WHY DO WE TAKE COMMUNION?

Communion, “The Lord’s Supper,” is a tradition given to the church by Jesus Christ which calls us to remember his death on the cross until he returns again. It is a unique and beautiful way of preaching the gospel through symbols - the broken bread symbolizes his body, the cup symbolizes his shed blood - just as Jesus described it at the Last Supper. Reserved for believers and intended to be done regularly until Christ returns, we take Communion on the first Sunday of each month and on other special occasions. In doing so, we preach the gospel to ourselves and to one another. All confessing believers in Jesus are invited to participate in the Lord’s Table with us, but God’s Word cautions us against taking Communion lightly. We are told to examine ourselves before we eat the bread and drink the cup - then we can celebrate our salvation in Christ with joy!

Passages to read:
Matthew 26:26-29, Luke 22:16-20,
1 Corinthians 11:17-34

The Giving Tree is set up in the foyer with “ornaments.” You can take an ornament and then purchase a $10, $20, or $30 gift card(s) at Walmart, Target, or King Soopers. Please indicate the amount of the gift card(s) and return the card(s) back to the church. Drop the gift card(s) in the secured box located by the Giving Tree, no later than December 14th. Thank you for blessing another family this Christmas!

These gifts can provide significant tax advantages while supporting the ministry of our church. Please consult your financial advisor for specifics.
