DO YOU KNOW what the elders are to do
with the remaining consecrated body/blood (reliquia)? Even though we do
not believe as the Roman Catholics - that it continues to be His body and blood
outside of the Lord's Supper - we do want to respectfully care for the elements
that were used. Do they have a separate vessel to keep them in? Do
they pour them on the ground and not the sewer? And so on. Because of
this, there have been many debates and conflicts over the past 500 years of
when it becomes the body and blood, when it ceases, and everything in
between. So, to avoid any consternation, you will sometimes see me (if
there is not much left) simply do what it was consecrated for (the eating and
drinking)…and consume what is left. If you see this happen, please don't
be alarmed, it is an ancient practice of the Church, and we are trying to ease
consciences for the sake of the Gospel..- Pastor Makelin
PLEASE SEE THE LATEST REPORTER in the wire rack in the narthex for information on Harvey and Irma relief
and long-term aid, as well as other official news from the Lutheran Church
Missouri Synod.
ORPHAN GRAIN TRAIN is seeking donations (online
donations are being matched by Thrivent Financial to certain limits) to help
with the relief efforts from Hurricane Harvey to ease the suffering of
countless people, As an understanding of the enormous catastrophic effects of
Harvey, it is a much wider area than when New Orleans was hit by Katrina and
water was up to the belly of planes parked at the airport fifty miles from the
coast! Please find the letter posted on the bulletin board on how you can
donate.
SEE BULLETIN BOARD for information concerning
the annual bazaar of our sister congregation at First Lutheran Church Sioux
City on November 4th from 9-3pm. The theme is "The Gift of Christmas".
