Communion: The Family Table

Church is designed to happen around a table. It is at the table that the sacrament takes place and the people are transformed.

Communion shapes the individual’s life, but it also shapes the community’s life. In one sense it’s vertical - the blood aligns you with God and makes you righteous. It’s also horizontal - it makes us right with one another and unifies us.

You can’t individually be one with Christ and not also one with those who are also one with Christ.

This meal has been at the center of the church since the beginning - unifying the body of believers. No ideology, political preference, or theological camp can bring the kind of unity communion offers. This meal goes beyond a few minutes on a Sunday, it’s a lifestyle of being in relationship with other believers as you pursue God together.
