Message Notes

The Lord's Supper is a participation in the emblems of the body and blood of Jesus as an expression of faith in Him, our Lord and Savior. In this experience of communion Christ is present to meet and strengthen His people. As we partake, we joyfully proclaim the Lord's death until He comes again. Preparation for the Supper includes self-examination, repentance, and confession. The Master ordained the service of foot-washing to signify renewed cleansing, to express a willingness to serve one another in Christlike humility, and to unite our hearts in love. The communion service is open to all believing Christians.

(Matt. 26:17-30; John 6:48-63; 13:1-17; 1 Cor. 10:16, 17; 11:23-30; Rev. 3:20.)


Following the Lord's Example of Foot Washing

Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash on another's feet. John 13:14

To participate in foot washing, please go the following rooms.
Families in the Fellowship Hall;
Women in the Classroom adjacent to kitchen;
Men in the Youth room.
You may also remain quietly in the sanctuary.


Celebrating Communion at the Lord's Table

As the bread and juice is served, please take the opportunity to serve one another. As the deacon or deaconess hands you the tray with the emblems on it, please carefully serve the person next to you.  Communion emphasizes service. Of course, if you need help, we will provide assistance.

We celebrate an open communion, which means that all who are old enough to understand what it means to accept Jesus as their Savior are invited to partake in communion. You do not have to be an official member of the Adventist Church to partake in communion.

The Bread
And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." Luke 22:19

The Cup
In the same way, after supper he took the cup, Saying, "This cup in the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."  1 Cor. 11:25

In Our Prayers

Alfonso Hoffman: Mike Garcia's 11 year old nephew was diagnosed with lymphoma. Remember him in prayer as he goes through treatments.

This Week is Communion. This Sabbath we will be reminded of what Jesus had done for us as we partake of the Lord Supper. This special service creates an intimate encounter with Jesus which provides us an opportunity to recommit our lives to Him.

Next Week the sermon is The Jesus Message. While religion can come with many complicated and confusing messages, Jesus' message was simple as he said, "I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved" (John 10:9).  Today's message will be an important one to make sure our faith is centered on Christ and Christ alone.



Remember our Church Budget. We are running a negative balance. We appreciate your faithfulness.

Vacation Bible School is July 18-22. If you would like to help, please talk to Bill or Linda. We need kitchen volunteers to prepare the food and clean up. Also, please sign up to bring some food in the foyer. Thanks!

The flowers today are for Grant's birthday from the Fishers.
