Holy Communion

The Lord’s Supper or Holy Communion is one of the two sacraments of the United Church of Canada, and a cherished part of our tradition. It means a lot to us – we invite you to join us in this meaningful practice. The United Church of Canada celebrates an Open Table meaning welcoming everyone at worship services to share in Holy Communion regardless of race, age, gender, sexuality, or their position on their faith journey. We believe anyone can participate in eating the bread or drinking of the wine (grape juice) because our host is Jesus Christ who embraces us all. We celebrate Holy Communion during a regular worship service at various times throughout the church year.

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)
