Communion Team
"For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ‘This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes." 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
The Communion Ministry in a church holds a significant and sacred responsibility, focusing on the preparation and distribution of the Communion emblems—bread and wine (or juice)—that represent the body and blood of Jesus Christ. This ministry ensures that Communion, a vital ordinance in the Christian faith, is conducted with reverence, care, and spiritual focus.
The team is entrusted with the meticulous preparation of the Communion elements, setting them up in a manner that honors the sacredness of this act of worship. From arranging the bread and cups to preparing the altar or Communion table, every detail is handled with thoughtfulness and prayer, ensuring a seamless experience for the congregation.
During the service, the Communion Ministry assists in serving the emblems to the congregation, guiding them through the process in an orderly and respectful manner. This ministry is not just about logistics; it embodies the spirit of service and devotion.
By facilitating this act of remembrance, the Communion Ministry helps the church body to reflect on Christ’s sacrifice, deepen their relationship with God, and foster a sense of unity among believers. Their service is essential in creating a meaningful, reflective, and worshipful Communion experience for the entire congregation.
