Announcements (subject to God’s will)
After a week of self-examination, CPRC confessing members in good standing are called to partake of the Lord’s Supper. Your participation in the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood is in part a witness that you repent of your sins, believe in Jesus Christ as your only righteousness, and desire to live a new and godly life. As this heavenly food can be taken to one’s judgment (I Cor. 11:28-30) and as the common reception of the Lord’s Supper is a confession of doctrinal unity (Acts 2:42), the elders supervise the partaking of the sacrament. Visitors who are members of other denominations must already have presented to the Council an attestation from their church that they are confessing members in good standing and have received permission from the Council to partake of the Lord’s Supper.
Briana Prins has requested and received permission to partake of the Lord’s Supper as a member in good standing of Trinity PRC in Hudsonville, Michigan.
The Council would like to remind everyone that they should arrive in good time before the services in order to be seated and have time to prepare for worship.
The Belgic Confession: A Commentary, volume 2, by Prof. Engelsma is available for RFPA book club members today.
