Prayer Before Worship
O God, the Protector of all who trust in you, without whom nothing is
strong and nothing is holy, increase and multiply your mercy on us that
with you as our Ruler and Guide we may so pass through things temporal
that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
forever. Amen!

THE LORD’S SUPPER
Here our Lord gives to us His own Body and Blood
for the forgiveness of all our sins
Our Grace Family celebrates The Lord’s Supper on the 1st
and 3rd
Sundays of the month, confessing that our Lord feeds us with His
very body and blood for our forgiveness.
Please read carefully:
The Lord’s Supper is celebrated at Grace in the confession and glad confidence
that, as He says, our Lord gives into our mouths not only bread and wine but
His very body and blood to eat and to drink for the
forgiveness of sins and to strengthen our union with Him and one another.
Our Lord invites to His table those who trust His words, repent of all sin, and
set aside any refusal to forgive and love as He forgives and loves us, that
they may show forth His death until He comes.
Because those who eat and drink our Lord’s body and blood unworthily do
so to their great harm and because Holy Communion is a confession of the
faith which is confessed at the Altar, any who are not yet instructed, in doubt
or who hold a confession differing from that of Grace and The
Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, and yet desire to receive the
Sacrament, are asked first to speak with the Pastor or an Elder.
