Holy Communion
open to all in love of Christ
We observe Holy Communion because the Lord told us to. We are to obey His commands: And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” (1 Corinthians 11:24, NIV) Holy Communion is open to everyone.
The table of Holy Communion is Christ’s table, not the table of The United Methodist Church or of the local congregation. The table is open to anyone who seeks to respond to Christ’s love and to lead a new life of peace and love, as the invitation to the table says.
