Regarding Communion:  The Lutheran Church teaches and believes that the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ are truly present in, with and under the forms of bread and wine.  Trusting God's word of promise, in faith, we receive the forgiveness of sins, life and salvation as we participate in this holy meal.  If you share in this faith, you are invited and encouraged to participate with us in receiving the Lord's Supper.
