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 3
rd 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: Most merciful God,
C: 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 have also, at times, been
hesitant to acknowledge or embrace the trials and
crosses that come with being a disciple. Through deception, we
think it should not be so, and we even might
question your presence and our faith. 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.

Revelation Study Join Pastor Mike this summer for an in-depth
study of The Revelation to John. Many Christians are
intimidated or scared by the book of Revelation, but it is a
beautiful book full of encouragement and hope for God's
persecuted and oppressed people. We will read through the book,
discuss its background, imagery, purpose, and do some
comparisons of the different views of the end times. Join us
during the Bible Study hour this summer and be encouraged by
God's promises in Jesus Christ. (Loomis Center)
