HOLY COMMUNION:  Keep on doing this. When Jesus said, “Do this”, in giving the Lord’s Supper, He used a verb form which means, “Keep on doing this”, or, “Do it again and again!”. As we keep on doing what He has here commanded us to do, we also want to keep on witnessing to the truth of His Word.  For this reason, the churches of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod promise to follow the historical Biblical practice of closed communion. Guests who desire to commune are kindly asked to speak with the Pastor before partaking, or cross their arms across the chest at the rail to receive a blessing.
