We, here at First Lutheran, teach and believe that Christ’s body and blood are really present in the Lord’s Supper [Communion].In other words, in, with, and under the bread and wine are the true presence of the body and blood of our Lord. As Jesus Himself proclaimed, “This is My body..., This is My blood...” We believe this to be so based on faith and not reason. For we believe it to be a miracle and of eternal importance. Paul writes  “For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord, eats and drinks judgment on himself.”We, at First Lutheran, realize that this is not the teaching of allchurches. We do not wish to offend anyone. So if our teachingtroubles you, or if you do not quite understand it, please talk with an Elder or the Pastor before communing. If you are a member of a Lutheran Church or if you believe as we believe and desire to participate in the Lord’s Supper, you are welcome. May God guide your decision.
