WELCOME to Asbury First United Methodist Church

We are a caring,

Christ-centered community;

Our hearts and doors are open to all.

We invite you to join us in worship,

in learning about faith,

and in loving our neighbor.

We are Asbury First, and we are glad you’re here.

AN INVITATION TO WORSHIPWelcome visitors! We invite you to sign the ritual of friendship pad during the service. Please complete a visitor card, found in the pews, and take it to the welcome desk in the Welcoming Hall, where we have a small gift for you. Informational brochures are available in the Welcoming Hall. If you’re interested in becoming a part of our community, please check the appropriate column on the ritual of friendship pad, or contact any pastor. Again, a deep WELCOME!

Worship Aids: Large-print bulletins, Bibles, and hymnals are available from the ushers. Braille hymnals and ASL interpreters are available with one week’s advance notice to the church office, (585) 271-1050, x103. A hearing loop in the sanctuary is available for those who have hearing aids with T switches; you may also request earphones from the ushers that will aid you in hearing the service if needed. CDs of our Sunday morning services or just the sermon may be borrowed or purchased; call or stop by the office and speak with the receptionist during the week.

Prayer Request Cards are in the pew racks. We invite you to place prayer requests in the offering plates, so that our pastors and the Intercessory Prayer Group may pray for you. Your prayer request is confidential.

Coffee Fellowship: You are invited to enjoy coffee, tea, or cocoa and conversation every Sunday, 9:30 am to 11:30 am, at Heavenly Grounds in the Gathering Center. Treats may also be available.

Giving to Asbury First: Donations to Asbury First may be made during the service by placing your gift (cash or check) in the offering plate when it is passed. You may also give online at www.asburyfirst.org. Questions? Contact Morgan Dornsife at (585) 271-1050 x112 or [email protected].

As a community of faith, we believe that children are sacred gifts and they are welcome in our worship. We recognize that children can become restless during worship. Excellent nursery and childcare is offered. Children’s bulletins are available. Please see an usher for more information.

After the service we welcome you to sit in the chancel choir pews to meditate and listen to the organ postlude.

We kindly ask that as you enter the Sanctuary you turn off your cell phone.

Worship on Radio: Each Sunday morning from 11 am-noon you can tune your radio to WYSL 1040 AM or 92.1 FM to hear today’s worship service. You may also go to www.WYSL1040.com and hear audio of the service.

LIVE & Archived Worship on your Computer: We offer live video streaming of the 11 am service on our website at www.asburyfirst.org. A video archive of past services is also available. We welcome your suggestions on how we may improve these offerings.

Reconciliation Statement: Asbury First United Methodist Church prayerfully strives to live in its community with open hearts, open minds and open doors. Affirming that each person is of sacred worth, we seek to be a fully inclusive church, believing that all people are God’s children, created in God’s image, loved and blessed equally by God. It is our purpose to be a Reconciling Congregation. This means extending hospitality and encouraging full participation of all, regardless of age, race, national origin, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, marital status or family structure, education or economic background, and physical or mental ability. We recognize that we hold a variety of opinions. We do not seek to erase our differences, but to journey together in faith toward greater understanding and mutual respect. We believe that reconciliation to God and to one

another is central to our mission and ministry.2

Our Mission StatementLove God and neighbor.

Live fully. Serve all. Repeat.

Sound Bite Love. Live. Serve. Repeat.

*Call to Worship All are invited to read the bold-faced type; the lay reader will read the unbolded type.(From MinistryMatters) Reach out your hand and touch our mouth, O God,

That authentic praise may flow freely from our lips.Put your words in our mouth, O God,That we might exalt you with reverence and awe.Empower us to speak truth to the nations and to build your kingdom here on earthLet it be so today and every day. Amen. Alleluia.

Prayer of Confession

(Adapted from Sara Teasdale’s “I Am Not

Yours”)

We are not yours. Not lost in you.We are not lost, although we long to beLost as a candle lit at noonLost as a snowflake in the sea.You love us,Yet here we are,

Longing to beLost as a light is lost in lightOh plunge us deep in love!Put out our senses!Let the tempest of your love sweep us away,As a taper rushing in the wind.

Silent Confession All are invited to offer their personal prayers of silent confession.

