Holy Communion Every first and third Sunday (see newsletter for exact dates), we celebrate Holy Communion. The Scriptures teach that Communion is a community event just as much as it is a very individual and personal gift of our Lord's Body and Blood received through the bread and the wine. For this reason, it is the duty of a congregation to make sure that everyone who receives Communion has been taught everything the Bible says about it so that each person can be properly prepared and receive that gift for blessing. If you would like to commune with us, your membership in our congregation or in a sister congregation assures us that you have received the necessary discipleship training. If you are not a member of our congregation or of a sister congregation, please make an appointment with the Pastor to receive instruction in what Holy Communion means so that you can commune with us at another time! Our sister Church, in the United States, the Missouri Synod, has a website that explains the very serious, privileged, and important nature of Holy Communion. Please click that link to learn more! Link to Missouri Synod There are several articles there that describe, in great detail, why Lutherans believe it's important to view Communion as an institution that requires spiritual preparation, one being "Admission to the Lord's Supper."
