Covenant-First Presbyterian Church was founded in 1790, and has been a part of downtown Cincinnati ever since. Our almost 2,000 pound tower bell is from the Paul Revere Foundry in Boston, and first rang from the steeple of one of our earliest buildings. This building was completed in 1875, and the Austin Pipe Organ dates to 1915, with its approximately 3,500 pipes. We have traditional worship with Bible-based preaching each week. Our music program is enhanced by our Music Scholar program and we are excited to have them lead in worship most Sundays. If you need help with directions to restrooms, the fellowship hall, or to the lower level nursery, the person who greeted you this morning will be glad to help you. Children and worship We delight in children, and your children are always welcome to stay with you in worship. However, if you would prefer nursery care for your infants and toddlers, we do have a professionally staffed nursery in the lower level. We invite children ages 2 years to 5 years to participate in Junior Church. If your child wants to participate in Junior Church, you may escort them to the lower level during the singing of the Doxology. You may then pick your child up following the service from the downstairs classrooms. Validated Parking Validated parking is available in the 222 W. 7th St. Garage. Validation is done using your car’s license plate number. Please locate a greeter to complete the validation process which requires your license plate number. Fellowship Time After worship, we invite you to gather with us in Metzger Hall for a reception featuring coffee, treats, and encouraging conversation. Many of us travel from a distance to join together in worship on Sunday mornings, and we find this weekly fellowship time to be a valuable and enriching time for us to catch up and meet new people. Please join us! About us If you are interested in learning more about Covenant-First Presbyterian Church, see your morning greeter, help yourself to anyof the literature located on the back tables, contact the church office at 513-621-4144, or visit our website at covfirstchurch.org.

Andante sostenuto Concerns of the Congregation Rev. Dr. Dan Turis Call to Worship Darlene Nored One: Come worship the Lord who loosens oppression, feeds the hungry, shelters the vulnerable, and makes merciful communities shine like dawn in a wounded world today. Passing of the Peace This is a time in the worship service where we extend Christ’s peace to one another. Please greet those around you as a community bound together with the hope of Christ. One: The peace of Christ be with you. All: And also with you.

Amen. *Prayer of Confession Rev. Dr. Dan Turis All: Merciful Lord, we confess that we sing while ignoring suffering, fast while exploiting others, and pray while withholding bread. We prefer ceremonies that cost little to mercy that changes lives. Forgive our hollow worship. Through Christ, loose injustice, heal indifference, and make us neighbors. Amen. *Moments of Silent Confession

Rev. Dr. Dan Turis One: Hear the promise of grace: Jesus Christ is the true fast, the faithful worshiper, and the merciful servant we failed to be. He carried our guilt, broke sin’s oppression, and rose as healing light.
