Blog Post

What Is the Lord’s Supper?
In this installment on the blog, I explain question 96 of the Shorter Catechism, which asks, “What is the Lord’s Supper?” It answers, “The Lord’s supper is a sacrament, wherein, by giving and receiving bread and wine according to Christ’s appointment, his death is showed forth; and the worthy receivers are, not after a corporal and carnal manner, but by faith, made partakers of his body and blood, with all his benefits, to their spiritual nourishment and growth in grace.”

Midweek Meeting

Our midweek meeting on Wednesdays is held at the Bringe home at 7:00 pm. Having finished the book we were working through, we will begin a new series this coming Wednesday: Christian Worldview, a video series by R.C. Sproul. We will watch and discuss a video lesson each week. Here is the description of the series: “Everyone has a worldview, a framework through which they interpret reality and answer life’s ultimate questions. Many people, however, are unaware of the view they embrace. In this series, Dr. R.C. Sproul examines some of today’s most popular worldviews and demonstrates that only the Christian worldview truly answers life’s most important questions.”

Pilgrim Heritage Celebration

Our annual Pilgrim Heritage Celebration will take place on the afternoon of Sunday, November 22nd. The speakers will be myself, Jeff Hamann, and E. Wesley Reynolds. Since this year is the 250th anniversary of American independence (1776), some of this year’s talks will connect the heritage of the Pilgrims and our country’s founding. I plan to speak about the reasons the Pilgrims had for establishing their colony, Jeff Hamann plans to speak about the founding fathers as dutiful sons, and Wesley Reynolds plans to speak about days of thanksgiving in the founding era. I have attached a flyer for the celebration below.
