Trinity Practices Closed Communion
We welcome all of you to our celebration of Holy Communion this morning. If you are visiting and wish to commune with us, you must speak to the pastor prior to the service. The Apostle Paul exhorts the Church in 1 Corinthians 1:10 that “all of you agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.” Since we cannot claim unity with all due to the pervasion of false doctrine throughout the many churches, by the exhortation of Paul, we must acknowledge that we are not all “united in the same mind and the same judgment.” Accordingly, Trinity practices closed communion, which means we commune active members of Trinity and those guests who have been invited to commune prior to the service.
Those who come to the Lord’s Table today have been instructed in the Word and are able to examine themselves (1 Corinthians 11:28), so that they receive the blessings of our Lord’s body and blood, which is truly present here for the forgiveness of sins. This is of paramount importance, for as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 11:29, “For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.” As we care for the souls of all those present in this matter of Christian love, if you are a guest and have not spoken to our pastor today, please do not come forward to receive the Sacrament.
