THE SERVICE OF HOLY COMMUNION

THE SERVICE OF THE THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER HOApril 18,LY 2021 COMMUNION

The gospel for the third Sunday of Easter is always one in which the risen Christ shares food with the disciples, meals that are the Easter template for the meal we share each Sunday. In today’s gospel, Jesus both shares the disciples’ food and shows them the meaning of his suffering, death, and resurrection through the scriptures, the two main elements of our Sunday worship.

A Special Note: Worship Values & COVID-19 Protocols Our service is being Worship services at the Chapel will fully comply with all COVID-19 protocols established by Valparaiso livestreamed to YouTube University in dialogue with Chapel staff. Face coverings, social distancing, and a special distribution today. Find the link at of Holy Communion are all part of this. All attending from off campus are subject to check in and Valpo.edu/chapel screening in the narthex (lobby). Visitors will be required to wear a visitor badge. Because we are now being limited to having only 100 worshipers in our building, we will be pre-registering people for worship each week until further notice. A link can be found on our website (valpo.edu/chapel) and through Facebook. Please maintain three chairs vacant between yourself and others in your row who are not part of your household or quarantine pod.

Holy Communion Special precautions are being taken with the distribution of Holy Communion. This Service of Word and Sacrament today in the Chapel of the Resurrection is sponsored by Valparaiso University and conducted in accordance with Holy Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions. Lay men and women—students, faculty, and staff—assist the pastors in conducting the worship services and in carrying out the ministry in this community. The Holy Communion is celebrated here in the confidence of receiving from our Lord all that he promises when he gives his body and blood to eat and to drink. With such celebration goes the pastoral concern that all worshipers examine themselves lest they contradict Christ by sin against him and his people. In the Sacrament we are most fully one with Christ and with one another, and in this Meal we are nourished to live in faithfulness to Christ and his Word and in forgiveness and in love toward one another. Because communion at the table of our Lord is such a confession of faith, worshipers who are in doubt or who hold a differing confession of faith and yet desire to receive the Sacrament should first consult with one of the pastors. No one is required to commune. You also have the option to commune in one kind only (receiving either the bread or the wine alone) or to receive a personal blessing at the altar.

Rest Rooms Rest rooms are available in the Undercroft, down the spiral staircase off the narthex at the southwest end of the building. Handicap accessible/family bathrooms are located in the Chapel narthex.
