Sunday School
All are welcome to attend Sunday School immediately
following worship this morning; classes are available for
both children and adults. The children’s class meets in the
chapel and the adult class in the adjacent gathering room.
Holy Communion
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
