1 Corinthians 11:23-26
The Lord’s Supper is at the center, or heart, of our worship life. We place such great importance on this celebration for the following reasons:
· We do it in remembrance of Christ and His life on earth
· We are drawn closer together in fellowship as a congregation
· We are giving thanks for forgiveness of sins and renewal of life
· We do it to rededicate ourselves in Christ’s way
The chalice symbolizes the central place of communion in worship for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The X-shaped cross of the disciple Andrew is a reminder of the ministry of each person and the importance of evangelism.
