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 1st and 3rd 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 rose colored cups in the center of the individual cup tray).

CONFESSION OF SINS

P:
C:

Most merciful God,

We confess that we are by nature sinful and unclean. We have sinned against you in thought, word,
and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved You with our
whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. 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 delight in Your will and walk in Your ways to the glory of Your Holy
name. Amen.

Adults:
Breath of Life - An Exegetical Study of the Holy Spirit Come explore the Scriptures with us as we let the Word of God
lead us to discover the wonders, depth, and power of the Spirit of God. More than just a study of doctrines about the Holy
Spirit, this is a study of the Word that will reveal the teachings we believe about the Spirit in a relevant, enlightening, and
connected way. From the beginning, Gods Spirit breathed life into creation; and we pray in this study that the same Spirit
will breath anew into our lives as we learn who he is, what he does, and the purposes for which God has sent his Helper to us.
(Loomis Center)
The Grace and Truth Paradox Our world today needs grace. But our world also needs truth. This study written by
Randy Alcorn will help reveal the meanings of grace and truth in Gods Word and will illustrate the way Jesus balanced these
qualities as He related to people. This class is led by Alan Bishop, Pat Croll, and Nelson Scroggins.
(Welcome Center 2nd floor)
