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.
* If you should need assistance in any way, please speak with our greeter.

Corporate Confession of Sin:

LORD God, we are ashamed and embarrassed to lift up our face to You, for our iniquities have risen above our heads and our guilt has grown even to the heavens. Now, O God, what shall we say? For we have forsaken Your commandments, which You have commanded by Your servants the prophets. After all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and our great guilt, since You our God have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, shall we again break Your commandments? Would You not be angry with us to the point of destruction, until there is no remnant nor any who escape? O LORD God of Israel, You are righteous; behold, we are before You in our guilt, for no one can stand before You because of this. In Jesus' name. Amen. (Ezra 9)

Confession of Sin (Unison)

LORD God, we have trusted in mankind, we have made flesh our strength, and our hearts have turned away from You. Our hearts are more deceitful than all else, and are desperately sick; who can understand the heart? You, O LORD, search the heart and test the mind, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the results of his deeds. Do not be a terror to us, we ask, for You are our refuge in the day of disaster. Help us to put our trust in You. Heal us, O LORD, and we will be healed; save us and we will be saved, for You are our praise. In Jesus’ name we pray, AMEN. (Jeremiah 17)
