2 M O R N I N G W O R S H I P 9 : 0 0 / 1 1 : 0 0 A M Prelude Hallelujah to the Lamb Charles Hammell The voice of free grace cries, escape to the mountain, for Adam s lost race Christ has opened a fountain. For sin and transgression and every pollution, His blood flows most freely in streams of salvation. Hallelujah to the Lamb Who has purchased our pardon, We will praise Him again when we pass over Jordan. This fountain so clear in which all may find pardon, from Jesus side flows in plenteous redemption: Though sins were raised as high as a mountain, His blood flows most freely in streams of salvation. When on Zion we stand, having gained the blest shore, our future in hand, we will praise Him evermore; We ll range the fields on banks of the river, and sing hallelujahs forever and ever. Are You Washed in the Blood? arr. Don Whitman Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you washed in the blood, in the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you walking daily by the Savior s side? Do you rest each moment in the Crucified? When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white? Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright, And be washed in the blood of the Lamb? Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin. There s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean. Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb! More Love to Thee arr. Don Whitman More love to Thee, O Christ, more love to Thee! Hear Thou the prayer I make on bended knee. This is my earnest plea, more love, O Christ, to Thee! Once earthly joy I craved, sought peace and rest; now Thee alone I seek; give what is best: This all my prayer shall be, more love, O Christ, to Thee! Then shall my latest breath whisper Thy praise; this be the parting cry my heart shall raise, This still its prayer shall be, more love, O Christ, to Thee! Tenth Men s Choir Call to Worship * Doxology (Trinity Hymnal 731) Old Hundredth Praise God from Whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav nly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. * Confession Almighty God, to know You is the fulfillment of our deepest longings and satisfaction of our most ardent desires. Yet foolishly we have sought our pleasures elsewhere. We have put the seeking of idols, which are bound to leave us feeling empty, above seeking You. We have failed to love You with all our heart, soul and mind. We have failed to love our neighbors as ourselves. Forgive us for our sins and grant that from now on we might serve You in newness of life. We pray these things in the name of Your most precious Son, Jesus Christ. Amen. * The Gospel s Assurance of Pardon * Invocation * Congregation standing

Amen, Amen. * Apostles Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

All is vain unless the Spirit of the Holy One comes down: Brethren, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around. Sisters, will you join and help us? Moses sister aided him; Will you help the trembling mourners who are struggling hard with sin? Tell them all about the Savior tell them that He will be found: Sisters, pray and holy manna will be showered all around. Let us love our God supremely, let us love each other too; Let us love and pray for sinners till our God makes all things new. Then He ll call us home to heaven, at His table we ll sit down; Christ will gird Himself and serve us with sweet manna all around. arr.

T H E S H O R T E R C AT E C H I S M, circa 1647 One of the documents that explains what our church and denomination believe is known as the Shorter Catechism. We are including in the bulletin a series of questions and answers dealing with some of the essential doctrines of our faith. Question 82: Is any man able perfectly to keep the commandments of God? Answer: No mere man since the fall is able in this life perfectly to keep the commandments of God, but doth daily break them in thought, word and deed. P R O J E C T O F T H E M O N T H : C O N G O L E S E R E F U G E E FA M I LY Through Bethany Christian Services, Tenth Church is sponsoring a newly arrived Congolese family of seven Zamda and her six children ages Since their government assistance ends after this month, they will need additional assistance for schooling, rent, and utilities for an extended period of time. Tenth volunteers are helping with clothing, furniture, and rides; but finances will be essential for their sustenance. Cash or checks made payable to Tenth Presbyterian Church, with November Project of the Month on the memo line, may be placed in offering plates or one of the oak boxes at the Sanctuary entrances.

5 E V E N I N G W O R S H I P 6 : 1 5 P M Soli Deo Gloria Prelude Sonata in G minor, BWV 1030b II. Siciliano Sonata in F Major, HWV 363a I. Adagio II. Allegro III. Adagio IV. Bourrée Anglaise V. Menuet Johann Sebastian Bach George Frederick Handel Cassie Pilgrim, oboe Soli Deo Gloria is a motto that has been used since the time of the Protestant Reformation. It is the culminating phrase of five Solas and means Glory to God Alone. Soli Deo Gloria affords musicians (singers and instrumentalists alike) the opportunity to give back to God from the gifts He has given them. At the same time, the music is intended to encourage the congregation and to be a public testimony of our desire at Tenth Church to honor Him with our musical offerings. 6 : 3 0 P M Welcome Call to Worship Invocation * Hymn 94: Hope of the World Vicar * Prayer of Confession (from The Book of Common Prayer) Almighty God, to Whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from Whom no secrets are hidden; we confess that we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts, and have offended against Your holy laws. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of Your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love You, and worthily magnify Your holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen. * The Gospel s Assurance of Pardon Ephesians 1:13 14 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. * Doxology (Trinity Hymnal 733) Lasst Uns Erfreuen (Children ages 4 and 5 may leave to attend their program.)

