Plains Bible Chapel

Communion

It is our practice to celebrate the Lord's supper each Sunday morning. This is an opportunity for each of us to remember and consider the sacrifice the Lord Jesus made for us on the cross. This is also an opportunity for us to honestly examine our hearts, 1 Corinthians 11:28. If you are unsure of your relationship with God through Jesus Christ, or if you know of something between yourself and the Lord, we encourage you to let the bread and cup pass. Please do not feel compelled to participate; this is between you and the Lord.

Fellowship

We also encourage you to visit with one another. Many times the best thing you can do is open your heart to someone you can trust and have them pray with you, James 5:16.

Giving to the Lord

The giving of one's money at church is an act of recognition that God is the rightful owner of all we posses. It is to be done joyfully, freely, sacrificially and discreetly. If you would like to give, we have provided a box in the chapel foyer where you may give "in secret", Matthew 6:1-4.
