 This service is Sunday, May 17th at 4:00 PM.
+NOTE The "Single Source of Truth" for the service is the actual script, **not this document**. If there is a difference between them, **this document is in error**. It's basically just here to collect and track notes and resources now.
+====Technical Details====
+Bishop Stoneking needs to be wearing the lavalier microphone. Everyone else will have to pass the handheld mic around.
+Misc items:
+  * There is a brass Bible stand that will need to be on the communion table before the service starts. The stand is currently on a table in the Northwest foyer. The Bible it currently holds is gigantic, but looks to be in pretty rough shape.
+  * We need to choose and pre-set a special table for the artifacts.

+After the welcome, Pastor Kelsie moves to the back of the room.
-I put refrain 1 in MuseScore and made some .png files that we //could// add to the powerpoint so the music is on screen while we're singing it. (I do not want to make this a regular thing. It's a lot of work to put these together.)

+====Hymn of Praise: 139 Praise To The Lord, The Almighty====
+  * Verses 1 and 5 with an interlude by Scott and Mary
-(//Pastor Kelsie?//): Dear friends, rejoice that God so moved the hearts of people that this house has been built for praise and prayer. Let us now reconsecrate it for sevice and celebrate its holy use.
+====Scripture: Cynthia====
+(Put the microphone back in the holder)
-(//Barbara?//): This building is not ours but yours, oh God Who Provides. Its strong walls have lasted through 120 years, through many pastors, believers, and families who meet together to praise your holy name. As the storms came, the winds blew and the earth shook, the building stood firm as a witness to your power and strength. We are just the current stewards of this place, and at just the right time, you provided the workers to strengthen and beautify the outside to reflect the spirit within it. Its foundation will always be Jesus Christ, and we will continue the work of reaching outside to the needy world. We re-consecrate not just masonry, but ourselves. //(Note: This is not from the official text.)//
+Matthew 7:24-29
-(Bishop): O eternal God, mighty in power and of incomprehensible majesty, whom the heavens cannot contain, much less the walls of temples made with hands, you have promised your special presence whenever two or three are assembled in your name to offer praise and prayer.
-By the power of your Holy Spirit reconsecrate this house of your worship. Bless us and sanctify what we do here, that this place may be holy for us and a house of prayer for all people.
-(Pastor Kelsie): Guide and empower in this place by the same Spirit
-  * the proclamation of your Word and the celebration of your Sacraments,
-  * the pouring out of prayer and the singing of your praise,
-  * processions of faith and testimonies to your grace,
-  * the joining of people in marriage,
-  * and the celebration of death and resurrection.
-(//Barry?//): Save us from that failure of vision which would confine our worship within these walls, but send us out from here to be your servants in the world, sharing the blessings of Christ with the world He came to redeem.
-(Bishop): Now, O God, sanctify this place, for everything in heaven and on earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the dominion, and you are exalted as head above all.

He was the king with the thorny crown, the light of the world, and king of our lives today.
