 The
Holy Eucharist has been the central act of worship in the Christian
community from the time Christ celebrated his Last Supper with his
disciples and commanded that they continue to "do this" in remembrance
of him.
Not only is the Eucharist ancient, it is fundamentally simple. The
Liturgy has two distinct parts: The
Word of God and The Holy
Communion. The Word of
God includes a series of scripture
readings, a sermon, the recitation of the Nicene Creed, the Prayers of
the People, and the Peace. The Holy Communion includes the Eucharistic
prayer in which the priest recites the story of our creation and
redemption, recalling particularly the events of the Last Supper and
the death and resurrection of Jesus. This portion of the Liturgy
culminates in the faithful reception of Christ's body and blood.
We include hymns for good measure and to lift up our hearts. The
occasion is both solemn and delightful.
