Communion

Join us as we celebrate Holy Communion at our worship service on Sunday, July 21st.  We welcome Sam Needham to lead us in worship.

Sam Needham is a United Methodist minister and PhD student at Emmanuel College, University of Toronto. He's in his second year of the program, studying systematic theology, and happily riding the Raptors bandwagon. Sam is from Indiana and met his wife, Sarah, in seminary at Boston University School of Theology. Sarah is a teacher from Richmond Hill and they live there with her family. 

The Lord’s Supper, Eucharist, Holy Communion—these different terms refer to the same sacrament shared by most Christian denominations, a symbolic meal.

Communion is celebrated at a table that suggests the dining table in our homes. At the communion table, we acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the host and all are guests. The meal uses the symbols of small pieces of bread and a taste of wine or juice to remind us of Jesus’ last supper with his followers and of God’s enduring love.

The United Church invites all who seek to love Jesus to share in this family meal.

Jesus welcomed everyone, whether they were poor, rich, or just getting by; ill or healthy; self-made or educated; popular or a loner; secure or full of doubts.

The United Church of Canada prides itself on welcoming everyone the way Jesus did, regardless of age, race, class, gender, orientation, or physical ability.
