CELEBRATION OF THE LORD'S SUPPER

The Lord's Supper or Communion is celebrated in weekly worship. The practice of Holy Communion has become the central element of worship within the Disciples tradition.  ​Disciples' observance of the Lord's Supper emanates from the upper room, where Jesus shared bread and wine with his disciples on the eve of his crucifixion. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, the living Christ is met and received in the sharing of the bread and the cup, representative of the body and blood of Jesus. The presence of the living Lord is affirmed and he is proclaimed to be the dominant power in our lives.
