PRELUDE “Prelude” Franck WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS TRINITY CHIMES CALL TO WORSHIP Ryan Foltz

We say to the Lord, “You are our Lord; everything good comes from you.”

We keep the Lord always before us; because God is at our right hand, we shall not be moved.

Therefore our hearts are glad, and our souls rejoice; our bodies also rest secure.

LORD, you show us the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy!

HYMN 49 “Ask Me What Great Thing I Know”

PRAYER OF ADORATION Rev. Andrew Taylor Peck

LORD God, creator of Heaven and Earth we lift you up on high. On Earth Stewardship Sunday we rejoice even more fully in the glory of your Creation. For the cleansing rains and the warming sunshine we give you thanks. For the beauty of the mountains and the seas we give you thanks. For the howl of the coyote and the song of the bluebird we give you thanks. We rejoice in the beauty of your world! Amen.

CALL TO CONFESSION Rev. Andrew Taylor Peck

PRAYER OF CONFESSION Rev. Andrew Taylor Peck

Dear LORD, we confess that we have fallen short of your call on us to be stewards of your world. We have sinned against you when we defile your pure air and clean water. We have sinned against you when we waste your precious resources. We have sinned against you when we cause the extinction of one of any of your beloved species. LORD, forgive us these transgressions and help us to see the error of our ways. Amen.

100th Anniversary Celebration, invitations are available in the church office. The celebration will take place on May 2nd in Fellowship Hall.

SPRING TO GUATEMALA Our “March to Guatemala” fundraising campaign is now our “Spring to Guatemala!” fundraiser. This fundraiser will continue throughout the spring season, in hopes of raising a substantial

portion of our mission trip costs. During our mission trip, we will build 4 concrete homes for families currently living in corn stalk shacks and volun-teer in an orphanage for children with disabilities. How it works: A bulletin board located in the Narthex will have envelopes numbered 1-100 on it; the numbers represent the amount of money you would like to donate to the youth group students. Simply take the envelope, fill it with the amount of money listed on the front of the envelope, and return the envelope WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS ON IT to the church office during regular business hours. The money donated to “Spring to Guatemala” will go di-rectly towards the senior high students’ expenses for the trip. Please con-sider donating to the cause! There is a wide variety of amounts still availa-ble to donate, and every little bit counts! We are extremely thankful for your continued love and support of our youth at Trinity!

Our Resounding Joy Bell Choir is including the "Singing Bell" effect in their music today. It is a technique adapted from the Asian tradition of singing bowls which may date as early as the eighth

century. The rim of our bells will vibrate to produce a beautiful "singing" sound by rubbing the outer edge with a wooden stick. Our thanks to Chuck Evans and David Miner for providing our singing bell dowels.

Courtyard Garden Fund Chuck and Delores Bebout have volunteered to take care of the flowers in the Main Courtyard and outside entrances of the church. Donations may be placed in the flower pot in the Narthex, or left in the church office. Cash or checks made out to Trinity UCC and marked Courtyard Flowers will be gratefully accepted. Thanks for your continued support.
