Holy Communion at Shalom Church

Join us for Holy Communion at Shalom Church, a sacred time of reflection and renewal as we partake in the Lord’s Supper and celebrate His grace.

"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.’"

– 1 Corinthians 11:24-25

At Shalom Church, the Holy Communion is a sacred and deeply spiritual gathering that takes place every first Sunday of the month. It is a time when all baptized brothers and sisters come together to partake in the Lord’s Table, remembering the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and renewing their faith in Him.

A Sacred Act of Remembrance and Renewal

The Holy Communion, also known as the Lord’s Supper, is more than just a ritual—it is a divine moment of reflection, confession, and spiritual cleansing. As we partake of the bread and wine, we remember the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, who gave His life for our salvation. This sacred act allows us to reflect on His love, confess our sins, and receive the cleansing power of His blood.

Structure of the Holy Communion Service

The Holy Communion Service follows a structured liturgy of confession, scripture, prayer, Eucharist, and blessing, commemorating Christ’s sacrifice and grace.

The Power of the Holy Communion

Participating in Holy Communion is a powerful reminder of our unity in Christ and the grace that saves us. It is a moment where believers renew their commitment to Jesus, experience spiritual cleansing, and draw closer to God. As we partake in this sacred act, we acknowledge that we are forgiven, redeemed, and called to live holy lives in obedience to Him.

As 1 Corinthians 11:24-25 reminds us, Jesus commanded us to do this in remembrance of Him. Through Holy Communion, we honor His sacrifice, reflect on His love, and recommit our lives to His service. We invite all baptized believers to join us every first Sunday of the month for this holy and life-transforming experience. Let us come before the Lord’s Table with humble hearts, partake in faith, and leave refreshed, renewed, and strengthened in Christ!
