Holy Communion:

The Lord’s Supper is the sacrament of communion with Christ and with His people, in which bread and wine are given and received in thankful remembrance of Him and His sacrifice on the Cross; and they who in faith receive the same do, after a spiritual manner, partake of the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ to their comfort, nourishment, and growth in grace. All may be admitted to the Lord’s Supper who make a credible profession of their faith in the Lord Jesus and of obedience to His law. (Basis of Union 2.16.2)

The quote above comes from The United Church of Canada’s Twenty Articles of Doctrine. The Lord’s Supper or Holy Communion is one of the two sacraments of the United Church of Canada, and an important part of our tradition. It means a lot to us and we invite you to join us. In the United Church of Canada we celebrate an Open Table meaning that all present at worship services are welcome to participate in Holy Communion regardless of race, age, gender, sexuality, or their position on their faith journey. We don’t believe we should discourage anyone from eating of the bread or drinking of the wine (grape juice) because our table host is Jesus Christ who welcomes us all. We celebrate Holy Communion during a regular worship service at various times throughout the church year.
