ANNOUNCEMENTS & EVENTS T he L ord ’ s S upper The Lord’s Supper will be on Sunday evening, November 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). Our next scheduled Lord’s Supper will be observed on December 3 in the evening service.
