THE LORD’S SUPPER
Here our Lord gives to us His own Body and Blood
for the forgiveness of all our sins
Our Grace Family celebrates The Lord’s Supper on the 1st and 3rd Sundays
of the month, confessing that our Lord feeds us with His very body and
blood for our forgiveness.
Please read carefully:
The Lord’s Supper is celebrated at Grace in the confession and glad confidence
that, as He says, our Lord gives into our mouths not only bread and wine but
His very body and blood to eat and to drink for the forgiveness of sins and to
strengthen our union with Him and one another.
Our Lord invites to His table those who trust His words, repent of all sin, and
set aside any refusal to forgive and love as He forgives and loves us, that
they may show forth His death until He comes.
Because those who eat and drink our Lord’s body and blood unworthily do
so to their great harm and because Holy Communion is a confession of the
faith which is confessed at the Altar, any who are not yet instructed, in doubt
or who hold a confession differing from that of Grace and The Lutheran
Church - Missouri Synod, and yet desire to receive the Sacrament, are
asked first to speak with the Pastor or an Elder.
GLUTEN FREE WAFERS
Please notify an Elder, Pastor Majeski or Pastor Mike before service, if you are in need of Gluten Free wafers. Thank you!

CONFERENCE ROOM BIBLE STUDY The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus, by John R. Cross, gives a solid overview of the main message of the Bible. It ties together key Old and New Testament stories to reveal the identity of God and the nature of sin, all the time answering two questions: “Who is Jesus?” and “What is the story of the cross and the tomb all about?” It helps a person understand clearly the main message of Bible.
Where: Conference Room Time: Sundays at 9:45am Facilitator: Kevin Hendricks
SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY
SANCTUARY BIBLE STUDY - Resumes today Sunday, January 5, 2020
The Book of Revelation - We are revisiting the last book of the Bible, Revelation, from last spring. Nothing further would be by God until the second coming of Jesus Christ. Revelation is the culmination of the entire story of salvation contained in the Bible. It draws all of revelation to its final goal: the exalted reign of Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords and the fulfillment of the promise of the new heaven and earth. You are invited to join us on Sunday morning, as we explore the who, what, where, when and why of God’s Word to us in the book of Revelation.
Place: Sanctuary Time: Sundays at 9:45am Facilitator: Pastor Mike Phillips
