Welcome!
We extend a special welcome to our guests, visitors and all who join us in worship today. Please let us know of your
presence or any prayer requests you have by filling out one of the cards in the pew rack and placing them in the offering
plate. We hope that our church home becomes your church home and the spiritual place where you grow through the
Word of God.

Nursery care for children up to three years old is located on the main floor of the Welcome Center across from the
library. Older children attending the church service are encouraged to borrow a Toddler Tote filled with activities as you enter
the Sanctuary.

Concerning the Sacrament of the Altar
We believe that Jesus offers Himself to us in the Sacrament His true body and blood, for the forgiveness of sins. We also
share the scriptural concern for those who participate in the Lords supper that they recognize what they are receiving
(1 Corinthians 11:27). Therefore, we ask that all who desire to receive the Lords Supper please carefully examine
themselves using the communion information card found in the pew rack.
Communion is celebrated on the 1
st
and 3
rd
Sundays at both services.

For those who desire, we offer gluten-free wafers (please indicate your desire to the Pastor or Elder) and
non-alcoholic wine (located in the inner circle of the individual cup tray).

CONFESSION
P: O God, this morning we behold Your works and we exalt Your name. But we confess that on too many mornings and on
too many days we behold our own works and exalt our own interests, our own names, and ourselves. Lord, it is almost
as though we believe we are great, we are mighty, and worst of all, we can be like You.
C: Lord, we are sorry for our sin. We justly deserve Your present and eternal punishment. For the sake of Your
Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may trust in Your worksnot
ours-and exalt You and Your name to the ends of the earth. Amen.
P: There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High.

God is in the midst of
her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. (Psalm 46:4-5) God has helped us and brings
us gladness through the river of His mercy and grace. In that mercy, He has given His Son, Jesus, to die for you and for
His sake forgives you all your sins. As a called and ordained servant of the Word I therefore forgive you all your sins in
the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
