THE
LORD’S SUPPER at
St. Paul Lutheran Church is administered in accordance with the Holy Scriptures
and the Lutheran Confessions. It is
celebrated in the confidence that we receive – in, with and under the
consecrated bread and wine – our Savior’s true Body and Blood for the
forgiveness of our sins. All who commune
at this altar are making this public confession of the faith that we believe
and teach as is written in the Holy Scriptures.
If you are not a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church and yet desire to
receive the Sacrament, please speak with the Pastor before the worship service.
