Welcome to our service today. It is great to have you here and we would love to invite you to stay after the service and join us for morning tea.
Communion is one of the most precious acts of worship given to believers. On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus took bread and a cup and instructed His disciples, “Do this in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19). Communion is not merely a religious ritual; it is a powerful reminder of the grace, love, and sacrifice of Christ.
The bread reminds us that Jesus willingly gave His body to be broken for us. The cup reminds us that His blood was shed to bring forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God. Every time we partake of Communion, we proclaim the death and resurrection of Christ and celebrate the salvation He purchased on our behalf.
Communion is also a time for reflection. Paul encourages believers to examine themselves before participating (1 Corinthians 11:28). It is an opportunity to confess sin, renew our fellowship with God, and remember that we are completely dependent upon His grace.
At the Lord’s Table, we find both humility and hope. We remember the cost of our redemption, but we also look forward to the day when Christ returns and we share in His heavenly banquet.
With love & blessings,
Sandra