Words of Assurance Beloved, hear the Good News:The love of God made manifest through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ knows no bounds. God’s love is already washing over us. Our deepest longings will be fulfilled. There is mercy enough. There is grace enough. There is love enough for all of us.In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.Glory to God. Amen.

*GloriaTune: Hymn #102

All glory be to God, all praise and thanks be given; Whose Son and Spirit reign as one in highest Heaven; Our one eternal God, whom earth and heaven adore; For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.

TO HEAR THE WORDScripture

Hebrews 11:32–12:2And what more should I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets—who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to accept release, in order to obtain a better resurrection. Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned to death, they were sawn in two, they were killed by the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, persecuted, tormented—of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.

(continued on next page)

Yet all these, though they were commended for their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better so that they would not, apart from us, be made perfect. Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

Anthem “What You’d Call A Dream”—Craig Carnelia

There are two men out and it’s in the ninth, and the score is four to three.There’s a man on first and a man at bat, and the man at bat is me.And I’m sort a scared, and I’m sort a proud, and I’m stronger than I seem.And I take a swing, and my dad is there, and it’s what you’d call a dream.For the ball flies in the sun and it sails off as I run.The crowd is roaring, cheering as I go. So are all the guys on the team.And I run for home, and we win the game and it’s what you’d call a dream.And the sun shines like diamonds. The summer sun shines like diamonds.The summer sun high in a baseball sky, shines like diamonds.And the sun shines like diamonds.There are two men out and it’s in the ninth, and the score is four to three.There’s a man on first, and a man at bat, and the man at bat is me.And, it’s what you’d call a dream.

Children’s Time All children are invited forward at this time and may bring their prayer requests and offerings.

Lord's Prayer 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass 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.

*Hymn #344 “Tú Has Venido a la Orilla” (Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore) (vv. 1, 3) This song may be sung in either English or Spanish.During the singing of this hymn, children four years old through fifth grade are invited to exit the sanctuary for Enrichment Time. 5

LITANY OF GRATITUDE AND BLESSINGLoving God, you call us each in different ways; your Spirit is within and among usand we respond in love using the gifts you have given to us.

We thank you for how you have called Ian and blessed him in ministry among us during this last year. We pray that he continues to find meaningful ways to serve you and your people.

As we say goodbye to Ian, we give thanks for the joy, love, and peace he has shared with this community.

We pray that his new congregation will be blessed in the ways that he has blessed us.

Laying on of Hands God of change and transition, you have blessed Ian with particular gifts and have stirred in him a desire to use them to do more good. As he leaves Asbury First and moves on to Dulin United Methodist in Falls Church, Virginia, give him the strength, wisdom, and guidance to continue to serve you with the power of the Holy Spirit; shower him with the grace to be quick to serve, patient in listening, and attendant to your Word. In times of stress and in times of joy, give him a special measure of your mercy and peace.

Loving God, we thank you for Ian and his ministry among us. May he feel your presence as he goes about your work, bringing your deep love and healing to those who are burdened. Strengthen and surround him with your love. Guide, guard, and protect him now and forever as we all continue to live in your love. Amen.

Offertory “Christ Is The World’s True Light”—Walter Kendall Stanton

Christ is the world’s true Light, its Captain of salvation;The daystar clear and bright of every race and nation.New life, new hope awakes where’er we own his sway;Freedom her bondage breaks and night is turned to day.In Christ all peoples meet, their ancient feuds forgetting,The whole round world complete, from sunrise to its setting.When Christ is throned as Lord, we shall forsake our fear;To plough-share beat the sword, to pruning hook the spear.One Lord, in one great Name, unite us all who own thee;Cast out our pride and shame, that hinder to enthrone thee.The world has waited long, has travailed long in pain;To heal its ancient wrong, Come Prince of Peace and reign.

*Doxology #95 “Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow”

*Prayer of Dedication

God of Grace, we lay ourselves bare before you.May these gifts satisfy hunger, physically and spiritually, in this community and in the world. Amen.

