Communion Service

The Communion Service, commonly known as the Lord's Supper or Eucharist, is a significant Christian practice that commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with His disciples. This event is rooted in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels of Matthew (26:26-29), Mark (14:22-25), and Luke (22:14-20), where Jesus instructs His followers to partake in bread and wine as symbols of His body and blood, signifying the new covenant between God and humanity. The act serves as a memorial of Christ's sacrificial death, emphasizing themes of redemption and grace.In the early church, as described in Acts 2:42, believers frequently gathered to break bread, highlighting the communal aspect of the service. Paul further elaborates on its significance in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, where he emphasizes the importance of approaching the Communion table with reverence and self-examination. The Communion Service not only acts as a reminder of Christ's sacrifice but also fosters a sense of unity among believers, as they collectively remember and proclaim the Lord’s death until He returns (1 Corinthians 11:26). Thus, it is both a solemn remembrance and a celebration of faith within the Christian community.
