PASTORAL PRAYER

Preaching of the Word      Pastor Neal Ganzel

Today:  Well-Groomed Guests

Texts: Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

^NIVO Ephesians 4:15-16

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.