6 God s Word Read Romans 15:18 24 (page 950) * Hymn 595: Let Your Heart Be Broken Penitence * Offering Prayer Offertory: Anthem of Dedication Warren Martin Whom shall we send? And who will go for us? Here am I, Lord, send me. God is working His purpose out as year succeeds to year; God is working His purpose out and the time is drawing near; nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. What can we do to work God s work, to prosper and increase the brotherhood of all mankind, the reign of the Prince of Peace? What can we do to hasten the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea? March we forth in the strength of God with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world; fight we the fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee; take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from Thee, take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King. Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love; take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee. Take my will, and make it Thine: it shall be no longer mine. Take my heart, it is Thine own: it shall be Thy royal throne. Take my love; my Lord, I pour at Thy feet is treasure store. Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for Thee. O Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end; be Thou forever near me, my Master and my Friend; I shall not fear the battle if Thou art by my side, nor wander from the pathway if Thou wilt be my guide. O Jesus, Thou hast promised to all who follow Thee, that where Thou art in glory there shall Thy servant be; And, Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow, my Master, and my Friend.

7 TENTH PRESS NOVEMBER 13, 2016 Tenth International Fellowship by Enrique Leal, Minister of Internationals Reintroducing TIF TIF stands for Tenth International Fellowship. Many of you may have heard about TIF but probably not all of you know what TIF is about even though it has been a ministry of Tenth for over 60 years. Core Values of TIF TIF s core values are community, outreach, and discipleship (COD). All the activities that TIF does are around these core values. We want to reach out to the internationals that God has brought to our doorstep here in Philadelphia with the good news of salvation. We want to disciple them with the word of God, teaching them to observe all that our Lord Jesus Christ has commanded us. And we want to provide a community of believers for them as they are far away from home. What are some of our activities? We have a multinational worship service meeting on Sundays at 11 AM in Fellowship Hall. At this service we pray in different languages, allowing great interaction between people from many nations. We have an ESL program on Friday nights (in the catacombs) and Sunday morning (at 315 S 17th Street), in which a group of tutors teaches the students English, American culture and the Bible. We have a network of Bible studies meeting in different parts of the city every day of the week. We have ESL Bible studies on the campuses of Temple University and University of Pennsylvania. Throughout the year, we have various events and celebrations that are opportunities for outreach and engagement. How can you get involved at TIF? As you can easily notice, we have a great influx of internationals in America and in Philadelphia in particular. We feel very privileged to have various universities that attract students from all over the world. If you ever felt a desire to participate in missions but never had the opportunity to go overseas, the good news for you is that God has brought the nations to us, and part of the mission of TIF is to provide members of Tenth opportunities to engage in missions right here in Philadelphia reaching out to internationals. All the activities listed above are ways to engage with Internationals. You can partner with us as we do outreach, disciple, and provide community for internationals here at Tenth. You can me at eleal@ tenth.org if you want more information about our activities or if you want to know how to get involved. The story of Yang H Last, I want to share with you the testimony of one of our internationals that today is a Tenth member and serves at TIF as an intern reaching out to internationals in our ESL Temple University Bible study. Yang s story is one of many stories of people who have been impacted by TIF throughout the years of TIF s existence. Many internationals have heard the gospel from people at TIF, leaders and members of Tenth. Some of these internationals are still with us here at Tenth, as is the case of Yang, but many of them are back in their country of origin today, where they bring the gospel with them as the most important event in their lives. This is Yang s story: Yang H came to U.S. as a visiting scholar at the School of Law at Temple University in September With the recommendation of a Tenth member in the law school, in 2011 he began to attend the TIF ESL program and became a follower through that program. Later on, he was baptized at TIF in July Soon after he became a believer, he received a sense of calling from God. However, he went back to China in September 2012 to continue his doctoral program there. At that time, he was attending an international church, Beijing International Christian Fellowship, until December He left that church for a family church to seek clear guidance from God for his calling. After two years of struggling, he confirmed the call from God in 2014 and became a M.Div. student at Westminster Seminary. During all these years, from the time when he became a believer to the time that he came back as a seminarian, TIF kept in close touch with him. Now he serves as an intern in TIF and leads a small group that consists of visiting scholars at Temple University, the place where he was converted and called by God.
