We celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion, also known as The Lord’s Supper, on a regular basis. We use Jesus’ final meal with his disciples as it is described in the Gospels: Matthew 26:26-30, Mark 14:22-26, Luke 22:14-23, as our guide. All baptized Christians, of any age, are invited to participate in this sacrament.
How often is it offered and how is it served?
The sacrament of Holy Communion is normally offered on the first Sunday of each month at both worship services. Elders and Deacons assist the pastor in serving communion to the congregation by intinction. What is intinction? The pastor invites people to come forward to the front of the sanctuary to receive the bread and dip it in the cup.
Holy Communion is also celebrated at special services throughout the year, including Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Easter, World Communion Sunday, All Saints Sunday and Christmas Eve.
What if I want to participate in Communion but am unable to attend worship?
On monthly "Communion Sundays," and at other times by special request, pastors and church elders take communion to members who are not able to attend worship services at the church. You may receive communion in your own home, or in other locations, such as hospitals, nursing homes, and extended care facilities. Please contact the office if you are interested in participating.
