What does the Lord's Supper mean to you?


The worship committee has been having a lively discussion about communion - when in the service, where in the church, how we partake, what we partake, and why we share in the Lord's Supper.

Discussing communion is nothing new to the Christian Church. Splits and denominations have happened throughout the centuries over these various interpretations. The latest discussion at Church in the Hills has revolved around when in the service to share in the Lord's Supper.

The Sacrament must be taken with the Word of God proclaimed. That said, when should the communion liturgy take place in the service and why? I know the answers from our Book of Order, but I'm curious why it is important to your worship experience for it to occur in the place it does. Any thoughts?
