The Lord's Supper
We celebrate Communion on the first Sunday of every month.
At Carismah Church we gather around the Lord's Table on the first Sunday of each month. The Lord's Supper—also called Communion or the Eucharist—is one of the two sacraments instituted by Jesus Christ, a visible sign and seal of the gospel of grace.
“The Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, ‘This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’”
— 1 Corinthians 11:23-24
A means of grace
In the Supper, the Holy Spirit nourishes and strengthens our faith as we feed on Jesus Christ by faith. It is not an empty symbol but a true communion with the risen Lord.
Remembrance and proclamation
We remember Christ's atoning death and proclaim the Lord's death until He comes, giving thanks for the new covenant sealed in His blood.
The communion of the saints
As one body we share one bread, expressing our unity in Christ across both of our congregations—English and Spanish.
Who may come
The Table belongs to the Lord. All who trust in Jesus Christ, have professed their faith, and are walking in repentance are warmly welcomed to receive. We invite you to examine your heart and come with faith.
Preparing your heart
Scripture calls us to examine ourselves before coming to the Table (1 Corinthians 11:28). This is not about being worthy in ourselves—none of us is—but about coming honestly, in faith and repentance, trusting in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Examine your faith
Do you trust in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation? Come resting on His grace, not your performance.
Confess your sin
Acknowledge your sin honestly before God, receiving His forgiveness and turning from it in repentance.
Be reconciled
As far as it depends on you, seek peace and reconciliation with others before you come (Matthew 5:23-24).
Come with gratitude
Receive the bread and the cup with thanksgiving, remembering Christ's death and proclaiming Him until He comes.
