Announcements (subject to God’s will)
After a week of self-examination, confessing members in good standing are called to partake of the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. Your participation in the Lord’s Supper is in part a witness that you repent of your sins, believe that Jesus Christ is your 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 this food 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 request permission from the Council.
On the back table are devotionals for October, as well as the September issue of the Covenant Reformed News.
After this evening’s service, there will be a short meeting at which male confessing members will vote to approve/disapprove the nomination of Philip Hall for an additional 3-year term as deacon.
