HOLY COMMUNION

Please note that we commune only those who are communicant members of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Although we long to share this precious gift with you, we also recognize that where one receives the Sacrament outwardly, this also identifies that person’s confession of faith. If you desire to learn more

about our beliefs, pleases speak to Pastor.

PRAYERS: Zoe, Ron, Brenda, Braden, Sherrie, Luella,

Rodger, Joe Deppe, Melody, Bruce Robb,

all those ill or recovering from Covid-19
