Welcome From Pastor Lane I’m glad that you are here! As God’s
Church, we are a family under the Lordship of Jesus Christ! There are many blessings in belonging to God’s family!
I want to encourage you to be here in The House of the Lord for worship and urge you to invite your friends, family, neighbors, and/or co-workers to come and be a part of Our Church and Academy Family!
Our Welcome Center is in the lobby, please visit! Available are large print bulletins, Portals of Prayer Devotions, prayer request sheets, and more information on OSLC & Academy. If you have prayer concerns, our Stephen Ministers, wearing blue badges, are happy to pray with you regarding any concerns following worship. Please fill out the red friendship tablet at the end of the pew so we can get to know you better. It’s also a great place to write your prayer requests and/or ask questions. Welcome! We

CELEBRATING THE LORD’S SUPPER Do you believe that you receive the TRUE/REAL BODY & BLOOD of Christ in, with, and under the bread and wine for the full pardon of sins? This is what the Lutheran Church believes. COMMUNION PRACTICE: The Biblical foundation for our practice may be found in Matt. 26:26-28, Mark 14:22-24, Luke 22:19-20, 1 Cor. 11:23-30. Christ has given Holy Communion as a spiritual blessing to His Church. In order to be responsible in sharing God’s gift of Christ and His forgiveness in the Sacrament, our practice is to commune individuals who are baptized and instructed in the Christian faith, normally in the fellowship of a sister Lutheran congregation, and share unity in what we believe, teach, and practice about the Lord’s Supper. If you have answered “no” or don’t know the answer to this question, we respectfully ask that you await discussion with the Pastor before receiving Holy Communion for the first time. Thank you for your consideration. If you are not communing, but would like a blessing, please come forward and just fold your hands.
