THE DISTRIBUTION
Please note that we commune only those who are
communicant members of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod.
Although we long to share this precious gift with you, we also
recognize that where one receives the Sacrament outwardly, this also
identifies that person's confession of faith.
If you desire to learn more about our beliefs, please speak to Pastor.
