Luther said of the Lord's Supper, “This Sacrament is the Gospel”. The wonder is that it is not only the Gospel received (forgiveness of sins), but also the Gospel proclaimed (the Lord's death). As we make this common proclamation, we also acknowledge that oneness in doctrine is witnessed to by those receiving the Sacrament together. We, therefore, ask that guests desiring to commune would speak with one of the pastors or an elder before the service.

Children who are not yet confirmed are welcome to come forward during the distribution of Holy Communion and receive the blessing of Holy Absolution. Following the absolution, the child may say, “Amen.”

Attendance Cards—We ask that all members and visitors please fill out one of the blue attendance cards located in the pews.

Hearing assistance devices are available from the sound system operator to assist the hearing impaired. Ask an Elder or an Usher if one is needed.

The Congregation at Prayer is available in the tract rack in the narthex.
