(Silent Confession of Sin)

Corporate Confession of Sin – Almighty God, we confess we have broken your commandments. We have sinned by selfishness, worldliness, unbelief and pride. We have not loved our neighbor as ourselves, and we have not walked humbly with you. Forgive us our sins and blot out our debts according to your tender mercies, according to your loving kindness. Cleanse us by the blood of Jesus your Son. Give us a humble and contrite heart that we might forgive others as you have forgiven us. We ask through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Declaration of Pardon – For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Eph. 2:8-9

9. Christ Church Downingtown has been offered the opportunity to purchase the building where they currently meet—for just $200,000. This is a remarkable provision from the Lord and a truly favorable price in their context. The building has served them well as a worship space, and owning it will give them a permanent, visible home for gospel ministry in the heart of Downingtown. If you would like to donate, you can do that personally and send to the name and address listed on the bulletin board: OR, you can make a check out to "Christ Church Downingtown OPC" and put it in the offering plate and we will send a bulk mailing to them, of all collected checks BY July 20th, and we will mail it by July 25. -The Session.
