NEXT WEEK we have the privilege of celebrating the Lord's Supper, served by the elders in the pews. In the scriptures we are called to examine ourselves before partaking, so that we do not eat and drink judgment upon ourselves. (1 Cor 11:28-29) In light of this every member is asked to spend time this week reflecting on our sin and need for Jesus, and how Jesus is calling us to find our faith, hope and love in him. The bread is gluten free.
