The Lord's Supper
We welcome all baptized Christians to receive Holy Communion with us if you actively trust in Jesus Christ as Savior, willingly forsake your sin, and are a member of a congregation that proclaims the gospel. If you are not able to receive Communion, please use this time to meditate on the following prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ, I admit that I am weaker and more sinful than I ever dared admit, but through you I am more loved and accepted than I ever dared hope. I thank you for paying my debt on the cross, taking what I deserved in order to offer me complete forgiveness. Knowing that you have been raised from the dead, I turn from my sins and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Amen.
· Gluten-free wafers are available at the back of the sanctuary in a plate labeled gluten-free.
