Holy Communion

Our Communion Policy

Holy Communion is celebrated at this congregation in the confession and glad confidence that, as He says, our Lord gives into our mouths not only bread and wine but His very body and blood to eat and to drink for the forgiveness of sins and to strengthen our union with Him and with one another. Our Lord invites to His table those who trust His words, repent of all sin, and set aside any refusal to forgive and love as He forgives and loves us, that they may show forth His death until he comes.

Because those who eat and drink our Lord’s body and blood unworthily do so to their great harm and because Holy Communion is a confession of the faith which is confessed at this altar, any who are not yet instructed, in doubt, or who hold a confession differing from that of this congregation and The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and yet desire to receive the sacrament, are asked first to speak with the pastor.

The Lord’s Supper

The ushers will invite you to the Lord’s Supper. Exit your pew toward the center aisle and move forward forming two lines. Stand/kneel at the Communion rail beginning at the center and going outwards around the altar. Choose between taking and individual cup or the common cup. Exit the Lord’s Table beginning in the center and then walking down the side aisle to your pew.
