THE SACRAMENT OF THE LORD’S SUPPER
Our pastor administers the Lord’s table, prayerfully setting the elements apart to their holy use as that which focuses our worship on the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ.
He distributes the grape juice and matzoth to the congregation
by the hands of a Ruling Elder of our church, after which we all partake of the elements as one body of Christ.
