1 Worship Services July 3, :30 and 11 a.m. 6:30 p.m.

2 Welcome To Our Guests, We especially welcome you today! More information about our church is available on our website at firstpresaugusta.org. Spiritual Care If you would like to speak to someone about what it means to know Jesus Christ or you have any spiritual need or question, please use one of the prayer cards in the pew rack to contact one of our pastors. Our church elders are also available to speak with you. An Elder and his wife will be standing next to the pastor following the service to talk or pray with you. Children s Check-in We are committed to the highest level of protection possible for the children placed in our care on Sundays and at all church events. For this reason, we require parents of newborns through fifth grade children to check in their children before they go to the nursery, Sunday School, Catechism, Children s Church or any other children s activity. Kiosks are available in the Welcome Center. The process is quick and easy, and volunteers are available to assist you. Children s Worship We offer a specially designed program for children in pre-k through fourth grade during the morning services. Leaders will escort children from the sanctuary to their classrooms before the hymn of preparation. Parents are welcome to accompany them to observe where to pick them up after the service. Parents of children in pre-k through second grade are asked to pick up their children following Sunday School or the 11 a.m. worship service. Nursery Nurseries are provided for infants and toddlers during the worship services and Sunday School. We provide a Mother/Infant Room (room 109) located in the wing behind the sanctuary and to the left, and the Geneva Room is designated as a Cry Room for parents with fussy children, equipped with live video feed of the worship services. Ushers are available to direct you. Additional Seating Additional seating for morning and evening worship services is available each week in St. Andrew s Hall. Flowers The sanctuary flowers are given today to the glory of God and in honor of Sally Creel Roberts on her birthday by the Kassner Family. Proverbs 31: As stewards of God s resources, we try not to print an excess of bulletins. We invite you to bring this bulletin with you when you return for the evening service.

3 The Morning Services Theme: The Miracles of Jesus (*Ushers may seat worshipers at this time) ( Indicates the congregation standing) The Prelude Concerto for two Violins (Vivace)...J.S. Bach Nick Brucker and Caroline Cain, violin *Welcome and Announcements... Dr. Mike Phillips The Meditation Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing... arr. Craig Courtney Nick Brucker and Caroline Cain, violin Come, thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above; Praise the mount! I m fixed upon it, mount of God s unchanging love. O to grace, how great a debtor daily I m constrained to be; Let that grace now, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander Lord, I feel it prone to leave the God I love; Here s my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above. Words: Robert Robinson Music: Asahel Nettleton arr. Craig Courtney 1989 Beckenhorst Press The Call to Worship...Psalm 103 Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits Who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, Who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle s. The Lord be with you. And with your spirit. Let us worship God! 3

4 * The Hymn of Praise All Praise to God, who Reigns Above... Mit Freuden Zart (Verses 1, 3, 4) Johann J. Schütz, 1675 Bohemian Brethren s Gesangbuch, 1566 The Invocation (Please lift hands) 4

5 The Confession of Faith... The Heidelberg Catechism Q. 21 What is true faith? True faith created in me by the Holy Spirit through the gospel is not only a knowledge and conviction that everything that God reveals in his Word is true, but also a deep-rooted assurance that not only others, but I too, have had my sins forgiven, have been made right with God, and have been granted salvation. These are gifts of sheer grace earned for us by Christ. The Personal Confession of Sin (Please kneel if able to do so) The Corporate Confession of Sin Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you. Save me from bloodguilt, O God, the God who saves me, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. from Psalm 51 5

6 The Assurance of Pardoning Grace... 1 Timothy 1:15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Response It Is Well with My Soul...Ville Du Havre (Sung by all) My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! My sin, not in part but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! It is well, with my soul, It is well, with my soul, It is well, it is well, with my soul. The Pastoral Prayer and The Lord s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen. 6
