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

ANNOUNCEMENTS

MISSIONS MOMENT | Jim & Kathy Carlson

Jim & Kathy are two of our long-term missionaries with ReachGlobal, the missionary arm of the Evangelical Free Church of America. Please join us in supporting them through prayer as they support international churches and communicate the need around the world to churches here in the States.

Here's how you can be praying for them:

    • For urgent pastoral and ministry team staffing needs in several international churches in Europe
    • For their upcoming 5-week trip to France (November) for interim pastoral ministry in 3 local international churches—logistics (housing, use of a car), health and stamina, and wisdom as they jump back into those local church families
    • For 2 families who are preparing visa applications for France to move to Paris in February

Thank you for praying for our missionaries and their team.

If you're stuck on what to include, gift suggestion lists are available at the Connection Center, which also includes what not to send. It is a blessing to send out the Gospel message into the world. As a shoebox recipient has said, "It is like a light in the darkness or a river in the wilderness."
