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.

A Few Notes About Our Services
* If you are visiting with us today, please help us to get to know you by filling out one of the blue cards in the pew racks and placing it in the offering plate when the offering is collected.
* When the prelude begins, please curtail conversation and prepare your hearts for worship. Please make sure electronic devices are off or using silent mode.
* We love children in our worship services! For our parents, there is a Cry Room in the back of the sanctuary for calming children in order to return to the worship service. We also offer a Visitors' Nursery for children 3 and under. If you wish to utilize it, please speak with the greeter for directions.
* Hearing assistance devices are available at the taping table.

Corporate Confession of Sin:

LORD God, we are defiled by our own ways and deeds. We have profaned Your holy name wherever we have gone. Save us, O LORD, not for our sake, but for Your holy name's sake, so that the nations may know You are the LORD. Cleanse us, and we will be clean. Cleanse us from our filthiness and idolatry. By Your Spirit cause us to walk in Your statutes and keep Your judgments. Help us to remember our evil ways and deeds that are not good, so that we may loathe them in our own sight, for our iniquities are abominations in Your holy sight. May we be ashamed for our ways. Cleanse us from our iniquities. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. (Ezekiel 36)

Confession of Sin (Unison)

Almighty, eternal God and Father, we confess and acknowledge that we, alas, were conceived and born in sin, and are therefore inclined to all evil and slow to all good; that we transgress thy holy commandments without ceasing, and ever more corrupt ourselves. But we are sorry for the same, and beseech Thy grace and help. Wherefore have mercy upon us, most gracious and merciful God and Father, through Thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ. Grant to us and increase in us Thy Holy Spirit, that we may recognize our sin and unrighteousness from the bottom of our hearts, attain true repentance and sorrow for them, die to them wholly, and please thee entirely by a new godly life. In Jesus' name, Amen. (from Calvin's French liturgy at Strasbourg)
