Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
As a Christ-centered fellowship throughout the International Ministerial Congress of the Church of God (Seventh Day), we celebrate and proclaim the Lord Jesus Christ on the annual memorial of the Lord’s Supper.
This years’ service will be held on Friday evening, 26 March 2021.
It’s a time of deep reflection on the price paid for our redemption, on the nature of God’s love, and what our personal response ought to be as a result of being chosen by Jesus.
The Lord Jesus Christ commanded us to remember Him this way until He returns. Thus, we participate in the symbol of the bread, the covenant cup of the fruit of the vine, and rising from the table of fellowship we pick up a towel and proceed to wash one another’s feet.
This memorial service shared in community proclaims the significance of Jesus’ death, and what the ensuing power of His resurrection means.
For those who might find it helpful, we produced two videos last year which are available on the IMC video page. One video relates to having the Lord’s Supper service at home – if as a church community you’re still unable to meet because of civic health restrictions.
We pray that over the next two months, in the lead-up to this important commemoration for baptised members of the Body of Christ, that we carefully meditate and consider the rich meaning conveyed through the symbols of this annual service. Remember, the Lord’s Supper is both a memorial of His death and a proclamation of His glory and preeminence.
Let’s pray with all the more conviction, in the name of Jesus, so that we’re “worthy to stand before the Son of Man.”
On behalf of the International Ministerial Congress,
Share the good news!
