LORD'S SUPPER
If you visit on a Sunday, the Lord’s Supper will be included during our worship time. We observe the Lord’s Supper on a weekly basis to remember the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Again, we do this in keeping with the example we see in scripture of the first-century Christians meeting to partake of the Lord’s Supper together. We also do it because it reminds us of the gospel message of Jesus Christ and God’s saving grace through his Son on the cross. If you are visiting with us you can feel free to partake of the bread and grape juice, or you can just pass it to the next person. This time is observed primarily for Christians to remember the covenant they have with God through baptism. Just as Jesus died, was buried, and rose again, we also in becoming Christians died to our old way of life in order that we might be raised up as new people in Christ Jesus. The bread symbolizes the body of Jesus on the cross, and the grape juice symbolizes the blood that He shed for us. |
