FROM THE CONSISTORY OR COUNCIL
We welcome all visitors worshiping with us today. May God’s name be exalted as we worship together. The order of our worship service is printed on the back of the bulletin.
This morning we celebrate the Lord’s Supper. Supervision is exercised over the sacrament, so that only those who are members of our congregation in good standing or those who have received special permission from the Consistory are allowed to partake of the sacrament. May we be made worthy partakers of the supper of our Lord.
The sermon this evening will be an applicatory sermon.
This Wednesday marks the end of another year of catechism instruction (the Tuesday morning classes ended last week). Our children continue to do very well in catechism for which we give thanks and praise to our God. May our heavenly Father continue to cause our children to mature spiritually and to learn to use their gifts to the glory of His name and for the advantage and salvation of His covenant people.
The baptism of Jake Robert, infant son of Dan and Sheila Blankespoor, is scheduled to take place during the morning service on May 22.
The date for the Lord’s Supper in July has been changed from July 17 to July 24 because the week prior to July 17 our pastor will be out of town to attend the 60th wedding anniversary of Margaret’s parents.
