Amen. * Confession (from The Book of Common Prayer) Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from Your ways like lost sheep.

(John 14:15-18) ` Tenth Church Choir Question of Preparation (from the Heidelberg Catechism; congregation reads answer in unison) Question #60: How are you right with God? Answer: Only by true faith in Jesus Christ. Even though my conscience accuses me of having grievously sinned against all God s commandments and of never having kept any of them, and even though I am still inclined toward all evil, nevertheless, without my deserving it at all, out of sheer grace, God grants and credits to me the perfect satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness of Christ, as if I had been as perfectly obedient as Christ was obedient for me. All I need to do is to accept the gift of God with a believing heart.

Our partners are doing amazing things in the power of the Spirit through your prayers. They are involved in church planting, Bible translation, evangelism to unreached people, theological education, medical ministry, and media. Cash or checks made payable to Tenth Presbyterian Church, with January Project of the Month on the memo line, may be placed in offering plates or one of the oak boxes at the Sanctuary entrances. THE SHORTER CATECHISM, 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 25: How doth Christ execute the office of a priest? Answer: Christ executeth the office of a priest, in his once offering up of himself a sacrifice to satisfy divine justice, and reconcile us to God; and in making continual intercession for us. * Congregation standing
