ANNOUNCEMENTS & EVENTS
The Lord ’ s Supper The Lord ’ s Supper will be observed during our evening service on March 5 . Because of the exceptional blessing we have in this sacrament and the danger of eating and drinking unworthily , it is necessary that we come to it with knowledge , faith , repentance , love and with hungering and thirsting souls after Christ and His benefits . The congregation is encouraged to use all appointed means , public and private , to come to the Lord ’ s Table , depending upon God for the gracious preparation of the heart according to His promise ( Psalm 10:17 ). The next Lord ’ s Supper will be held on Sunday morning , April 2 , 2017 .
