The Lord's Supper

The Lord's Supper is a participation in the emblems of the body and blood of Jesus, declaring His death until He comes. Preparation includes self-examination, repentance, and confession. The ordinance of foot-washing precedes the Supper, signifying humility and renewed cleansing.

1 Corinthians 11:26

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
