We believe in a GOD Who loves us
all!!!
He is the
Father who created and preserves
this beautiful world and
everyone in it. and everyone in
it.
He is the Son, Jesus, our Savior, who came to this world
to take away sin and all it's punishment that we might
have eternal life with God.
He is the Holy Spirit who calls, brings and keeps us in
God's loving family that we might live as His children.

HOLY COMMUNION--- WHAT WE BELIEVE.
In this Sacrament, Jesus gives us Himself, His true Body
and Blood as we receive the bread and wine. On the night
He was betrayed and before He was put to death, Jesus
celebrated this Meal with his disciples assuring us that
each time we receive it, we are again remembering His
death and receiving the full benefits of His grace,
namely the forgiveness of sin. In 1 Corinthians 11, St.
Paul says that we should "examine ourselves" ahead of
time. We can do so each time by asking ourselves these
basic questions:
Do I acknowledge the fact that I am indeed a sinner and
that I am sorry for my sins?
Do I believe that Jesus Christ
is my Savior from all sin?
Am I trusting in Jesus' promise that I receive the
assurance of full pardon and strength through this Holy
Meal?
Finally, with the Lord's help, will I seek to amend my
life and live in conformity with His Holy
Will?
Jesus Himself invites baptized followers, who believe in
Him as their Lord and Savior, who recognize their sinful
condition and who seek His forgiveness, to come to His
Table to receive His precious Body and Blood. May the
Lord bless your personal reception as well as your daily
living under His power and blessing. Should you have
questions, please see the Pastor or the Lay Minister
prior to the worship service. For those who prefer,
non-alcoholic white wine is in the center of the tray.
