The Holy Mystery
The Lord’s Supper, Holy Communion and the Eucharist are all names for the sacrament celebrated by Methodists. Each of these names highlights an aspect of the act of worship.
The Lord’s Supper reminds us that Jesus Christ is the host and that we participate at Christ’s invitation. Jesus invites us to take part in the special meal He ate with His disciples the night before His crucifixion, and other meals He shared in homes and on hillsides. The term Holy Communion invites us to focus on the self-giving of the Holy God which makes the sacrament an occasion of grace, and on the holiness of our communion with God and one another. Finally, Eucharist, from the Greek word for thanksgiving, reminds us that the sacrament is thanksgiving to God for the gifts of creation and salvation.
Rev. Dr. Stu will be offering Holy Communion each Tuesday in the sanctuary from 11-1PM. During this time the Sanctuary will be open for self-reflection and prayer. All are welcome.
