Participating with the Prince of Peace
     The Lord’s Table, it is not just a time of recollection.  It’s also a time of participation.  We are actually participating with the living Christ and communing with Him.  This is...

The traditional text for the table
The Lord's Supper is the only regular commemorative act which Jesus authorized. It dramatizes neither His birth, nor His life. It dramatizes neither His words nor His miracles. It only commemorates His death. Nothing could show more...
