The Ordinance of Communion

Aug 23, 1998    Pastor Roger Skepple

The second ordinance that is part of the life of the church is that of

communion. This ordinance has several different names, such as the Lord’s

Supper, the Lord’s Table, and the Eucharist just to name a few. In the early

church of the first century the communion service was part of a larger event

known as the Love Feast. The Love Feast was a common meal that was taken

after the church service that concluded with the communion service. It was

meant to be a joint dinner in which the entire body participated together.
