Sunday Worship:
As we do not have pulpit supply available for the midweek services this year, we have been invited by Christ Lutheran Church in Milford (620 General Motors Rd., Milford, MI) to attend their services each Wednesday during Lent beginning with the Ash Wednesday Service on March 5 and continuing each Wednesday through April 9 at 7:00pm.
The theme of their services will be:
The Miraculous Signs of Jesus in the
Gospel of John
They also have Lenten Dinners before the service at 5:30pm, which we are all invited to attend. There is a free-will offering.
If you live more toward Waterford and would like to attend services at Peace Lutheran Church in Waterford (7390 Elizabeth Lake Rd., Waterford, MI), they also have services at 7:00pm each Wednesday during Lent.
The theme of their services will be:
Following Jesus, our Greatest Giver!
We pray for your understanding as our search for a new pastor continues.
The Lord’s Supper is celebrated at this congregation in the confession and glad confidence that the crucified and resurrected Jesus gives into our mouths his very body and blood for the forgiveness of sins and to strengthen our union with him and one another.
We believe that God gives specific directions about who should receive the sacrament.
Our Lord Jesus invites to his table those who trust in his words (John 14:6), repent of all sin (1 Cor. 11:28, 1 John 1:9-10), and set aside any refusal to forgive and love as He forgives and loves us (Matt. 5:23-24, 6:14-15), that they may show forth his death until He comes (1 Cor. 11:26). Because those who eat and drink our Lord’s body and blood unworthily do so to their great harm (1 Cor. 11:27-32) and because Holy Communion is a confession of the faith which is confessed at this altar (Acts 2:42, 1 Cor. 10:17-18), we ask before anyone communes with our community of Christians called Faith Lutheran Church of Highland, MI, to first study Scripture with us and to make a public profession of faith.
We do not want to put you in a position of stating your agreement with our teachings and confession without knowing what we teach and confess.
