T T THE LORD’S SUPPER VISITORS Welcome! The Sacrament of Christ’s Body and Blood is celebrated in the Divine Service. Participation in the Lord’s Supper indicates unity in faith (1 Corinthians 10:16-21). Visitors desiring to commune are asked to first speak with the Pastor. Ushers are available to arrange a meeting prior to the service. Parents who bring children to the altar to be blessed during the Lord’s Supper, to avoid spillage, please refrain from giving them the individual communion cup after you have communed. We give thanks to the Lord that you are here with us today! Please be sure to introduce yourself to the Pastor and to other members. Take a moment to sign the “Record of Fellowship” booklet located in your pew near the center aisle. If you don’t have a church home, please leave us with the appropriate information and we will contact you. We would be delighted to serve you at Our Savior! Witness “For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.” – 1 John 5:7-8 Mercy “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” – Mark 10:45 Life Together “God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” – 1 Corinthians 1:9 These phrases—Witness, Mercy, Life Together—illustrate how this church lives and works together to proclaim the Gospel and to provide for our brothers and sisters in Christ in our congregation, community and throughout the world. In this design, we see what is innate to our F2F1 (Faithful to the Faithful One) Mission, Vision, and Strategy. In all we do, Christ is at the center, leading us, sustaining us, keeping us focused on why Our Savior Evangelical Lutheran Church exists as a congregation. Please use this sheet to assist you in following the Order of Service printed in the hymnal.
