Welcome to Sunday Worship
Trinity Sunday, June 7, 2020 10:00 am
Welcome and Announcements
GATHERING AROUND THE WORD
Opening Prayer
Merciful and Just God, we gather here this morning, each of us with
many concerns on our hearts. Our hearts are concerned with systems
of injustice which strip people of their dignity and their very lives. Help
us to be those who would seek peace with justice, who would fight for
those who are oppressed, offer voices for the voiceless and dignity for
all humankind. Be with us this day and guide our steps toward a more
just world in your name. AMEN.
Call to Worship
One: Welcome this day to a celebration of God’s magnificent
creation!
All: Thanks be to God the Creator who has loaned to us
such a beautiful planet.
One: Welcome this day to a recognition of God’s redeeming love!
All: Thanks to God the Redeemer who has given us God’s
only Son as our Example and Teacher, Our Savior and
Redeemer!
2
One: Welcome this day to the joy of God’s Holy Spirit of truth and
power!
All: Thanks to God the Sustainer who walks with us every
day, guiding and guarding our steps. AMEN.
Hymn
Come, Thou Almighty King!
Come, thou almighty King, help us thy name to sing; help us
to praise: Father, all glorious, o’er all victorious,
come, and reign over us, Ancient of Days.
Come, thou incarnate Word, merciful, mighty Lord, our prayer
attend. Come, and thy people bless, and give thy
word success; Spirit of holiness, on us descend.
Come, holy Comforter, thy sacred witness bear in this glad
hour. Thou who almighty art, now rule in every heart,
and ne’er from us depart, Spirit of power.
To thee, great One in Three, eternal praises be, hence
evermore! Thy sovereign majesty may we in glory
see, and to eternity love and adore.
Prayer of Confession unison
We confess this day, O merciful God, that we have not always
acted in just ways nor sought justice for our friends and
neighbors. We have found it easy to turn our backs on problems
3
rather than seeking to be a solution to them. We have heard of
the many ways in which you have demonstrated peace with
justice through the ministries of your Son, yet we have given only
sporadic attention to them. Forgive us, Lord. Heal our selfishness
and brokenness. Cause us to be witnesses to your great love as
shown to us in Jesus Christ. AMEN.
Silent Confession
Assurance of Pardon
One: This is the good news: Christ died for us that we might have
life. We are called to give our lives to ministries of justice.
God is with us in this and all righteous endeavors as we are
led by the Spirit.
All: Thanks be to God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
PROCLAIMING THE WORD
Prayer of Illumination
Reading from the New Testament
2 Corinthians 13:11-13
Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order, listen to my
appeal, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and
peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints
greet you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the
communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.
The Holy Bible: New Revised Standard Version. (1989). (2 Cor 13:11-13). Nashville: Thomas Nelson Publishers.

Reading from the Gospel
Mathew 28:16-20
16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which
Jesus had directed them. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him;
but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority
in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey
everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you
always, to the end of the age.”
The Holy Bible: New Revised Standard Version. (1989). (Mt 28:16-20). Nashville: Thomas Nelson Publishers.
One: This is the Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God!

MY NOTES:
RESPONDING TO THE WORD

Affirmation of Faith 1 Peter 4:12-14
Beloved in Christ, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that is
taking place among us to test you, as though something strange
were happening to you. We will rejoice insofar as we are sharing
in Christ’s sufferings, so that we may also be glad and shout for
joy when his glory is revealed. If we are reviled for the name of
Christ, we are blessed, because the spirit of glory, which is the
Spirit of God, is resting on us. Amen.

Prayers of the People
The Lord’s Prayer
GOING OUT INTO THE WORLD
Hymn
Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,

though the eye of sinfulness thy glory may not see,
only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
perfect in power, in love and purity.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea.
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
Benediction
