Psalm 24
Sandra Eithun
Bryan Carter
O Lord, open our lips,
and our mouth will proclaim your praise.
It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O
Most High,
to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at
night.
Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the
Rock of our salvation.
Let us come with thanksgiving and extol God with hearts and
voices.

*The
Prayer of the Children
Can you hear the prayer of the children on
bended knee, in the shadow of an unknown
room?
Empty eyes with no more tears to cry,
turning heavenward toward the light.
Crying, “Jesus, help me to see the morning
light of one more day,
but if I should die before I wake, I pray my
soul to take."
+ SHARING THE PEACE
May the Peace of God be with you.
And also with you.
The congregation may greet each other with a sign of reconciliation and peace.
ANTHEM
Singing Your Praises†
Libby Larsen
Please join to sing on cue:
Can you feel the hearts of the children
aching for home, for something of their
very own.
Reaching hands with nothing to hold onto
but hope for a better day.
Crying, “Jesus, help me to feel the love
again in my own land,
but if unknown roads lead away from home,
give me loving arms, away from harm."
Can you hear the voice of the children
softly pleading for silence in their shattered
world?
Angry guns preach a gospel full of hate,
blood of the innocent on their hands.
Crying, “Jesus, help me to feel the sun
again upon my face?
For when darkness clears, I know you're
near, bringing peace again."
Dali čujete sve dječje molitve? (SerboCroation)
Can you hear the prayer of the children?
†
Singing Your Praises was commissioned
from Ms. Larsen for Hennepin’s 125th
anniversary in 2000. The poem is by
Thomas Wright:
Singing Your praises, our many voices
become one. A servant band of caring
people, of mothers, fathers, daughters,
sons; of laughing children, dancing youth,
of guiding parents and teaching elders.
Singing your praises, our many voices
become one. Embracing one, You are the
God of generations past and to come.
+ BENEDICTION
May the blessing of God, the giver of every good and perfect gift;
and of Christ, who summons us to love and service;
and of the Holy Spirit, who inspires imagination, generosity, and love;
be with us all.
Amen.
Bless the Lord.
The Lord's name be praised.
Please be seated.
CHORAL BENEDICTION
The Lord Bless You and Keep You
Peter Christian Lutkin
A servant band of caring people, laughing
children, dancing youth, guiding parents
and teaching elders, glowing campfires,
calling loons.
Ringing bells, shimmer and peal,
Chanting children, straight and tall,
Sturdy pipes, soft lute and strings,
Lifting hands, sweet voices ring.
Singing your praises, our many voices
become one. Embracing one, You are the
God of generations past and to come.
You've made us greater than we alone
could be. Day by day, week by week,
season turning into season, generation to
generations, we magnify your holy name,
that they may know the faithfulness of your
Word, the love of your people, the
graciousness of your work in all the earth.

A Farewell from
Dana Neuhauser:
It is with a mixture of both
sadness and joy that I share
with you the news that I have
accepted a position as
Director of Children, Youth
and Families at Living Spirit
UMC in S. Minneapolis. While
I will dearly miss the children
and families of Hennepin whom I have grown to cherish over the past 5 1/2
years, I am excited for new opportunities and challenges as I help build
new ministries with children, youth and families at Living Spirit. My last
Sunday will be May 31st.
Thank you for the opportunities for professional and spiritual development
that you have provided me during the past five years. I have especially
appreciated the support and encouragement in my journey as a seminarian
and candidate for ordination. I trust that I will remain in Hennepin's prayers,
as Hennepin will remain in mine.
~Dana

Gratitude Campaign Concludes/2015 Budget Set
As we conclude the Gratitude Campaign and finalize the 2015 Budget, we end with
a $21,000 shortfall in anticipated pledges. We forecasted $1,630,000, which was flat
with 2014. The Gratitude Campaign committee, Finance Committee and Clergy believe
we have made our best efforts to reach all pledging households through letters, calls
and appeals to the congregation.
To all who pledged generously, we thank you.
SPR and certain ministry areas made cuts and adjustments to cover the shortfall and
a balanced budget was presented and approved by Ad Council at its May meeting.
Any questions you may have about the Budget and the Gratitude Campaign are
welcome!
