Holy Week:
April 9: Maundy Thursday Divine Service at 7:00 PM (Online Vespers) April 10: Good Friday Service at 7:00 PM (Online Vespers) Easter Sunday: April 12 (Matins Online Recording) Midweek Lenten Theme: Seven Words of Jesus Holy Scripture records seven statements Jesus made while he hung on the cross, dying for our sins. These words fulfilled Scripture and many were prophesied in the Old Testament that Jesus would say such things. These words express to us God’s love for us. Jesus did not die bitterly, that is, he did not die hating us for whom he died. Jesus loved us to the end (John 13:1). The words Jesus speaks on the cross are words of love and words of Gospel. Jesus, our God and Lord, is our greatest teacher. Even from the cross, he teaches us the Gospel. If he found necessary to speak these words in his moment of greatest agony, it is important that we listen and learn from them. |

I believe in the Holy, Christian, and Apostolic Church...
The Lord's Supper
Our Lord Jesus Christ on the night when he was betrayed, took bread... and said, "Take, eat, this is my body, which is given for you. ...He took the cup after supper... and said, "Drink of it all of you; this cup is the new testament in my blood."
Jesus feeds us his true body and blood in the Sacrament of the Altar for the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation. |
 Washing of Regeneration through the Blood of Christ
"He saved us, not by works done by us in righteousness, but by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior." Titus 3:5-7
We are saved by the blood of Jesus. |
Forgiveness of Sins
Jesus said to them again, 'Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.' ... 'Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you witthold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.'" John 20:21-23 "I believe that when the called ministers of Chris deal with us by his divine command, in particular when they exclude openly unrepentant sinners from the Christian congregation and absolve those who repent of their sins and want to do better, this is just as valid and certain, even in heaven, as if Christ our dear Lord dealt with us himself." Luther's Small Catechism
