Our beautiful sanctuary is open to everyone and our celebration of the Lord’s Supper is open to all who’ve been baptized.  Our typical Sunday service starts at 10 am with communion on the first Sunday of every month and on special occasions such as Ash Wednesday.  We welcome children to our worship as well! You can also worship with us via Facebook Livestream at (1) Nottingham Presbyterian Church | Facebook  (You do not have to join Facebook to access this livestream version of worship) or you can watch the video of the worship service at the same site. 

We practice what Jesus teaches –  “Love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength,” and “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”  So we come with hearts and minds ready to receive what God has to offer.  We let ourselves be broken in the grip of God’s grace.  We welcome being remade and renewed in the power of God’s Spirit.  We commit ourselves to following God’s Son.

And in the midst of it all, you’ll find a happy people, a caring congregation, a friendly and prayerful and welcoming church with a genuine heart.

We’re a traditional church with a modern feel, incorporating projection and a conversational approach.  Now, when we say projection, don’t think of it as a bunch of redundant words in a boring powerpoint.  We use images to engage your imagination and open up new ways for God’s Spirit to work in you.  And when we project music, we don’t just throw the words up on the wall.  We carefully (and legally) scan the music itself into the presentation.

Fifth Week of Easter

 

 

Prelude

Welcome

 

Call to Worship (based on Psalm 148)

 

Pastor: Praise the Lord! Praise God from the heavens; praise God in the heights!

Gathered People: Praise God all the angels! Praise God all the saints!

Pastor: All planets and stars, praise God! All creatures, great and small, praise God!

Gathered People: For God spoke and all were, and are, created! People with great power, and people with little power; young and old; people and creatures of all sorts, all can praise God!

All: God’s glory shines in so many different ways! God’s creativity is revealed in the diversity of this world. Praise God, to whom all creation is beloved and precious!

 

*Hymn # 15 All Creatures of Our God and King  – verses 1, 2, 4, and 6

Prayer of Confession  (Unison) 

God of all creation, we confess we do not always appreciate the diversity of your creation.  Too often we develop false hierarchies within your world – honoring some over others. We are slow to appreciate and support different gifts and different perspectives. We use the earth for our own comfort and pleasure, neglecting our impact on the lives of others – human, animals and environment alike. Forgive us, magnificent God! Restore to us an appreciation of your glorious creation! Teach us to honor our place within creation, your creation, a place in which we nurture one another and honor all which is yours. In Christ’s name we pray. (time for personal confessions in silence)

Assurance of Pardon (based on Rev. 21:3-7)

Pastor: God’s promise is this: the home of God is among mortals; God will dwell with them; and they will be God’s peoples, and God, God’s very Self, will be with them. God will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.

Gathered People: And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See, I am making all things new. …I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty, I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life. Those who conquer will inherit these things, and I will be their God and they will be my children.”

All: In Jesus Christ sins are forgiven and we made new. Thanks be to God!

*Gloria Patri

 Bible readings come from the New Revised Standard Updated Version of the Bible

 

Old Testament Readings: Psalm 24: 1-6; Leviticus 19:2, 9-18

 

1 The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it,

    the world, and those who live in it,

2 for God has founded it on the seas

    and established it on the rivers.

 

3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?

    And who shall stand in God’s holy place?

4 Those who have clean hands and pure hearts,

    who do not lift up their souls to what is false

    and do not swear deceitfully.

5 They will receive blessing from the Lord

    and vindication from the God of their salvation.

6 Such is the company of those who seek him,

    who seek the face of the God of Jacob.

 

Leviticus:

2 “Speak to all the congregation of the Israelites and say to them: You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.

 

9 “When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. 10 You shall not strip your vineyard bare or gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the alien: I am the Lord your God.

 

11 “You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; and you shall not lie to one another. 12 And you shall not swear falsely by my name, profaning the name of your God: I am the Lord.

 

13 “You shall not defraud your neighbor; you shall not steal; and you shall not keep for yourself the wages of a laborer until morning. 14 You shall not revile the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind; you shall fear your God: I am the Lord.

 

15 “You shall not render an unjust judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great: with justice you shall judge your neighbor. 16 You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand idly by when the blood of your neighbor is at stake: I am the Lord.

