This Sabbath we celebrate Communion which is always a very special Sabbath experience at Sligo Church.
Those who attend our Communion Services come away blessed. Often you can see tears in the eyes of those in attendance at the end of the service. It's worth wondering whether they are moved by the song at the end of the service or by the service itself.
Just like the holidays, it can become so easy to "mail it in" when "doing" church. Even Communion can become prey to the waves of our boredom and repetition. It is so important that just as we remember our Savior for his birth in this season of the year, when we drink the blood and partake of the body, we are actually understanding the weight of this ceremony.
When we take part in this service, we are not commemorating the life and death of a normal deceased human. We are honoring the sacrifice of a living God who is actively searching for our communion, both spiritually now and physically in the future.
We welcome everyone to take part in Communion Sabbath at Sligo Church. May you have an experience that allows your walk with Jesus Christ to become more rich and fulfilling as you commune with God and fellowship with your community of believers.
