Pastor - We remember that on the night of betrayal and desertion and on the eve of death, Jesus gathered His disciples for the feast of Passover. Jesus took bread, and after giving thanks to You, broke it saying, "this is my body which is for you, do this remembrance of me. In the same way also the cup, after supper saying, "this cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.
The bread which we break is the communion of the body of Christ. The cup of blessing which we bless is the communion of the blood of Christ. The gifts of God for the people of God. Come, for all things are ready.

This site now features a dedicated Elections section where you can find comprehensive information about the upcoming elections, including voter eligibility, open leadership positions, important dates, election procedures, and more.
The Sustainability & Growth Committee has worked diligently to provide clear, straightforward information and answer many of the questions members may have.

We'll be happy to assist you.Join us next Sunday, August 9, immediately following the worship service for a brief "Get It Done!" session designed to help members prepare for the upcoming elections.
