SACRAMENT of HOLY COMMUNION

For I received from the Lord what
I also handed on to you, that the Lord
Jesus on the night when he was
betrayed took a loaf of bread, and
when he had given thanks, he broke it
and said,“This is my body that is for
you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
1 Corinthians 11:23–24

WHAT IS COMMUNION?

Communion (also known as the Lord’s Supper or Eucharist) is one of two Sacraments practiced by
Reformed Christians (Baptism is the other). In this simplest of meals—a morsel of bread, a sip of juice or
wine—there is a great feast of mystery and meaning:

• Communion is a sign and seal of the covenant of grace made by God through Jesus Christ and
extended to us.
• Around the table that Christ prepares, we give thanks and praise for God’s creative power,
redeeming love, and sustaining care.
• With gratitude, we recall Christ’s gracious life, saving death, and life-giving resurrection—even
as we await his coming in glory.

• We pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, who nourishes us with Christ’s presence and makes us
one in ministry with the church throughout the world.
• We enjoy a foretaste of the heavenly banquet to come, when we will feast with all the saints in
God’s eternal realm.
