“Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen!” Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Today we recall the empty tomb. Because that tomb has been forever vacated, we rejoice in the gift of eternal life this day by the immeasurable grace of God through faith in His Beloved Son, Our Risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. On this glorious day, we celebrate His Resurrection from the dead in Word and Sacrament.

 

In this Holy Supper, our Savior gives to us His true Body and His true Blood for the strengthening of our faith. Those who approach the Lord’s Table give public witness to our confessional unity of faith. On the Scriptural basis of this unity, we ask that only those who are members of a congregation in the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod commune with us. If you have not communed here before, please ask to speak with the Pastor or one of our Elders before the service.
