The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper
Holy Communion
Communion also called:
The Lord's Supper
Holy Communion
The Eucharist
is a time to renew faith and strengthen participants for the duties and privileges of Christian Service.
In Communion, the bread and wine represent the sacrificial body and blood of Christ and recall the last meal shared with the Apostles. Together they symbolize the New Covenant between God and all people.*
We will celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper seven times this year according to the following schedule. The Sacrament is held on Sundays during all three morning services except where noted.