 

17 “You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin; you shall reprove your neighbor, or you will incur guilt yourself. 18 You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.

 

Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.

Gathered People: Thanks be to God!

 

Children’s Moment

 

New Testament Readings: John 13:31-35;  1 John 3:16-24

 

31 When [Judas] had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. 32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. 33 Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ 34 I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

 

1 John:

16 We know love by this, that Christ laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers and sisters. 17 How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?

 

18 Little children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth. 19 And by this we will know that we are from the truth and will reassure our hearts before him 20 whenever our hearts condemn us, for God is greater than our hearts, and God knows everything. 21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness before God, 22 and we receive from God whatever we ask, because we obey God’s commandments and do what pleases God.

 

23 And this is God’s commandment, that we should believe in the name of God’s Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as God has commanded us. 24 All who obey God’s commandments abide in God, and God abides in them. And by this we know that God abides in us, by the Spirit God has given us.

 

Pastor:  This is the Word of the Lord.

Gathered People: Thanks be to God!

 

Sermon:   Celebrating God!

 

*Hymn # 301  Let Us Build A House (All are Welcome)

Affirmation of Faith – (from the Brief Statement of Faith) Unison

 

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, accept lies as truth, exploit neighbor and nature, and threaten death to the planet entrusted to our care. We deserve God’s condemnation. Yet God acts with justice and mercy to redeem creation. In everlasting love, the God of Abraham and Sarah chose a covenant people to bless all families of the earth. Hearing their cry, God delivered the children of Israel from the house of bondage. Loving us still, God makes us heirs with Christ of the covenant. Like a mother who will not forsake her nursing child, like a father who runs to welcome the prodigal home, God is faithful still.

Prayers of the People

The Lord’s Prayer

   Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.

   Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

   Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not

   into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the

   glory forever. Amen.

 

 

*Hymn # 305  Come Sing, O Church, in Joy!

Postlude

This service can also be found on our website (nottinghampc.org) and on our Facebook page (Facebook.com/nottinghampc).  Our CCLI license is: 3259522; our streaming license is: 20580343. One License reprint and podcast/stream license A-736486.)

Chancel Choir

The Chancel Choir sings during worship at the discretion of the Worship Team.  Although small in number, they raise their voices like the angels must be singing in heaven.  NPC is truly blessed for this dedicated group!

Our choir typically takes a break for the summer with a new rehearsal schedule  posted in August.  We sing mainly traditional choir music, including an occasional cantata.  We also participate in the annual Community Thanksgiving Service. 

All those interested are encouraged to join us for practice – no experience needed!  We’re always happy to welcome new members of any age! 

Cariollon

The sound of beautiful music and tolling bells from our Schulmerich Generation 4 Novabell Carillon can be heard around the neighborhood at preset times throughout the day all year round.  The mellow sound of Flemish tuned bronze bells with the gentle harp bells for accompaniment provide us with over 400 hymns from which to select including holiday specific hymns. 

Santuary Organ

Our santuary Baldwin organ was purchased in 1950 through generous donations from the congregation.  Although it is over 65 years old, it still has a melodic quality that can’t be put into words.  Hearing is believing.

Bell Tower

During the years 1954-1958, a Bell Tower was built and its historic bell was installed.  Our bell was cast in England in 1849 and was shipped and installed in America at the First Presbyterian Church located in the Richmond area of Philadelphia.  Several members of the congregation made a trip to Philadelphia and brought the bell to our church where it has hung ever since.  The peeling of the bell can be heard as we celebrate worship on Sundays and at other times of the year.

The Reformed tradition understands Baptism and the Lord’s Supper to be Sacraments, instituted by God and commended by Christ. Sacraments are signs of the real presence and power of Christ in the church, symbols of God’s action. Through the Sacraments, God seals believers in redemption, renews their identity as the people of God, and marks them for service. (Directory for Worship, W-1.3033)

Baptism

Christian baptism is one of two ordinances that Jesus instituted for the church. Just before His ascension, Jesus said, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19–20). These instructions specify that the church is responsible to teach Jesus’ word, make disciples, and baptize those disciples. These things are to be done everywhere (“all nations”) until “the very end of the age.” So, if for no other reason, baptism has importance because Jesus commanded it.

