Our spirits need the refreshing water of your word, just as our bodies need the refreshment of a cool drink. We worship you with joy, for we can already feel the gift of your presence all around us. Now open our ears that we may hear all that you expect of us. Open our lives to your truth and prepare us to follow Jesus in accepting the unacceptable, challenging the conventional, and joining together in a harvest for your realm. Amen.Call To Confession (Pastor)Just as our ancestors in the faith quarreled and complained and tested God, we are tempted to do the same. We have hardened our hearts and turned away from the Source of Life. Yet God comes to us with reconciling grace. Are we ready to return to the relationship God intends with us? (Moment of Silent Prayer)Prayer Of Confession (All)What will you do with us, God? We are never satisfied with our lot. We rebel and complain when things don’t go our way. Our hearts chase after things that become gods to us and consume our time, energy, and attention. We spend little time in communion with you and then begin to doubt your presence. You seem far away and unavailable. We create barriers among ourselves that separate us from one another and from you. Send your living water to cleanse us, O God. Empower us to worship in spirit and in truth. Amen.Kyrie:Pastor:Lord, have mercy upon us.People:Lord, have mercy upon us.Pastor:Christ, have mercy upon us.People:Christ, have mercy upon us.Pastor:Lord, have mercy upon us.People:Lord, have mercy upon us.Assurance of Pardon (Pastor)Christ died for us, demonstrating the vastness of God’s love for us, bringing reconciliation and the assurance of salvation. We are offered a new quality of life in which faithfulness is valued more highly than security. Rise up, all who have been drifting through life. Christ has come to lead us through the shadowed valleys. Let us respond in spirit and truth.Apostles CreedI believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic (Christian) church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.Holy Scriptures: (NRSV)John Lepera Psalm 95 (Pg.479 in regular print Bible, pgs.735-736 in lg. print) Romans 5: 1-11 (Pg.917 in regular print Bible, pgs. 207-208 in lg. print) John 4: 5-42 (Pgs.864-865 in reg. print Bible, pgs.128-129 in lg. print) Sermon: “Spiritual Satisfaction”Sermon Hymn: “It Is Well” Pastoral PrayerThe Lord’s Prayer (All)Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.OfferingPrayer of Dedication (All)Thank you, God for all the ways we have benefitted from the labor of others. We offer our best for the sake of brothers and sisters who need the love and encouragement you are eager to share through us. Keep us from being ungrateful as we continue to receive so much more than we stop to realize. When life is difficult, help us to endure and to hope because your love is sure and certain. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.*Closing Hymn: “Let There Be Peace On Earth” “Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. Let there be peace on earth; the peace that was meant to be. With God as our Father, brothers all are we. Let me walk with my brother, in perfect harmony. Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now. With every step I take, let this be my solemn vow: to take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally. Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.”*Benedictionleft266065 Our Mission StatementThe mission of Heidelberg United Church of Christ is to know our Savior and to let Him work through us as we reach out in worship, service, and witness to all.Our Vision StatementAs Heidelberg United Church of Christ, we hear God calling us to accomplish the vision He has provided through: broadening the base of His church’s membership within our own congregation; communicating His gospel more effectively; serving the local community with greater commitment; to grow and strengthen in the faith with which God has entrusted us; and, in obedience to His command and call, ministering in those ways that will assure the growth and enrichment of congregational identity and Christian discipleship.members WHO NEED OUR PRAYERSJoan Baack Family Peg FrascaSteve Heinel Donna & Bill HenryJan KachinskyGloria Kellow Rose Kriebel Julie MoserMatt MoserScott MoserJack & Mary Palko Don RyanMarlene SironAndrea SmithShirley SnyderNancy StewartAnnette Watson Frank & Lois WonderBetsy Thomas WatermanThe Paskill-Ertel FamilyThe Morrall Family The Ruth Miller FamilyThe Robert Krum FamilyThe Howard Riggins FamilyTHOSE WHO NEED OUR PRAYERSGeorge & Linda Harpel (Camuso)Patty Rash (Baack) Logan Snyder (Lersch) Jennifer Wonder (Wonder) Susan Keyser (Martin) Tim Kaufman (Gerges) Eileen Ockenhouse (Lersch) Karen Baack (Joan’s daughter) Len & Sharon Jamison (Krum)Nancy Lindsay (Burger) The Pray Family (Ryan) The Frylewicz Family (Ryan)Dave Strong (Kachinsky)Betty Bush (Lersch)Kim Morgan (Smith)Mary Puzzio (Michener)Peg HarveyPhyllis Goshow (Kriebel)Jeffrey Moyer (Kriebel)Kimberly Peterson (Haines)Howard Welsh (Micheners)Rita Brown (Kriebel)Mark Werner (Smith)Anita Michelow (Smith)Andrea Cruise (Ryan)Tony Minio Family (Eroh)Dottie Duke (Kriebel)Alice Leber(Michener) Jeanette Garges (Lersch) Greg Becktel (Polukis)Chris Currie Dorene Bobb (Camuso)Shirley Bergey (Gerges) Nicole Yearick Fluck (Henry)Patricia Smith (Eroh)Susan Hamilton (Morralls)Maryanne Fornari (Baack)The Smith Family (Ryan)Jordon Mathews (Martin)Tim CrawfordPatricia Gammon (McLaughlin)Betty Jean Halteman (Morrall)Rita Proud (Paskill)Terry McGoldrick (Ryan)Fran DevineJean and Tony Norris (Snyder)Mike Biletta (Barron)Allison Burdick (Michener)Pete Engelman Family (Nyce)Rosenberger Family (Kohler)Bob Barron Family (Barron)Bev Fulmer (Ryan)Becky McLaughlin (HUCC)Denise Schmidt (Kachinsky)Pam Mohl (Yarbrough)Travis Guldin (Kohler)Paul LatnerDebra Martin (Kriebel)Potential Upcoming Services Depending On The Proliferation or Abatement of CoVid-19.
