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
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 justly deserve Your present and eternal punishment. We
deserve the death that our sin has wrought. 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 Vicar 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 (9:30-10:30) this summer and be
encouraged by God's promises in Jesus Christ. (Loomis Center)
The Grace and Truth Paradox Our world today needs grace. But our world also needs truth. This study, written by Randy Alcorn will help reveal the meanings of grace and truth in Gods Word and will illustrate the way Jesus balanced these qualities as He related to people. This class is led by Alan Bishop, Pat Croll, Tina Hergenrader and Nelson Scroggins.
