STATEMENT OF COMMUNION

BECAUSE THE WORD OF GOD TEACHES THAT:

• We are all sinners in need of forgiveness.
• Jesus is our only Savior from sin through His death and resurrection.
• The True Body and Blood of Christ is present in the Sacrament of the Holy Communion
• Please see Pastor if you have any questions about this or do not believe in the Lord’s Supper in this way. You are welcome to come forward for a blessing if you are not communing.
• TO PREPARE: Please use the Christian Questions with Their Answers from “The Sacrament of the Altar” on page 329 in the front of the Lutheran Service Book. You are not obligated to partake if you feel, for whatever reason, the need to refrain from the Lord’s Supper for a short time.
• Please see Pastor if there is something going on in your life that needs the attention of Christ in private confession and absolution.

(If you are gluten intolerant please speak with Pastor or an elder prior to the worship service so we can accommodate you.)
