WORDS OF WELCOME AND COMMUNITY INTEREST Welcome to The Bath Church on this first Sunday of the summer schedule! Today we welcome new members and will share a reception with them following worship. Please welcome them! If you are a guest with us today, we look forward to giving you a "Welcome Bag" as you leave the sanctuary so that you can become better acquainted with us. Thank you for coming to worship, and we hope that you will join us each Sunday. PRELUDE: Prelude on the New Commonwealth R. Vaughan Williams - As the Prelude begins, let us with silence prepare our hearts for worship - CALL TO WORSHIP: Leader: Friends in Christ: we have been told by our Master to love one another, just as God loves us. People: Christ called us his friends, and commanded us to love each other. Leader: Jesus also said that to love him is to obey him, and to obey him is to love one another. People: May our love for God, for Christ, and for one another abide forever, that we may truly be the friends of Christ. p HYMN OF PRAISE: God of Grace and God of Glory No. 569 p COMMUNITY PRAYER: Caring God, it shames us to admit how difficult we find it to love in a self-giving, much less a self-sacrificing way. Forgive us, our selfishness. Fill us with your love and impress upon us Christ’s love: that by your grace and his example, we may more truly be worthy disciples and loving friends of the one who died for us. In Christ’s Name we pray. Amen. In silence we bring our prayers of confession…. p SILENT PRAYER • WORDS OF ASSURANCE • PASSING GOD’S PEACE: "May the peace of Christ be with you." p RESPONSE: Lord, We Lift Your Name on High No. 88 Lord, I lift your name on high. Lord. I love to sing your praises. I’m so glad you’re in my life. I’m so glad you came to save us. You came from heaven to earth to show the way, from the earth to the cross, My debt to pay; from the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky, Lord, I lift your name on high. ANTHEM: My Heart Is Steadfast, O God Kevin Thomson SCRIPTURE READING: John 15:12-17 NT pg. 96 THE CHILDREN’S MOMENT (After which children age six and under leave for childcare) COMMISSIONING OUR LIBERIA TRIP MISSIONERS SERMON: "God Wants Us to Know One Another" THE OFFERING OF OUR TITHES AND GIFTS THE OFFERTORY MUSIC: Allein Gott in Der Höh’ sei Her Friedrich Zachau p THE DOXOLOGY No. 382 PRAYER CONCERNS AND CELEBRATIONS RECEPTION OF NEW MEMBERS Congregational Response: We welcome you with joy as partners in the common life of this church.

Go with us to the streets, to our homes, and to our places of labor and leisure that whether we are gathered or scattered, we may be the servant church of the servant Christ, who taught us to pray together: "Our Father…." p HYMN OF COMMITMENT: Rise Up, O Saints of God No. 590 p THE BENEDICTION AND BLESSING p POSTLUDE: God of Grace Paul Manz p All that are able are invited to stand.
