Holy Communion
Holy Communion is the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ given with bread and wine, instituted by Christ himself for us to eat and drink. Through Holy Communion we receive Christ’s body and blood and God’s gifts of forgiveness of sin, life, and salvation.

How is Communion Served at First Lutheran?
Communion is served at the Altar. The ushers direct the congregation forward to the altar. The first server will give you bread which you should eat right away. The second server will offer wine from a tray of small glasses (White grape juice is also available in the center of the tray for children or those who do not want wine). The third server will collect your empty glass. Once you are finished you may return to your seat.
If you are not able to come to the front of the sanctuary for Communion, the ushers will direct a server to serve you in your seat after the congregation has been served.
