OUR ANNUAL COMMUNION SERVICE - ONLY DIFFERENT

This year, we will be resuming our annual tradition of holding a communion service on the spring daylight savings Sunday. However, it will be different this year. While it’s usually held in the evening, this year’s service will be held at our normal Sunday service time of 10:00am. While we usually share a full-on meal together, we will only be taking the elements of the bread and the cup together. What will mark this service as unique, though, is an emphasis on the sacraments and what they mean for our lives together as Christians. Come ready to learn and to worship.

An optional lunch will be held outdoors at the Schlieder home after the service. Details to follow.

REGISTER TODAY FOR STARTING POINT - A TWO HOUR CLASS FOR GUESTS

If you’ve been visiting for any length of time and would like to learn more about what we believe as a church and how those beliefs take shape in the life of the church, this class is for you. The aim is to help you discern if this is the church family the Lord is calling you to. We want to help you in that process. If we discover together that this isn’t the church for you, we want to help you find another church. If by the end of the class you believe this is where the Lord is leading you, then we’d love to take steps to welcome you as a member.

FEBRUARY 28 IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHURCH AT THE HOULTON HOME. LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED.

REGULAR MORNING SERVICE - NO DINNER

Building on a tradition we inherited from our sending church, Cross of Grace Santa Ana has held an annual communion service on the springtime daylight savings Sunday. Normally, this would include switching our morning service to an evening service and partaking in a Communion meal together as a church.

This year, we’ll be continuing this tradition, yet during our regular morning meeting time and without a formal shared meal during the service in light of continued Covid restrictions. We hope to resume the fullness of the tradition next year.

Nevertheless, this service will be a unique opportunity to consider the meaning and significance of the sacraments Jesus left us with; to learn about how communion should function in our lives as Christians and to learn about the community that the communion meal illuminates.

Let’s feast for the glory of Jesus and the good of our souls.
