Breaking Bread/Communion
“Breaking bread” was a term used by the early church to refer to the gathering together of believers to share a meal as well as to remember the Lord by taking communion. Over the centuries these two events have been culturally separated, but nonetheless, both are very important.
Meals Together – We take many opportunities to share meals together. We have food available after services at the café for those who would like to stay and fellowship. Various ministries hold potlucks, dinners, picnics, and teas to give us the chance to fellowship and connect with one another in a more casual environment.
Communion – Jesus said to take communion “as often as you will” (1 Corinthians 11:23-26). We have chosen to celebrate communion as a church family at the first Saturday and Sunday Services of each month, on the second through fourth Wednesdays of each month, and at our monthly Prayer & Praise meeting. However, it is not uncommon for many of the home groups and fellowships to share in communion as they feel led by the Lord.
Who is allowed to take communion? Since the purpose is to remember what Christ’s death has done for us, it seems anyone who has a sincere faith in Jesus Christ may partake (1 Corinthians 11: 24-26).
