In addition, we are recognizing our Nursery Staff and our Power Hour teachers at all three services. Also, come join us on the patio by the three crosses for fellowship and snacks during the fellowship time and Sunday School hour, 9:15-10:15am. Activities for the children will be provided. Come meet your Power Hour teacher and have fun with your Concordia family. Communion: In the Lord s Supper, Jesus offers the faithful His true body and blood to eat and drink. These words, Given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins, show us that in the Sacrament forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation are given us through these words. These words, along with the bodily eating and drinking, are the main thing in the Sacrament. Anyone who has questions is invited to speak to the pastor or elder before communing. The cups in the center of the tray are filled with a white non-alcoholic wine and gluten free wafers are available for those with allergies.
