PRAYERS
The Lord’s Supper
At St. John we believe God gives us Holy Communion for the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26:26–28) and the deepening of our relationship with Him and also each other. All who share in our profession of the Christian faith are encouraged to partake in Holy Communion provided they:
• have received Christian Baptism (Acts 2:36–38),• recognize and confess their sinfulness (Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:8–9),• forgive others (Matthew 5:21–24; Matthew 6:12) and• believe the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ are truly
present, offered under forms of bread and wine (1 Corinthians 10:16; 1 Corinthians 11:27–29).
For questions about Communion or for parents of children wishing to receive Holy Communion (who have not yet received Lord’s Supper instruction), please speak with a pastor after the service. You may also go to stjstl.net/communion for further study.
Note: Non-alcoholic wine is offered in the blue section of the communion trays and gluten-free wafers are also available at all communion stations for those with special needs.
