The
Lord's Supper,
or Communion, should be a soul-searching time of
reflection -- an occasion not to be entered into
lightly. Read
Paul's warning, then prepare your
heart before partaking of the Lord's Supper,
making sure you are right not only with Almighty
God but with believers. |

Dear
Heavenly Father:
In the name of your Son Jesus, the name above all
names, we seek your mercy and grace, your
forgiveness and cleansing from our sins. As we
prepare to commemorate once again how Jesus died
on the cross so we might live with You forever in
heaven, we ask for the Holy Spirit to search our
hearts and bring unconfessed sins to mind that we
might fully restore our relationship with You and
with our brothers and sisters in Christ. We stand
on the promise of 1st John 1:19 that You are
faithful and just and will forgive us and cleanse
us from our unrighteousness. Father, You we
praise and thank and worship in Jesus' name.
Amen. |

The
Lord's Supper is celebrated many ways.
Typically the ordinance is performed
during a Sunday worship service. But, the
truth is, the Bible doesn't specify
exactly when or where or how. We can draw
insights from the Passover meal Jesus
shared with His disciples before going to
the cross. Paul's writings shed
additional light. We at the Sonshine Worship
Service ask you to let
the Holy Spirit be your guide. Ask for
His peace, then gather the symbolic bread
and cup and join us in Communion. |

Let us
break bread together on our knees.
Let us break bread together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face
to the rising son, O Lord, have mercy on
me. |

Let us
drink the cup together on our knees.
Let us drink the cup together on our
knees.
When I fall on my knees, with my face
to the rising son, O Lord, have mercy on
me. |

For I received from the Lord what I
pass 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." -- 1 Corinthians 11:23-24 |
|
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 11:25 |
 |
|
 |
For whenever you eat
this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the
Lord's death until He comes.
--
1 Corinthians 11:26 |

Precious Savior
and Lord:
Thank you for offering your unblemished body and
sinless blood as the perfect Lamb of God to
attone for our sins. Jesus, help us to realize
and fully appreciate your excruciating sacrifice
for us at Calvary. May we always remember the
price You paid in full to save us from the
eternal fires of hell. Help us to stay right with
you and right with others.Now let us leave this
place singing a hymn of praise, cleansed and
refreshed from this Communion with You, the King
of King and Lord or Lords. May we now arise and
go from here determined all the more to please
You and accomplish your will. Amen.
