“Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ?
And
is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?”
- 1 Corinthians 10:16
Communion is a unique and intimate time in the presence of God when the elements of bread and grape juice (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross. At Mountain Park, we take Communion together as a church family on specific Sundays out of the year. And if you watch online, we invite you to participate in Communion with us as well.
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave
it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”Then he took a cup, and when he had
given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the[a]
covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink
from
this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s
kingdom.”
- Matthew 26:26 - 29
“For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was
betrayed, took bread, 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 11:23 - 25
