INTIMATE SACRAMENT:  We continue to celebrate the Lord’s Supper every week for those who have not been able to commune in some time, in the glad confidence and confession, that our Lord, as He says, gives not only bread and wine, but His very body and blood to eat and drink for the forgiveness of sin.  In these pandemic times, we have instituted as much as possible the physical distancing and sanitation practices to assure your physical safety, while still providing Christ for your physical/spiritual/emotional/psychological safety against sin, death, and the devil. If you do not share in this confession of our congregation and LC-Missouri Synod, or are not yet instructed, or have doubts – please speak to the pastor first. Or, you are invited to come to the rail for a blessing and meditate on God’s Word during the distribution, praying for the day when divisions will have ceased.
