Disciples’ Generous Response

Message of Faith

Invitation to Communion

All are welcome at Christ’s table. The Lord’s Supper, or Communion, is a sacrament in which we remember the life, death, resurrection, and continuing presence of Jesus Christ. In Community of Christ, we also experience Communion as an opportunity to renew our baptismal covenant and to be formed as disciples who live Christ’s mission. Others might have different or added understandings within their faith traditions. We invite all who participate in the Lord’s Supper to do so in the love and peace of Jesus Christ.

*Sending Forth

“Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace. It is so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times. Go forth in the faithful confidence of God’s grace and mercy.”

We welcome our guests and visitors today. Please come worship with us again!
