A Prayer for Our Godson

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (New American Standard Bible)
The Lord's Supper
23For (A)I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that (B)the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread;
24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."
25In the same way He took (
C)the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the (D)new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."
26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death (
E)until He comes.


Today our nephew/Godson, Elias will be receiving the Sacrament of First Holy Communion at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Medford, Oregon. These sacraments are seen as special ways in which the saving grace and the presence of God come to us. For Catholics Sacraments have a Scriptural command to do it and a Scriptural promise from God that comes with doing it in faith. So this is a very special day for Eli! We ask that you say a prayer for him.

"May God bless you today and watch over your life Dear Godson...May He warm your world always with His unchanging love.
Thinking of you on your First Communion Day"
Love, Uncle Steve & Aunty Melissa

We will be sure to update the blog post with photos of the lil man on his special day once we receive them.
