Guests desiring to commune are asked to speak with the pastor before coming to the rail or are asked to hold their hands crossed against themselves and receive a Word of blessing from the Lord. Our communion liturgy recognizes the eternal community of heaven (angels and archangels and all the company of heaven). We believe that our praise is joined with those who have gone before us in the faith. As Jesus gives us His body and blood today, we look forward to that day when, with all the saints, we will receive pleasures at God’s right hand, forevermore! At that time, it will not be necessary to witness the truth of God’s Word, however, as that time is not yet, such a witness must still be given today. Therefore, out of love for God’s Word and for God’s people, we employ the historic practice of doctrinal examination and closed communion. Thank you for respecting this practice and a blessed and Christ filled day to each of you!

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.
