*CALL TO WORSHIP

My Soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad.

O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt God’s name together.

When I sought you, O God, you answered me. You delivered me from all my fears.

O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who take refuge in the Lord, our

God.

Let us worship God!

CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

O God, who appointed Christ our high priest, may he intercede for us as we confess our

sin. We are lame when we do not walk by faith. We are blind when we do not seek your

truth. We crave self-fulfillment, rather than your righteousness. We are in bondage to our-

selves. Through Christ, release us from our captivity, and in him forgive us.

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ

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.

REMEMBER IN YOUR PRAYERS

We’re Hosting the Next

Blood Drive! Tuesday, November 10 / 1:30 - 6:00 pm

Fellowship Hall

Our church has a history of giving and has been hero-

ic in the number of people who have donated blood.

Remember, one donation can save THREE lives!

Can’t donate blood? Well, don’t worry, you can

“give,” too! There are opportunities for several peo-

ple to do some easy, “just-show-up” kind of jobs to

facilitate offering a comfortable, efficient use of a

blood donor’s life-saving job. The non-donating jobs

involve:

Set up and/or take down tables and chairs for the

Red Cross team.

Greet and sign in the potential donors.

Set up and serve donors in the “canteen” area.

This can be a social as well as service providing

job. We offer light snacks, provided by the other

Hilton Area churches, to help the donors re-

energize and keep up their fluid intake before

getting on with their evenings.

Encourage others who have an interest to come

out and give the gift of life.

There will be a sign-up sheet in the Narthex for

non-blood-donor help. Thank you for your con-

sideration in this vital ministry!

Potential blood donors…the Red Cross is trying to

make the blood donation process more convenient

and efficient in a number of ways these days. Tech-

nology has been helpful in that regard. Here are

some aids for expediting the process:

Make an appointment online at

www.redcrossblood.org (the Sponsor Code is

HiltonAC) or download the free Blood Donor

App by texting BLOOD.

A BRAND NEW TOOL is available. It’s called

Rapid Pass. The pre-reading and answering of

pre-donation questions may be accomplished

online at home or from your workplace the day of

donating to reduce the time spent at the blood

drive by as much as 15 minutes! To access this

process visit www.redcrossblood.ort/RapidPass

and follow the instructions given.

In summary, donate blood if you can, sign up to help

facilitate the blood drive, an/or tell your friends about

this ministry and encourage them to consider being

lifesavers!

Thank you, Wanda Fletcher

HPC representative to the Hilton Area Churches
