Sacrament Of The Lord’s Supper This Sunday
This Sunday we are celebrating the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. Communion is a special act of worship when we remember Jesus’ giving of His life for us, His special presence in this meal, and our looking forward to His physical return at which time we celebrate the marriage supper together. Those who have been baptized and have made a profession of faith and have entered into communion with Christ in the visible church are invited to participate.

Catechism Corner
Q. 35. How is the covenant of grace administered under the New Testament?
A. Under the New Testament, when Christ the substance was exhibited, the same covenant of grace was and still is to be administered in the preaching of the Word, and the administration of the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper; in which grace and salvation are held forth in more fulness, evidence, and efficacy, to all nations. (Westminster Larger Catechism)
TableTalk Moment
Our Enemy The World: “We must be in the world and yet not of the world (John 17: 14-16). That is, we do not withdraw into a closed community of Christians but form our affections by the Word of God in the church and then go into the world with the gospel, able to resist the world in the power of the Holy Spirit.” (September 26, page 58).
Short Items
Sunday School: This Sunday at 9:30am in the Camellia Room, we will continue our new study in the Book of Daniel. Our topic for Sunday will be, “Through The Fire,” covering Daniel 3. We will see a comparison and contrast between the four faithful exiles in the fiery furnace and our Lord and Savior on the cross. For background reading, look at Daniel 4 as well.
