6 W O R S H I P N O T E S Welcome! We are glad that you have joined us this morning. We hope you nd our service to be both friendly and reverent. Most of all, we hope you experience Christ this morning. If you have questions, need the help of a pastor, or are interested in church membership, please contact one of our pastors, B.J. Milgate (bj@upc-lakenona.com, ) or Pablo Torres (pablo@upc-lakenona.com, ). The Lord s Supper At UPC Lake Nona, we o er communion every week. We believe that it adds a tremendous sensory experience to worship and provides a deep encounter with Christ. Jesus Christ himself invites all true believers to his table. If you are a baptized Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, and a faithful member or adherent of this or some other congregation, recognized as belonging to the fellowship of Christian believers, please know how welcome you are to eat this gracious meal with us. By taking the bread and the wine, you are acknowledging that you are a sinner, without hope except in God s sovereign mercy, and that you are trusting in Christ alone for your salvation. If you have any questions about your participation in the Lord s Supper please speak to our pastor. Ushers will pass the elements through the rows. Please hold onto each element until all have been served. As you pass the bread to the next person, you may say, The body of Christ, broken for you. Gluten-free bread is available. Simply raise your hand, and the pastor will serve you. As you pass the wine, you may say, The blood of Christ, poured out for you. The red cups are wine; the white cups are grape juice. Children and Youth As you look around, you'll notice lots of kids. We welcome children of all ages in our worship service, believing that they are part of God's family and are blessed to participate in corporate worship. We appreciate your understanding of the occasional disruption. A nursery with a nap room is provided throughout the entire service every Sunday for infants and toddlers through age 3. A cry room is also available. Sunday School is o ered for children ages 4 years to 5th grade.
