Prayer Chain Requests Contact Kim Ternet at There are boxes of supplies available, located below the mailboxes, for the children to use with the Children s Bulletin Please return these boxes after each service Regarding The Lord s Supper Communion is a time for penitent reflection and joy as we receive our Savior's Body & Blood. As we make our way to the Communion table, please use this time for personal reflection and prayer for this wonderful Holy Sacrament. Periodically it is wise to evaluate our worship practice. In the Divine Service, our Lord confronts our sin and comforts us with His forgiveness. Therefore, worship conveys holiness, blessing, relief and warmth. Any modification should be non-distracting and natural, moving us towards deeper reverence and careful practice. Our intent is not change for change sake, but fidelity to our Lord. To that end, a church elder will collect your individual communion cups before leaving the Lord s Table.
