A Few Notes About Our Services

Beal Heights observes the Lord’s Supper each Sunday. We invite all professing Christians whose membership is in good standing with an evangelical, Bible believing congregation to join with us at the Lord’s Table. If you are visiting with us today, please meet with our elder in the foyer for a quick interview to be admitted to the Lord’s Table.

When the prelude begins, please curtail conversation and prepare your hearts for worship. Please make sure electronic devices are off or using silent mode.

If you are visiting with us today, please help us to get to know you by filling out one of the blue cards in the pew racks and placing it in the offering plate when the offering is collected.

We love children in our worship services! For our parents, there is a Cry Room in the back of the sanctuary for calming children in order to return to the worship service. We also offer a Visitors’ Nursery for children 3 and under. If you wish to utilize it. Please speak with the greeters for directions.

Hearing assistance devices are available at the taping table.

If you should need assistance in any way, please speak with our greeters.

Confession of Sin (Unison)

We beg You, O God, to forgive those sins which beset us: our heedlessness of those who come after us, if only we be served; our love of money, our contempt for small things and our worship of big things; our neglect of others; our complacen-cy; and our pride of life. For these wrongs done, as for right things left undone, forgive us, O Lord. Almighty God, give us grace to contend always for what is true and right, and to be ready if need be to suffer for it. Give us not over to fearfulness of soul, but lift us into that love which casts out fear, so that we may glorify and enjoy You now and for ever; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
