Welcome to Christ Church! We are delighted that you are
worshipping with us. All baptized persons of every denomination are
welcome to receive communion at our altar. Please introduce
yourself to one of our greeters. Please let an usher know if you are
unable to come to the railing for Communion and the clergy will
come to you.
Are you looking for a church home? You are welcome to fill out a
pew card and place it in the offering plate. On it you can indicate
that you would like the clergy to call on you.
We would love to meet with you at coffee hour after the 10:00 AM
service. We meet in the Deppich Room. Go through the Red Doors
in the right rear of the sanctuary, through the small lobby and turn
left at the first door.
Coffee Hour Donations. Summertime is here so we are asking for
volunteers to sign up to cover a Sunday coffee hour in July, August
and on September 1st. A sign up sheet is located on the table at the
water cooler. Suggested items include fruit, bagels, muffins, cookies,
donuts, pastries or baked goods. Lemonade and ice tea will be
provided by the Church. Any questions, please see Elizabeth
Rasnake.
Out of respect for neighbors wishing for quiet time to pray before
the liturgy begins, please use your “inside voice” in the nave.
The Altar Flowers are given today in loving memory of Tom Fries,
by Ron Cirillo and the Fries family.
If you would like a loved one memorialized with Altar flowers,
please contact Janice Kordowski at 610-731-5252 for information.
As a reminder: If you get chilly in church this summer, please bring
a sweater or jacket. The air conditioning does not reach the
chancel, and the most heavily-dressed people are all up there!
HELP NEEDED!!! Weeders are desperately needed. Elizabeth &
Roy Rasnake, Nancy & Ken Mobley, Sue Dowling, and Judy Yorke
can’t do it all! Just come with a bag, gloves, a trowel and pick a
spot, any time! Bring your friends and family—many hands make
light work.

which children at ECS-sponsored summer camps are given new
backpacks filled with school supplies. The Outreach Committee here
at Christ Church is inviting you to take part, by dropping items into
the box at the coatrack at the top of the stairs nearest the kitchen.
Your participation will help ensure that children living in poverty
will be well-supplied for school in the fall, and that their teachers
will be relieved of the burden of supplying children with basic
necessities out of their own pockets. Items needed are number 2

pencils, washable colored markers (wide tip) and sets of 10 fine line
markers, glue sticks, safety scissors, pencil sharpeners, colored
pencils, blue and black pens, highlighters, pink erasers, 2-pocket

binders, composition notebooks, spiral notebooks, rulers, packs of
filler paper, both college-ruled and wide-ruled, packs of assorted

wipes, and boxes of tissues. Gender-neutral plain new backpacks are
also gratefully accepted. We will gather whatever we receive and
deliver them to ECS to be distributed in early August to the
children. The deadline by which we must receive these items is
TODAY.
Contact Update- If you fall in the age range of 5-32(ish) years old
please take a moment to fill out the Youth and Young Adult contact
update form in the back of the sanctuary or find the link on CCRP’s

please take a form to pass on to adult children!

Our ChildFund donations are way down, with fewer children
enrolled in Sunday School. We have an ongoing commitment to
Clara from Guatemala and Mac-Mac, from the Philippines, who are
only 9 and 10. If you wish to help the Sunday School with their
support of these two children, you can use the CHILDREN’S pew
envelope, or write a check to the church and put “ChildFund” in the
memo.
If you travel, your unused hotel toiletries (soap, shampoo, creams,
deodorant, toothbrush, dental floss, etc.) can be donated to the
homeless. There is a bin by the green doors for donations. We pack
them up every year on the MLK Volunteer Day to take to the
Salvation Army for distribution to their homeless clients.

