COMMUNION STATEMENT
ADVENT means “coming”. Christ came in the flesh at Bethlehem, He comes now in word and sacrament, and He will come again in judgement. As we look forward to His final coming, we find our deepest joy and comfort in His present coming with His very body and blood for our forgiveness. As we receive the Lord’s Supper today, guests desiring to commune are asked to speak with the pastor before the service. For Scriptural reasons, we practice close communion.
STEWARDSHIP BIBLE VERSE FOR DECEMBER 15, 2019
Isaiah 35:4 – “Say to those who have an anxious heart, ‘Be strong; fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.’ ” The return of our Lord at the Last Day is a cause of joy and anticipation for us believers. We know our Lord and His love, and we look forward to His Second Advent. Indeed, how we live our lives here and now flows from our certain hope of resurrection and eternal life.
