We are glad you have joined us in praise and worship to our Lord Jesus Christ. Our regular worship times are Sunday - 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Please sign the Attendance pad passed during the offering. Join us for fellowship, coffee and rolls in the Fellowship Hall at 9:00 a.m. and Bible Class at 9:15 a.m. If you have no church home we invite you to consider making us your church family. HOLY COMMUNION is celebrated on the 2 nd and 4 th Sundays in the confidence of receiving from the Lord of the Church all He promises when he gives His body and blood in, with, and under the bread and wine for the forgiveness of sins. If you commune with us, we ask that you be in confessional agreement with the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod and that the following be your sincere conviction: I believe that I am a sinful human being without hope of eternal life except for God s mercy in Christ. I believe that Jesus is God s Son, my personal Savior, and together with the bread and wine I receive the true Body and Blood of Christ. I dedicate myself anew to the Lord through regular worship, the study of His Word, faithful witness, fervent prayer and loving service. [Non-alcoholic drink is offered in the middle section of each tray for those who are unable to partake of the wine. Gluten-free communion wafers are available. Notify the pastor at the communion rail that you desire a gluten-free host.] OUR NURSERY is located in the lower level of the north basement of the church. The service is broadcast through closed circuit TV. HEARING DEVICES are available on the west wall next to the steps to the balcony. FIRST AID KITS are located in the usher s closet, church kitchen, family room and Sunday School room with piano. AED s are located near the church mailboxes and the stairs next to the school kitchen. STEPHEN MINISTRY - Our Stephen Leaders need your help in identifying people who might benefit from a Stephen Minister relationship. If you see a friend, coworker, neighbor, relative or someone else who could use some extra Christian care, tell that person about our Stephen Ministry and get permission to refer him or her to a Stephen Leader or pastor.

PROFESSION OF FAITH The Nicene Creed I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried. And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures and ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. And he will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, whose kingdom will have no end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church, I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins, and I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen. HYMN.. Abide with Me....#878 SERMON PRAYER OF THE CHURCH
