COMING FORWARD FOR COMMUNION TODAY? Please be aware that in our church the biblical and historic understanding of Holy Communion is held that those who share with us in this Holy Supper bear witness that they agree with the doctrine of the LutheranChurch - Missouri Synod in general and the following two things in particular:
- When consecrated, the bread and wine of the Lord's Supper are the true Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, as He said when He instituted the Sacrament to be a Holy meal for the remission of sins.
- Those who come to Holy Communion in repentance, grateful for God’s forgiveness, should also be committed to offering their personal forgiveness to all others.
Guests communing with us for the first time should see the Pastor before the service. If you are interested in becoming a communicant member or if you have any questions regarding our beliefs, please see the Pastor.
COMMUNION CARDS - Each time that we celebrate Holy Communion, we ask that all those who come to receive Communion would please fill out a sacramental registration card and hand it to the usher on your way up to the rail. This will help us keep an accurate record of the communion attendance of our members. Also, we ask you to please read the communion card as part of your spiritual preparation to worthily receive Christ's Body and Blood. Thank you for your cooperation!

About the Liturgy: Adoration of the Sacrament
The Sacrament of the Altar is first and foremost God’s gift to us of Christ’s body and blood for the forgiveness of sins. It calls for faith in the heart to receive it rightly. However, where there is faith, worship naturally follows. The consecrated bread and wine truly are the body and blood of Christ, the place where he is really present. One who truly believes this cannot help but acknowledge him with worship and honor. Luther wrote that worship is the function of the whole body. “Where worship is offered from the heart, there follows quite properly also that outward bowing, bending, kneeling, and adoration with the body.” Thus, it is right and proper that the Christian bow the head before the altar on which Christ’s body and blood stand, bend the knee according to St Paul’s admonition (Phil. 2:10), or stand before him in reverent awe singing: “O Christ Thou Lamb of God . . . “.
“About the Liturgy” is by the Rev’d Dr. Tom Winger, currently Professor at Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary, St. Catharines, Ontario.
