HOLY COMMUNION is
celebrated in our worship service today. What a joy and privilege!
In this Sacrament our Lord gives unto us not only bread and wine, but also His very
body and blood to eat and drink. In this Sacrament He assures us that our
sins are forgiven and He strengthens our faith. To our guests who desire
to receive Holy Communion, we ask that you consider the following: If you
do not believe in Jesus as your Savior, do not believe in the Real Presence of
the Sacrament, or have never received instruction on how to prepare yourself
for Communion, you should refrain from receiving the Sacrament, but are
encouraged to come to the altar for a blessing, indicated by folding the arms
over the chest. We do this not to offend, but to honor the faith we hold
at St. Paul Lutheran. If you have any questions regarding communion,
please speak to the Pastor or an Elder before service begins.
