The upper room.  You've heard of it before.  It was in that upper room that Jesus shared his last meal with his disciples before He was crucified.  What He had planned that night would become a sacrament throughout church history.  It was there that Jesus told us to eat and drink in remembrance of Him.  To remember.  A very powerful and necessary discipline.  In Taken By Communion, Dan Schmidt says, "As we eat and drink, our bodies are fueled only modestly in terms of physical nutrition; in spiritual terms, we enter time and space saturated by grace and can be permeated and refueled by it" (15).

At the communion table we worship through humble remembrance.  It is here that we remember: 

• Christ’s death paid for our sins
• His constant presence and love in our lives
• His promise to return

And as we remember we find that communion connects us with God and with each other.   We believe that communion is specifically for those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ, who have asked Him to lead their lives. Anyone who has done this is welcome to participate in communion during our gatherings, typically four or more times each year. 

“On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ‘This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant between God and you, sealed by the shedding of my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.’ For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord's death until he comes again.” 1 Corinthians 11:23b-26 NLT
