Notes & Announcements July 30, 2006
WELCOME to Mt. Olive Lutheran Church!
We are happy
that you chose to worship with us this morning.
Our prayer is that you will be strengthened
spiritually. Please join us again whenever you are in our area.
We ask that you sign our Friendship Rite pad located in
the pews.
ABOUT HOLY COMMUNION
Today at Mt.
Olive we celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. In this
Sacrament we receive, in repentance and faith, Christ’s true
Body and Blood, under the bread and wine, for the forgiveness of
sins. When we partake of the Sacrament here we give a public
confession to our unity in the teachings of the Christian
Faith. To commune at our Altar is an expression that the
communicant agrees with the Faith as it is believed, taught and
confessed at Mt. Olive. Communicant members of sister
congregations of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod are asked to
announce themselves to the Pastor before the service if
communing here for the first time. Members of non-LCMS churches
are encouraged to speak with the Pastor about a future,
informed
reception of the Sacrament at Mt. Olive.
The
Weekly Catechism
From Luther’s Small Catechism
The Second
Article of the Creed
Redemption
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by
the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius
Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into
hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into
heaven and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty.
From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
(continued…)
What does this mean?
I believe that Jesus Christ,
true God, begotten of the Father from eternity, and also true man,
born of the Virgin Mary, is my Lord, who has redeemed me, a lost
and condemned person, purchased and won me from all sins, from
death, and from the power of the devil; not with gold or silver,
but with His holy, precious blood and with His innocent suffering
and death, that I may be His own and live under Him in His kingdom
and serve Him in everlasting righteousness, innocence, and
blessedness, just as He is risen from the dead, lives and reigns
to all eternity. This is most certainly true.
Bible Reading: Philippians 2:5-11
WE WELCOME
into our fellowship this morning

THE BLOODMOBILE
will be at Mt.
Olive on Tuesday, 2:30 to 7pm. As some of you may be aware, our
region issued a media appeal last week for blood donors, due to
the critical shortage, which they have had for several weeks.
However, despite those efforts, their inventory continues to
remain low.
