Welcome & Announcements
★ Call to WorshipPsalm 33:6-11
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their host. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation.

Hear the promises of God to those who truly repent of their sins and trust in Christ: “Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD, “Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool.” Now, lift up your hearts!
We lift them up to the Lord!

The Table
God strengthens us with spiritual food and we receive Him with thanks.
The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper
Christ invites us to His table to speak His covenant promises in a way we can taste and see. We do not just remember a past event — we meet the living Christ today to be strengthened for the week ahead.
Should I take communion here?
This table belongs to Jesus Christ. All who trust in him alone for salvation, are baptized, and are in good standing with a Bible-believing church are warmly invited to receive. If you are uncertain, we invite you to remain seated and speak with the pastor after the service. This table may be exactly where faith begins to grow.
All cups contain grape juice. Gluten-free bread is available.
Sending
God speaks a blessing over us and we go out to serve.
★ Doxology · Trinity Hymnal
Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow
★ BenedictionHebrews 12:1-2
Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
