Communion Service
Christ calls all to partake that have accepted Him as LORD and Savior, for all have sinned.
Communion is one of the most solemn and yet joyous occasions. While it is a time that calls for heart-searching and forgiveness, it is also a time of encouragement and spiritual renewal. Before joining in Communion, we are to do deep heart-searching and repenting of any sins that we committed against GOD, and to one another.
The celebration of Communion gives opportunity to renew and rebuild relationships with GOD and with others. As we join together in the foot washing service and in the eating and drinking of the symbols of Christ’s death, we are reminded of our need of GOD’s continued grace and love and for closer fellowship with one another.
Foot washing is a symbol of character. When we take someone’s feet in our hands to wash them, we are taught important lessons of love, service, and humility, as Jesus showed (John 13).
The LORD’s Supper includes partaking of the unleavened bread, a symbol of Jesus’ body that was broken for our sins, and the grape juice, unfermented wine, a symbol for His blood that was shed for our sins. Jesus said “this do in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19-20).
