What About Communion During COVID?

When we take the Lord’s Supper, the church gathers with Christ to remember and rejoice in his sacrifice for our sins. We reflect upon the great price he paid and the great privileges granted to us. As we look around, we marvel at the mercy shown to our brothers and sisters and treasure the truth that we belong among the people of Christ.

Until We’re All Together Again

On Sunday the pastoral team announced that we are not planning to take the Lord’s Supper together for the foreseeable future. In deference to our brothers and sisters who are staying home, we are choosing to wait until we can all be together again. For now, we are fasting rather than feasting.

We do not know how long this will last. It may be awhile. This is difficult and potentially disappointing. We feel it too.

Let’s trust that the Lord will continue to “bless us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places” (Eph. 1:3) while we fast. Let’s embrace this as an act of love for our fellow church members who are staying home during the coronavirus.

If you have questions about this decision (or anything else), please don’t hesitate to contact the pastoral team.
