this is god’s house. all are welcome.
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church
Eighth Sunday after PentecostJuly 15, 2018 • 10:00 am
Laura James, Creation, 2018
Welcome to Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church
Whether you are visiting for the first time, or are a longtime member, we are blessed to have you with us.
The cover of this bulletin reads, “This Is God’s House. All Are Welcome.” We take these words seriously.
We strive to be a community as diverse and hospitable as God’s kingdom. We don’t all look or act alike;
God knows we don’t all think alike. We don’t all read the Bible the same way. We bring different questions,
and we carry different burdens. But every Sunday, we worship together as one.
In this grand old church, we do Sunday morning in some pretty traditional (very Presbyterian) ways. We
study the teachings and the actions of Jesus. We sing many of the same hymns our grandparents sang.
Yet, in our preaching and our prayers, we wrestle with the challenges of the modern world. I hope your
heart will hear something personal and relevant this morning—a word of comfort, a spur to action, a call
to a deeper relationship with God.
After the service, please stick around. Take a tour of the church. Have a cup of coffee with us. Introduce
yourself to one of our clergy. There are tons of opportunities here to feed your soul and expand your spirit.
Try one out. You never know—you just might be home!Scott Black Johnston
Senior Pastor
If You Are New HerePlease fill out the Welcome card you will find in your pew. (The ushers can also provide one.) Place the card in the offering plate, hand it to an usher, or drop it off at the Visitors Table (inside the Fifth Avenue entrance). You may also complete the Welcome card online at fapc.org/welcome. The folks at the Visitors Table can provide you with information about our ministries and programs, volunteer opportunities, and the history of this congregation, which has served New York City since 1808. We also invite you on a guided tour of the church, starting from the rear of the Sanctuary shortly after the service.
These May Help During the ServiceIf you would like a large-print bulletin or a hearing-enhancement device, please ask an usher. You may return the hearing-enhancement device to the rear of the Chapel or Sanctuary after the service.
Welcoming ChildrenChildren are always welcome! The ushers can provide a worship bag or children’s Bible to keep your child engaged. If you need to step out to attend to your child, we invite you to use our Family Room, located at the north end of the Gallery, just outside the Sanctuary (check the map on the back of the bulletin for the location). We also provide childcare for infants and toddlers from 9 am until 11:30 am, downstairs in the LaDane Williamson Christian Education Center. Learn more about our Family Ministries at fapc.org/grow.
If You Are in Need of PrayerDeacons (wearing white stoles) are available to pray with you after the service. Your prayers are confidential unless you request they be shared with our Congregational Care staff. You may also complete a prayer request card (available in the pews and at the entrances) and place it in the offering plate or hand to an usher. You may submit prayer requests online at fapc.org/pray.
Help With ParkingWe have a parking arrangement with the garage at 51 W. 56th St. For $16, you may park Monday–Friday from 5 pm –12 am, or anytime until 1 am on Saturday, Sunday and holidays (12 hours maximum). Ask for discount coupons at the 55th Street entrance.

As the Prelude begins, we invite you into a period of quiet reflection as we prepare for worship. Please silence all electronic devices and do not take flash photos during the service.
Prelude Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele (“Adorn Yourself, O Dear Soul”), BWV 654 J.S. Bach (1685–1750)
* Call to Worship from Iona Abbey Worship Book
Deacon Juliana Kleist-Méndez One: God is present in the darkness before dawn, in the waiting and uncertainty,
All: where fear and courage join hands, conflict and caring link arms, and the sun rises over barbed wire.
One: With courage, honesty and humility— together, let us worship God.
* Hymn 65 Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
* Call to Confession The Rev. Werner Ramirez
* Prayer of Confession 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. In your mercy, forgive what we have been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be, so that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name.

AnnouncementsThe Rev. Kate Dunn
Solo The King of Love My Shepherd Is • Charles Gounod (1818–1893)
The King of love my shepherd is,Whose goodness faileth never;I nothing lack if I am hisAnd he is mine forever.
Where streams of living water flow,My ransomed soul he leadethAnd where the verdant pastures grow,With food celestial feedeth.
Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,But yet in love he sought meAnd on his shoulder gently laidAnd home rejoicing brought me.
In death’s dark vale I fear no ill With thee, dear Lord, beside me,Thy rod and staff my comfort still,Thy cross before to guide me.
Thou spredst a table in my sight;Thine unction grace bestoweth;And, oh, what transport of delightFrom thy pure chalice floweth!

And so through all the length of daysThy goodness faileth never.Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praiseWithin thy house forever.

Scripture Lessons
Genesis 1:26-27Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Isaiah 43:19I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Galatians 3:23-28Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, for 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. There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
One: This is the Word of God; for the People of God. All: Thanks be to God.
SermonThe Rev. Dr. Patricia Kitchen
“A Dangerous Drinking Fountain”
* Affirmation of Faith from A Brief Statement of Faith, Presbyterian Church (USA)
We trust in God, whom Jesus called Abba, Father.In sovereign love God created the world good and makes everyone equally in God’s image male and female, of every race and people, to live as one community.But we rebel against God; we hide from our Creator.Ignoring God’s commandments, we violate the image of God in others and ourselves.In a broken and fearful world the Spirit gives us courage to pray without ceasing, to witness among all peoples to Christ as Lord and Savior, to unmask idolatries in Church and culture, to hear the voices of peoples long silenced, and to work with others for justice, freedom and peace. Amen.

Offertory Anthem Die Schöpfung (“The Creation”) Hob. XXI:2: 22. How the Heavens Shine in all their Glory F.J. Haydn (1732–1809)
How the heavens shine in all their glory,now the Earth is splendidly adorned.The air is filled with fluttering plumage,the seas are swollen by the fishy host,the earth’s pressed down by the weight of beasts.But all was not accomplished yet.That being was still lacking from the wholewho could look upon God’s workwith gratitude and praisethe goodness of the Lord.

Worship Notes
Haydn’s oratorio, The Creation, was written between 1797 and 1798, and depicts the creation of the world as described in Genesis. While visiting London, Haydn heard several of Handel’s oratorios and was inspired to compose his own. The overall work is divided into three sections, each depicting segments of the universe’s creation—Part 1 depicts days 1–4, Part 2 depicts days 5 and 6, and Part 3 depicts day 7. The aria presented this morning is from Part 2, the sixth day. The preceding movements convey Genesis 1:24: “And God said: Let earth bring forth the living creature…” This morning’s excerpt is jubilant, reflecting the celebration of recent formation of land and sea animals, along with vegetation for sustenance.
