New Artwork in Memory of George Babcock

Thank you to Dottie Babcock (Lorna Boggs' mother) who crocheted this wonderful picture of the Last Supper in memory of George Babcock.  Dottie crocheted this while caring for and sitting at her husband George's bedside.  George Babcock entered the Church Triumphant on February 6, 2014



Matting and framing was donated by the Tom and Lorna Boggs family.

What is the Lord's Supper?
"It is the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ under the bread and wine, instituted by Christ Himself for us Christians to eat and to drink." (Luther's Small Catechism)

Prayer for Blessing of Sacred Art
Heavenly Father, Your Son is the express image of Your glory so that when we behold him we contemplate Your unending mercy.  Bless and sanctify this picture, which is offered in honor of Your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.  Grant that all who behold it may, by Your grace, be strengthened in the true faith and worship You with a steadfast heart; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.  Amen.
(From: Lutheran Service Book Agenda, p. 306)
