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:

God of the Covenant, repeatedly we have rejected Christ, have handed him over to death. We have denied him, betrayed him. People deceive us away from you. You open our minds to understand the Scriptures, but then we snap our minds shut. You make us witnesses, but we close our eyes. We are guilty of lawlessness.

For the sake of the Risen Messiah, forgive us. We repent and turn to you so that our sins may be wiped out. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Confession of Sin (Unison)

Eternal God, You do not change.
You have revealed Yourself to us in Your Word.
You call us to worship You in spirit and in truth.
But we confess that we often worship
not Your true self but who we wish You to be.
We too often ask You to bless what we do
rather than seeking to do what You bless.
Forgive us for seeking concessions
when we should be seeking guidance.
Forgive us when our worship shapes You into what we want
instead of shaping us into what You want.
Help us to meet You here, that we might bow
before Your unspeakable majesty
and so live for You now and ever, in Christ. Amen.
