Communion at ImmanuelHoly Communion is a sacred gift from God by which we are reassured of the forgiveness of our sins and the gift of eternal life which we have through Christ. In the celebration of Holy Communion, we believe the Risen Lord is truly present and gives himself in the bread and wine, His precious body and blood. It is not to be received lightly but should be received only by those who are truly sorry for their sins and thus are ready to receive the bread and wine. Let each one examine his or her life and be ready to receive with joy this wonderful sacrament.
We celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion at every worship service.
