receive the sacrament of baptism.
Next Week is Communion Sunday: January 12, 2020
Anticipate: next week’s gathering. Look forward in
expectation to the sharing that will take place. Live this
week in a way that heightens your awareness of your
need for Christ and your hope in His grace.
Participate: in the gathering. Remember that “being
together” is an expression of being the Body of Christ
for the world. In a time of isolation and aloneness, a
community gathers to share this event together.
Celebrate: our Lord’s victory over sin and death.
Christ has come to make all things new. Share the meal
that reminds us that Christ’s Kingdom has come-and is
still to come.
“All covenant children are invited to participate in communion at the
discretion of their parents. Parents are strongly encouraged to talk to
their children about the meaning of communion in an age-appropriate manner.”
