STATEMENT OF COMMUNION PRACTICE
The Lord’s Supper is celebrated in this congregation in the confession and glad confidence that, as He says, our Lord gives into our mouths not only bread and wine but His very body and blood to eat and to drink for the forgiveness of sins and to strengthen our union with Him and with one another. Our Lord invites to His table those who trust His words, repent of all sin, and set aside any refusal to forgive and love as He forgives and loves us, that they may show forth His death until He comes.

Because those who eat and drink our Lord’s body and blood unworthily do so to their great harm and because Holy Communion is a confession of the faith confessed at this altar, any who are not yet instructed, in doubt, or who hold a confession differing from that of The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod, and are unable to receive the Sacrament are invited to meditate on God’s Word in the distribution hymns and pray for the day when divisions will have ceased. If you have any questions regarding our practice, please review the “Fellowship in the Lord’s Supper” brochure or visit with Pastor Poppe, Pastor Berndt, or one of the elders before the service.

The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me see His grace
On the cross He took my place.
There He suffered and He died.
That I might be glorified. Refrain:

Jesus loves me God’s own Son
Over sin the vict’ry won.
When I die saved by His grace
I shall see Him face to face. Refrain:

Jesus loves me He is near
He is with His church so dear.
And the Spirit He has sent
By His Word and Sacrament. Refrain:

Activities Today: Following the 8 am service and in lieu of the Sunday School opening this morning we will gather just outside the south entrance of the church to dedicate the two benches and tree donated in honor of long-time Sunday School teacher, Dorothy McKee, now in heaven. We will also dedicate the “Good Friday” picture donated by last year’s 8th grade confirmation class at this time. Everyone is invited for this special dedication event.
