A warm welcome is extended to all who worship with us today! Let us enjoy the presence of the Lord together, as we fix our eyes on Him who is the Author and Perfecter of our faith.

CALL TO WORSHIP Hebrews 9:11-15 PASTOR: Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; CONGREGATION: Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. PASTOR: For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: CONGREGATION: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? PASTOR: And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, PASTOR & CONGREGATION : That by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Not all the blood of beasts On Jewish altars slain Could give the guilty conscience peace Or wash away the stain.

But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, Takes all our sins away; A sacrifice of nobler name And richer blood than they.

My faith would lay her hand On that dear head, of Thine While like a penitent I stand And there confess my sin.

My soul looks back to see The burden Thou didst bear When hanging on the cursed tree And knows her guilt was there.

Believing, we rejoice To see the curse remove; We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice And sing His bleeding love. —Isaac Watts
