Communion
We celebrate the Sacrament of Communion-the Lord’s Supper-in worship on the 1st Sunday of each month. In the Sacrament of Communion, we remember Christ’s death until He comes again. (1 Corinthians 11:26)
Communion is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, regardless of denominational affiliation or background. According to Scripture, we believe that the elements of Communion are symbolic; the bread represents Jesus’ body, broken for the sins of the world; the cup represents God’s new covenant with His people in Jesus’ blood, shed for the sins of the world. (Matt 26:26-30, Mark 14:22-25, 1 Corinthians 11:23-25)
The Sacrament of Communion is a joyful feast in which we embrace the hope of eternal life through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, which God offers freely to all who believe.
Upcoming Events
For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.
Matthew 18:20
Guess Who is Coming to Dinner
April 20th, 2024
The Fellowship Committee is sponsoring another “Guess Who is Coming to Dinner. It doesn’t matter if you are single, young, older, married etc. We want all to participate! This event will consist of dinners in member’s homes consisting of approximately 8 people. We will need members to volunteer as hosts. The Host will provide their home, the main course and bread. Participants will receive a postcard informing them of the address of the dinner and what part of the dinner they will bring, such as salad, vegetable, or dessert. The host will not know who is coming to their home, and the participants will not know whose home they are going to (unless you recognize the address), or who will also be at the dinner party. We think this will be a great and fun way to get to know others in our congregation. Look for a sign-up list in the foyer.
