To Our Guests,We especially welcome you today! More information about our church is available on our website at firstpresaugusta.org.
Spiritual CareIf 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-inWe 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 outside of St. Andrew’s Hall. The process is quick and easy, and volunteers are available to assist you.
Children’s WorshipWe 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.
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.

The Psalter Lesson .....................................................................................................Psalm 1page 843 in the pew Bible
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
The Response—Doxology ...............................................................Old Hundredth

†The Pastoral Prayer and The Lord’s PrayerOur 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.
The Assurance of Pardoning Grace .........................................................1 John 1:8-9 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Gracious Father, it is your will that your people should be one in Christ and reflect the eternal unity that exists in the Trinity. Yet we have selfishly chosen the way of division and dissension. Give us your enabling grace to repent of our pride and disobedience and to submit to your revealed will. We have built up walls of hostility fashioned with hatred and prejudice. Free us from the idolatry in our hearts that hinders us from godly union and peace. Save us from considering as normal that which is a scandal to the world and an offense to your love. Pour out your Spirit on us that we may worship you with one heart and one mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Corporate Confession of Sin
† Indicates the congregation standing. § Please kneel if able to do so.
§The Personal Confession of Sin
Q. 87. What is repentance unto life?
A. Repentance leading to life is a saving grace, by which a sinner having truly realized his sin and grasped the mercy of God in Christ, turns from his sin with grief and hatred and turns to God with full resolve and effort after new obedience.
†The Confession of Faith .....................................The Westminster Shorter Catechism

Walk, walk by faith! By faith, Noah built an ark in the midst of doubt and fear;By faith, he waited patiently till the plan of God was clear.By faith, David slew Goliath with a mighty blow;By faith, Moses spoke for God, saying “Let my people go!”He walked by faith!
By faith, Esther told the king Haman was an evil man;By faith, the Israelites were saved, according to God’s plan.By faith, Deborah told Barak that peace would be restored;By faith, Hannah prayed to God and a son was her reward!She walked by faith!
By faith, Jesus came to earth, in lowly human frame;By faith, he obeyed the plan that God in heaven made.By faith, we will walk each day, his spirit by our side;By faith, we will find our way, by faith and not by sight!We’ll walk by faith!

Offertory—Christ, the Sure and Steady Anchor .............................. Boswell and Papa
Words and Music by Matt Boswell and Matt Papa. | © 2015 Doxology and Theology Publishing | Love Your Enemies Publishing
Christ, the sure and steady anchor in the fury of the storm; When the winds of doubt blow through me and my sails have all been torn. In the suff ’ring, in the sorrow, when my sinking hopes are few, I will hold fast to the anchor, it shall never be removed.
Christ, the sure and steady anchor while the tempest rages on. When temptation claims the battle and it seems the night has won, deeper still then goes the anchor, though I justly stand accused. I will hold fast to the anchor, it shall never be removed.
Christ, the sure and steady anchor through the floods of unbelief. Hopeless somehow, O my soul, now, lift your eyes to Calvary. This my ballast of assurance, see his love forever proved. I will hold fast to the anchor, it shall never be removed.
Christ, the sure and steady anchor as we face the wave of death. When these trials give way to glory, as we draw our final breath, we will cross that great horizon, clouds behind and life secure. And the calm will be the better, for the storms that we endure.
Christ, the sure of our salvation, ever faithful, ever true. We will hold fast to the anchor, it shall never be removed.