Crayons! This agency serves homeless and low-income children in

The Lessons
FIRST READING: Deuteronomy 30:9-14
The people sit.
A Reading from the book of Deuteronomy.
[Moses said to the people of Israel,] 9“The LORD your God will make
you abundantly prosperous in all your undertakings, in the fruit of your
body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your soil. For the
LORD will again take delight in prospering you, just as he delighted in
prospering your ancestors, 10when you obey the LORD your God by
observing his commandments and decrees that are written in this book of
the law, because you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and
with all your soul.
11Surely, this commandment that I am commanding you today is not
too hard for you, nor is it too far away. 12It is not in heaven, that you
should say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us, and get it for us so that we
may hear it and observe it?’ 13Neither is it beyond the sea, that you
should say, ‘Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us, and get it
for us so that we may hear it and observe it?’ 14No, the word is very near
to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart for you to observe.”
Reader The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
Silence may follow.

PSALM: Psalm 25:1-9
1To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
my God, I put my trust in you; *
let me not be humiliated,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
2Let none who look to you be put to shame; *
let the treacherous be disappointed in their schemes.
3Show me your ways, O LORD, *
and teach me your paths.
4Lead me in your truth and teach me, *
for you are the God of my salvation;
in you have I trusted all the day long.
5Remember, O LORD, your compassion and love, *
for they are from everlasting.
6Remember not the sins of my youth and my transgressions; *
remember me according to your love
and for the sake of your goodness, O LORD.
7Gracious and upright is the LORD; *
therefore he teaches sinners in his way.
8He guides the humble in doing right *
and teaches his way to the lowly.
9All the paths of the LORD are love and faithfulness *
to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
14
SECOND READING: Colossians 1:1-14
The people sit.
A Reading from Paul's letter to the Church in Colossus.
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our
brother,
2To the saints and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ in Colossae:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
3In our prayers for you we always thank God, the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, 4for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the
love that you have for all the saints, 5because of the hope laid up for you
in heaven. You have heard of this hope before in the word of the truth,
the gospel 6that has come to you. Just as it is bearing fruit and growing in
the whole world, so it has been bearing fruit among yourselves from the
day you heard it and truly comprehended the grace of God. 7This you
learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful
minister of Christ on your behalf, 8and he has made known to us your
love in the Spirit.
9For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying
for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s
will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10so that you may lead
lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every
good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God. 11May you be
made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power,
and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while
joyfully 12giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in
the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13He has rescued us from the
power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved
Son, 14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Reader The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
Silence may follow.

SEQUENCE HYMN Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace (Nun danket
all und bringet Ehr) (H 627)
GOSPEL: Luke 10:25-37
All stand.
Celebrant The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Luke.
People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
16
25Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “what
must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26He said to him, “What is written in the
law? What do you read there?” 27He answered, “You shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your
strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” 28And
he said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will
live.”
29But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my
neighbor?” 30Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him,
and went away, leaving him half dead. 31Now by chance a priest was
going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other
side. 32So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him,
passed by on the other side. 33But a Samaritan while traveling came near
him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. 34He went to him
and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he
put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and
said, ‘Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you
whatever more you spend.’ 36Which of these three, do you think, was a
neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” 37He said,
“The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do
likewise.”
Celebrant The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.
THE SERMON
THE NICENE CREED
All stand.
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
17
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
CONFESSION OF SIN
The Celebrant says
Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.
Silence may be kept.
Minister and People
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will,
and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your Name. Amen.
The Celebrant stands and says
20
Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our
Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of
the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to

WORDS OF INSTITUTION
The People stand or kneel.
24
The Celebrant continues
We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you
have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your
people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the
Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to
be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the
world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to
stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out
of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.
On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and
when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples,
and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for
the remembrance of me.”
After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he
gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the
new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of
sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”
Therefore, according to his command, O Father,
Celebrant and People
We remember his death,
We proclaim his resurrection,
We await his coming in glory;
EPICLESIS
The Celebrant continues
And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of
all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.
We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts
that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of
the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be
25
acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the
fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring
us to that heavenly country where, with all your saints, we may enter the
everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author
of our salvation.
By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all
honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
And now as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
People and Celebrant
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 and ever. Amen.
