Today: Peace Doesn’t Just Happen!
Text: And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me–put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. NIVO Philippians 4:7-9
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 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.
