Communicant Membeship

Was reading through St. John's Constitution and Bylaws for the umpteenth time and came across this.  This is what each of you, when you became a member of St. John's, pledged yourselves to in case you forgot.  I love you all!

 

B.        Communicant Membership  

Communicant members are those...

1.         Who are baptized in the name of God the Fa­ther, Son, and Holy Spirit.

2.         Who accept the Doctrinal Standard as stated in Article III.

3.         Who attend Divine worship services faithfully.

4.         Who, after their confirmation, partake fre­quently of the Lord's Supper.

5.         Who lead Christian lives and do not live in manifest works of the flesh.       (Galatians 5:19-21)

6.         Who devote their time and talents to the ex­tension of the Kingdom of God.

7.         Who, as God has prospered them, contribute regularly and faithfully toward the building of Christ's Kingdom in the Congregation and through­out the World.

8.         Who permit themselves to be fraternally admon­ished and corrected when they have erred.

DEVOTION:

 

Ephesians 4:1-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

Unity in the Body of Christ

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore it says,

"When he ascended on high he led a host of captives,
    and he gave gifts to men."[a]

(In saying, "He ascended," what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth?[b] 10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds[c] and teachers,[d] 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood,[e] to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
