First Sunday of the month
On the eve of his crucifixion, Jesus instituted a new fellowship meal that we continue to observe today. This meal is called Communion or the Lord’s Supper. Participating in this meal causes us to remember the significance of Christ’s death and resurrection and is a testimony to his second coming.
A personal relationship with Jesus is a prerequisite to participating in Communion because it is meant for genuine believers in Christ. The two elements, the bread and wine (or grape juice), represent the body and blood of Jesus.
Communion symbolizes the unity of believers within the church. When we participate in communion, we affirm our faith and fellowship in Christ.
On Communion Sundays we also collect a special offering for our benevolence fund to help those in need.
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. 1 Corinthians 11:26
