To Our Guests,We especially welcome you today! More information about our church is available on ourwebsite at firstpresaugusta.org. You can also visit our welcome desk in the Welcome Center,located directly behind the sanctuary
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 ourcare on Sundays and at all church events. For this reason, we require parents of newbornsthrough fifth grade children to check in their children before they go to the nursery, SundaySchool, Catechism, Children’s Church or any other children’s activity. Kiosks are available inthe Narthex and in the Children’s Lobby. The process is quick and easy, and volunteers areavailable to assist you.
Children’s WorshipWe offer a specially designed program for children in pre-K through fourth grade during themorning services. Leaders will escort children from the sanctuary to their classrooms duringthe hymn of preparation. Parents are welcome to accompany them to observe where to pickthem up after the service. Children in pre-K through second grade remain in their classroomsuntil they are picked up by a parent.
Nursery Nurseries are provided for infants and toddlers during the worship services and SundaySchool. We provide a Mother/Infant Room (room 160) located in the Ebenezer Buildingbehind the sanctuary, and the Geneva Room is designated as a cry room for parents withfussy children. Both rooms are equipped with live video feed of the worship services. Ushersare available to direct you.
Additional Seating Please see ushers for additional overflow seating.
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 Prelude—It Is Well .........................................................................arr. John Kraus
†The Call to Worship ................................................................... from Lamentations 3Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him.
The Lord be with you.And with your spirit.Let us worship God!
Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven; to his feet thy tribute bring.Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven; evermore his praises sing:Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the everlasting King!
Angels in the height adore him! Ye behold him face to face;Saints triumphant bow before him! Gathered in from every race.Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace. Amen!

†The Confession of Faith ............................................................... The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended into hell.* The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic** church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

His love endures forever.with a mighty hand and outstretched arm;His love endures forever.to him who divided the Red Sea asunderHis love endures forever.and brought Israel through the midst of it,His love endures forever.but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea;His love endures forever.

†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 ..................................................... Proverbs 28:13Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper,but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
Behold, the Lord’s hand is not so short, that it cannot save,or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;but our iniquities have separated us from Godand our sins have hidden his face from usso that he does not hear.Our mouths are filled with anger,our lips are quick to speak lies,our eyes are filled with illicit and unnecessary desires.Our feet are swift to run to eviland our thoughts are the thoughts of iniquity.We have lost our way and are far from the way of peace.The roads we travel are crooked and desperate.We hope for light, but behold darkness.Lord, only you can intercede and bring health to us.Only your strong arm can bring us salvation.May the Redeemer of Zion save us. Amen. Taken from Isaiah 59
