Well, if you've never been to a communion service here at Truth Community Church, this is the way we do it basically. We like to sing brief songs that put our attention on Christ and have a reverence about the memorial that we are about to partake of with Christ having commanded us to do so. This is what we do. Communion is a time to remember Christ and he appointed it on the night before his crucifixion, that this would be the way that his people would remember him going forward. This is not a time where the juice and the bread turn into the literal body and blood of Christ, that has nothing to do with what Scripture says about communion. They are mere symbols to help us remember the body and the blood that were offered up to God as an offering for sin on our behalf. He gave himself for us and we believe that it's important to approach this time with reverence and with a sense that we are coming to a time that is holy because it's a time that Christ has appointed for his people to remember him by and what it represents, the accomplishment of our eternal salvation is something of high and lofty character that we want to remember with reverence and so that's what we're going to do today....
