In this series of Church Without Walls we’re suggesting to you that church looks like connecting with others to help with your spiritual growth. Sharing communion together and remembering the sacrifice of Jesus is a special way to form a strong connection and help with your spiritual growth.
Gather with others and centre your attention on God in your midst.

Connect Activity #4
Share communion with others.
JESUS INSTRUCTED US TO SHARE COMMUNION
When the time came, Jesus and the apostles sat down together at the table. Jesus said, “I have been very eager to eat this Passover meal with you before my suffering begins. For I tell you now that I won’t eat this meal again until its meaning is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”
Then he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. Then he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. For I will not drink wine again until the Kingdom of God has come.”
He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
After supper he took another cup of wine and said, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood, which is poured out as a sacrifice for you.
(Luke 22: 14-20)
Communion is a special time when we choose to remember the sacrifice Jesus made for us all. Sharing communion with someone is a special way to form a strong connection and help with your spiritual growth.
INVITE OTHERS TO PARTICIPATE
All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.
(Acts 2: 42)
Follow the example of the newly formed church in Acts 2 and gather together to remember Jesus in your midst.
