"('WHAT'), 'WHO', AND 'WHOSE' IS THE CHURCH?"

January and February are the Sundays of the Epiphany season in the church. In worship we visit the Holy Stories of Jesus calling his disciples. Epiphany is also a time of reflection, as we retell the Holy Story of the wisemen coming from afar and following the star to Jesus' birth. In the month of January I will be sharing a 6 part Sermon Series entitled, "('What'), 'Who', and 'Whose' Is The Church?" Worship with us as we track the vision and symbols of the church in the Bible. As we pray, sing songs of faith, worship, and study these teachings together there is a sense that this will help Our Savior's clarify the image and vision of church that God has planted in the hearts and minds of our church members here.

If you're worshipping with us on-line, we'd like to extend to you an invitation to participate in the sacrament of Holy Communion with us during our live-stream. Here's How:

Before the service, simply prepare elements for communion to have ready...perhaps some bread from the pantry, or some crackers, as well as a small amount of wine or grape juice poured into individual small glasses or cups. Have these set aside for when the service begins. When the words of institution are proclaimed over the bread and wine on the altar, know that those words and the promise they bear ("given and shed FOR YOU") are proclaimed and prayed over the elements in your home. If you are worshipping alone in your home, commune yourself with us. If there are two or more of you gathered in front of the screen, commune each other with the same words:"The body of Christ, given for you. The blood of Christ, shed for you." If there are young children with you, mark the sign of the cross on their foreheads and remind them that Jesus loves them and forgives them all of their sins. As you share the meal, be assured that you're sharing it with all of those physically gathered, as well as with others gathering with you on-line. We pray this opportunity will be a strength and comfort to you, as you receive Jesus' presence through the sacrament.
