THE CONFESSION OF SIN

Merciful Father, I have no robe to bring to cover my sins, no loom to weave

my own righteousness; I am always standing clothed in fi lthy garments, and

by grace am always receiving change of raiment, for You do justify the ungodly.

I am always going into the far country, and always returning home as a prodigal.

I am always saying, “Father, forgive me.” And You are always bringing forth

the best robe. Every morning let me wear it, every evening return in it, go out

to the day’s work in it, be married in it, be wound in death in it, stand before

the great white throne in it and enter heaven in it shining as the sun. In Jesus’

name, Amen. — Adapted from The Valley of Vision

THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ

Jesus our Lord.” — Romans 6:23

THE CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 95:1-7

The Minister: “Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise

to the rock of our salvation!

The Congregation: Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving; let us

make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise!

The Minister : For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all

gods.

The Congregation: In His hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the

mountains are His also.

The Minister : The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the

dry land.

The Congregation: Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel

before the Lord, our Maker!

The Minister and

Congregation: For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture,

and the sheep of His hand.”

The Reverend Jeremy Jones

Assistant Pastor

THE MEN’S ENSEMBLE

THE STATEMENT OF FAITH The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of His

Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God,

begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things

were made; who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was

incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was

crucifi ed also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the

third day He rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven,

and is seated at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with

glory, to judge both the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from

the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped

and glorifi ed; who spoke by the prophets; and we believe in one holy catholic and

apostolic church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and we

look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

SALT AND LIGHT OPPORTUNITIES | JULY@IPCOur leadership has decided to take a break from Wednesday evening functions during the month of July. Understanding that all time is God’s time, our Local Evangelism and Outreach Committee (LEOC) would like for you to use this break as an opportunity to get to know your neighbor by planning a dinner party. You can do this on your own or with some others in your neighborhood. The goal is simply to be intentional in getting to know your neighbors and building relationships with them through loving hospitality. What better way to be salt of the earth and light of the world than to welcome your neighbors into your home

and share a meal with them!

Another way to express love for our neighbors is by caring for and seeking to serve the city in which we live. The pastor of your community, along with members of your community, will be organizing and planning service events in which you can

participate during the month of July. If you desire to serve and lead in these events, please contact your pastor.

For further information, visit our website, www.indepres.org/our-blog/salt-and-light-opportunities--julyipc.

WELCOME TO IPCVisitors are special at IPC. Please fi ll out the Friendship Pad and pass it down

the aisle so that we will know you were here. Join us on Wednesday evenings for

our Fellowship Dinner at 5:30 p.m., followed by an adult Bible Study,

and youth and children’s programs at 6:30 p.m.

Visitors interested in joining IPC are invited to attend our next

Pathway Class for Prospective Members.
