PROCLAMATION OF THE WORD
*GOSPEL LESSON
How Does “The Well” Impact WIHN?
Mark 3:20-35
...and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat.
When his family heard it, they went out to restrain him, for people were
saying, “He has gone out of his mind.” And the scribes who came down
from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul, and by the ruler of the demons he
casts out demons.” And he called them to him, and spoke to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself,
that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that
house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself
and is divided, he cannot stand, but his end has come. But no one can enter
a strong man’s house and plunder his property without first tying up the
strong man; then indeed the house can be plundered.
“Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven for their sins and whatever
blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can
never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— for they had said,
“He has an unclean spirit.”
Then his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside, they sent
to him and called him. A crowd was sitting around him; and they said to
him, “Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, asking for
you.” And he replied, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” And looking
at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”

“The People Around Jesus”
Jesus’ ministry encounters both open hostility and lack
of understanding. But with these signs of opposition,
there’s also the group of people gathered around Jesus,
the ones he calls his real family. It is not primarily the
content of Jesus’ teaching but simply the fact that Jesus
is there that forms this community that would come to
be the church.

*GREETING
Jesus said, “If a kingdom is divided against itself,
that kingdom cannot stand.”
Almighty God,
we call upon you to teach us to stand together,
give us one heart and mind.
Jesus said, “No one can enter a strong man’s house
and plunder his property without first tying up the strong man.”
Almighty God,
we call upon you to bind Satan’s influence
and to retrieve all that he has stolen from us.
Jesus said, “Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit
can never have forgiveness.”
Almighty God,
we call upon you to open our eyes and ears
so that we can recognize your Spirit working among us.
Jesus said, “Whoever does the will of God
is my brother and sister and mother.”
Almighty God,
we call upon you to reveal your will,
so that we can worship you with our obedience.
Some say that Jesus has lost his mind,
but we believe that Jesus reveals the mind of God.
In Jesus Christ, God has answered all our prayers.
Almighty God,
our hearts overflow with thanksgiving,
and our worship is our humble offering to you.

UMW Matters
Thank you, congregation - for supporting our UMW freezer sale! Your support has helped UMW fulfill our 2015
pledge to The Well of $5000. UMW
has pledged $5000/yr for 5 years, a total
of $25,000, which was matched by a
member of HB during that “matching
gift” window of opportunity. For UMW
and our HB family to work together to
contribute $50,000 to The Well is humbling and JOYful. A special thank you
to the 13 UMW Circles who baked,
chopped and cooked for the sale.

2015 Mission Projects for VBS include collecting food donations for
local organization Urban Ministries
and collecting money for earthquake
relief in Nepal. Accessing rural villages in Nepal affected by the massive April 25 earthquake remains a
significant challenge, say United
Methodist missionaries there. As the
earthquake’s death toll climbs past
7,000, the United Methodist Committee on Relief and other faith-based
partners in the ACT Alliance are continuing to respond. Some 8 million
people are affected and 3.5 million
are in need of food assistance. If you
are participating in VBS, please be
sure to contribute to this worthy and
timely cause.
New Policy for Sanctuary
The Board of Trustees approved the
following policy in anticipation of
having the adult SS meeting in the
sanctuary until The Well is complete:
To ensure a smooth transition into
the worship service and to protect the
beauty of that space for years to
come, the Board has adopted a policy that would not allow the consumption of food and drinks in the
sanctuary with the exception of the
communion elements and of water
for speakers and choir singers.
If you have concerns, contact Lee
Ragsdale at [email protected].

*OPENING PRAYER
Holy God, Jesus was never divided,
but we seem to be constantly divided
with ourselves, with each other and with you.
We want to do your will, but we spoil our obedience
by chasing after our own selfish whims.
Cast out our unclean spirits,
and pull us together with your Holy Spirit,
so we may be recognized as members of your holy family,
and brothers and sisters to Jesus Christ, our Savior.
Amen.

Get Your VBS CD EARLY: Starts TODAY
Wouldn’t you love for your child to have their VBS Music CD early? We would!
Vacation Bible School runs from June 22 - 26, but we think it would be great if your
child had their music CD early and could already begin learning the songs! Your
child’s CD will be available for early pick-up at the Reception Desk in the front
lobby on the following Sundays (TODAY, June 14th, & June 21st) from 9:30 11:00 am and 12:00 - 12:30 pm. Please look for Meredith Clayton. Limit: 1 CD
per family. Thanks, and we look forward to making great music with you soon!

The Connection at 9:55 Starts TODAY
Here’s the basic pattern we will follow beginning today for Adult SS. We may rearrange the model at times. The overarching theme will be “Preparing for Life at the
Well.” Every Sunday will address some aspect of Christian discipleship that grows
us more deeply into our mission. A time for announcements and a short musical
offering will open our time together each Sunday in the Sanctuary.

PASTOR: These youth and adults from our church will represent Jesus Christ and the
congregation of Hayes Barton on their mission trip. Scripture tells us that Jesus sent out
groups of followers to spread the gospel and to serve others in his name. His disciples
took Jesus’ call seriously and went out into the world. We believe that this group is responding to a similar call. Missioners, will you join God in God’s work in Costa Rica.
