We hope you will join us for service on Sunday to experience for yourself the fellowship of Christ.

ADDITIONAL MID-WEEK COMMUNION SERVICES

AVAILABLE DURING THE SUMMER

Dear Blessed Saints in Christ,                                                                

            Greetings to you in the name of the Risen and Ascended Lord Jesus Christ, in whom we have the promise of life, hope, and salvation through His holy and precious blood on the cross.  It has come to my attention, that there are among our number several souls who are not able to make a 9:30 a.m. service on Sunday mornings for a variety of reasons.  In response to this, I have decided to offer a service of Holy Communion one Wednesday each month throughout the summer. For those whose schedules do not allow them to attend on Sunday mornings, you too may find rest in the forgiveness of sins poured out in the Sacrament of Christ’s body and blood.  This service is of course, open to all our members who would like to attend, even those who are able to attend the regular services of the Church. 

            We will begin slowly by having the services once a month, the first being on July 11th at 7:00 p.m. at St John’s Lutheran Church, followed by services on August 1st, and September 5th.  All are welcome, especially those who may have missed an opportunity to celebrate the Divine Service, and particularly those whose schedules do not provide the time to join at the Altar.

            If you have any questions, please call the Church Office at 718-761-1600 or myself at 605-354-3703.  The peace of the Lord be with you all.

In the Holy Name of our Savior Jesus Christ in whose promise we find rest,

Pastor Bagnall
