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.

Corporate Confession of Sin:

O Lord, eternity is Yours, so You cannot be ignorant of what we tell You. By confessing our own miserable state to You and acknowledging Your mercy towards us we open our hearts to You, so that You may free us wholly, as You have already begun to do; so we may cease to be wretched in ourselves and may find our happiness in You. Therefore, we acknowledge our sin before You. In how many ways have we failed You, our Lord? O Lord, the depths of our conscience lie bare before Your eyes. Could anything of ours remain hidden from You, even if we refused to confess it? We should only be shielding our eyes from seeing You, not hiding ourselves from You. For You have called us to be poor in spirit, meek, hungering and thirsting for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, and peacemakers. Forgive us for every failure to be what You have called us to be, what the Lord Christ saved us to be, and what we ourselves, in our hearts desire to be for Your sake. Forgive us, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
[Adapted from Augustine's Confessions, XI, i; X, ii]
