Practice 3: Weekly Communion
One of the earliest practices of the Christian Church was communion-the taking of bread and wine in remembrance of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. For some communion has been a reminder of Jesus. In some traditions communion is thought to be the actual body and blood of Christ. No matter what the thought, the practice of taking communion has been important in almost all Christian traditions. The founders of the Methodist tradition emphasized communion at least weekly and preferably 2 or 3 times per week. For them, communion was a means of grace-a unique way that the Sprint interacted with people. To miss regular communion was to miss one of the best opportunities for connecting with God. At our present church, communion is offered at one of the Sunday worship services each week. If your church doesn't have communion this Sunday, try to find one that does, even if it means worshiping in another congregation this Sunday or asking your pastor for it, or finding a midweek location for communion. Blessings this week, Jack
