Preaching of the Word            Pastor Neal Ganzel

Today:  “The End of Jerusalem?”

Text: As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace–but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”  ^NIVO  Luke 19:41-44

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 and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. He then distributes the grape juice and matzoth to the congregation by the hands of the Ruling Elders of the church. We partake of the elements together under his direction.
