Those who are baptized and believe that Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, is truly present in, with, and under the forms of bread and wine for the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation, are welcome to the Lord’s Table. Please let the pastor know you wish to receive this gift of life by holding out your open hands. Receive the wafer, move to one of the servers and dip the wafer into the wine, then partake. You are encouraged to bring young children forward for a blessing. The sign for a blessing is folded hands.

SHARE THE WARMTH During the season of Advent, Grace will join with Nazareth to collect coats for the needy. Clean, gently used coats, jackets and sweater-jackets of all sizes are needed. Please set aside any you might have, and plant to bring them to Sunday morning worship at Grace or to the Advent services in December.
ANNOUNCEMENTS Our organist, Steve Holland, serves another church following our service. In order to give him time to travel, it would be helpful to keep our announcement time to a minimum. Announcements may be provided to Debra Voigt ([email protected] or 336-408-8046) by Tuesday each week for inclusion in the bulletin. Brief oral announcements may be made prior to the service.
GRIEFSHARE Community members who have experienced the death of a loved one are invited to attend these sessions at Clemmons United Methodist Church on Monday evenings from 7- 8:30 PM now through November 26th (New sessions begin again on January 21, 2019). Many grieving people find that they are only beginning to heal when friends and family have returned to their daily lives. Attending GriefShare will give you the opportunity to learn valuable information, be around people who are experiencing similar emotions and walk through grief in a healthy way. You are not alone. Questions? Contact: Ann Roth at (434)-251-0343 or [email protected].
WHAT IS A LUTHERAN? This month, Pastor Marty will be leading a Sunday school series in which we will explore what it means to be Lutheran. Topics to be covered include the history of Lutheranism in the context of all of Christianity, an overview of the Book of Concord, and a review of Luther’s catechism. If this sounds like Confirmation revisited, it is! In order to give credible witness to our faith in the saving grace of Christ, we all need to have a solid understanding of what we believe. And most of us did not learn all we need to know about being Lutheran Christians in our early teenage years during Confirmation. Come join us on this journey!
YOU’VE GOT MAIL!
