Our love and congratulations are extended to our dear sister Audrey Ermakovich, who turned 80
years-old this past week.
Visitors at the Lord’s Supper
We are delighted you have joined us to worship the Lord today. We hope and trust that
the Lord will richly bless you as we call upon His name together. At the conclusion of our
service, we are celebrating the "Lord's Supper," or "communion." In 1 Corinthians 11:2729, the apostle Paul issues a strong warning: "Whoever...eats the bread or drinks the cup
of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the
Lord...Anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks
judgment on himself." For this reason, throughout history, out of love and concern for
those present in the congregation, churches have developed some kind of guidelines
regarding who would be welcome to partake of the Lord's Supper.
If you wish to partake with us today, you must either 1) be a professing member, not
currently under church discipline, of a fellow URCNA congregation; or 2) have received
from our pastor or one of our elders, before the worship service today, specific
permission to partake. A pastor or elder is available in the sanctuary foyer within a halfhour before the service to grant such permission. You may also call the church office
during the week at (909) 986-9889 to contact one of them. We realize you may not have
been aware of these guidelines in time to speak with one of us before the service today.
Please know that we appreciate your patience with us until we have the opportunity to
come to know you better as a like-minded believer, and to ensure that we share the
biblical understanding of the Lord's Supper.
If it turns out that we are yet unable to commune together, please also know that we
are not saying that you are not our brother or sister in the Lord, nor are we saying that
you would be partaking in an "unworthy manner" or "eating and drinking judgment on
yourself" if we did commune together. But given the weightiness of the apostle Paul's
warning, we sense a responsibility even to err on the side of caution. Please feel free to
speak with our pastor or any of our elders about these matters, as we would be happy to
try and answer any questions you may have.
