Blessed assurance Jesus is mine, O what a foretaste of glory divineHeir of salvation purchase of God, born of His Spirit washed in His blood
This is my story this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long This is my story this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long
Perfect submission perfect delight, visions of rapture now burst on my sightAngels descending bring from above, echoes of mercy whispers of love
Perfect submission all is at rest, I in my Savior am happy and blestWatching and waiting looking above, filled with His goodness lost in His love

By Faith
By faith we see the hand of GodIn the light of creation's grand designIn the lives of those who prove His faithfulnessWho walk by faith and not by sight
By faith our fathers roamed the earthWith the pow'r of His promise in their heartsOf a holy city built by God's own handA place where peace and justice reign
We will stand as children of the promise We will fix our eyes on Him our soul's reward Till the race is finished and the work is done We'll walk by faith and not by sight
By faith the prophets saw a dayWhen the longed for Messiah would appearWith the pow'r to break the chains of sin and deathAnd rise triumphant from the grave
By faith the church was called to goIn the pow'r of the Spirit to the lostTo deliver captives and to preach Good NewsIn ev'ry corner of the earth
By faith the mountain shall be movedAnd the pow'r of the Gospel shall prevailFor we know in Christ all things are possibleFor all who call upon His name

† THE PRAYER OF ADORATION
† THE CONFESSION OF FAITH......................................................The Apostles’ CreedI believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, andin Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the HolyGhost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,dead, and buried; He descended into hell.* The third day He arose againfrom the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand ofGod the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick andthe dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic** church; the commu-nion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
*experienced the full fury of the Father's wrath; was utterly forsaken, rejected, and abandoned**universal-not limited to any one particular denomination, nation, or ethnicity
† THE GLORIA PATRI.......................................................................................(8:30 A.M.) Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, amen.
THE CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SINAlmighty and most merciful Father, we are thankful that your mercy ishigher than the heavens,wider than our wanderings,deeper than all our sin.Forgive our careless attitudes toward your purposes,our refusal to relieve the suffering of others,our envy of those who have more than we have,our obsession with creating a life of constant pleasure,our indifference to the treasures of heaven,our neglect of your wise and gracious law.Help us to change our way of lifeso that we may desire what is good,love what you love,and do what you command,through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDONING GRACE The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
THE HYMN OF PARDONING GRACE........................................(8:30 and 11:00 A.M.) Hymn #500 Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me (all verses)
Rock of Ages cleft for me, let me hide myself in TheeLet the water and the blood from Thy riven side which flowedBe of sin the double cure, cleanse me from its guilt and power
Not the labors of my hands can fulfill Thy laws demandsCould my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flowAll for sin could not atone, Thou must save and Thou alone
Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to Thy cross I clingNaked come to Thee for dress, helpless look to Thee for graceFoul I to the fountain fly, wash me Savior or I die
While I draw this fleeting breath, when mine eyelids close in deathWhen I soar to worlds unknown, see Thee on Thy judgment throneRock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee© 1985 James Ward Music. Augustus Monague Toplady | James Ward
THE PRAYER TIME WITH THE LORD’S PRAYER Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

May Thy rich grace impart strength to my fainting heart, my zeal inspireAs Thou hast died for me, O may my love to TheePure warm and changeless be, a living fire
While life's dark maze I tread and griefs around me spread, be Thou my guideBid darkness turn to day, wipe sorrow's tears awayNor let me ever stray from Thee aside
When ends life's transient dreamWhen death's cold sullen stream shall o'er me rollBlest Savior then in love, fear and distrust removeO bear me safe above, a ransomed soulLowell Mason and Ray Palmer. Public Domain .

My family and I wish to thank you for all your prayers and thoughts over the last several months. The plant you gave us was beautiful and meant a lot to the entire
family. Oliver and I are glad we are a part of such a great church family. With love, Oliver and Kathy Gilmore
Dear Covenant Family, words are not adequate to express our deep gratitude and appreciation for the prayers and support extended to us after John's bike accident. We felt all of the above and cannot tell you how we were comforted from the outpouring of
love you have extended to us. Thank you for your calls, visits, meals, and for the beautiful plant. It has been reassuring to see God's providence in this journey. We are
truly a blessed people and we thank our Lord for the gift of our ESPC Covenant Family. Please continue to pray for a complete recovery. Love, Debbie and John Hailey
