Holy Communion at Faith

Receiving the gift of the Lord’s Supper is to receive the holy, crucified, resurrected, and ascended Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ in, with, and under bread and wine. Therefore, to receive the Lord’s Supper is a confession that all who receive it in one place are united in holding to all of the doctrines of God’s Word (see 1 Cor 10:17; 11:26).

Therefore, those who do not know or hold to the doctrinal commitment of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod are requested to attend the Adult Instruction Class for membership before communing at Faith Lutheran Church.

 

And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood."
Luke22:19-20
The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.
1 Corinthians10:16-17
Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”
John6:54-58
