How We Meet
Every Sunday Morning
Remembering Our Lord
During the Sunday morning 9:45 AM meeting, we observe the Lord's Supper, also referred to in the Bible as "Communion" or the "Breaking of Bread" (1 Corinthians 10:16-17, Acts 2:42). This is our response to the Lord's statement: "Do this in remembrance of Me" (1 Corinthians 11:24-25).

The Purpose
This service is completely devoted to worship. Our primary intent in this hour is to share in giving praise and worship to God the Father and our Saviour Jesus Christ. We especially focus on our Lord Jesus whose sacrifice for sins makes it possible for us to be forgiven and reconciled to God.
The Symbols
The loaf of bread symbolizes the body of the Lord Jesus. The cup symbolizes the blood of Christ shed for us (Luke 22:19-20). By partaking of the bread and drinking from the cup, we remember our risen Lord until He comes again.
A brother will give thanks for the bread and then the cup as Jesus gave thanks when He established the Lord's Supper. As the bread and cup are passed through the congregation, each participant will take a piece from the loaf, eat it, and pass the tray. While we recognize the important symbolism of a single cup, we use a single tray with small individual cups to avoid the possibility of contamination. As with the bread, each will drink from one of the cups, replacing it in the tray, and pass it on.
The Participation
No one man will direct or officiate at this meeting. There is no prescribed ceremony or ritual to which we adhere. Various men in the meeting will audibly participate as they are led by the Holy Spirit. Some men will suggest hymns for congregational singing; others may read from a scriptural text, or pray as an expression of gratitude to the Lord for His death and resurrection.
Women are asked to worship and meditate in silence as the scripture teaches (1 Corinthians 14:34), with the exception of the congregational singing in which all in attendance can audibly worship the Lord.
There is a marked simplicity to this service. We desire a sincere, honest, and joyful expression of praise and worship to our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. As we worship the Lord, we are drawn closer to Him. We pray that you too will be drawn closer to our Lord.
For Visitors
Only those who are born again believers who have trusted Him for eternal salvation ought to eat and drink in celebration of our risen Saviour's death for us. Those believers in assembly fellowship or those who have been received as visitors should "examine themselves" before partaking of the bread and cup (1 Corinthians 11:28).
If you are not publicly received by the assembly at the beginning of the meeting and/or do not normally participate in this service, we ask that you simply pass the bread and the cup by you.
The Offering
Following the Breaking of Bread, an offering will be received. This too is an act of worship. We return to God a portion of His overwhelming provision to us. Please do not feel any obligation to give.
