Holy Communion
"Come eat my food and drink
the wine I have mixed."
--Proverbs 9:5
The Sacrament of Holy Communion is about remembering our relationship
with God through Jesus the Christ.
When United Methodists share the Holy Communion they are doing
what almost all Christians do: celebrating a relationship with
the risen Lord, Jesus Christ, by taking seriously his own words
on the night before he died: "Take, eat; this is my body which
is given for you. Drink from this, all of you; this is my blood
poured out for you." If these words are new to you it might
sound like cannibalism or some very weird use of symbols and
a bit strange. If this is familiar to you, you will probably
be comfortable with observing or receiving the bread and cup.
