Communion All are invited to the Lord’s table who have been baptized into a community of faith, are living at peace with God and with their brothers and sisters in the faith, and are willing to be accountable in their congregation. Celebrating the Lord’s Supper in this manner, the church looks forward in joy and hope to the feast of the redeemed with Christ in the age to come. Thank you to Nikki Slagell for providing the bread for communion today.
