https://hmcworship.com/im-new/In this passage of God’s Word, we see Jesus instituting the Lord’s Supper, commonly referred to as communion. Many times, as Christians, it is easy to partake in Communion without really fully understanding what it is. By taking a close look at this passage of God’s Word, we can learn that…
Communion helps us to remember:
1. God’s sacrifice for us
Luke 22:15, 19-20, 1 Cor. 5:7, Is. 53:5, 1 John 2:2
2. God’s desire for a relationship with us
Luke 22:15, Acts 2:24, John 6:51-53, 2 Pet. 3:9
3. God’s promise to us
Luke 22:16, 20, Acts 2:24, John 3:16-17, 6:51-53

Groups
We believe that our faith grows best when we surround ourselves with other believers. That’s why we encourage everyone to be a part of one of our groups, where we can intentionally share our lives with one another. There is a Sunday School group meeting on Sunday mornings before Service at 9:30. Our small groups are also in the process of starting for the fall. If you would like to be a part of one, please reach out to Pastor Josh.
Workday on May 14th
We are planning to have a workday on May 14th from 9am-noon. If you are willing and able to help we would appreciate it!
