WORSHIP AND FAITH
Understanding Communion
Communion is a way Christians remember Jesus' death and give thanks for the new life he offers. Bread and the cup point us to his sacrifice and our shared life in him.
Why Christians share Communion
Jesus asked his followers to remember him through this meal. In 1 Corinthians 11:23–26, Paul describes receiving bread and the cup in remembrance of Jesus and proclaiming his death until he comes.
Taking part at ANCC
ANCC's published guidance invites people who believe in and trust Jesus Christ for salvation to receive Communion. If you are still exploring faith or prefer to observe, you are welcome to let the bread and cup pass.
Ask about the arrangements
If you want to know when Communion will next be served, contact the church. Ask beforehand about ingredients, allergies, children or anything you need to participate comfortably.

Communion belongs within a life of faith, worship and love for other people. If its meaning raises questions, a pastor can talk it through with you.
