Worship

Jesus Christ is the living and abiding Word of God. By the power of the Spirit, this very Word of God, which is Jesus Christ, is read in the scriptures, proclaimed in preaching, announced in the forgiveness of sins, eaten and drunk in the Holy Communion, and encountered in the bodily presence of the Christian community. God gives the Word and the sacraments to the church and by the power of the Spirit thereby creates and sustains the church among us. God calls the church to exercise care and fidelity in its use of the means of grace, so that all people may hear and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ and be gathered into God�s own mission for the life of the world.

The Use of the Means of Grace, principles 1 and 2
