called haze, a theatrical humidifier to thicken the air to
enhance lighting. Both Lee Fellowship Hall and Sanctuary
hazers are water-based and safe.

NOTES
traditional worship

The opening hymn of worship was originally

written at the request of the general director of
the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship for a student
missions conference in 1946. That conference grew
to become the Urbana Conference, the largest student
missionary conference in the world today, and has
been attended by more than 300,000 people interested
in missions. This hymn is filled with biblical
references, the most noticeable with verses two, three,
and four being based on John 14:6, I am the way, the
truth, and the life. In addition, the text is filled with
references to passages in Colossians, John, Genesis,
Revelation, and several other books. This hymn
underscores the importance and significance of having
substantial theological content in the texts we sing.
Next to the Bible, hymns are the greatest influencer in
shaping peoples theology. We sing what we believe.

ABOUT COMMUNION
We believe in an open table. We invite every believer
who has publicly professed faith in Jesus to join us in this
celebration. We believe by the power of the Holy Spirit, that
the bread and the cup become for us the living presence of
the broken body and shed blood of Jesus. We do not believe
it becomes actual flesh and blood, but the spiritually living
presence of God through the Holy Spirit.
Presbyterian churches do not have altars like other
churches may. We have a table, symbolic of the Great Feast
of Thanksgiving we will one day enjoy with Jesus and the
heavenly host, as illustrated in Matthew 26:29 & Luke 22:1618.
We view the cross of Christ as the final and sufficient altar, on
which the ultimate sacrifice was made.
Suggestions for Celebrating Communion. Before serving the
bread and wine (non-alcoholic grape juice), the pastor will lead
the congregation in a time of prayer. During this time, confess
your sins to God; ways you have violated His commandments;
areas of your life where you are not living by faith; things you do
in an attempt to earn His favor.
While the bread is being served, meditate on what the death
of Jesus means for you; how the sins you confessed were laid
upon Him and paid for with His body. Rejoice that you do not
suffer Gods judgment because Christ suffered this judgment on
your behalf.
While the cup is being served, let it wash away your guilt, much
the way we are washed spiritually by the blood of the Lamb
(Jesus). One day, you will feast with God and all that your heart
desires will be fully satisfied. Take this time to confess specific
things that capture your heart more than God (approval of
others, success, your family, etc.). Rest in His presence.

We are now pleased to offer a gluten free communion option. If

you would like to receive a gluten free sacrament this morning,
there will be an Elder in the Narthex (lobby of the Sanctuary) to
administer it for you.
