Not A Normal Sunday

Annual Communion Service
This Sunday, March 8th, 2020
5:00-7:00PM

Our annual Communion Service is this Sunday. We do this once a year on Daylight Savings Sunday. You get 7 extra hours of sleep. Our morning service is canceled and we gather in the evening for a feast punctuated by the remembrance of the death of Jesus Christ.

4 Reasons to Eagerly Participate

1. A helpful focus on a regular practice. We take communion on Sundays more often than not. That regularity can dim its significance. Highlighting it for one evening reminds us what a privilege it is to partake.

2. An opportunity to make new friends. You’ll have an opportunity to sit with people you may not know. You’ll have time to hear their story and share yours. It’s a simple but wonderful way to love your neighbors.

3. It’s good for your soul. God feeds us at the communion table. He has given us the Lord’s Supper as a means of grace to nourish our souls.

4. It only works if you’re there. The church is the people of God. Our meetings only work if you’re there. Though this requires a schedule change on your Sunday, do all you can to be there with us.

The meal is a potluck. Everyone is contributing. Find out what to bring here and email the church office with any questions.

For those of you wondering about sharing germs, we’ll be drinking from individual cups and our bread will be pre-cut.

We Gathered Around Jesus

"For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. "
1 Corinthians 11:26

Community in Christ is Beautiful

Thank you for making our 2018 Communion Service a success. Friendships were built. Food was eaten. Songs were sung. And most of all, Jesus was celebrated and adored. A special thanks to those who served by cooking, setting up, and tearing down.

A Song To Get You Ready For The Communion Service

Our annual Communion Service is this Sunday. All the details are here.

We Gather Around Jesus

This service provides a unique opportunity for us to celebrate the gospel. As a family, we gather around Jesus, the Sacrificial Lamb who laid down His life for us. Our feast this Sunday will be a faint echo of the great feast that is coming at the end of time. A feast that Jesus paid for with His own blood. An unending feast that will be unmatched in joy.

The song above pictures this reality. Listen to it as a way to prepare your heart for our time together this weekend. 

COME TO THE FEAST

Verse 1
Go to the highways and hedges
Go to the furthest of fields
Go and compel the sick and the well
Our Father's house will be filled

Verse 2
Go to the streets of the city
Bring in the crippled and blind
All who would taste this banquet of grace
Must come and waste no more time

Chorus
Come to the feast
Come to the table
The great and the least
The rich and the poor
Come to the feast
Come to the table
Come and hunger no more

Verse 3
In the robe of the Lamb you'll be covered
Dressed in His pure righteousness
For all of your guilt His blood it was spilt
So come by your Father be blessed
