Our Communion Practice

To Our Congregation and Guests about the Lord’s Supper

       The Lord’s Supper is Jesus’ meal of forgiveness and strength. However, because those who eat and drink our Lord’s body and blood unworthily do so to their great harm and because we also believe that receiving the Lord’s Supper together is an outward profession of unity with one another in faith and doctrine, we would therefore only invite communicant members of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod to receive this gift with us. If you still desire to receive the sacrament, please first speak with the pastor.         
       Guests are still encouraged to come to the altar, cross their arms over their chests, and receive a special blessing.
Preparation for the Lord’s Supper can be made by reading the front inside cover and pp. 326-327 of the hymnal along with reaffirming the following statements:

• I am baptized.
• I repent of my sins, trusting in Jesus’ atoning sacrifice for forgiveness and eternal life.
• I believe that I will eat Jesus’ actual flesh and blood in, with, and under bread and wine.
• As Jesus has forgiven and loved me, I do not refuse to forgive and love.
• By God’s grace I will continue to frequently receive Word and Sacrament, and I will strive to lead a Godly life to the praise and honor of Jesus’ holy name.
