The Sacrament of Holy Communion
  The Understanding and Practice

Trinity Lutheran Church celebrates the Sacrament of Holy Communion each Sunday.  Our Lord invites to His table those who understand and believe what the Lord has taught us regarding this Sacrament, trust in His unchanging Word, repent of all sin, set aside any refusal to forgive and love as He forgives and loves us.  We believe in the “real presence” of Christ in this Sacrament, that is, we confess that Christ’s true body and blood are received by the communicants in and with the bread and wine.

The apostle Paul writes “…whoever eats the bread and drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 11:27-28).

In order to be responsible in sharing God’s gift of Christ and His forgiveness in this Sacrament, we invite members of Lutheran congregations in fellowship with the LCMS to partake of Christ’s body and blood with us.  If possible, we as that before communing for the first time you please speak with the Pastor.  Those not communing are invited to come forward to receive God’s blessing.

Those who wish to join this family of believers are invited to speak with the Pastor regarding transfer of membership, adult instruction, or completing our youth confirmation program.
