Holy Cross Lutheran Church and School June 3 & 4, 2017

~ Day of Pentecost ~ Youth Weekend

WELCOME IN THE NAME OF CHRIST We pray that your faith will be strengthened through the Good News of the gift of salvation. Our mission at Holy Cross is to SHARE GOD’S LOVE THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST. Join us for fellowship in the Fellowship Hall fol-lowing the 8:15 a.m. service.

ATTENDANCE CARDS

Please sign the attendance cards located in the pew racks and pass them toward the center aisle.

CHILD CARE AND WORSHIP AIDS

A staffed nursery for children up to 36-months old is avail-able during the Sunday Worship, Sunday School hour and 6:00 p.m. Saturday Service. It is located near the north entrance of the Worship Center. Parents may also use the Church Parlor located to the left side, just before entering the Worship Center. Personal P.A.’s for the hear-ing impaired are available from an usher.

HOLY COMMUNION The Lord’s Supper is celebrated at Holy Cross in the con-fident, joyful confession that it is the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ under the bread and wine, insti-tuted by Christ Himself for us Christians to eat and to drink (Matthew 26:26-29). Personal examination, prior to participation, is encour-aged by the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 11:28), and might include these questions:

Am I a sinner?

Am I sorry for my sins?

Do I believe Jesus gives me His body and blood to-gether with the bread and wine for the forgiveness of sins?

Do I intend by the power of the Holy Spirit to amend my sinful life?

As members of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, we believe the Scriptures affirm that our participation in Holy Communion is an expression of our unity in faith. If you desire to participate and are not a member of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, or if you have questions or concerns about the meaning of this sacra-ment or confession of this congregation, please talk with one of our pastors or elders. Prior to your participation, you are encouraged to call the Church Office to make an appointment with one of our pastors. For further study, see Matthew 5:23-24; 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 10:15-17; 11:17-34.

PRAYER IS AVAILABLE AFTER ALL SERVICES!!

There are people available after all services to pray with you. LOCATIONS: On Saturday you will find a person with a red “Prayer” nametag in the area near the entrance to the Worship Center. After Sunday services look for someone with a red “Prayer” nametag standing near the baptismal font This person would be happy to listen to your request and pray with you. What kinds of things might you pray about? How about an upcoming job interview, test or change in circum-stances? How about an opportunity to share the Gospel with a neighbor? There are many topics that you can bring to God in prayer! “Pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and won-derful results.” (James 5:16b) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS –The order of service for Saturday and Sunday is from Creative Worship for the Lutheran Parish.
