Sharing in Holy Communion—We invite you to read the following statement of faith about Holy Communion. This is our statement of faith. If it is your statement of faith, we invite you to share the Holy Communion with us. The Lord's Supper is celebrated at Memorial in the confession and glad confidence that, as Christ says, He gives into our mouths not only bread and wine but also his very body and blood to eat and drink for the forgiveness of sins and to strengthen our union with Him and with one another. Our Lord invites to His table those who trust His words, repent of all sin, and set aside any refusal to forgive and love as He forgives and loves us, that we may show forth His love for all until He comes. If you desire to commune with us, we ask that you fill out a blue registration card in the pew rack in front of you and hand it to the usher when you come forward to commune. This helps us to get to know the many worshippers who come to Memorial.
