Older Children’s
Bulletin

Good morning!  This page is intended to both serve as a continuing worship option for those participating in our worship service from home, and to serve in place of print resources during our in-person worship.  Following the worship service on Sunday, one or more video recordings from the service will be placed on this page, including the sermon.  This may take several hours, due to the time needed to process the videos.  We will email the congregation when the recordings have been posted.  If you would like to be added to our congregational email list, please contact pvcob.alive@gmail.com.

Here is the recording of the full service. A video of the Children’s time and Audio for the sermon are available below.

We will be worshiping on Sunday mornings in the pavilion through July 12th. This will be reviewed at the July 12 Church Board Meeting.

Thine is the Glory

by Jeremiah Padilla | Streamed with permission. CSPL121366

God who creates,
who gave birth to creation and who chose also to make us,
who sought us out in Jesus,
who reminds us that we were each created to be a part of your family,
send your Spirit freshly among us.

Burn away everything that divides us from each other,
everything that compels us to live without compassion,
everything that persuades us to neglect the stranger,
and forgets those who look or sound different.

Equip us to do the difficult thing:
to trust your love and mercy,
to see each other only through grace.

Overwhelm us with love for each other,
so that we may be made ready to take up the cross of reconciliation,
so that we may be made ministers of your gospel, and not our own,
so that we may see and know your salvation, alive among us.

Redeem us as children in your family, and receive our worship this morning. Amen.

Psalm 32:1-7

Blessed is the one
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.

Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord does not count against them
and in whose spirit is no deceit.

When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
For day and night
your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.

Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
my transgressions to the Lord.”
And you forgave
the guilt of my sin.

Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
will not reach them.

You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.

Praise, I will praise you, Lord

Praise, I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart.
O God, I will tell the wonders of your ways,
and glorify your name.
Praise, I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart.
In you I will find the source of all my joy. Alleluia!

Love, I will love you, Lord, with all my heart.
O God, I will tell the wonders of your ways,
and glorify your name.
Love, I will love you, Lord, with all my heart.
In you I will find the source of all my joy. Alleluia!

Serve, I will serve you, Lord, with all my heart.
O God, I will tell the wonders of your ways,
and glorify your name.
Serve, I will serve you, Lord, with all my heart.
In you I will find the source of all my joy. Alleluia!

Romans 4:13-25

For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith. If it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. For the law brings wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there violation.

For this reason it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants, not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham (for he is the father of all of us, as it is written, ‘I have made you the father of many nations’)—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. Hoping against hope, he believed that he would become ‘the father of many nations’, according to what was said, ‘So numerous shall your descendants be.’ He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was already as good as dead (for he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, being fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. Therefore his faith ‘was reckoned to him as righteousness.’ Now the words, ‘it was reckoned to him’, were written not for his sake alone, but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was handed over to death for our trespasses and was raised for our justification.

Like the Murmur of the Dove’s Song

Like the murmur of the dove’s song,
like the challenge of her flight,
like the vigour of the wind’s rush,
like the new flame’s eager might:
come, Holy Spirit, come.
To the members of Christ’s Body,
to the branches of the Vine,
to the church in faith assembled,
to her midst as gift and sign:
come, Holy Spirit come.
With the healing of division,
with the ceaseless voice of prayer,
with the power to love and witness,
with the peace beyond compare:
come, Holy Spirit come.

Like the Murmur of the Dove's Song

1 John 4:13-19
By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world. God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, and they abide in God. So we have known and believe the love that God has for us.

God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness on the day of judgement, because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love. We love because he first loved us.

The love that we share with others is a testimony to the love that God has for all people. I thank God today for a church that loves and shares and gives witness to his goodness. Thank you for supporting the ministries of the church and sharing God’s love.

“It is the Lord”

God, thank you for the dawn that comes every morning,
even after our darkest nights.
We give you thanks for life full of hope.
For birds singing their spring songs in the dark before the dawn;
for the smell after the rain, fresh when we open the door;
For every sign of new life, we give you thanks!
We give you thanks for your son Jesus Christ,
for his sacrifice for us, for his teaching.
Help us to grasp resurrection; to understand its power,
to see its force at work in our world,
thawing the hatred within us, melting our hearts,
changing our human landscape slowly, forcefully.
We pray your hand would intervene in our brokeness
for peace to be planted and grow, for new hope to come.
Jesus, we might not always recognize you,
but thank you that you walk with us in both the big cataclysms of our time,
and in the everyday events too.
Forgive us for the times we’ve failed to show love,
for the ways we’ve hardened our hearts
even to those we love the most.
Give us grace to apologize, and wisdom to make things right.
Thank you for your presence in the doctor’s offices, clinics and hospitals we visit,
as we face sickness, as we recover.
Thank you that you are with us at the moment of death,
and with those left behind to grieve.
We wait for the moments where you are suddenly revealed
in the every day and painful moments of our lives,
where we say, wonderingly, “It is the Lord!”
Thank you for the times we catch sight of your kingdom come,
in the person of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns in us forever.
Amen

From the Inside Out

Verse 1
A thousand times I’ve failed.
Still Your mercy remains.
And should I stumble again,
Still I’m caught in Your grace.
Everlasting,
Your light will shine when all else fades.
Never-ending,
Your glory goes beyond all fame.

Verse 2
Your will above all else,
My purpose remains.
The art of losing myself,
In bringing You praise.
Everlasting,
Your light will shine when all else fades.
Never-ending,
Your glory goes beyond all fame.

Chorus 1
In my heart in my soul
Lord I give You control.
Consume me from the inside out, Lord.
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace,
To love You from the inside out.

Chorus 2
Everlasting,
Your light will shine when all else fades.
Never-ending,
Your glory goes beyond all fame.
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise.
From the inside out,
Lord, my soul cries out (Lord).
