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.
