| About our Sacraments | | | |
| We embrace two Holy Sacraments: Baptismby water and the Spirit, as recorded in the scriptures, shall be a sign of dedication of each life to God and God's service. Though the words and acts of this sacrament, the recipient is identified as God's own Child. Holy Communionis the partaking of blessed bread and fruit of the vine in accordance with the words of Jesus, our Sovereign: "This is my body ... this is my blood" (Matthew 26:26-28). All who believe, confess and repent, and seek God's love through Jesus Christ, after examining their consciences, may freely participate in the communal meal, signifying their desire to be received into community with Jesus Christ, to be saved by Jesus Christ's sacrifice. To participate in Jesus Christ's resurrection, and to commit their lives anew to the service of Jesus Christ. |
