WORSHIP
OUR SAVIOR LUTHERAN
LUTHERAN’S WORSHIP SERVICE !
Celebra:ng the Lord’s Supper at OSLC: Do you believe that you receive the TRUE/REAL BODY & BLOOD of Christ in, under, and with the bread and wine for the full pardon of sins? This is what the Lutheran Church believes. Our Communion Practice: Christ has given Holy Communion as a spiritual blessing to His Church. In order to be responsible in sharing God’s gift of Christ and His forgiveness in the Sacrament, our practice is to commune individuals who are instructed in the Christian faith, normally in the fellowship of a sister Lutheran congregation, and share unity in what we believe, teach, and practice about the Lord’s Supper. If you have answered “no” or don’t know the answer to this question, we respectfully ask that you await discussion with the Pastor before receiving Holy Communion for the first time. Thank you for your consideration. !
If you are not communing, but would like a blessing, please come forward and just keep your hands folded at the communion rail.
Crown Him With Many Crowns Christ The Lord Mighty To Save !
