(Invocabit)
A note about The Lord’s Supper:  The Sacrament of the Altar is the True Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, under bread and wine, instituted by Christ Himself for us Christians to eat and to drink.  Reception of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ is a public confession of unity in doctrine, faith, and life.  The Sacrament may be received by those baptized Christians who have been examined, absolved, and publicly confess the faith of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.  Communicants are to be repentant, have a desire to turn from their sin, and by this Sacrament amend their lives.  They are to be reconciled with their neighbor and, by receiving the true Body and Blood of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, confess as one His death until He comes again.

All discipleship/fellowship opportunities are in CST, and anyone may join at any time.  Additionally, almost everything is recorded for on-demand listening.  Click here to email us if you need the Zoom Meeting ID#’s and Passcodes to attend live and/or the Vimeo links for the recordings. Sermon recordings can be found at http://www.kongsvingerchurch.org/sermons
