COMMUNION STATEMENT

In the fullness of time, The Word became flesh and dwelt among us full of grace and truth. Until the end of time, His grace is still given to us as He promised it in the Lord’s Supper. As we receive His gift today, we would ask guests who desire to commune to speak with the pastor before the ser-vice. In joyful obedience to the teaching of Scripture, we practice close communion.

STEWARDSHIP BIBLE VERSE FOR JANUARY 5, 2020

Luke 2:49 – “And he said to them, ‘Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?’ ” What a privilege the Lord has given to us by calling us to come to His house! It is not a bur-den but rather an honor and a blessing for us to always be able to come to a place where we know God is present for us in His gifts of Word and Sacra-ment. Likewise, the Lord has honored us by allowing us to support the work of His house with our tithes and offerings.

MEMORIALS and THANK OFFERINGS

NEW YEAR’S EVE: 7:00 — 29 HC — 28
