The Lord’s Supper
Receiving the Lord’s Supper
The Lord’s Supper is celebrated at Our Savior in the confession and glad confidence that, as Jesus says, our Lord gives into our mouths not only bread and wine but His very body and blood to eat and to drink for the forgiveness of our sins, life, and salvation.
The Lord’s Supper is Jesus’ gift to His Church. It strengthens us in faith toward God and in fervent love toward one another. However, the Scriptures warn us that one who eats and drinks the Sacrament unworthily will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. (1 Corinthians 11:27) For this reason, Our Savior Lutheran Church observes the traditional practice of Closed Communion.
The Lord’s Supper is offered each week at the following Divine Services:
Sundays at 8:00 am & 10:45 am
Mondays at 7:00 pm
Anyone who would like to commune and is not a member in good standing of this congregation is asked to speak with the pastor prior to the Divine Service.

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
