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 that you
wish to receive this gift of life by holding out your open hands. If
you desire to drink the wine from the common cup, please
