For you have been called to live in freedom.<br />
Galatians 5:13
From the Pastor<br />
Dear Church family,<br />
Need Communion at Home?<br />
Holy Communion, also known as The Lord's Supper or Holy Eucharist, is one of the principle ways that<br />
believers draw near to God and connect with the presence of Christ in a mysterious way. In it we re-affirm<br />
the covenant that was sealed in our baptism.<br />
Like the manna, the mysterious bread, that fed the Israelites and sustained them for 40 years in the<br />
wilderness, so Jesus Christ uses the bread and wine of Holy Communion to sustain the people of his church,<br />
and share his presence, and the life-changing power of his body and blood with us.<br />
Bringing communion to the homes of Church members is one of the ministries that the Church has offered<br />
from very early days. Those who are sick, hospitalized, or home-bound; those nearing death, or preparing<br />
for a long journey; those blessing a new home, or anyone who for whatever reason would like to receive<br />
this Sacrament of Jesus Christ, are encouraged to contact the church office to arrange a time for me to bring<br />
the Lord's Supper to you. This is not an inconvenience, but a joy and a ministry that pastors and church<br />
leaders have been doing for almost 2000 years.<br />
Whether at church on Sunday, or some other time, I hope to break bread with you soon.<br />
May the Lord Jesus Christ bless and keep you+<br />
-Rev. Daniel<br />
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors<br />
and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of<br />
Christ may be built up. Ephesians 4:11-12

LORD, Please walk beside me through this day. Clear the heavy air with the lightness of Your Presence.<br />
Guide my hands and steady my heart that I may give comfort when I cannot give hope, that I may give<br />
relief when I do not have a cure, and that I may radiate Your healing peace when the limits of science,<br />
time, and the human body overwhelm. Amen.
