The Lord's Supper is a communal sharing of the symbols of the body and blood of Jesus as a visual confirmation of faith in Him, our Lord and Savior. Christ Himself is present during this rite, communicating with His people and strengthening their strength. By participating in the Supper, we joyfully proclaim the atoning death of the Lord and His return in glory. In preparation for the Supper, believers examine their hearts, confess their sins, and repent of them. Before receiving the symbols, the service of foot washing is performed, established by our Divine Teacher as a symbol of renewal, purification and as an expression of readiness to serve each other in Christian humility, as well as to promote the unification of hearts in love. The service of the Supper is open to all Christian believers.
