THE LORD'S SUPPER

The Lord's Supper is the heart of our Sunday worship service.Communion is observed by partaking of unleavened bread and fruit of the vine (1 Corinthians 11:23-29).Christians observe this Memorial Supper every Sunday. The reason for this regularity is simply our desire to follow the teachings and examples of the New Testament. The first century church celebrated this observance on the first day of every week (Acts 20:7). During this memorial, plates containing pieces of unleavened bread will be passed throughout the congregation. The bread symbolises the body of Jesus (I Corinthians 11:23-25). Next, trays filled with small cups of grape juice (fruit of the vine) will be distributed. This symbolizes the blood of Jesus (I Corinthians 11:23-25). This is a special time for Christians to meditate on and remember the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
