Celebrate the Lord’s Supper

Jesus said - “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

Holy Communion or “The Lord’s Supper” is a way to celebrate our intimate connection and ongoing relationship with Jesus. Here’s a simple way to celebrate

When you gather as followers of Jesus, spend time in quiet meditation, silently considering and confessing your sins. When you are ready, have someone read this passage from scripture:

• “For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-24
  

Pass out bread you have set aside for your group, and eat. Continue the reading

• “In the same way, He took the cup also after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.’” 1 Corinthians 11:25
  

Share the juice or wine you have set aside for your group, and drink. Finish the reading:

• “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”1 Corinthians 11:26
  

Celebrate in prayer or singing. You have shared in The Lord’s Supper. You are His, and He is yours!
