What we Believe

 

     

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.
