Corporate Confession of Sin

Almighty God, we admit that we have sinned times without number. We have been guilty of pride and unbelief.

We have failed to seek you in our daily lives.

We have been more concerned with ourselves than others.

Forgive us and cleanse us from every false desire through
your Son.

Invitation to the Lord’s Supper

We welcome you to the sacrament setting forth the communion of saints.

Communion is a family meal of Christians. We welcome all committed followers of Jesus Christ to partake of this sacrament: those who are baptized members of a congregation which proclaims the gospel, who are at peace with God and with their neighbor, and who seek strength to live more faithfully for Christ.

If you are not a Christian, or have not made public profession of faith*, we encourage you to spend this time in prayer. The purpose of this Holy Supper is not to hold out judgment, but rather to hold out God's forgiveness and pardon. Through this means of grace we receive the benefits of Christ's death and present intercession; in fact, through it, we receive nothing less than Christ himself. We hope that this time is helpful as you consider your relationship with Jesus Christ, and with his people, the church.

*Cloverdale URC does not practice paedo-communion, the participation in the Lord’s Supper by children who have not made public profession of faith.

Wine & Grape Juice in the Lord’s Supper

The Elders have placed wine along with grape juice in the Lord’s Supper. They have prepared the Table of the Lord so that no person’s conscience should be troubled with respect to that element which represents to us the blood of Christ. May your participation bring life, joy, happiness and strength in Christ as you by faith receive the blessings visibly shown in the Sacrament.

In receiving the Lord’s Supper we offer these considerations:

1) Parents, regarding your children who have made public profession of faith, until they are free to follow their own conscience in this matter, please direct them in choosing the element (wine or grape juice) of which they will partake.

2) The wine and the grape juice will be distinguishable within the serving tray by a small differentiation in color and placement. Cups in the inner ring of the serving tray will contain grape juice; the outer two rings will contain wine.

“The grass withers

and the flowers fall,

but the word of our God

stands forever.”

Isaiah 40:8
