2.  The invitation to communion comes from Christ Himself and not from any church. Therefore, we invite anyone who believes in Jesus Christ, has trusted Him for the forgiveness of sin, and who accepts Him as Lord and Savior to share in this sacrament with us. However, the call to communion is a call to repentance and humility; it is an invitation to partake in the body and blood of Christ, and it should not be taken lightly. Therefore, young people and adults who do not have a personal, saving faith in Jesus Christ, or who harbor willful, unconfessed sin, as well as ALL young children SHOULD NOT TAKE COMMUNION at this time. If you have questions about the meaning of communion, or your relationship to Christ, you are invited to talk with the pastor. WELCOME TO CHRIST ALIVE!

Where Christian faith exists, there God’s congregation arises and lives in the world and for the world.” ~Karl Barth Prayer Requests: Brandt Family David Jones—Mother-in-Law Passed away Karen Yemm The McQuellon and Follis Family Wade & Jolene Miller & Family Shirley Kelstadt & Family Troy B.

Scripture: ” We all growl like bears; like doves we moan mournfully. We wait for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far from us.” … He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head; he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and wrapped himself in fury as in a mantle.
