In keeping with our practice on the first Sunday of every month, this Sunday included observing the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Dr. John Clayton continued his Lord's Supper Sunday walk through the book of Exodus, this time in the first two verses of chapter 5 with his sermon, "Know the Lord." The hymns for this week were "We Praise You, O God, Our Redeemer, Creator," Psalm 113 (verses 1-8), "My Faith Has Found a Resting Place," and "Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts." In addition, the choir sang the song "O Splendor of the Father's Light" for the offertory.

This special evening service was held as one of our periodic corporate community group sessions, in which the church meets for worship, and the topic for the sermon comes from the current book that is being studied during our once-a-month home community groups. This service featured Dr. John Clayton's sermon "Life As Risen," from Colossians 3:1-17. The hymns sung during this service were "Psalm 130," "Speak, O Lord," and "Be Thou My Vision."