Unlike some denominations, Presbyterians do not require a person to be entirely immersed in water during baptism. Baptism is received only once whether during infancy or upon adult profession of faith. Its effect is not tied to the moment when it is administered, for it signifies the beginning of life in Christ, not its completion. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) believes that persons of other denominations are part of one body of Christian believers; therefore, it recognizes and accepts baptisms by other Christian churches.

In addition, we reaffirm our baptism on the Sunday celebrating the Baptism of our Lord.

Please contact the church office to schedule a baptism or speak directly with the pastor.

Communion

Communion is the second of the two sacraments of the church, instituted by God and commended by Christ. We follow the tradition of the early church when we affirm three primal material elements of life–water, bread and wine–as the primary symbols of offering life to God. Being washed with the water of baptism, we receive new life in Christ. In eating the bread and drinking the cup offered by God, our memory of the promises are made present by the Holy Spirit.

All those who have been baptized in the Christian faith are welcome to take communion. The sacrament is an opportunity to renew the vows taken at Baptism and our commitment to love and serve God, one another, and our neighbors in the world.

Communion is offered the first Sunday of each month and on other special occasions such as Ash Wednesday.   We leave it up to the individual parents to decide if they wish for their baptised child to participate.

Sermon: Celebrating God!

Scriptures: Psalm 24:1-6; Leviticus 19:2, 9-18; John 13:31-35; 1 John 3:16-24

Preached: May 18, 2025 at Nottingham Presbyterian Church by Rev. Merritt N. Schatz

 

         What brings you joy? A beautiful sunrise or sunset? The smile on a child’s face? Flowers blooming in spring? These, and many other sights, often bring us joy. It is easy to see God at work in them!

How about a clean toilet? A recent commercial claims to have used brain scans to measure the pleasure a person gets from certain activities. Surprise! According to the cleaning product commercial cleaning activities provide more pleasure than self-care such as a massage or reading. Maybe they are confusing pleasure with satisfaction.

         A similar confusion might be found in what brings us joy. Some things, like sunsets and birds singing, might fill our hearts with joy. Other activities, like trouncing an opponent in a game or seeking revenge, might feel like joy, but are more likely temporary solutions for healing hurts we may have felt, justified or not. This emotion might better be classified as glee rather than joy. It may be an understandable reaction but is not the same as joy. Disasters, like the tornadoes this week in Missouri and Kentucky, or illnesses in children, or even daily disappointments can make it harder to feel joy or to see God at work.

Joy, especially the joy we receive from God, which we share with God, and which we offer to God is usually associated with positive relationships and interactions Joy such as this is meant to be shared and encouraged. However, joy, the sense of being one with a gracious and loving God can also be found in difficult times.

God encourages joy in so many ways. Through God’s instructions to care for one another, we see how joy can grow. Through God’s abundant love calling us to reconcile with God and one another, we found joy in God’s presence, even when circumstances are not always what we hope for or desire. Through God’s care and consolation exhibited by helpers in times of trouble, we know God’s presence, God’s comforting embrace.

Two hundred and fourteen years ago, this congregation was chartered under the name of Upper West Nottingham Presbyterian Church. Since that time the congregation has experienced multiple changes – within the denomination and the country. Think about it – since its incorporation, there have been a Civil War, two World Wars, the Korean Conflict, and Vietnam War and numerous other conflicts. Women could not vote at that time, let alone become pastors of Presbyterian Churches! There have been denominational theological challenges – even before the incorporation of this congregation which affected its beginnings! And there have been physical challenges – a new roof, the lower level being dug out by hand, and problems with mold. Even the name has changed -to Nottingham Presbyterian Church, with its nickname, The Greenstone! The congregation was small at its beginning, grew in the 1950’s to over two hundred members– like many Presbyterian congregations at the time – and has fluctuated, again like many congregations, due to changing times and populations. There have been many joys and sorrows. Faithful servants of Christ through the generations have maintained the witness to Christ in this community. Whether with full pews or less full pews, the witness to Christ and to God’s constant presence continues!

