9. The Lord's Supper (Communion) We celebrate the Lord's Supper approximately once each month to remember Christ's execution on the cross to atone for our sins. The unleavened bread symbolizes his body broken for us, and the grape juice symbolizes the blood he shed for us. All who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are invited to participate. We believe that children also should be able to participate in special event, as they are just as much a part of the family of God as anyone. The precedence for including children was established in tthis he Old Testament where children shared in the Passover celebration. The Lord's Supper is a New Testament experience of the Passover. http://www.alivealive.org/Worship/communion.html

13. This coming October 1, congregations around the globe will celebrate World Communion Sunday. Most of us have heard about World Communion Sunday but may not know much about where the celebration originated. According to the website of the National Council of Churches, World Communion Sunday began in 1936 in the Presbyterian Church and was adopted by the Federal Council of Churches (predecessor of the NCC) in 1940. Since then, the celebration has grown into an international ecumenical celebration of Christian unity. The key word for World Communion Sunday is communion, or unity. http://www.ministrymatters.com/all/entry/3201/world-communion-sunday
