Regarding participation in the Blessed Sacrament of Christ’s True Body and Blood: Because oneness at the altar presupposes oneness in faith and doctrine, we expect that all who commune at the Lord’s altar are members in good standing of an LCMS congregation. We ask that all who commune register on a communion card. All visitors should state their home LCMS congregation. First time visitors please speak to Pastor Dreyer. Individual cups are available as you approach the altar for those desiring them.

When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.........(verses 5-21 to follow).
Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.
"These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.

TRIP TO THE HOLY LAND:
Here is some trip info recently sent to the church office. If you have an interest or have questions, contact info is included.
Praise Lutheran Church - Plans Trip to the Holy Land
By Pastor J. Brown
This Will Change Your Life
Imagine reading the Bible and being able to picture first hand Mount Carmel, where Elijah defeated the prophets of Baal, or seeing the sunset over the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus walked on the water, or remembering back to when you stepped your own foot into the Jordan River, as you now read about your Lord’s own baptism in that very same spot. How would you like to walk in the Garden of Gethsemane, peek your head inside the tomb that held your Savior, visit Cana, or even stand in the very place where the Dead Sea scrolls were found? You can do all this and more! Your dream can indeed become a reality. The possibility exists for you to join Pastor J. Brown & members of Praise Lutheran Church in 2011 on a trip that will take you to a place in your faith that you never thought you’d ever go. Yes, you can come to Israel. Join other Praisers as they embark on a trip to the Holy Land. Know that absolutely no details are set yet. However, we will be having a preliminary meeting to discuss arrangements on June 7th at 7:00 p.m., and another meeting the end of June date TBA. For more information on the trip to the Holy Land you may call Kathy Mildred at #338-0029 or cell # 443-4669, or call the church office #490-7729 (PRAY).
