"Greater Love Has No One Than This"

Message by Pastor Corey Christians

Veterans Sunday is a day to honor those who have served. Men and women who put on a uniform and stepped into danger so that others could live in freedom. Some came home. Some did not. Some carry wounds we can see, and some carry wounds we cannot. This day is about gratitude, respect, and remembrance. It is also about recognizing the cost of love. Jesus said no one has greater love than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. Veterans embody that truth in flesh and blood.

Scripture Reading: John 15:12-17

COMMUNION AT CONCORDIA

(Matthew 26:26-28)

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod believes the Biblical teaching that in Communion we receive the true body and blood of Jesus Christ with the bread and wine for the forgiveness of sins. If you are a baptized Christian who has been instructed in the Biblical teaching of Communion, and if you agree with our confession of faith, please feel free to commune today. Parents of younger children who have not been instructed and Confirmed in the faith are welcome to bring their children forward to receive a blessing. Upon request, a non-alcoholic beverage (white grape juice) is available in the center circle of each tray, and gluten-free wafers are available at every station. If you have any questions, please let us know.

BAPTISM AT CONCORDIA

(Mark 16:16)

Scripture and our Lutheran Confessions call Baptism a second birth, the creation of a brand-new life begun in Christ, and reaching its fullness on the day of resurrection. By preparing for you or your child to be baptized you are taking the most important step in continuing the journey in the Christian faith. Baptism is not just plain water, but it is the water included in God’s command and combined with God’s Word. For more information about Baptism, email dorisb@concordia.cc.
