As you enter the sanctuary, please prepare your mind, heart, and spirit for
worship; quietly greet one another in the name of the Lord.
Silent Meditation In the name of Jesus Christ, HPPC opens wide her doors and offers
welcome to all who sin and need a Savior; to all who are spiritually weak
and seek rest; to all who mourn and long for comfort; to all who struggle
and desire victory; to all who are strangers and want fellowship; to all who
hunger and thirst after righteousness; and to whomsoever will come.

Call to Confession
Corporate Prayer of Confession
Gracious God, Who pours out freely the gift of Your Holy Spirit: we
confess before You and to each other that we have failed to recognize
this most precious gift. We have been satisfied with ordinary things,
suspicious of unfamiliar things, and blind to spiritual things.
Cleanse us, O God, with Your celestial fire. Burn away our pretense
and presumptuous self-sufficiency. Open us in faith to receive the
renewing touch of Your forgiving hand.

Affirmation of Faith The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,
And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; Who was conceived by the
Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell; the third day
He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on
the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come
to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy
catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the
resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Prayers of the People and 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.

The Feast of the Ascension
The Feast of the Ascension, a commemoration of the bodily ascension of
Christ into heaven, is one of the twelve great feasts of the Christian year.
Ascension Day falls on the fortieth calendar day after Easter, a Thursday. In
many Western churches, however, it is celebrated on the following Sunday,
which is the seventh Sunday of Easter and the Sunday before Pentecost.
The Ascension is recorded in Mark, Luke and the Acts of the Apostles,
and is linked to Jesus’ promise that his disciples would be his witnesses “in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts
1:8). He also promised to send his Spirit to empower them for their mission,
a promise he fulfilled on Pentecost.
“They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly
two men dressed in white stood beside them. ‘Men of Galilee,’ they said,
‘why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been
taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen
him go into heaven.’”
- Acts 1:10,11