         Throughout this history this congregation has been served by many pastors. The early pastors stayed for longer stretches. Most recent pastors have been here for four to eight years. Change has been a constant! Ruling Elders and other members have provided stability and institutional memory, while allowing flexibility and growth based on the foundation of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Through all this history God is at work – in the lives of individuals and of this congregation. Most especially, God is at work in love, the love for community commanded in the book of Leviticus; the healing love exhibited by Jesus Christ in all his teachings and by his very life, death and resurrection; and love as commanded in the letter of 1 John – among the many other places in the Scriptures where this love, the love of and for God, is shown to be the heart of our faith. Love brings true joy in good times and difficult times!

         From the beginning of this congregation and of all creation, God has created in love, and creates us for love. As the passage in Leviticus reminds us, we called to be holy. Holiness is not the cold, sterile attribute which is sometimes the image we have. Holiness, as God declares, is being in right relationship with God, not out of duress, but in God’s holy, merciful and just love which brings joy! The Leviticus passage, the second version of the ten commandments, details how our love is to be shown toward God, toward one another, and toward all creation. Each of these detailed descriptions of what love means is followed by the reminder, “I am the Lord your God.” This is not a threat, but a promise. God who has created all that is, who provides us with food, water, and all needed for shelter, has abundantly provided for all peoples. God is not stingy. God is not about showing who is boss. God is who God is – generous, merciful, self-giving. All of God’s commandments – sharing what we have; not taking more than is ours; being honest with one another; honoring God by not misusing God’s name or promise; being just with one another and even with aliens and strangers, all these are intended to bring joy to all. In being open to the needs and gifts of others, we open ourselves to experiencing God who is present in good times and in difficult ones. We have seen this in the history of this congregation. We are called to trust this truth, as we move into the future. Moving into an unknown future, in uncertain times can be difficult. Knowing our past can help us trust God in the present and the future.

         Some of you have heard my story of my time in seminary. Just going to seminary was not the easiest decision for me. I fought it, trying various occupations hoping to satisfy the call I heard from God. Once in seminary, I had a sense of peace, even though the introspection of seminary was anything but easy. Still, I felt I had learned my lesson about following God’s direction. When it came time for our summer internship, I prayed, “Dear God, I will go wherever, but please not Mississippi or Alabama.” I felt these places were not going to be the most receptive for female interns. I was asking, not telling, but God laughed. I spent my first summer in Mississippi. I spent my second summer in Alabama. Both were rewarding and affirming experiences. When it came time for me to graduate, I self-righteously prayed, “anywhere in the U.S.” My first ordained call was a two-year call to Edinburgh, Scotland. When it was time for me to leave Scotland, I prayed, “anywhere in the world, and if there is a chapel on the moon, I’m in trouble!” Apparently there wasn’t, for my next calls were to Kansas, Washington, D.C., Maryland and finally here. I am grateful for each one. Yet only once have I left a church knowing where my next call would be. Each time God was whispering, “Trust me and I will lead you in love.” I am a slow learner, but God is still at work, patiently reminding all of us of God’s abiding presence and love.

         Now, as I begin retirement and you begin the search for your next pastor, we are all commended to God’s care, God’s constant presence, and God’s loving direction. We celebrate God who is trustworthy, merciful, and full of abundant life! We celebrate God who knows each of us by name, who shines light and hope in the midst of all the world’s troubles and who still notices our own personal needs. We celebrate God who does not walk away but embraces the pains, the disappointments, the injustices of personal actions and communal sin, so these might be healed and life renewed in all places. We celebrate God who will not allow sin to separate us, or anyone else, from the love of Jesus Christ who reveals the great depth and height of God’s love for all creation. We rejoice in the guidance God gives for our lives together, even when we sometimes question the wisdom of God’s direction. We are called to remember God knows more than we do! We celebrate God who calls us again and again into fellowship with God and with one another.  

         We celebrate and find joy in the ministry and fellowship we have shared for the past seven and a half years! And we celebrate the future into which we walk assured and upheld by God’s constant presence and love, however that future unfolds!  

         Let us always walk humbly in the love and grace of Jesus Christ who reveals God’s justice, mercy and joy for all creation. And we will rejoice! Amen.

Worship

It’s what we do.  It’s the center of our life together.  It’s how we connect with God to find love, mercy, and purpose for our lives.  It’s more than a song, a prayer, some scripture, and a sermon.  It’s the one place where God meets us all to change our hearts, transform our minds, strengthen our bodies, and save our souls through His grace.
