BHPC observes the Lord's Supper weekly. We invite all professing Christians whose membership is in good standing with an evangelical, Bible-believing congregation to join with us at the Lord's Table. If you desire to partake of the Supper, please contact one of the elders for a short interview. You may do this prior to Sunday through the church office or via email, or arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the beginning of the morning worship service. If you have not been interviewed, we ask that you refrain from taking the Supper.

Confession of Sin (Unison)

Almighty God, the Fountain of all goodness, Who knows the thoughts of our hearts, we confess that we have sinned against You, and done evil in Your sight. You are infinitely good, and You have shown us what is good, and what You require of us for our good always. You send out Your light and Your truth to make the way of salvation plain before us. But we have followed the suggestions of our own evil hearts rather than the teachings of Your most holy Word. You justly might have taken away Your Gospel from us, and left us to our perverseness and impenitence. But, O Lord, Your pity exceeds the greatness of our sin, and in Your sure mercy is our hope. Pardon, we ask You, all our contempt of Your Word, and neglect of the means of grace. Wash us from the stains of our past sins, and grant us strength to put away all hurtful things, and to give no heed to their enticements for the time to come; so that, being delivered from the bondage of our sins, we may bring forth fruits worthy of repentance to the glory of Your great Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
