ANNOUNCEMENTS

Beginning today, coffee hour will be held in Banner Hall. The Preble Park Windows Task Group made a recommendation to Session

after considering some professional advice from Coventry Glass in Appleton. The Session approved creating a new interior entry wall incorporating the stained glass insets (3 panels) on both sides of a new door. The estimated cost of the project is $5,500 and it will proceed when 80% of the funds have been raised. The Task Force believes that this option will have the most beautiful outcome and it honors the original setting of the glass at the Preble Park Church. If you would like to contribute to this project, please designate your gift for the “Preble Windows.”

Our transition team is: Chairperson Kirke Ryder, Amy Wittman, Jane

Bies and Wes Michael. Please pray for them as they work with Presbytery staff to plan next steps for pastoral leadership.

The Youth Group from Newsong Fellowship Church in Edwardsville, IL

will be here on a mission trip July 7-12 and will be using our church building as a place to sleep. If you happen to see any of them, please provide them with our warm First Pres welcome!

Youth Triennium is July 16-20 at Purdue University. Please pray for

Ben and our youth. Synod School will be held July 21-26 at Buena Vista University, Storm

Lake, Iowa. Program books are available on the bulletin board. The Power of the Pipes organ recital series is returning for summer 2019,

including our very own Bob Nickel and Jennifer Hanson on July 30. This summer our Vacation Bible School will be held August 5-7. Please

note that this is Monday-Wednesday to avoid a conflict with the Packer Game on August 8. The theme this year is the “Fruits of the Spirit.” Parents can register their children on our website.

CALL TO CONFESSION…………………………………………….Sara Bostedt PRAYER OF CONFESSION (unison) ………….…………………Sara Bostedt O God, help us to confess our sins. You give us a place in your creation, and you intend that we live in love with all that you have made. We confess that we abuse what you give us. By our thoughts, actions, and the meditations of our hearts we show how enslaved we are to life made corrupt by sin. Far from walking in the Spirit, we stumble on paths that lead to death. O Fire of heaven, have mercy on us. Satisfy the longings of our souls by taking us up into your Spirit that we may love our neighbor. Rekindle our desire to follow our Savior, Jesus Christ, whose passion for obeying you leads us to our inheritance, which is your promised kingdom. Amen. SILENT PRAYER OF CONFESSION WORDS OF ASSURANCE *RESPONSE IN SONG #288 Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me. Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me. Melt me; mold me; fill me; use me. Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me. *THE PEACE Jesus said: “As the Lord has forgiven us, let us also forgive one another.” The peace of the Lord Jesus be with you. And also with you. We exchange signs of peace. (children remain in worship)
