Authentic Christ-Centered Worship, Study, and Sometimes Just Plain Silliness!

Communion Frequency
The Sacrament of the Altar is joyfully and thankfully offered here every Sunday, on all major festivals, and at various other minor festivals when we are able to gather during the week. In line with the New Testament Church and our Lutheran forefathers, we believe that the Sacrament was a regular and major feature of congregational worship, and not an occasional extra (Acts 2:42; 20:7; 1 Cor. 11:20,33). In Reformation times our churches celebrated the Sacrament 'every Sunday and on other festivals.'(Apology XXIV 1)." They did so because of their great awareness of just what the Sacrament is, and the fact that this had been the common practice instituted by Christ who said, "Do this often...." Unless there is some serious spiritual reason preventing our communing, we believe that we should receive the Sacrament whenever it is offered to us, primarily because we understand our need for the forgiveness it bestows.
