one Lord, one faith, one birth;
one holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses with every grace endued.
(3) Though with a scornful wonder we see her sore oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed:
yet saints their watch are keeping, their cry goes up, “How long?”
and soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song.
(4) ’Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation of peace forevermore,
till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest,
and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest.
(5) Yet she on earth hath union with God, the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee.
