The Village Chapel An Enduring Vision of Christian Unity

“It is believed by many that the influence of the Chapel is far reaching and that its message

going out Sunday by Sunday to its world congregation, will have great effect in uniting the

Christian forces of the land into a fellowship and a brotherhood unit until it can be said

again as it was said of old: ‘See how these Christians love one another.’” The Rev’d William B.

Hannon, “The Pinehurst Outlook,” November, 1924.

As The Village Chapel begins its second century of worship and service to God, we are

emboldened by our founding principles of Christian unity and community service, which

were inspired by the words and example of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; through His

death and resurrection; the Great Commission; and His prayer for unity “that we all may

be one.”

Located in the center and present at the inception of a community of religious expression

- and seeking to be in harmony with the fellowship that has been a basic principle in the

Village of Pinehurst - The Village Chapel offers a unique and gracious vision to its members

and the community beyond: The actual reality of a church that is thankful for, dependent

on, and inspired by the saving grace of Jesus Christ; a church that is welcoming, prayerful,

and pre-eminent in the life of our community; and a church that—without regard for

religious divisions within the Body of Christ—will always proclaim in thought, word, and

deed the Good News that we are all united in Jesus Christ!

“This Chapel will always stand for Christian Unity. Anyone who reads the 17th Chapter of

St. John will believe that we are carrying out the desires of Jesus Christ. We believe that

there is a deep blessedness in Christian fellowship. In whatever household of faith you were

born, whatever creed you now profess, you can come to this sanctuary and feel at home in

your Father’s house. Our constant prayers rise to the throne of God for our nation in these

days that call for sacrifice, courage and faith. We cordially invite you to worship with us.”

The Village Chapel’s welcoming statement, 1924.

If you are visiting this morning, we welcome you to The Village Chapel

and hope that you are with us again soon. If you are visiting us via livestream this morning,

we welcome you and hope that you will join us again soon, in person,

or continue to join us via livestream at 9:30 or 11:00 a.m.

I believe in one God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God; begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord, and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets. And I believe one holy catholic and Apostolic Church; I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead; and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Prayers for the Church and People

Invitation to Communion

Prayer of General Confession (People) Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men: we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time, most grievously have committed by thought, word, and deed, against thy divine Majesty, provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings. The remembrance of them is grievous unto us, the burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; for thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ's sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant

4

that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life to the honor and glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Preface (proper prefaces as appointed) Therefore, with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious Name; evermore praising thee, and saying:

Consecration of the Elements

The Lord's Prayer (People)

Prayer of Humble Access (People) We do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord, whose property is always to have mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in Him, and He in us. Amen.

And we humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.

Scripture Readings

Jonah 3:10-4:11 10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened. 1 But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry. 2 He prayed to the Lord, “Isn’t this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. 3 Now, Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.” 4 But the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?” 5 Jonah had gone out and sat down at a place east of the city. There he made himself a shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city. 6 Then the Lord God provided a leafy plant and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the plant. 7 But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the plant so that it withered. 8 When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah’s head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, and said, “It would be better for me to die than to live.” 9 But God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?” “It is,” he said. “And I’m so angry I wish I were dead.” 10 But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. 11 And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left—and also many animals?”

Psalm 145:1-8 1 I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. 2 Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever. 3 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. 4 One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. 5 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—and I will meditate on your wonderful works. 6 They tell of the power of your awesome works—and I will proclaim your great deeds. 7 They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness. 8 The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.

Philippians 1:21-30 21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me. 27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God. 29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him, 30 since you are going through the

8

same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.

Matthew 20:1-16 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. 3 “About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ 5 So they went. “He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. 6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ 7

“‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. “He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’ 8

“When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’ 9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’ 13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’ 16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

Dear Village Chapel family, We welcome you to worship in the Sanctuary. Please understand that no one is expected to be here at any time if you feel, for any reason, that it is better to stay home. Services will continue to be livestreamed at two times on Sunday mornings: 9:30 a.m., and 11:00 a.m. Here is the link to view our services: www.youtube.com/c/Tvcpinehurst1.

The following are some of the procedures implemented for your safety and well-being: • Hand sanitizer stations are placed at the front and back entrances to the church, and the two

entrances to the Administration Building, and at the front entrance to the Care Cottage. • A sanitizing “fogger” is used before and after each service to disinfect the sanctuary. • Greeters will encourage those attending services to observe social distancing. • Masks, although optional, are encouraged. Disposable masks are available for those who need them. • Offering plates will be on pedestals in the narthex and the sacristy to eliminate the passing of the

plates. • Scripture readings will be read by the pastors at all three services. • We will no longer have ushers for the foreseeable future. Instead, greeters will welcome and pass out

the bulletins, which are for single, one-time use. The greeters will collect any discarded bulletins at the end of each service for disposal.

• Youth and children's Sunday School, the nursery, and children's sermon assembly are discontinued for the time being.

• Congregational singing is discontinued for the foreseeable future. Please see the July Herald for more information regarding singing.

These procedures are not meant to be comprehensive – there are additional measures that will be implemented - offered to provide ample assurance of our purpose in minimizing any risk to your health in being here.

The Chapel office is open for regular office hours (8:00 a.m. – 4 p.m.). The following procedures have been implemented to protect the health and well-being of our Chapel staff and members:

• While masks or other face coverings will not be required, visitors to our office will be asked to honor any staff request to wear a mask while in the building, or in different offices. In addition, staff members will honor any request made by visitors to wear a mask when in direct contact.

• Committee chairs may issue directives regarding face coverings for their own meetings at their discretion.

• Disposable masks and hand sanitizer are available to all visitors. While masks are optional, we ask that everyone entering the building utilize the hand sanitizer dispenser.

• Especially during this time, we ask anyone who may feel sick or have a fever to refrain from visiting the church and to handle business via phone or email.

• In the event any office visitor tests positive for COVID-19, we ask that you notify the office if you have visited the church at any time during the 14 days before your positive test so that anyone you may have been in contact with may discern whether a test is needed for themselves. In addition, if you have knowingly been exposed to someone with COVID-19, we ask that you take the necessary precautions before visiting the Chapel.

Blessings in Christ, Pastor John

Angel Tree Sign-up

Thank you for your continued support of The Village Chapel's Angel Tree Program! We couldn't serve all these families without your ongoing generosity.

This year due to the COVID-19 pandemic our community's needs are greater than ever. In Moore County the unemployment rate is going from less than 5% in 2019 to more than 12.6% in May 2020 and still rising.

Due to the continued threat of the virus, some of our procedures will change this year. Please consider donating early by putting "Angel Tree" on the memo line or contacting me now for a family request and I will send you a family in September. This will allow time for online shopping if you are more comfortable with that and it will give us a better idea on the number of families we can adopt. God bless you.
