Information for May 10, 2026
Take a moment to notice the * at the beginning of various portions of the order of service. The * indicates the place where it is inappropriate to enter or leave the sanctuary because it marks a time of prayer or respect for the Word of the Lord. Please be considerate of others around you by honoring these notations.
In the Sacrament of Holy Communion, the Risen Christ gives us His body and blood for the forgiveness of our sins, the strengthening of our faith, and the renewal of our joy in Him. In joyful obedience to His Word, it is our practice to ascertain doctrinal unity for those partaking of the Sacrament. We therefore ask guests desiring to commune to kindly speak with the pastor or an elder before the service.

The Father Answers Our Prayers Because of Jesus
May 10, 2026
AS WE GATHER: “Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you” (John 16:23). To pray in Jesus’ name is to pray as one who has been baptized. For it is in the water that He put His name upon you, claiming you as His own, making you a son of God with access to the Father. By His incarnation and crucifixion, our Lord Jesus broke through the barrier of sin which separated us from God, opening a portal to the Father. To pray in Jesus’ name is to pray with faith in Him as the one Mediator between God and men, who gave Himself a ransom for all (1 Tim. 2:1-6). Like Moses in the wilderness, Jesus is our go-between and intercessor before the throne of heaven. He was lifted up for us on the cross that we might be saved and restored to fellowship with the Father (Num. 21:4-9). Looking into this perfect teaching of liberty (James 1:22-27) we pray with boldness and confidence as dear children of God.
