We share the Holy Sacrament of Communion the first Sunday of each month. During this time we have our usual Order of Worship. But after the sermon, the pastor leads us in Communion. We use the Order of Table and Communion from the hymnal. All are invited to the Table. Holy Communion was instituted by Jesus, just prior to His crucifixion. He told His disciples to have communion often and remember Him.

At the appointed time during the worship time, the pastor invites people to come to participate. The people who sit at the front on the right side of the church starts first. Then each row follows.

Usually we use the method called Intinction. As you approach the bread and juice, have your hands open so that you can receive the gifts from Jesus. You are given a piece of bread. You are given the bread because the bread reminds us of Jesus’ body and He gave us his body, we did not take it from Him. You then dip the bread into the cup, which reminds us of Jesus’ blood, which He shed for us. We use grape juice instead of wine in the cup. While the pastor blesses the elements and leads us in the liturgy, someone from the congregation actually shares the elements.

Following the sharing of the bread and juice, we have a final hymn and the pastor closes with a benediction.

Holy Communion is just one of the Holy Sacraments. We are blessed to be able to remember all that Jesus has done for us.
