Baptism
We believe that Jesus’ command in Matthew 28:19-20 to "...make disciples of all nations... baptizing them..." is still an important part of the mission and ministry of the church today. If you or any members of your family are not baptized, please speak with our pastor about being baptized. We would be glad to serve God by bringing this gift into your life.

Membership
If you are interested in becoming a member of Beautiful Savior, please speak with our pastor. Membership is given through transfer, affirmation of faith, or through a series of informative and interesting classes on the basic teachings of the Bible and the Lutheran faith. We would be glad to have you become a part of our church family!

Holy Communion
 Is celebrated on the 1st & 3rd Sundays at both worship services. The ministry of Word and Sacrament at Beautiful Savior is conducted in accordance with Holy Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions. The Holy Communion is not taken lightly because it is the precious, blessed supper of our Lord Jesus Christ. In this meal, Jesus gives us His body and blood, in the bread and wine, to eat and to drink. He also speaks to us those exceedingly sweet and gracious words: "Given for you, shed for you for the forgiveness of sins." While this gift is individually received, public testimony is also given that those communing together share doctrinal unity. Therefore, out of loving pastoral care, the congregations of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod have promised to practice close communion. We kindly ask that our guests and visitors respect our communion practice, and speak to the Pastor before communing. Let us all pray that the divisions that separate Christians may one day be healed on the basis of God's Holy Word. "For the well-being of the Church of God, and for the unity of all, let us pray to the Lord."

Communion Procedure
Just in case you were wondering… we serve the communion wine in two ways: individual cups and chalice. If you prefer to commune from the chalice, please fold your hands when Pastor walks by with the individual cups and watch for the Elder to bring the chalice.

To help the Elders, we ask those who partake of the wine in the individual cups to fold their hands and hold he plastic cup in such a way that the Elders can see the empty cup as they pass by with the chalice.

Also, the cups in the center of the individual cup trays are filled with white grape juice for those who cannot drink wine. And… the bread is served in both the traditional white wafer form and also as broken pieces of matzo (unleavened bread). Please feel free to partake of either form. If you have any further questions about all of this, please visit with Pastor or one of the Elders. Taste and see – the Lord is good!
