Communion is a meal that is not really filling to our bodies (we take just a small piece of bread and a small cup of juice). It is, however, ful-filling.

Our Contribution
This small act of our obedience is a large step of faith. In eating and drinking we proclaim that Jesus the Son of God loved each of us enough to die for our sins.

LOVING LIKE JESUS
As we partake of the loaf and the cup, we remember the One who loved us enough to die for us. Let us strive to love as he loved so we can be as close to him as possible.

The State of Our Union
The observance of Communion each Lord’s Day should remind us that the strength of our union, the glue that holds it together, is not in us—far from it. It’s in Jesus and Jesus alone.

“If I Had a Dollar …”
Because of The Savior's all-sufficient sacrifice, we are set for life—eternal life.

Transfer of Power
Just as the repeating of the presidential oath of office takes only a few seconds, it takes only seconds to take the emblems of Communion and to reaffirm our loyalty to Jesus.

Unforgettable Journey
At Communion, we remember the journey that Jesus traveled on our behalf and the mission he successfully completed. We anticipate our own “launch” into our eternal home.

A Peace for Every Season
The Communion table may be considered a “peace table,” for by these symbols of the bread and the juice we remember what the Prince of Peace accomplished, “making peace through his blood, shed on the cross” (Colossians 1:20).

Our Gated Community

The Master of Multitasking
There is much to remember about Jesus as we reflect upon the variety of tasks and titles given to him in Scripture and that he himself used to describe the work he faithfully accomplished.

Rescued
Each of us is an individual Titanic. We may, in our pride and self-sufficiency, think that we are uniquely grand and unsinkable. But each of us has already struck the iceberg of sin. It’s only a matter of time. But wait. God has provided a lifeboat for anyone who wants to be rescued.

Each One
It’s been estimated that over the course of history more than 100 billion people have lived on this earth. On the cross, Christ paid the penalty for their sins and provided eternal life—not only for every person who has ever lived, but for everyone who will be born after us.

The Taste of Death
Before the cross, Jesus had seen death’s impact and he had heard the cries of those who had lost friends and loved ones, but at the cross, Jesus experienced the full measure of its indescribable pain and horror.

No Payback Here
The emblems of Communion remind us that Jesus came, not on a mission of revenge but of rescue.
