July 4, 2021 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. Sixth Sunday after Pentecost Chiming of the Hour The people of Wilshire gather this morning to worship God. In order for this service to be focused upon that purpose, please silence all electronic devices. Prelude I Come with Joy arr. David Cherwien Opening Sentences John Parnell / Michael Shepard What do you bring to worship, to this sacred space today? Hope, faith and love? Despair, doubt or fear? Whatever you bring, whoever you are — you are a beloved child of God and you are welcome here. Come, let us join the everlasting song. Come, let us worship the Lord of all. Anthem Praise We Sing to Thee Haydn / Luvaas Sanctuary Choir Ensemble / Sanctuary Choir Praise we sing to thee, thou mighty ruler, king forever, Praise we sing to thee dear Father, we will fail thee never. All the joys of nature tell us ever of thy wond’rous pow’r. Still thy tender grace and mercy keep us ev’ry hour, Praise we sing to thee most holy, praise forever more! Grateful hymns of thanks we raise for all the gifts thou dost ordain. Lord of hosts who o’er the won’drous realm of heav’n doth reign. Praise we sing to thee most holy, praise forever more. Praise forever more! Greeting to Worshipers Carolyn Murray / Melissa Atkinson +Hymn 339 All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name coronation Epistle Reading — Galatians 3:26–29 Diana Early / Christie Michie In Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise. This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Todos ustedes son hijos de Dios mediante la fe en Cristo Jesús, porque todos los que han sido ba- utizados en Cristo se han revestido de Cristo. Ya no hay judío ni griego, esclavo ni libre, hombre ni mujer, sino que todos ustedes son uno solo en Cristo Jesús. Y, si ustedes pertenecen a Cristo, son la descendencia de Abraham y herederos según la promesa. Esta es la palabra del Señor. Gracias a Dios. Prayers of the People Heather Mustain 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 sins, As we forgive those who sin against us; And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen. Solo This Is My Song finlandia Candy McComb This is my song, O God of all the nations, A song of peace for lands afar and mine. This is my home, the country where my heart is; Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine; But other hearts in other lands are beating With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine. My country’s skies are bluer than the ocean, And sunlight beams on cloverleaf and pine; But other lands have sunlight too, and clover, And skies are everywhere as blue as mine. Oh hear my song, thou God of all the nations, A song of peace for their land and for mine. 4
This is my prayer, O ruler of all nations: Let thy reign come; on earth thy will be done. In peace may all earth’s people draw together, And hearts united learn to live as one. O hear my prayer, thou God of all the nations; Myself I give thee; let thy will be done. +Gospel Reading — Mark 6:1–6 Bob Coleman / Mary Lu Hare [Jesus] left that place and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. On the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astounded. They said, “Where did this man get all this? What is this wisdom that has been given to him? What deeds of power are being done by his hands! Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. Then Jesus said to them, “Prophets are not without honor, except in their hometown, and among their own kin, and in their own house.” And he could do no deed of power there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them. And he was amazed at their unbelief. This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Salió Jesús de allí y fue a su tierra, en compañía de sus discípulos. Cuando llegó el sábado, comenzó a enseñar en la sinagoga.—¿De dónde sacó este tales cosas? —decían maravillados muchos de los que le oían—. ¿Qué sabiduría es esta que se le ha dado? ¿Cómo se explican estos milagros que vienen de sus manos? ¿No es acaso el carpintero, el hijo de María y hermano de Jacobo, de José, de Judas y de Simón? ¿No están sus hermanas aquí con nosotros? Y se escandalizaban a causa de él. Por tanto, Jesús les dijo: —En todas partes se honra a un profeta, menos en su tierra, entre sus familiares y en su propia casa. En efecto, no pudo hacer allí ningún milagro, excepto sanar a unos pocos enfermos al imponerles las manos. Y él se quedó asombrado por la incredulidad de ellos. Esta es la palabra del Señor. Gracias a Dios.
