To our guests: If you are not in communion fellowship with the congregations of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, we still invite you to come forward to receive the Lord’s blessing. Please join us at the table, and we will work with you towards the day when we all will commune together as one. Nevertheless, unity of doctrine must come first. At the table simply cross your hands over your heart. When the pastor comes by, he will give you a blessing.

We at Mt. Zion celebrate and confess with glad confidence that we receive with our mouths not only bread and wine, but the very body and blood of Jesus.  We eat and drink at His table for the forgiveness of sins and to strengthen our union with Him and with one another.  Our Lord invites to His table all those who trust His words and repent of their sins. Having received forgiveness, they also forgive others.  He also tells us that those who eat and drink His body and blood without understanding (or while believing something different from what He says), do so to their great harm. We are therefore compelled by Christian love to ask visitors who desire to receive the many benefits of the Supper, yet who hold to a different confession from that of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, to refrain from Holy Communion until they can receive instruction from the pastor. We ask you to please honor our doctrine and practice at Mount Zion during the Divine Service.
