COMMUNION SUNDAY is a celebration of the sacrificial death of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  As members of His body, we honor the Lord in this way on the first Sunday of each month, except on special occasions when we might move the date.  Our celebration involves presenting for consumption the sacrament of bread - which represents Christ's body, and the sacrament of juice - which represents His blood.

Why do we do this?  The Scriptures state clearly that Jesus did not have his life taken from him, but willingly surrendered it to the Jewish authorities as they carried out their contrived charges and self-serving judgement of him as a false Messiah.  Handed over to be tried by the the Roman authorities under Pontius Pilate, Jesus could have been released since they could find no just cause for why he should be punished.  But the Jewish leaders demanded he be crucified.  Although those present bear the guilt of this injustice, Christ's death was already pre-determined by God to be substitutionary, meaning that Christ, who was perfectly righteous, would take our place of judgement since we are all guilty of sin.  By doing so, God was able to balance the scales, so to speak, so that his demand for righteousness was satisfied while his mercy and forgiveness could be extended to all who would receive Christ as their Savior - the Son of God who died in their place. 

All who believe this and wish to celebrate Communion are welcome to receive the sacraments along with others during a segment of our morning service. We look forward to having you join with us on this important day of worship.
