MORNING WORSHIPThe Silent Meditation upon Entering the Sanctuary

You made us for Yourself, and our hearts are restless, until they can find rest in You. Augustine of Hippo (354-430)

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

John 14:27

Shepherd me, O God, beyond my wants, beyond my fears, from death into life. God is my shepherd, so nothing shall I want. I rest in the meadows of faithfulness and love. I walk by the quiet waters of peace. Refrain

Gently You raise me and heal my weary soul. You lead me by pathways of righteousness and truth. My spirit shall sing the music of Your name. Refrain

Though I should wander the valley of death, I fear no evil, for You are at my side. Your rod and Your staff, my comfort and my hope. Refrain

You have set me a banquet of love in the face of hatred, Crowning me with love beyond my pow’r to hold. Refrain

Surely Your kindness and mercy follow me all the days of my life. I will dwell in the house of my God forevermore. Refrain

The Lord’s Supper

The Invitation to and Fencing of the Table

Family of God, as we draw near to the Lord’s Supper to celebrate Holy Communion of the Body and Blood of Christ, let us be grateful and remember that our Lord instituted this sacrament as a perpetual reminder of His dying for our sakes and as a pledge of His undying love for us.

Therefore, Jesus bids us to come to Him in this sacrament in knowledge, faith, repentance, love, and with hearts hungering and thirsting for Him. If we are willingly and stubbornly living in sin, lacking peace in our relationships with others, secretly relying on our own good works for favor with God, then we are warned by God’s Word not to receive this sacrament. But all that are truly sorry for their sins and long to be delivered from the burden of them; all that are weary from brokenness and long to be filled with the life of Christ; all that are doubting and need the assuring embrace of God; all that humbly put their trust in Christ and desire His grace that they may lead a holy life; and all that are baptized members in an evangelical church are invited and encouraged in His name to join us in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. Let us therefore come that we be refreshed and find rest for our souls.

If you are not in a saving relationship with God through Christ today, do not take the bread and cup, but take Christ and receive Him in your heart as those around you receive the meal. Then, immediately following the service, come and tell a minister or one of our leaders what you have done so we can prepare you to receive communion next time as a child of God.
