Hi Friend,

Have you ever wondered why we celebrate communion at Okolona Christian Church? Maybe you’ve wondered why we celebrate it the way we do? Or perhaps you’ve wondered why we celebrate it as often as we do? If so, you might find this article from the Bible Project helpful: Why Is the Lord’s Supper Significant in the Bible?
This past Sunday, we explored the background and the beauty of celebrating communion together. Even brief examination of the Bible reveals the centrality of table time to healthy relationships. A few of my favorite meal moments in Scripture are the times Jesus ate with His disciples following His resurrection. When He shared a meal with them AFTER the resurrection, Jesus was reassuring His friends that their relationship with Him was still intact and okay. It is the same message He extends to us with the invitation to join Him and His followers at the Lord’s Supper. When we accept His invitation and join Him there, we experience the reality of Psalm 34:8 - Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!

Friend, I hope you regularly take time to taste of the goodness of God, and to experience and celebrate the joy of taking refuge in Him.
