The Heidelberg Catechism Question 86

We have been delivered from our misery by God’s grace alone throughChrist and not because we have earned it: why then must we still dogood?

To be sure, Christ has redeemed us with his blood. But we do goodbecause Christ by his Spirit is also renewing us to be like himself, sothat in all our living we may show that we are thankful to God for all hehas done for us, and so that he may be praised through us. And we dogood so that we may be assured of our faith by its fruits, and so that byour godly living our neighbors may be won over to Christ.

A Children’s Communion class, which is designed to helpelementary-aged children understand the meaning of thissacrament, will be offered again this spring, March 12 & 19. Those interested should write their name and contact info on theirWelcome Card.
