Communion is a quiet time to remember Christ and His
sacrifice for us on the cross. Most
churches do communion, but each church tends to do it a little bit different
and that can be confusing! We celebrate
this time of communion each week as we meet together for worship services. This
time is open to all who have begun a relationship with Christ; you do not have
to be a member of NBCC to participate in communion.
If you are at our Drive-In Worship, you will be provided
with the bread and juice when you arrive and pull into the drive-in lot. You will be instructed when to participate
during the service (it’s after the music and right before the sermon).
For those at our Inside Worship services, the bread and
juice will be passed to you at the appropriate time by servers. Please take the
bread and cup and then partake when you are ready. When finished, you may place
the empty cup in the seat back in front of you.
May we suggest that during this time you do the following…
… pray about the past week and think about your behavior and
attitudes
… grab a Bible from the pew in front of you and read a
passage or two from Jesus’ life
… reflect on the importance of Jesus Christ
At NBCC, there is no liturgy (church fancy word for “certain
words we say at certain times”) during communion. No one will talk to you and you need not
confess your deepest darkest secrets or speak to anyone else. It is a quiet time of reflection, prayer, and
focus on Jesus Christ. The communion
time last about 5-10 minutes usually depending on the length of the communion
meditation that is offered.
If you are not a Christian, please feel free to watch and
observe and reflect during this quiet time.
You do not have to participate… it is something that Christians do to
remember Jesus’ death on the cross.
