Fundamental Belief Number 12 - The Church

Queston: How does your church perform the Communion Service?

~~~~~~~~~~~~

12. Church:
The church is the community of believers who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. In continuity with the people of God in Old Testament times, we are called out from the world; and we join together for worship, for fellowship, for instruction in the Word, for the celebration of the Lord's Supper, for service to all mankind, and for the worldwide proclamation of the gospel. The church derives its authority from Christ, who is the incarnate Word, and from the Scriptures, which are the written Word. The church is God's family; adopted by Him as children, its members live on the basis of the new covenant. The church is the body of Christ, a community of faith of which Christ Himself is the Head. The church is the bride for whom Christ died that He might sanctify and cleanse her. At His return in triumph, He will present her to Himself a glorious church, the faithful of all the ages, the purchase of His blood, not having spot or wrinkle, but holy and without blemish. (Gen. 12:3; Acts 7:38; Eph. 4:11-15; 3:8-11; Matt. 28:19, 20; 16:13-20; 18:18; Eph. 2:19-22; 1:22, 23; 5:23-27; Col. 1:17, 18.)

Sorry,

Just noticed your question.

 

Answer:

With wine blessed by the Pastor in the Lords name.

With broken bread from a loaf.

Anybody is welcome to take wine/bread

Very simple service

That's ok Roger!!

We use unfermented wine, and unlevened bread. We also do footwashing, as in the Lord's Supper. We usually have a little sermonette and a prayer before the bread and wine are taken in.

Hello James,

I was ''officially brought up as a Church of England protestant'' but I never followed that church in later life.

In that church you were required to take communion lessons and the to become ''confirmed'' before you could break bread but in the Free Church that I attend there are people of varied church upbringing and anyone who accepts the Lord is invited to take communion.

In the C of E service they use wine and wafer (host)

Our services are similar to Baptist church
