Welcome
Flowers The sanctuary flowers are given today to the glory of God.
To Our Guests,We especially welcome you today! More information about our church is available on our website at firstpresaugusta.org.
Spiritual CareIf you would like to speak to someone about what it means to know Jesus Christ or you have any spiritual need or question, please use one of the prayer cards in the pew rack to contact one of our pastors. Our church elders are also available to speak with you. An elder will be standing next to the pastor following the service.
Children’s Check-inWe are committed to the highest level of protection possible for the children placed in our care on Sundays and at all church events. For this reason, we require parents of newborns through fifth grade children to check in their children before they go to the nursery, Sunday School, Catechism, Children’s Church or any other children’s activity. Kiosks are available in the Welcome Center. The process is quick and easy, and volunteers are available to assist you.
Children’s WorshipWe offer a specially designed program for children in pre-k through fourth grade during the morning services. Leaders will escort children from the sanctuary to their classrooms before the hymn of preparation. Parents are welcome to accompany them to observe where to pick them up after the service. Parents of children in pre-k through second grade are asked to pick up their children following Sunday School or the 11 a.m. worship service.
Nursery Nurseries are provided for infants and toddlers during the worship services and Sunday School. We provide a Mother/Infant Room located beside Nursery 1, and the Geneva Room is designated as a Cry Room for parents with fussy children, equipped with live video feed of the worship services. Ushers are available to direct you.
Additional Seating Additional seating for morning and evening worship services is available each week in St. Andrew’s Hall.
As stewards of God’s resources, we try not to print an excess of bulletins.We invite you to bring this bulletin with you when you return for the evening service.

†The Pastoral Prayer and The Lord’s PrayerOur 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.
The Assurance of Pardoning Grace ............................................... Jeremiah 31:33-34“This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”
Remember, O Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from of oldRemember not the sins of our youth and our rebellious ways;According to your love remember us, for you are good, O Lord.For the sake of your name, O Lord, forgive our iniquity, though it is great.Turn to us and be gracious to us, for we are lonely and afflicted.The troubles of our hearts have multiplied; free us from our anguish.Look upon our affliction and our distress and take away all our sins. (Adapted from Psalm 25:6,7,11,16-18)

Words by Mike Murphy | Music by Mike Murphy and Allie Murphy | © 2016 MikeMurphySound
When dry my weary, wounded soulLay lost in shadowed heartO make me, Lord, behold you thereIn light that breaks the dark
Through all the watches of the nightO help me not forgetThese trials, Jesus overcameHis promises he’s kept Why look so down my face aboveThe resurrected graveSoul, put thy hope within his loveAnd sing the Father’s praise And sing the Father’s praise
Though tossed about, more nearly drownedIn world’s abandoned seaThy cross of blood and thorny crownBrought Christ and heav’n to me
O lead the way, my Lord, my GodAnd help me back when lostThen guide my spirit heavenwardIn vict’ry o’er my cross
Behold the Lamb, the Son of manBehold the Lamb of God
Why look so down my face aboveThe resurrected graveSoul, put thy hope within his loveAnd sing
Behold the Lamb, the Son of manBehold the Lamb of God
When dry my weary, wounded soulMy hope is in his love