The Next Step: THANK YOU!During the month of May, we launched an initiative to raise funds for the Outreach Terrace project of our planned newly renovated Outreach Center. The purpose

of this initiative was to create new and meaningful ways for people to commit to the Better Together campaign for the first time. And what a success it has been! As of the end of May, we have received commitments from 12 individuals/families who are first-time donors to the Better Together Campaign. While unexpected, we had a number of people give to this project who have already made a Better Together Campaign pledge. To all who made a commitment, thank you for joining our legacy of generosity here at Asbury First. Your gift is helping further our vision to Do More Good through our Outreach. At the end of May, we received $25,850 from 30 individuals/families. The opportunity to give to this initiative will continue, and our prayer is that it will continue to bring in new donors to the Better Together campaign. For more information, please contact Morgan Dornsife at [email protected] or (585) 271-1050 x112.

DISCIPLESHIPSpiritual Life Ministry Spiritual ReflectionThe Spiritual Life Ministry offers you a weekly Summer Spiritual Reflection encouraging you to Rest, Renew, Relax, and Repeat. This week’s spiritual theme is “School’s out.” Do you remember the excitement of the last day of school each year? The way that the anticipation of “no more homework, no more books” opened our eyes and world to new possibilities? Try to reimagine the excitement, energy and enthusiasm of those days. How can you use this energy to reignite some aspect of your life that needs attention? This week’s reflection: The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.

Community Ice Cream Social: Sunday, July 1In these divided times, the Rochester community is invited to come together over a dish of good local ice cream and share our perspectives on what being an American means to us, what’s hard for us about being Americans, and how our perspectives on this have changed. This will help us see the people behind their positions, expand our own understanding of

what it means to be an American, and deepen

our collective appreciation of what it means to be an American in these times. The event is 2-4 pm, Sunday, July 1, on the front lawn of the Asbury First United Methodist church (weather permitting), or inside 1010 East Ave. if the weather is rainy. The event is free, but we ask that you kindly RSVP by Monday, June 25. Enroll at connect.pachamama.org/node/1084 or e-mail [email protected]. (This community event is sponsored by Rochester Pachamama Alliance’s Seeds of Hope, which meets at Asbury First on the first Sunday of every month.)

Summer Faith and Arts Class! Beginning Wednesday, June 27 at 6 pmJoin us as we continue to discover our gifts and passions as creative beings in the kingdom of God. Under the direction of our summer ministry intern, Brooke Caton, we will explore topics related to theology and the arts, with a different focus each week—starting with Faith & Jazz. Whether you can make it to one or all, we hope you will join us. This class takes place on Wednesday evenings from 6–7 pm, beginning on June 27 and ending August 1 (except July 4) in building 1040 and room 202 of the education wing.

Please Take A Moment to Participate in the Communications Survey This Morning

The Asbury First Communications Team is seeking your input regarding the effectiveness of the

communications and information you receive from and about Asbury First. We ask you to take a few

minutes to fill out the survey located in the Gathering Center at the Ministry Corner table to evaluate

current communication tools and share your priorities for future communication. Please fill out and return

this form to the church office at 1050 East Ave during regular business hours.

Have a Care Request? Let Us Know! Bidden or unbidden, God is present. Here at Asbury First, we feel and know this to be true, and we rejoice in this good news! We work to share the presence of God with others, during the good times and during the bad times. Often, during the challenging times in our lives, we need a little help. Our caring ministries are here to support you as we are able to meet your needs. Do you—or someone you know—need some extra care and attention due to illness, bereavement, injury, or another pressing need? We want to be there for you and with you! Care Request forms are available at the Welcome Desk in the Welcoming Hall; please take one if there is a need that we can help address. For more information, please contact Rev. Kathy Thiel at [email protected] or (585) 271-1050 x106.

Caring for One AnotherAt Asbury First, we are a tightly-knit family and strive to care for one another every day—not just on Sundays. That’s why we are inviting you to reach out to individuals in our community whom you may not have seen around the campus recently. Perhaps there has been an especially busy or difficult time for someone in our church community and they could use words of encouragement, a meal, or prayers. We ask that you take a moment each week to reflect on the faces you have seen and those you may not have seen recently—and reach out to them, or let someone with the Asbury First staff know, and we can reach out for you! For details, please contact Rev. Kathy Thiel at [email protected] or (585) 271-1050 x106.

The Grocery Bag Ministry Needs Your HelpThe true front lines of hunger in our community are just a few short miles from Asbury First!

There will be another opportunity to donate on Dec. 17, so mark your calendar. And thanks to all who participated!
