Elmira Church of Christ

The Communion service is one of the most important reasons we meet on Sunday. Did you know that in the book of Acts, we read that Paul and his companions thought communion was so important that they waited seven days in one town so they could assemble with the church and celebrate the Communion meal? See Acts 20:6-7

We celebrate and partake in communion at every Sunday service because of the nature of the Communion. We believe that Christ's sacrifice was so significant and life-changing that it deserves to be thought about and remembered regularly.

Each time we have Communion, we participate symbolically in the blood and body of Christ (1 Cor. 10:16). We also show our unity as a body, remember his sacrifice, and preach his death and resurrection (1 Cor. 11:17-34).
