Should you have any questions regarding the Lord s Supper, please see Understanding Communion in the bulletin. May God s blessings in Christ be with you. Through faith in Christ we are made holy, because his body was offered up for us once for all. We are no longer like the rest of the world in the sight of God. We are no longer what we previously were to him. We are holy, because Christ has won God s pleasure with the perfect obedience of his own life. - Richard Phillips Please turn off or silence all communication devices.

Invocation We seek the Lord s presence among us Doxology We respond in praise 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 of Faith We confess our faith together Nicene Creed We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only- begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. 4
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets; and we believe in one holy *catholic and apostolic church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. *universal Confession of Sin We turn to God for mercy Most merciful God, whose Son Jesus Christ was tempted in every way, yet without sin, we confess before You our own sinfulness; we have hungered after that which does not satisfy; at times we have compromised with evil; at other times we have doubted Your power to protect us. Forgive us for our lack of faith; have mercy on our weakness. Restore us in such trust and love that we may walk in Your ways and delight in doing Your will. We ask in Jesus name, Amen. Silent Confession 5
Assurance of Forgiveness The promise of good news ISAIAH 40:1-2, 31 Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned. They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Pastoral Prayer Tom Crow The Reading of the Word Hebrews 10:1-10 The Preaching of the Word Pastor Darwin Jordan THE OBEDIENCE THAT GIVES YOU A CLEAN CONSCIENCE 7
Communion Prayer of Thanksgiving The Encouragement Pastor: People: Pastor: People: Pastor: People: The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give him thanks and praise. Words of Institution The Confession Pastor: People: Pastor: People: Pastor: Let us proclaim the mystery of faith: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed for us. Therefore, let us keep the feast. The gifts of God for the people of God. Statements for Communion: The body of Christ for you. The blood of Christ for you. You have new life in Christ. You have full forgiveness in Christ. (We do serve wine in the communion trays but you can also find grape juice in the center of the trays.) 8
Understanding Holy Communion For Christ our passover has also been sacrificed for us, therefore, let us celebrate the feast. 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 Because we believe the Table belongs to the Lord, it is vital that you come this morning on His terms: 1. You must be in communion with Jesus Christ by faith and repentance, trusting Him alone for your salvation. 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 2. You must be in communion with your brothers and sisters in Christ. Matthew 5:23-24; Ephesians 4:11-12 3. You must be in communion with the church (any Bible-believing church) as a baptized member in good standing. Matthew 18:15-18; Hebrews 13:17 4. Because we seriously heed Scripture's admonition in 1 Corinthians 11:28-29, We invite children who are ready to make a public profession of saving faith to complete the Communicants Class materials available at the book table, arrange a meeting with the elders, and thus become regular communicants at the Lord s Table. "But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 1 Corinthians 11:28-29 9
Prayers for Those Not Communing For those searching for truth: Lord Jesus, you claim to be the way, the truth and the life. If what you claim is true, please guide me, teach me, and open to me the reality of who you are. Give me the ability to follow you no matter what it might cost me. Give me an understanding for you that is coherent, convincing, and leads to the life that you promise. Amen. For those who desire to profess faith in Christ: Lord Jesus, I admit that I am weaker and more sinful than I ever believed, but through you, I am more loved and accepted than I ever dared hope. I thank you for paying my debt, bearing my punishment on the cross and offering forgiveness and new life. Knowing that you have been raised from the dead and are now representing me at the Father s right hand in heaven, I turn from my sins and receive you as my savior. Amen. A prayer for those struggling against sin: Lord Jesus, give me the ability to see in you the fulfillment of all my needs and desires, and help me to turn from every false source of satisfaction to feed on you, the true and living bread. Enable me to lay aside the sin that clings so closely to me, and run with perseverance the race that you have set before me, looking only to you, the author and perfecter of my faith. Amen. A prayer for covenant children who have not yet made a profession of faith: Lord Jesus, thank you for giving me the opportunity to grow up in a Christian family where I am surrounded by the good news of the gospel. Help me to grow in my understanding of who you are and what you have done for me on the cross. Help me learn what it means for me to turn from my sins and trust in you alone for my salvation. Teach me what it means to follow you as one of your disciples. Amen. 10
Closing Hymn We respond in faith and song How Great Thou Art O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds thy ands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow r throughout the universe displayed. And when I think that God his Son not sparing, Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in, That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee: How great thou art, how great thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee: How great thou art, how great thou art! When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation And heal this world, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration, And there proclaim, my God, how great thou art. Words by Stuart K. Hine, 1949; alt. 11
Sending of the Saints The people of God are sent into the world Whatever you do, in word of deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Christian Education Philosophy of Ministry: v Why do churches or ministries tend to look different and asked yourself Why? v What are the goals of my church? v What is this particular ministry for and why do we do it like that? v On a personal level, if you start a bible study, What should you teach or read and why? v Who should I invite? Everyone needs a philosophy of ministry and everyone has one, whether they know it or not. I will teach you ours - How and Why FWPC thinks about doing ministry in the church, in your neighborhood, and personally. When we get on the same page with how and why we do ministry, the body truly begins to act as one and amazing things begin to happen. Join us for this largely practical class that seeks to put our theology to work. Teacher - Rev. Ryan Moore Lecture Hall Upcoming: Jun 18 Aug 13 We will be taking a 9-week Sunday School break during these weeks. No classes for any age group will be held during this time. We will see you back here for Sunday School starting August 20! 15
