Communion

We believe communion, ordained by Christ, is a representation of our redemption, a memorial of the sufferings and death of Christ, and a token of love and union which Christians have with Christ and with one another. Those who rightly, worthily and in faith eat the broken bread and drink the blessed cup partake of the body and blood of Christ in a spiritual manner until he comes. Excerpts from TheUnited Methodist Book of Discipline.

• 8:45 am & 11:00am Traditional Worship services: served on the 1^st Sunday of the month.
• Intersections/Non-tradtional Worship service: served each week.

Anointing and Laying-on of Hands is available during Communion at the Traditional Service. Scripture strongly affirms ministries of spiritual healing. Spiritual healing is God’s work of offering persons balance, harmony, and wholeness of body, mind, spirit, and relationships through confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation. James 5:14-16a calls us to pray for and anoint the sick, that they may be healed. All healing is of God. God does not promise that we shall be spared suffering but does promise to be with us in our suffering. Trusting that promise, we are enabled to recognize God’s sustaining presence in pain, sickness, injury, and estrangement. A Service of Healing is not necessarily a service of curing, but it provides an atmosphere in which healing can happen. For the Christian, the basic purpose of spiritual healing is to renew and strengthen one’s relationship with the living Christ. Laying-on of hands and anointing with oil are sign acts invoking the healing love of God. Excerpts from The United Methodist Book of Worship.
