Welcome and Concerns of the Church
Rev. Hamilton Throckmorton
As we gather for worship this morning, please pray for those seated around you and those far
away. Then take a few minutes after the service to introduce yourself to someone you don’t
yet know — take special note of those with the red visitor’s nametags — with an invitation
to join you for coffee after the service. Thank you for helping to personalize our Church
Family by wearing a nametag.

God did not call us to succeed,
God called us to serve.
God did not call us to win,
God called us to work.
God did not call us to live long,
God called us to live for God.
God did not call us to fame,
God called us to faith.
God did not call us to seek power,
God called us to seek peace.
God did not call us to loot the earth and each other,
God called us to love our earth and each other.

To sense you in all I hear today.

Worshipers will come to the front of the Sanctuary, using the side aisles, to receive the Sacrament. You may dip the Bread into the Cup upon receiving it, partake immediately and return to
your seat by the center aisle. Ushers will serve those who wish to remain in their pews. If you
would like your child to receive a blessing rather than the communion elements, please tell the
server, or the child may approach the server with arms folded in front of them. Please pray for
other worshipers as they come to commune. Please note that the wrapped bread on each communion plate is gluten-free for those who need it or would prefer it.

Communion in our Church is open to all who seek to walk the Way of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
You need not be a member to share. Freely receive at this Table the mercy you can never
achieve.
Invitation to Communion (responsive)
Leader: Brothers and Sisters in Christ, we invite you now to come to the table of transformation. God accepts us as we are, but loves us too much to leave us that
way. And so God works inside of us, using the circumstances of our daily lives
to bring forth a gradually dawning new creation in each one of us. This Bread
and Cup represent for us God’s presence in Christ, which we willingly take in, so
that Christ might work in us this great work of transformation.
People: We come willingly and joyfully, leaving behind our lifeless props and stays,
and seeking instead the quickening, empowering Spirit of Christ. May that
Spirit take hold in us anew this day, that we might be Christ’s Body on
earth.

Welcome Visitors!
Federated strives to be a warm and welcoming place but as an active, growing
Church with multiple worship services we would request your help identifying the new folks among
us. We invite visitors and newcomers to use one of the special red visitor nametags that can be found in
the Ministry of Hospitality booklet at the end of each pew. Let us know who you are so we can help you
learn who we are, and join us downstairs in Fellowship Hall after the service for some more leisurely conversation. We really do look forward to meeting you!

The Federated Church Welcomes You!

spiritual journey. With Christ, we offer hope
and healing to change our world.”

Help fill the WREN bus! Because the need
is so great – running as an ongoing project of the
WREN (Women’s Re-Entry Network) Committee is
an RTA Bus Ticket campaign. Transportation can
be a major problem for the majority of WREN participants. These women have to rely totally on public
transportation. Your donation can buy either a oneway or an all-day fare. These are small amounts and
will help a lot! Please look for our WREN bus in the
Lobby. There you can “buy a bus ticket” to help
these women in need. Let’s fill the bus!
Help Sponsor the work of the Cleveland BoyChoir: An annual event known as
Crescendo 2008 will take place on Thursday,
May 8, from 6:00-10:00 p.m., at the North Club in
Cleveland Browns Stadium. All proceeds will
benefit the Cleveland BoyChoir, whose goal it is to
“challenge inner-city boys to reach their full potential by providing life-changing opportunities
through music.” If you would like to help sponsor
or would like ticket information, please call Ken
Horner at 216-401-0872 or the CBC directly at
440-356-3936. We hope you'll consider being a
sponsor of this compelling organization with such a
rich history at Federated Church. Thank you!
If you have any further questions, please call Sue
Giles at 440-543-6552, Randi Zubin at 440-543-7954

Woven Talents Mission Market coming soon! After the huge success of the Parable
of the Talents experience last fall, we have created a
year-round interfaith opportunity for anyone to use
his/her gifts in service to God and the world. Woven
Talents will sell goods and services, with profits
going to charitable causes. Participants have the
option to get back their invested cost after the sale
of the goods or service. We are currently collecting
items and if you wish to participate at this time,
please call Kate Schlagbaum at 440-223-2013 or
you can e-mail her at [email protected].

Women at the Well — May 21 In Lent,
we studied some of the church’s traditional Spiritual Disciplines. At Women at the Well in May, we
will look at some “Non-traditional Spiritual Practices” as taught by the early transcendentalists of
Concord, Mass. in the 1800’s. Tired of their
church’s “overly intellectual approach,” these poets
and ministers sought to rediscover joy and vitality
in their everyday spirituality. Their “spiritual disciplines” included such practices as walking, travel,
meaningful conversation, journaling and wide ranging reading. Come and hear some of their vibrant
quotes, and talk with others about what daily practices enliven your Spirit.

A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
You may have read Eckhart Tolle’s book, The
Power of Now, or heard about his recent worldwide web class with Oprah Winfrey, which linked
750,000 people from over 150 countries. In A New
Earth, Tolle looks at how transcending our egobased state of consciousness is the key to both personal peace and any hope for peace in the world.
For more information or to sign up for the group in
advance, call 440-247-6490 and indicate which
session you’d prefer: Wednesday afternoons
from 1:30-3:00 or Tuesday evenings from 7:008:30. (Note change of day for evening group.)

The Interfaith Hospitality Network
We open the doors to our Family Life Center at
5:00 p.m. today to welcome our IHN guests. Our
mission is to provide a temporary, safe, loving, supportive place for homeless families and
single women during their time of crisis.
We are able to do this because of the generosity of our Federated Church Family.
You continually open your hearts, hands
and minds to these families and single women that
God places in our care every host week, and they
feel God’s love through each of you. Please continue to pray for our guests and volunteers throughout the week. If you have not signed up to help but
would still like to contribute in some way, please
contact one of the IHN coordinators. We will be
hosting for two consecutive weeks, July 27
through August 10; please mark your calendars!
Thank you for giving, volunteering and praying. —
