About Communion At LCOL, we trust and believe God’s Word and His Holy Scripture. We believe God’s Word that says that Jesus Himself is giving us not only bread and wine, but His very body and blood when we commune, that it is given for the forgiveness of our sins and to strengthen our union with Christ and with each other, and that Jesus invites to His table those who trust His words, repent of all sins, and forgive and love others, as He forgives and loves us. We believe the Word which says that because those who commune unworthily do so to their great harm; those who are not baptized or not properly prepared, and those who doubt should not commune. Because Holy Com-munion is a unified confession of faith of Christ’s Body at LCOL, we ask that all people new to LCOL who wish to receive the Sacrament would speak first with our pastor, We ask this out of love and spiritual care for all who come here, and we ask this for the sake of our unity and Lutheran confession. We welcome all people to come forward for a blessing; simply, cross your arms on your chest when the pastor comes to you. If you have any questions, please, talk to our pastor. For further study, see Matthew 5:23, 10:32, 18:15-35, 26:26-29; 1 Cor. 11:17-34.

Make Disciples by, Growing and Caring in Christ Together

Wrap-Up Sunday, May 19 at 10 am To celebrate the efforts of our brothers and sisters of LCOL, we will have a unified service at 10am on Sunday May 19th, called "Wrap-Up Sunday." The focus of Wrap-Up Sunday is to thank the Lord for all He has done in blessing us with volunteers as well as students of all ages. Let's join together to thank Him and to look for-

ward to a wonderful summer in His creation. E6.10 Bible study, Confirmation and Catechism classes will

resume in September.

Church Directory Photos We were able to schedule Thursday, June 20 in the afternoon, as the final day to get pictures taken for the new church directory. You can sign up at the Volunteer Desk or visit lcol.org/connect.

Baby Bottle Fundraiser This Mother’s Day please join us in celebrating and supporting mothers in our community with the baby bottle fundraiser. Your donations help educate and support mothers and babies. Find out more at lcol.org/connect

We know that the first few times visiting a new church can be awkward. We hope you will discover there are many wonderful people here along with opportunities for you to find good friends and be part of Christ’s growing Kingdom. We have Christ-centered worship each Sunday, as well as Youth Group and adult Bible studies on both Sunday morning and Wednesday evening. For your little ones, there are changing tables in the main hall in both the men’s and women’s restrooms, as well as a cry room in the back of the sanctuary and bags of crayons just outside the cry room door. Please leave your contact information in the red booklets in the pew, so we can better serve you in your walk with Christ and help you serve Him.

Acts 20:17-23, 28-30

17Now from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called the elders of the church to come to him. 18 And when they came to him, he said to them: “You yourselves know how I lived among you the whole time from the first day that I set foot in Asia, 19 serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials that happened to me through the plots of the Jews; 20 how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house,21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, constrained by the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there, 23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me. 28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. 29 I know that after my de-parture fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them.. Revelation 7:9-14 9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forev-er and ever! Amen.” 13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” 14 I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

John 10:22-30 22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eter-nal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”.
