Preparing for the Lord’s Supper
We believe that the Sacrament of Holy Communion is a gift from
Jesus Christ to His Church. However, all who receive this gift must
first examine themselves concerning matters of Biblical faith and
Godly living. A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the
bread and drinks of the cup. 1 Corinthians 11:28
Therefore, prior to celebrating Holy Communion, we ask that you
prayerfully consider the following:
 Do I believe that I am a sinner without hope of eternal life
except for God’s mercy offered through death and
resurrection of His son, Jesus Christ?
 Do I repent of my sins in thought, word and behavior?
 Do I believe that Jesus Christ is God’s Son and my personal
Savior?
 Do I believe that Jesus Christ is personally and physically
present in the sacrament of Holy Communion with His
Body and His Blood?
 Do I desire by the power of the Holy Spirit and the
instruction of God’s Word to love a life pleasing to Him?
We believe your “Yes!” to these questions affirms a common faith
with confirmed Lutheran Christians and is your invitation to our
Lord’s Table of Holy Communion. We encourage non-communing
children to accompany their parents for a personal blessing. For
those who choose not to receive wine, white grape juice is available
at the center of each communion tray.
Nursery
For your convenience, our Nursery is available to care for your
little ones, ages either weeks to three years old, during the 9:30 and
11:00 worship services. It is located on the upper level at the back
of the Worship Center. There is also a Parent’s Room at the back of
the Worship Center. Contact Nursery Coordinator, Tammy Latimer,
at 402-547-3553 for more information.
Sunday, July 13, 2014, 9:30 and 11:00 AM
Our lives revolve around three things: relationships, experiences,
and decisions. As parents, the temptation is to prioritize
experiences over the quality of relationships. Most of our
experiences and decisions were impacted by our relationships.
We need to do everything we can to enhance our child's
relationship with us, influence our child's relationship with those
outside the home, and advance our child's relationship with God.
