The Lord’s Supper
We believe that the Communion Supper instituted by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is a sacrament, proclaiming His life, sufferings, sacrificial death, resurrection, and the hope of His coming again. The Lord’s Supper is a means of grace in which Christ is present by the Spirit. All are invited to participate by faith in Christ and be renewed in life, salvation, and in unity as the Church. All are to come in reverent appreciation of its significance, and by it show forth the Lord’s death until He comes. Those who have faith in Christ and love for the saints are invited by Christ to participate as often as possible.
Holy Communion is another name for the Lord’s Supper (also called “Eucharist”]. The bread and wine are used to represent the body and blood of Christ. Christ is present with his people in Holy Communion. It reminds Christians of the death and second coming of Jesus Christ and celebrates the unity of the church.
